@LordTachanka123 It's possible to have her Blue if we find a really flavourful ability for her and it happens to be blue, but the illustration we have hints more towards a black character, with red accents (it has a very ominous shadow on her face…

Since we're on the subject of illustrations, I've looked into potential famous paintings that could get their card in the set. Spoiler alert, it's pretty difficult to find good fits for most of them, and on top of that there are a lot of naked peopl…

@Scaccogaming No illustration is final at this point ^^ I agree the illustration of the cartographic balena looks a bit weird, but I figured it was worth trying it to see what were people's feelings were about this kind of illustrations. I do thin…
-
@Scaccogaming Beautiful illustrations, I'm sure we can find a spot for all of them ^^ That being said, the idea behind the legendary cycle would be to base it on existing artists or pieces of art. We've talked about quite a few artists (and other …

@GameQnQ Caustering Bolt: Yeah, I believe it's the kind of cards we need in this slot to allow Red to survive in an environment with a lot of life gain. The obvious issue though is that it's a bit too powerful, it's strictly better than Lightning …

BLACK — - Massive creature (e.g. Carrion Grub, Goremand) - Repeatable tokens (e.g. Bloodsoaked Altar, Liliana's Devotee) - Repeatable recursion (e.g. Eternal Taskmaster, Silversmote Ghoul) - Repeatable removal (e.g. Bog Naughty, Chittering Harveste…

@Scaccogaming Magmatic Rebuke: This is a bit hard to play as a four-mana card that does nothing if your opponent doesn't play specifically a life gain deck. This kind of very narrow hate effects is probably best attached to a more universally usef…
-
GameQnQ Mock the Divine: I like the concept of putting the no-life effect on a damage spell because Red will be at a disadvantage in this set due to the higher than normal life gain, so it needs some really strong staples. We'll have to see for the…

@Scaccogaming About the Uncommon muses: For the exciting cycle, I'd really favour artists or their art if possible because it's more on theme. The muse idea is supposed to be like the cherry on top of the cake, it goes well with the cake but it's …
-
@Faiths_Guide I think the concept of saving the discovered cards for later if you can't cast them is interesting but this wording specifically sounds a bit weird to me as it's proposing you to cast a card on top of an ability that is already propo…
-
Here's a first draft for the uncommons. Because there is so much more flexibility at uncommon than common, think of it more like a checklist. I put every basic thing we need in there in almost any set, but we might need some items more than once (fo…
-
@Scaccogaming Sorry! I probably wasn't clear enough on how this works, so let me explain so you feel less baffled. At this stage, we're still brainstorming, which means we're trying to find good concepts that naturally fit. If a concept isn't a go…
-
@Faiths_Guide Ah thanks, I genuinely wasn't sure ^^ It's because it happens as you discover (you cast the spell in between the resolution of the ability) so I got confused by how you'd say that in English xD ___ Oh, I forgot on top of the cards …
-
@Scaccogaming We'll see on playtest but, from my experience at common, Renaissance is actually pretty difficult to trigger ^^ For the cards that check for a certain amount of serran life, I'm not sure yet. From the threshold 1 cards at common, I f…
-
Before I start with the skeleton, here is a summary of the cards I'd want to add first in the set (there are other cards that were proposed that are perfectly fine, but I want to prioritise the high synergy ones before adding cards that can be in an…
-
@Scaccogaming Confident Sailors: Yeah, now that you mention it, 2-mana cost reduction is probably a bit much, especially since they stack with each other! x) Audacious Sparklage: Trample comes from the red! ^^ Careless Experimenter: UR doesn't n…
-
@LordTachanka123 At uncommon, it's probably better to allow to sacrifice any creature but give a bonus if it's an Art, especially because there's not way that card would compare favorably with just a Thud that's already one mana and works with any …
-
@LordTachanka123 No, just losing two life wouldn't make it uncommon (it's actually the opposite because it would kill you pretty fast, it's the type of things you'd find at higher rarity because they require more careful deck building). It really …
-
I'm finding hard to find an identity for the BG archetype as a reanimation deck because there aren't that many reanimation spells you can put in a set to begin with (I do love that they made a reanimating common in M21 by the way, that's amazing). I…
-
@CassZero Harmonious Restoration: You're not wrong, it's probably a bit much for uncommon actually ^^ I do find it hard to make this theme work, I'll propose something different later for BG. Destroy to Intimidate: That card doesn't do anything if…
-
LordTachanka123 Princess of Art: Still not a fan of the "Whenever you cast a creature spell with converted mana cost 3 or less" trigger, I think it'd be stepping on the toes of the RW power 2 or less tribal gameplay wise. Church's Retribution: Tha…
-
@LordTachanka123 Princess of Art: The way it triggers doesn't feel like it's synergising with anything in particular really, it's pretty random, and it steps on the toes of the RW archetype a little so I'm not a fan. Toughness Fling: The idea to …
-
@LordTachanka123 Travelling Troupe: The bounce trigger is probably too close to just "Whenever you cast a creature spell" to lead to good gameplay, I think. Tragedy Mask and Comedy Mask: I really like the idea of having a pair of them! I'm les…
-
@LordTachanka123 The black card you were talking about doesn't show up on my screen I'm afraid. Fated Dinner: If we find the right illustration for it, the Last Supper might actually be a good Art creature, especially as part of a cycle. The 12 c…
-
@LordTachanka123 Wow this is some gorgeous illustration, it's 100% ending in the set, thanks! ^^ I'm going to sift through this artist's collection
-
@LordTachanka123 Yeah, I'd like to have a stronger version of firebreathing at uncommon, but I don't know what would be synergising with Masterwork? I had this concept for a red enchantment that would go with tokens, but I don't know if that's re…
-
Here's my entry: I took the regular blue bounce ability and transformed it into something completely new: it either prevents your opponent from putting any creature onto the battlefield this turn (this is particularly effective against cards t…
-
@Scaccogaming Faifthful Mossbark: I'd be happy with it as a monoGreen card, there's no reason to push into the multicoloured slot ^^ @LordTachanka123 Song of beauty: It's better balance wise but the same issues with the renewal ability feeling …
-
@LordTachanka123 Serra's Strength: An original concept if we need a creature-based lifegain spell at some point ^^ Actor's Passion: At least now it's easier to track ^^ That being said if your design needs this kind of counters to be able to work…
-
@LordTachanka123 Ok, so no keywords are needed ^^ That answers my question, thanks!
