@joemamajoe Considering how minor the comment is, failing to comment or favorite there feels like bad manners. People will sometimes give feedback on a card without having a card to post themselves, and while it's admittedly pretty rare then you sho…

@Abu_Jafar Fading is a mechanic that only appeared in the Nemesis set, and kind of got replaced by the vanishing mechanic, which was slightly more intuitive when it came to counters and gave them an excuse to give the counters a new name (time count…
-
@yebi I'm not certain what's going on with your artist crediting, but it certainly isn't right. The artist of the piece used for Ranayesh, Blood Trickster is by Michael C. Hayes (and comes from a real MTG card, Deviant Glee). I couldn't actually fin…
-
The description of the Blackhand Corsairs refers to them as raiding the shores of Englewood. Is Englewood a part of the Blightwood, a different place altogether or just some sort of absentminded mistake? I'd hate to make some flavor reference to it …
-
@LordTachanka123 Quite possibly, yes. There's no rule dictating that you can't enter a card into multiple challenges if it fits them (though of course you probably shouldn't ruin a design purely because you want to fit an extra condition and so go i…

@Level20GnollBard In terms of balance, Vritra is probably acceptable-ish (though it's certainly a powerful reanimation target in slower games). The card acknowledges the oppressive nature of the abilities and costs enough that actually getting them …
-
@DrakeGladis Unfortunately, I suspect that for the time being the cube will be being done almost solely on discord because of how convenient it is for rapid communication, discussion and decision compared to other mediums, such as these forums. Onc…

@shadow123 Nice concept, and I do like the continuation of the Boros and their lightning minotaurs. In practice, this is significantly underpowered. Here's a quick breakdown of why: - On the turn you play it, this is an investment of five mana for…
-
@sorinjace You posted your card following the first wave of avatars being distributed, so the moderators are probably waiting for a little while (so they can do more entries at the same time) before distributing a second wave (in which you'll presum…
-
@spookoops I'm pretty sure that Antagonism is a sort of affinity for things your opponents have. So in this case, it means that Warrior and Beast spells cost one less for you to cast for each artifact your opponents control.

@pjbear2005 Hergusbergus is using a program called Magic Set Editor, typically referred to as MSE.
-
@Abu_Jafar It doesn't seem to be, as I think the idea is that you're limited to copying it up to the number of the volley. With this, for example, I think that it means that you could get a maximum of two copies. Storm's certainly an extremely vola…
-
@Fantastickill7 Whoa, I really wasn't expecting anybody to try to and replicate that. Nicely done, sorry for any accidentally-applied brain damage.
-
I'm just going to put this set of my custom-frame cards here for anybody seeking ideas, examples or a headache. I know it's a bit empty at the moment, but I'm working on filling it up. I'd edit it into the opening statement, but one hour edit restri…
-
@Damnation We've somehow managed to ninja each other using the original concept and its spawn. Wow.
-
@pjbear2005 First thing's first, the wording isn't quite right. It should probably read as follows: _______________________________________________ Suspend 12--{U} [It should technically be a long-dash here. Little thing, but it matters.] At the b…
-
So, here we go. Due to the fact that a lot of the issues are rather sweeping, I'm saying some more general things rather than getting down to individual card level. This first thing is just going to be a few basic issues, which should help break dow…
-
Does the first yes mean "It's a set"?
-
@joemamajoe Right. First off, a few questions to establish how I should be evaluating it: - Is it supposed to be a set in the sense of a real set, or just a pile of cards, or something else altogether (like a cube, though why you'd call that a set…
-
Are you looking for anything like feedback, or are you just saying that it exists? Also, have you considered just putting a direct link to it into your comment or something?
-
@joemamajoe The contest is based around the idea of how villainy can be shown in colors other than black, so the entries aren't supposed to use black. As a result, Janaka probably isn't a viable entry.
-
@TheCenterOfTheUniverse I'll probably count it as an entry to the custom frames category, since Pick your Poison only exists as a Mystery Booster test card and it doesn't really have a precedent for a frame or exploration. I'll apply the same logic …
-
@Tommia Presumably you mean that you made it before Ranshi's entry? Anyway, I've got to remind you that entries are technically supposed to be made using CS (and since this doesn't really do any of the frame-things associated with spellcraft, I'm no…
-
@Abu_Jafar I'll give feedback for both of your cards, starting with the Plague-Spreaders: - In my eyes, the card just generally isn't white. A bunch of people going around and spreading a plague? Not typically white, but I'll let it off on account…
-
@Rayne-Lord Nope. The only place that counts as exile is exile. The only zone that the command zone counts as is the command zone.
-
@Dizzydude Ability counters are being introduced in Ikoria and there are an assortment of instant and sorcery cards there that give ability counters to creatures, so my assumption would be that you can.
-
@Fantastickill7 It may be worth noting that fading's already a real mechanic name, so while it may fit more then it works less.
-
@KorandAngels Having totally failed to consider un-cards (I wasn't planning to look for them), then thanks for indirectly making me consider that. I've now added to the contest rules that people should avoid silver-bordered entries, but this can pro…
-
@KorandAngels Yes, one of the factors I'll take into consideration is flavor. To clarify, that refers to the flavor and theme of a card as a whole, not just flavor text.
-
@EnvyReaper As I said before, it's hard to really evaluate a card when you don't know everything that it does, but here we are. Thinking of the reverse side as a card with similar power levels to Shifract, here's a little consideration of Peskirk's …
