    I'm not sure. I wanted to play with a Dungeon concept. They are lands, it is very neutral and it cycles in a way. I think Tokair Duct would be more of an Uncommon but I can't tell how good it is. It might be a rare.

    There is room, at the moment, for five lands at each rarity. That can change.

    Is it possible for the dungeon to tap for colorless? Real magic lands always tap for mana nowadays. It would feel better if it could make mana.
  • HingesHinges
    Just to complete white up, should we make a Wary Traveler that is a Creature-Human Townsfolk. I would make it but I thought I should ask permission first.
  • HingesHinges
    I'll make it tap. I'll do that now.
  • Scott_AndersonScott_Anderson
    Thank you. That’s a handsome land.

    I will remake Wary Traveler and add it in at the CW01 spot.
  • HingesHinges
    Nice. I will start looking at blue Commons today.

    I've been a little bit busier today at work. You don't happen to know Sophos antivirus? I will need to do a migration to their cloud base servers and I'm a bit nervous.

    I don't know anything. I did just upgrade my Norton, but I don't know about your work stuff.

    I'll keep rolling through the uncommons...

    Don't worry if you don't feel like you are going fast enough. Just go at your own pace. It's supposed to be for fun!

    I would like to suggest this as one of the uncommon artifacts:

    Besokare - that's brilliant. I just love it. Thematically it's just right. This guy is scouting things out. He's their "guest" or "visitor"

    Thanks :) Here is the Enchant Aura. I'm not sure how much I like it but here it is.

    So I have a question. I was going to do some kind of vault for the next card. I was trying to think of a known underwater city or kingdom within the Vodalian Empire.

    I couldn't think of one from Fallen Empire but after reading up on all this history, and that not much is known about Vodalian History the first thing that came to mind was the Lord of Atlantis. The Limited Alpha card. Is Alpha the oldest set in regards to the timeline? If so shouldn't a remnant of Atlantis be known to the Vodalian Empire and shouldn't they have artifacts from that civilization?

    If so my next card:

    I think that's a nice card. It's a good card. If you want to revisit it and revise the flavor later, that is OK. I like this though. I will add it.

    If you mean to say that the merfolk have ancestors from Atlantis, you would say "Atlanean Bloodline"

    I'm doing the color hosers.

    In FE, there were very strong color hosers at uncommon. These days, color hosing is considered bad design because it's very narrow and not fun to play against.

    Therefore, I'm trying to make spells that are a little softer against enemy colors but maybe better against more decks.

    Here are the UG and GU hosers that I would like to include:

    Here are the green and black mirrors. They are not hosers:

    @Scott_Anderson - feel free to utilize any cards I post here as you want. If you want the Art link just let me know!
  • Scott_AndersonScott_Anderson
    @Corwinnn, I would like to use your art and your card name for Eat In Tonight. Would you be willing to allow us to use those elements?
  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    Absolutely

    I like the Swedish language elements you have chosen to use. Are you Swedish?

    @hinges On wisdom's well:

    "The battles I choose are those in my favor. The battles I lose had unforseen interventions."

    I don't think I like that mechanic. Handing two cards to your opponent is certainly enough of a disadvantage. That's correct. I just don't like the mechanic for some reason. Maybe it's all the times I was harmed by my own Arcane Denial?

    A couple of suggestions on alternatives:

    Geist Snatch 2BlueBlue (4)
    Instant
    Counter target creature spell. Create a 1/1 blue Spirit creature token with flying.
    (except with a Homarid or Merfolk token)

    Oppressive Will 2Blue (3)
    Instant
    Counter target spell unless its controller pays 1 for each card in your hand.

    Psychic Barrier BlueBlue (2)
    Instant
    Counter target creature spell. Its controller loses 1 life.

    There are a lot of choices for a spell to model our common counterspell after

    I know I know. I loled because it is very give and risky to take. The idea is that the player who can counter the spell and pick and choose when to do so. Yes it is straight up a counter, but they are giving away two cards for his enemy to draw. It seems to give more than it takes but if the player is watchful they might guess when to cat the spell on the more powerful spells.

    I regardless of sharing my reasons as to why, I still see your point. It might be better to have your counter spell fail then letting an opponent draw any cards at your expense.

    If you are sure I can be easily convinced to change it.

    Here is my neutral land dungeon leaning towards a blue flavor.

    I will remake that tho. I just notice the letter/word "a" is off the page.

    I am not Swedish. I thought I read somewhere that Voda could mean water in that language but now I can't find where I read that. Embarrassing if that's wrong, I just hoped that the Voda language could rely heavy on the Swedish language as merfolk society is not well known.
  • HingesHinges
    Dang. I just looked up Arcane Denial. I thought I came up with this mechanic on my own.
  • HingesHinges
    I even was going to add the," at that players end step" but I left it out to keep it short. I got to think of something new. I thought I was being unique dang it lol.
  • Scott_AndersonScott_Anderson
    It's hard to invent new words!

    Voda is a proto-Slavic word for water. Many Eastern European languages use that word. It might also be Swedish.

    In any case, you are allowed to take artistic license. I think it's really cool.
