Slightly bummed to have to wait an extra day, but gives me time to write my "invitation received" segment haha. I'm really excited to start interacting with some of the other characters, too. A super interesting 'dramatis personae' if you will.
-
Well, I decided to go ahead and compile a list of sets that haven't had a card printed with their name yet. Some of these have cards with similar names or cards that have the set name as part of the name of other cards, which I've gone into a little…

I think one of your major obstacles with this set's theme is trying to make a clear distinction between sci-fi and space fantasy. The line between them has blurred a lot over the years too thanks to stuff like Star Wars. The other problem with it un…

My first entry is a bit of a two for one. I wanted to draw heavily from the set(s) mechanically/thematically with the card, while also exploring options outside of the namesakes. Morningtide // Eventide Not 100% sure on balance or anything, but i…

Oh this is actually a super neat idea, going to try my hand at it for sure!
-
I've been drooling over this all day, it's really wonderful stuff in there, including some extra bits and pieces of info like updated keyword distribution at low rarities and the most common effects from each color and the general mv for a lot of st…
-
I think a really important thing here is to really start by focusing on the design of the set from either a bottom-up or top-down focus. Since you don't seem to have a specific mechanical identity or exploration in mind like "lands matter" or "multi…
-
One thing that came to mind with the token spells was that I was reminded of someone who's working on a Food set who makes copies of card into your hard. Probably not super helpful design for this set, but I figured I'd share.
-
@WarriorCatInAhat I imagine sooner rather than later, but everyone continuing to ask isn't really going to make it happen any faster.
-
So glad to finally have all of mine done. Was stressing about it a lot, but really wanted to polish it up nice and get the balancing decent. Think it came out okay. Also curious what people think about the choice of card frame and such, it's an old…

Backstory (Placed in spoilers in case anyone would like to learn about it more naturally than have it all spelled out): (Spoiler) Hate that I had to separate out everything into three posts, especially the backstory from the rest of the charact…

New Horizons Nilfi was wet, cold, and grumpy. It had been three days since he woke up in this place and it had been nothing but dark skies and storms the whole time. With a sigh, Nil reached into their coat pocket and pulled out a silver fla…

Well with that said then, I'll post the cards now and update this post in an hour or so with writing. I started writing the post last night but was going to pass out on the keyboard haha. Presenting my character Nilfi: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view…

Posting in the morning, sorry for cutting it close!
-
Thanks for the update! I should have stuff submitted tomorrow, but if not Tuesday almost guaranteed.
-
So your plan is to introduce more characters as the tournament goes on? Odd.
-
I'm going to look at this collection more later, but I started reading and saw the plane name and couldn't help but chuckle. Garemond is so very close to Garamond, a popular (and one of my favorite) typefaces/fonts. Not suggesting a need to change i…
-
Worst case scenario for my timeline would need the deadline extended to Wednesday I think, but I'll try and have it in sooner.
-
Knocking the guy for having one mace and 3 other bladed weapons, shame! Also, my entry might be right on the deadline, but it's coming together, hopefully Sunday at the latest (I'll be gone much of Saturday...)
-
Voted!
-
Throwing in some thoughts and ideas I've had from reading over the past few posts. Playing into the "creatures/things from other planes ending up here" idea, you could play into the Blind Eternities idea some more. While in the story the most anyth…

Elp fluttered into the air in joy. She had been extremely nervous after her performance in the last match, but with a little practice and Karyel's help she felt more comfortable on a horse going into the joust. Part of her was a bit disappointed by …
-
Still planning on doing it, just been splitting my attention.
-
Regarding feedback, generally for an ongoing challenge like this I think public feedback is best, because it allows other contestants to see the strengths and weaknesses of other peoples designs and not only learn from their own mistakes, but others…
-
Not much to say right now for balance or anything (although I might not be looking super closely at the moment). Really happy with the minor edits/changes on the mechanics/wording, really cleans them up some and makes them a little more straight-fo…
-
Adding on to the bit about the prompts, there were times where I definitely thought we'd have one prompt that didn't show up, or didn't expect a prompt that did. Like one of our prompts was to name our main rival, but then we never had to make a car…
-
@TenebrisNemo Another quick question, are Origins style creature-to-planewalkers allowed, or strictly creatures? Not a huge deal if it's a no, just a thought I had.
-
I didn't specifically make this for the set, but I was excited to try out Twilight, so I figured I'd share the creation with you. I worked under the assumption that the card would remain colorless if it was cast using Twilight, which I think allows…
-
I'm preparing my champion(s), I think it's time I dust off a few of my old-school characters with a fresh coat of paint. A question based on this statement: So you have three options: 1. Fighter(s) + Fighter companion(s). 2. Fighter(s) + Non-fighte…

@KorandAngels you could also just upload a text doc onto something like dropbox. There are tons of sharable cloud storage options available. Or I think you have the option to just DM the story to Usaername and they would be able to work with it from…
