@Faiths_Guide, yes, we were considering using "chichapie" as a source for anthropomorphic animals since we were having trouble finding appropriate art. However, I think we decided not to do the animal theme @everybody We have two current things we…

@modnation675, @KrampisZman, just a reminder You have two more days to submit your entries.

@ningyounk For a combat psylian life-gain mechanic, we have a few options: we could make "psylian lifelink;" not keyword it; or invent a new mechanic, which I don't think the set needs, since we're still trying to make an emotion mechanic. On your c…

@Everybody Here are my findings from day one of playtesting. I played a mono-white Soldiers and Life-gain deck that I threw together in about ten minutes (XD) against a roughly cobbled mono-red Goblin aggro and a Simic Biodiversity deck that I built…

@modnation675, no worries; you've got until the ninth
-
@syntheticreign, yeah, I'm going to up the mana cost of the life-gain cards to compensate for the more valuable reward of psylian life. Lifelink I'll just keep as normal.
-
@syntheticreign, definitely. I'm working on throwing together a quick life-gain deck from my bulk cards to test with, replacing normal life with psylian life.
-
@syntheticreign, I think there shouldn't be a reverse version where you pay 1 mana to gain 3 psylian life. It's too easy to get a buffer; you could empty your mana pool as a response to taking damage and gain a whole bunch of psylian life to prevent…

@modnation675, sounds good!

Entry #1: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/batraquomancy Batraquomancy: Divination using frogs.

@Glasseschan, we're just waiting on @KrampisZman. Kramp, you have an extension; your due date is Sunday the Ninth. @modnation675, you need to make a card also by the same date. Both of you: NOTE THAT EVEN THOUGH YOUR OPPONENTS ARE UNABLE TO ENTER, Y…

@syntheticreign, we tentatively eliminated both versions of Outburst; the first version for the reasons @ningyounk explained and the second because it was too similar to Virtuoso. @ningyounk, okay; we should test out psylian life with different amou…
-
@everybody I agree with @ningyounk in that we need to playtest psylian life. We all should try out a game or two, maybe by making life-gain spells give you psylian life instead. Test out the power level of losing psylian life first, and of the pay-2…
-
@ningyounk, @modnation675, @syntheticreign, @Lujikul Okay. So the main things we've been discussing in the last 22 comments (XD) are: losing pyslian life first, and ways to make psylian life matter. On the former: I think that it's okay to lose psyl…
-
@ningyounk ( @syntheticreign ) That's right... do you lose psylian life first, or do you get to choose? If you're only using psylian life for mana, and you can't otherwise lose it, there's no reason to not use it all up. On the reminder card, it say…

@brcien, remember to include "goat creature" in the reminder text. You can discover a land or a goat creature with Friendly Guide, but the reminder text says "...reveal a land card..." instead of "...reveal a land or goat creature card..."

But yes, five mechanics like experience counters and Cascade would be too much XD.
-
@ningyounk Recall that I used "mechanics" in the loosest sense of the word; in this case I was referring to not only keywords but also things like -1/-1 counters, energy counters, etc. The awe factor, if it isn't something like the art coming out of…
-
@ningyounk, I like the name "Psylian life," and this.... token? emblem? reminder? card is a great awe factor for the set. In D&D, when you take damage, you lose temporary hit points before normal hit points. They're granted by a spell, and wear …
-
I'd say we need about 5 mechanics (in the loosest sense of the term; this includes things such as -1/-1 counters and the like). For exploration, we have Discover; I think it's fair to say we've settled on that. For art coming to life, we have Virtuo…
-
@ningyounk, true. Outburst #2 is kinda encroaching on Virtuoso's territory. And while I agree that there could be advantages to removing Outburst, let's not take it off the table altogether yet. We're still early in the design of this set, so we don…
-
@Latinas, yeah, Kaladesh is a weird one. I caught some Greek themes thrown in, too. EDIT: More modern greek, not ancient greek. Just to clarify XD
-
@ningyounk, @everybody *Whew* there's a lot to address here XD On Discover: I definitely support "Discover [something] (Look at the top three cards of your library. You may reveal a [something] card and put it into your hand. Put the rest of the car…

@ningyounk, @brcien, @everybody Okay, it seems like life-matters is what people want. But yes, I think art tokens should definitely be enchantments.
-
@Lujikul, when I say expanding The Claymaker, I don't mean take the same information and extrapolate on it; I mean that much, much later when the set is complete we could write the first story episode with that as the basis. We would add specific ch…
-
Fabacin sounds cool, and has my vote. You're right, mechanics for this set could be very interesting.
-
@ningyounk, let me take you way back to page five (XD) and respond to your analyzation of the set from yesterday. I agree with it, except for three things: One, I don't think that we have fully decided on life-matters over enchantment matters. Two,…

@MrRansom, ever read Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy? This is totally the main character XD Nice card, by the way!
