@Termite1 I like the distribution of the keywords except indestructible which is probably a bit much, I agree that it would be a nice reward at rare or mythic but we need to find a way to give a window of opportunity for the opponent to kill the Mas…

Here's a quick design space research on a different way of doing Storm where instead of caring about the spells that were cast before, you actually give bonuses to the other spells you cast afterward in the turn. P.S: You an disregard all f…

@Termite1 This is really useful in mapping the kind of effects that can go with Renaissance at common, thanks! For the cycle, it's becoming clearer that in order to diversify the effects I'm going to need at least one removal, one pump spell, and o…

@Termite1 Lover's Loss is a bit much for a common, it's basically a Cruel Revival. Kill the Critics is definitely a cool variation on the 2-mana uncommon conditional destroy spell, it could work though usually you want it to be a bit more difficult…

@Termite1 Those designs go quite well with the set, you really got the spirit of it! Here are more specific comments on each design: Prismatic Repulsion: It's a really interesting design, I like it a lot. I'm usually not keen on putting the Renais…

@Termite1 Hey! Both are fine (though it's always nice to have an illustration to project ourselves). Keep in mind that in any case the details might change as the cards are meant to be part of a bigger set skeleton. For instance, you could design a …

@brcien Hey! Well, I reached an interesting point. By polishing each archetype, I started to reach peak in complexity. I then realised that you should probably not care specifically about each draft archetype at common. That's uncommon's job. So I …

@Credius I did upload the previous version but I haven't uploaded this one yet. The issue is that uploaded on Untap.in takes a lot of time and at this stage the changes happen too quickly for me to keep everything updated all the time
-
@Faiths_Guide Ah yeah, if you look at Embereth Paladin it does go the other way.
-
@Faiths_Guide Thanks! Yes, Ink Predator is meant to be a Cat. The thing about Swirling Faerie and Valiant Missionary is super weird, I didn't even realised I changed wording halfway through O__O I actually like the Swirling Faerie wording better, …
-
@Faiths_Guide The mechanic is already very strong, being able to play lands from the top of the library felt like too much (also, I'm not sure this wording works at instant speed.) I like that lands are a blind spot with the mechanic where it's just…
-
@EnvyReaper So, to respect the colour pie, only white, black and green can really gain psylian life. They can gain psylian life the same way that they would gain regular life, just in smaller quantities. For instance, black can't just gain life as a…

@stormbreath Vengeance sounds a lot like Enrage, a priori. Thematically, I'm unsure how it fits in the Fate theme. Mechanically, Enrage does help break board stalls and gives an advantage to creatures in combat which is something the set lacks so fa…

@Lujikul Oh yeah it's totally supposed to sacrifice itself, thanks, good catch! (That'd be a fun common for sure wihtout the sacrifice XD)

Alright, here's the update on the set skeleton for commons, with the changes mentioned above. Here's the rough archetype grid I used: WU Control Flash (Playing during the opponent's turn yields you bonuses.) UB Combo Art Tribal (Abuse ETB synergi…
-
@stormbreath Note that adding Damocles to replace Fatebender wouldn't reduce the numbers of mechanics though. Damocles would also be a third "cost reduction" mechanic with Convoke and Miracle, so I'd keep only one and dump the others. The problem w…
-
Hey! Here is some feedback based on this first presentation: 1) Six non-evergreen keywords is a lot, it would make the set very complex. If you're making a set that's more aimed at Modern à la Modern Horizons, it could be ok though. But I'd conside…
-
@Faiths_Guide Thanks! Though honestly I'm really shooting in the dark which is why it's taking this long x) But I'd rather take this slowly and really get the feel of what building a set is like. At this point I think it's less about the final produ…
-
@MTG_Sappy @SteampunkDragon Yeap, it's still ongoing, though the iterations on the common set skeleton have been so fast that I failed to keep up with updating it as it goes on the thread to let everyone involve, my bad. Basically, I've waited for…
-
@bnew07 • Crusading Chevalier: To me a first striker that can get itself multiple +1/+1 counters might just be a concept for an uncommon actually. I think the solution is probably to switch the keyword to Vigilance, and put first strike on Village …
-
Ah, to finish my feedback, let me answer your questions from above: ___ In addition, here are some high level questions I have that I would love additional feedback on: 1) Is the Class Struggle theme enough to complement the Camelot setting alone? …
-
GREEN — - Centaur Courser: Good - Basilisk of Hoflet Hollow: I like the use ofbig creature + deathtouch in Green, it reminds me of Rhonas and it actually makes more sense than in Black I think. - Crusading Centaur: I'm glad you gave it only 3 tou…
-
BLACK — - Revenant of the Lists: A Vanilla 4/6 in Black is worth 6 mana (Minotaur Abomination) since it's also a slight bend. Black isn't really supposed to have big monsters unless you have a specific reason to add them in your set, like your high…
-
Here is a card-by-card and colour-by-colour little review so far: WHITE — - Yoked Ox: Works great with Chivalry. Considering all the white archetypes (Aggro Go Wide, Aggro Chivalry, Midrange quest which are often Saboteur triggers, and Midrange +…
-
I'm working on a review of the cards, but in the meantime I thought it would be fun to make a first try at a reminder token for Quest, if you're interested: It's still very rough of course, but it's one way to go with it. Another would be a ve…
-
@EnvyReaper I do think a 2-mana fog is a good idea at common because it could help protect your psylian life, especially in the GW archetype that's all about keeping your psyslian life, so it gives some new interesting utility to the spell. But this…
-
@EnvyReaper Looks like it could fit! =D We'll have a serious creative conversation later, once the cards start to change a bit less often, where we'll redistribute all the illustrations in the best way possible, decide on the creature grid etc. One…
-
@EnvyReaper Sure! Here's a link to the latest version of the design skeleton where I've been trying a slightly different set of archetypes: CLICK HERE. WU Control Classic (Removal, lifegain, counters, and card draw.) UB Midrange Art Blink (Have ma…
