CassZero Oh yeah that's weird >.< I fixed it, it should work now, thanks for the heads-up
-
Here's my entry! You know how black creatures sacrifice other creatures to make themselves stronger? Well white creatures usually do the opposite and sacrifice themselves to help others. I wanted to create a planeswalker that emphasised this concep…

@LordTachanka123 Yeah my involvement in this thread is directly proportional to how much I struggle with writing my thesis xD Yesterday was a baaaaaaaaaad day, let me tell you >.< @shadow123 Golden Envoy: I really like the discard version…
-
@Scaccogaming I don't know about Unison, it makes me think of creatures coming together which sounds more fitting for a Boros-style mechanic than what's happening here. We could explore other flavours than Renaissance for this mechanic, but I'm no…
-
@shadow123 I'm starting to think that the "whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on it" creature of the set might want to be monowhite actually, because the green-white deck will also want to pick it up (and it's a very fun effect we should t…
-
@Faiths_Guide I feel like Renewal is borderline itself on creating expectation for a reanimating mechanic, so synonyms might not solve the issue. Reform and Reformation sound very much like you're re-assembling a dead creature, for instance. I'd …
-
Here's an uncommon based on @LyndonF's original idea which was: Serran Bugler 4W Creature Vigilance When CARDNAME etbs, look at the top four cards of your library. You may reveal any number of creature cards with total power 4 or less from among …
-
@MTG_Sappy I'm still not sure I understand how the Masterwork mechanic interacts with this. A priori, I think it's weird because it creates a nonbo with all the other cards with that mechanic so it sounds that it would be better to do this without…
-
@MTG_Sappy You have to choose a creature YOU control when a permanent with Masterwork enters the battlefield under your control. You could theoretically make a card that specifically says you can choose a creature you don't control but that would …
-
@Scaccogaming Ooh I like the disease thing, I'm into that, it brings quite some depths to the situation. ___ Here are some tries at a new name for the Renaissance mechanic: * Second Breath * Fresh Start * New Era * Golden Age * Golden Dawn * Ne…
-
@Lujikul Oh, I like the one where she was a human turned into Art, that could be a cool secret.
-
@shadow123 I'd avoid Ajani's Pridemate-like creatures with lifelink, it's a bit too strong and it's funnier when you have to work for it a little ^^ For Celestial Diplomat, I really like the core concept but we should keep that for a rare or eve…
-
@Scaccogaming Oh she's definitely Dimir-coloured philosophically ^^ But I don't feel we need a faction behind her. What I meant by "we don't need to re-invent House Dimir" is that we don't need an organisation under her with spies, assassins, a hi…
-
@MTG_Sappy Hello! Just popping up to confirm that Temur is meant to be the strongest Masterwork combination ^^ The idea is that it synergises better with the growth theme in Temur. You'll notice there is a five-colour cycle of commons that give a …
-
About Mona Lisa, I don't mind having her as a typical villain as long as we nail the secret part of her. It'd be cool to have an original kind of villain, but I don't want to force that and miss the opportunity for a great evil character when if we …
-
I'm still not sold on the followers thing by the way, do we have any cool depiction of them? I wouldn't want to re-invent House Dimir by accident xD I feel like she can be badass by herself, manipulating the right people.
-
@SteampunkDragon Ah yes, I actually put this one on the side purposefully because I think it could look great as a sorcery/instant card as well, if we saved it that would let us make another story card picturing Vraska on top of the Vraska card it…
-
@MTG_Sappy The ally-coloured archetypes are based on the common themes so they should stay relatively stable. The enemy-coloured ones could become literally anything at this stage, this will depend on playtests ^^ @IzItTru Nothing is set in sto…
-
@Faiths_Guide Ooh I never saw those illustrations before, they're really nice! Here's a mock-up to get a sense of the illustration on a planeswalker card. I'm into it ^^ Also, I got a folder full of planeswalker mock-ups for the set. I found …
-
Yeah we definitely toyed with the idea of Vraska as a planeswalker ^^ That's because she's kind of a perfect fit colour-wise if we have Serra in White and we make Da Vinci Izzet. Also, Gorgons are a thing on Rezatta and they are tied to statues x) W…
-
@Faiths_Guide About Dack Fayden: It's a bit of a hard sell because 1) He's supposed to have died during the events of War of the Spark (though I'd personally be okay to pretend the War of the Spark novel never existed) 2) His colour identity (blue…
-
@Faiths_Guide @SteampunkDragon For renaming Renaissance, one of the difficulties is that I don't want people to see the ability word and expect a reanimation mechanic or something x) That's why I'd prefer Renewal than Rebirth I think, it conveys be…
-
@The-DM Oh, the theme is a valid example, but we need to execute them thinking there is less support for them in the set that, for instance, Art tribal. "3W: Put a +1/+1counter on target Angel or Cleric" is still Angel/Cleric tribal! Just, a versi…
-
@The-DM Yeap, Serra gets a planeswalker card, to mimick the one she got in Modern Horizons: @Scaccogaming Protection from Art is a bit too niche yeah, it can be a flavourful bonus on a card that does something else that's relevant, but just t…
-
@Ral1000 Yeap you're totally right on the one-mana free spells that gain you 2 or more serran life, they are meant to be scarce and be scaled accordingly. Basically, there is one such spell that I purposefully added in the file at common, it's in …
-
For the UBG Art tribal theme, I got two very simple cards that I think would be great because they can be picked up by virtually any deck in their colours, but get additional value when played in an Art deck: 1) For the mandatory black reanimation …
-
@SpellPiper2213 @Scaccogaming I like the concept! I think there are ways to make it less parasitic (so it works with other MTG sets that don't have discover) and I believe copying spells repeatedly like this is probably rare/mythic material rather…
-
Here's my entry (it's a double-faced card): Link: Willia by Day Link: Tacenda by Night Willia and Tacenda are twins from the MTG novel "Children of the Nameless" (it's the same novel where the planeswalker Davriel first appeared as well). Both…
-
@SpellPiper2213 Absolutely, everyone is welcome ^^
-
And now, to start things right up, here are a few cards I was thinking of adding: 1) At commons, I added the card Museum Thief with the idea of making a vertical cycle of cards in black that hates on creatures whose power and toughness aren't equal…
