@TenebrisNemo Happy Birthday mate! This seems like a fun group hug card, with slight advantage for you. Its powerful, so maybe make it a legendary? Here’s a big bad dude. First Darklord of Tolkien’s Legenarium. I could move his cost up to cmc…

@Cryptokaiju I’ll start by saying that the formatting of this card is pretty nice, and you got the correct frame and credited the artist! All things which many new smiths struggle with, so kudos there! As for the actual contents of the cards, here …

I see. Love the art choices, but I have reservations about all of them mechanically. I think if you could come up with a succinct unifying mechanic that tied them all together, plus could conceivably be on cards of lesser rarity I’d be more hype for…

Would anyone care to comment on my Endure mechanic? Its the last thing I need to iron out before I get into making the set for real.
-
@KorandAngels It may well be that by pairing it with effects that proc of it you can turn it into an advantage, no doubt. My point is that on its own its a net loss. All the keyword mechanics that we’ve seen that self mill (Dredge, Surveil,) do a th…

@AboveAndAbout That could be interesting, but I think if its gonna be a ability word, then I’d keep it as is. If i were to change it, I’d be looking at a Keyword. maybe something like: Endure (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on…

@CassZero Genju life chain seems to be a fairly strong card, not in a bad way. All the abilities, excepting maybe the second are seen on spells of around 2-3 cmc, so all things considered I think 5 mana at legendary is a fair price. Critique: This…

there is a mechanic that Scott Anderson was using in one of his sets called Muster that could be a very useful in that it rewards tribal deck building but is sufficiently broad in ts wording that it can be used in many different tribes. He hasn't be…

@SpellPiper2213 Yours is fire bro. Honestly love that new flavor text!

@The-DM The reason why you're name came up as 'skull' is because you misspelled 'Cavalry.' When you put in Calvary, (the hill where Jesus was crucified) it read it as such. Calvary is the latin translation of the Aramaic 'Golgotha' which is "the pl…

As for my cards- I'm looking for more brainstorming than feedback here. I'm making a mega cycle for the hybrid cards in my Al-Qara set. I published the black/white creature and it got some good response. I'm looking to continue that with the other …

@Rosebaron Hello friend, seems you're new here! Welcome to cardsmith! In the interest of helping you become a better cardsmith, I'll detail all the issues with your card. Just know I'm trying to help, not put down your card! 1. First of all, I lov…

It sounds like a massive undertaking actually. I think it best to start with a smaller set. That way its easier to complete, and you can always do a follow up if you feel up to it. My current set of Al-Qara is only 200 cards. That gives me room to …

After some thought, I don't think mantras should be a enchantment if a ripple type effect is exclusive to them. Basically it could get really wordy. Imagine White-Lotus Mantra 1W Chant 4 (When you cast this spell, you may reveal the top four card…
-
So I'm now pretty unclear on the flavor of this setting. Is this based off of Colonial India in the modern era, or is this Medieval/Ancient India? I think they both have distinct tones and flavor and you should probably decide on one. If you wanted …
-
Well, I think we should hammer out the abilities and their functions a little bit more- Is Chant a renaming of Ripple, or is it a an ability that would be seen on creatures that has interaction with Mantras- Do mantras have ripple, or some other s…

@shadow123 Ok! Who doesn't love madness! Also, Hellbent was one of my favorite mechanics and I really don't think it ever got justice. - Maddened Avenger. I love this card, but I honestly do think it's pushed. The forced discard is a steep limit, …

To clarify my own position, I will state, that while I am not myself a Hindu, I have been deeply influenced by Hindu philosophy (and went on a 5 month trip to India in 2018), along with the other great religions of the world, Islam, Christianity, S…

A Mystic - by Metaltrox , this guys got some great stuff https://www.deviantart.com/metalratrox/gallery -- I'm probably gonna utilize some of his stuff, but there's definitely a bunch that would work great for your set!

Bant seems like a good shard for Humans. This would include legendaries like Prince Rama, and his culture- the kingdom of Ayodhya, and mystics would fall pretty cleanly here as well. I could also see demigods like Garuda as legendary in this camp, a…
-
I would recommend sticking to one theme of colors- It can get confusing in terms of structure. But feel free to do it if you think you can, but I tend to pick one of them from below and then go from there. Alara Shards, Tarkir Wedges, Allied Guilds…
-
i'm probably forgetting some, but you get the idea. The big thing is to figure out your color factions, and begin to develop identities and set structure from there.

Do the Rakshasas! Cat demons all the way bro. I could see you doing Loxodon's as part of the special retinue of Ganesh. But i'd avoid it as a major tribe. Definitely do Nagas! And of course to fill out the set, you'll want lots of awesome anima…
-
Word. Ya it could be done, but it'd have to be a fairly simple effect that could be scaled up the more you played, on it's own it should be pretty basic. Also another thought on creature types- Angels and Demons would work very well in this set, a…
-
Totem armor would be cool, but I know through experience it can be hard to find the right art for it. This is what I think- This set is enchantments matter. Introducing the new enchantment type 'Mantra" Avatar, shouldn't be a tribal focus, as in…

Speaking of that- new enchantment type!! - Mantra

108 is considered a sacred number in India. If you've ever seen a Mala necklace (prayer beads) they always have exactly 108 beads on them. Supposedly by repeating a mantra 108 times it sinks deeper into your soul and has more impact.
-
That sounds more like a keyword ability to me, such as: Meditation N (This creature gets +0/+N as long as it's untapped.) Which could be cool, but I think it would be instead of the counters. Basically I intend to use Meditation counters, at least …
