@bowler218 Any of the color pieces can be hyper aggro if you decide to go that way. Mardu is probably the lowest-to-the-ground shard but you can build any of them however you want in terms of how aggressive it is. My Boros is very aggressive but w…

Here is an unofficial list of creature types arranged by abundance and sorted by color. http://www.smileylich.com/mtg/magocracy/Magocracy_C1.html

I'm at 82/83 cards; almost ready to submit for critiques and start revising. https://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Scott_Anderson/sets/49087

@Leaf_Juggernaut we still have room in Temur vs Orzhov if you want to try that instead. @Bowler218 I will gladly give it to you. So here is how we stand now: Naya v Dimir @DrakeGladis Grixis v Selesnya @Ranshi Esper v Gruul @Warrior…

@bowler218 that’s too bad, would you consider trying Mardu v. Simic?
-
Ohhhh thank you. I had that link too but I thought that was the bad one.
-
Yes seems likely
-
@ArchieTaylor that seems confusing because it grants a turn and then says to skip a turn. Incidentally thank you for looking at all my cards when I make them
-
I have my white and blue commons done. https://mtgcardsmith.com/account/sets/49087

We need four basic lands per color and zero Wastes. I don’t think Wastes will ever catch on, will it? Sure, people who want to make basic lands, go for it. I have a Mountain and an Island I would love to submit.
-
@Leaf_Juggernaut I was thinking about that too. I am torn. On one hand it would be realistic for about 15-20% of cards to be reprints. On the other hand, those are cards we can't design ourselves! I do think we should reprint some nice lands thoug…

@IzItTru No, I don't think we will. If this was a real paper set we would try to do it. As it is with ten cardsmiths and therefore ten different ideas, it would be prohibitively difficult. I do think "is it good in draft?" is a question we can ask …

*** UPDATED SPREADSHEET - PLEASE DOWNLOAD *** Here is the latest version of the 1,000 card set. ANAL-RETENTION ALERT: In order to get everyone 2 mythic slots, I have bumped the set to 1,002 cards; 1,000 that would come in boosters and 2 that would…
-
TO ALL: I've made a fairly small error on the card-color spreadsheet. I have put all the three-color faction cards at rare and all the two-color faction cards at uncommon. Please continue to make cards as you were before but tonight I will post a…

@bowler218 oh yes. Absolutely. Keep your cards unified as much or as little as you like, but obvs your themes will be stronger if you make your 1-colors like your multicolors.
-
With the advice of @potato13 I did knock out a number of cards that I had proposed (but not every card he nentioned.) I’m back down to about 60/83. I’ll update what is necessary as we go along. Have we decided on a set symbol? Should we choose s…
-
Father of Autumn should be rare. I have not made the change yet. Gloaming is in there by accident. Attacks and is not blocked is retired? That’s too bad. I think it’s a fair mechanic. At the moment I’m torn on flanking. It fits R/W very well. …
-
Thanks for your input.
-
I have 70 cards done. 13 more to go. The last ones are always the hardest.
-
@potato13 I am listening. To me drafting is fun. It's all I play when I do play paper magic! But since we can't actually draft this set, it wasn't something I was pushing for.
-
Can we get an option for white borders? Can we get an option for no expansion symbol?
-
Withdrawn

@Potato13 the idea of unified mechanics did come up before but each person did not want to give up his own idea of the right mechanics in order to have a more coherent set. I would also like to restrict the mechanics. It makes a set feel more like …
-
@Bowler218 et al, here are the hard numbers I have for now. This does not include the last few slots in any category, only the minimum number of cards that we would like you to make. If you want to make fewer, that's fine - there will be plenty of …

All true

A Cardsmith sent me a PM expressing frustration at the structure and how well or poorly we have explained it. This will help. I want to try to help everyone get up to speed on where we are now and how we got here so that folks can ask questions and…
-
What happens if I do this...? https://mtgcardsmith.com/account/sets/49087 Can you look at the set of cards I am considering here?
-
@Ranshi where do the original cards live? In the libraries of the creators?
-
@warriorcatinahat hm. Haven’t thought that part through. Since a nonpremium account holds only 750 cards total, what would folks think about 2 nonpremium accounts, each named after the block they hold, and the individual cards would have a line …

Sure. There’s no reason why she can’t hop over, except for apparently being dead. And that doesn’t stop everyone.
