@FangQuil , I don't feel like this type of card advantage feels white. White card draw should tax others for breaking rules, be a tutor, be Monarch-based, be recursion-based, be a cantrip or provide everyone with that cantrip - draw equalization in …

For a weaker effect that could fight against Mill: TBA - 1G OR 2G Sorcery Choose one or both: *Shuffle up to three target cards from graveyard into their owner's libraries. *Choose target card in your graveyard. At the the beginning of your next e…
-
And some other possible designs for the set: TBA - {1} Artifact {T}, Pay 1 Life: Exile target card from a graveyard. {T}, Sacrifice ~: Exile all cards from target player's graveyard. You gain 3 life. Card Notes: A design for graveyard hate in the …

@ningyounk , I feel like going down to 5 colorless uncommons and adding 5 uncommons to each other color is the way to go. Artifacts don't have much to do with the set themes, nor do lands, and the 4 extra colorless cards from Eldraine were because t…
-
@ningyounk , I think the commons and uncommons are currently going across well. So, I'll leave suggestions for colorless uncommons and thoughts on the current uncommons posted: * Deserted Abbey seems dangerous. It can be used to power out any comb…
-
also I accidently forgot not to ping jpastor, sorry for that
-
@ningyounk , my thoughts on the uncommons so far: 1. Pure-Heart Pilgrim feels a bit too hard to enable - only 1 life per turn. I do have an alternate possibly design for the Serran Life archetype - which takes advantage of the inherent mechanics of…

@jpastor , here you go. My challenge was to create a wall with toughness 7 or greater. Unstable Barricade by Potato13 | MTG Cardsmith Another box, please.
-
My card for the challenge, "Create a beeble". Another box, please.
-
@jpastor , I'll choose Prize 36 - Favourites. The challenge here was to create a card inspired by Knight of the Hokey Pokey that has a quote from a god in its flavor text. The Hokey Pokey part of this card is the fact that it's a bulk common for a…
-
@ningyounk , Another Self-Portrait could do with being 3 mana in order to not be too good. Party Harder also feels like a card that isn't technically a color pie break but definitely is - like if Green got a 2 mana 1/1 with deathtouch that fights so…
-
@TheDukeOfPork , the program used was MSE - specifically, using the sweet templates by Cajun. I could gush about the features, but I'll instead just give you the links to both Cajun and MSE. You'll probably need to do some screwing around to set it …
-
@jpastor , my submission. The challenge was to make a creature with a 5-color identity that referenced Zendikar in its name, that was also inspired by Knight of the Hokey Pokey. The inspiration from Knight seeped into almost every corner of this car…
-
@jpastor , my card for the Pork & Beans Challenge. Apologies for not being able to hyperlink the image - I've completely forgotten how to do that. For context, the challenge was to create a legendary creature card with a 5-color identity and thr…
-
@jpastor , could I have another mystery box?
-
@ningyounk , I've returned to look at the cards once again, with a substantially greater understanding of mtg under my sleeve. The only card that I find really, really concerning is Sudden Blossom; I don't know if you've seen decks like Death's Shad…
-
@ningyounk , I feel like as far as sets go, we're going good here. However, I will post a few mild notes about the commons. Blue: For Discover, there's no common way to set up the library to take maximum advantage of it. I'd suggest replacing Mosa…
-
@ningyounk , looking at the directional card ideas so far, I have a few thoughts about them: For B/G, Sudden Bloom feels a little too strange as a combat trick that relies on something that happens post-combat, and Effigy of Solstice feels too easi…
-
@ningyounk , I enjoy the first Eradicate Heresy that you posted. The 3 / 7 Renewal idea is sweet. For each of the Directional Cards, there are a few ideas to consider: TBA - 3WW Creature - Angel Flying Whenever ~ and another angel you control at…
-
@KorandAngels , balance can't be rushed. While it is good that you enjoy lore aspects, the focus right now is on designing the cards themselves - after all, this is a custom card site.
-
@ningyounk As for the black removal suite, I agree with keeping Angelic Kiss and adding Set in Stone. Eradicate Heresy seems very bad, even in the archetype it's made for. It's generally a bad Fourth Bridge Prowler or Fungal Infection; waiting unt…
-
@HeroKP , apologies if these aren't too "scientific". There's only so much science you can use with a paradoxical haze! However, I did find the competition very fun. The Geothermal Cavern was morphed drastically by the shifting hazes. It morphed t…
-
@ningyounk , I think there are various ways that the archetypes attempt to win, but for now the current best ways to win in limited are: W/U Second Spell - Attempts to get out a Thunder Drake or good uncommon and protect it / let it swing the game.…
-
@HeroKP , I should have probably asked first, but can we use non-cardsmith sites to generate the cards? My selection of cards would greatly benefit from things like Timeshifted card frames and set symbols.
-
@Liwg , Mists of Exile is too strong. It's 2 mana to perfectly answer pretty much any threat in the early game, and even if your opponent damages you a lot, you can still kill a 2 or 3-drop and gain 2 life. I'd argue it's on par or slightly better t…
-
@ningyounk , thanks for clearing that up! I feel like the Angel and Cleric payoff at common could be very simple, such as an Angel/Cleric that says "Clerics/Angel spells you cast cost 1 less to cast.", or if the spell also needs to be a removal sp…
-
@SpellPiper2213 , that's because Ranger is an entirely new typeline added in Rezatta - it's like when Noble was added as a subtype with Throne of Eldraine, cards like Stromkirk Noble became Nobles. With this set, cards like Jadelight Ranger would pr…
-
And I may as well mention it; Crafty Ranger has Ranger in the name, but it's a scout. This isn't a gigantic flaw of the set of something, but it kills my soul.
-
@ningyounk , For the commons, I have a few suggestions for supporting Angels and Renewal, besides from shifting everything to a cleric. 1. In white, cut Reborn Faerie and Radiant Champion for a Cleric / Angel payoff and probably another card for se…
-
@ningyounk , W/B Angels and Clerics does sound decent then. I do have a few ideas for the signpost: TBA - 4BW Creature - Angel Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, you may return up to two target Cleric cards from your graveyard to your hand. 3/…
