@The-DM About Claudio Davinti: - The three colours are a bit much in a set that's not multicolour-centric, it would make it very niche. - I like that the word Art is appearing on the card as it's pretty flavourful, however it would be ok if he wa…
-
Here are some illustrations I have, to see if the dance idea would be a full cycle (some of those illustrations I've used for the commons but they can be repurposed, the names and illustrations of the commons are still placeholders at this point): …

@LordTachanka123 Technically a supertype would appear at the beginning of the type line of cards, some examples are legendary, basic and tribal Oaths and ultimatums are not card types or supertypes, they're recognisable cycles ^^ A cycle of danc…
-
@The-DM I use the term "snowball" — which is absolutely not something official, mind you xD — to represent a play pattern where your spells are going to produce more ressources than you spend to cast them. Some example of that are spellslingers ar…

@The-DM That Eco card is interesting though I'm a little afraid you would mix the tune counters with regular +1/+1 counters. I'm not sure they're different enough from +1/+1 counters that they justify using a different type of counters. The card c…

@LordTachanka123 About Renaissance: I definitely don't want to keep the word "Renaissance" as the name of the mechanic, though technically it's the same name in English as in French when it designates the era x) The idea would be to find a made-u…

GREEN — COLORLESS —

BLACK — RED —

Alright, here is the list of all commons right now as a summary of all the changes since the last iteration! WHITE — BLUE —
-
@LordTachanka123 Usually Red gets most of the emotional and artistic cards, but because it's a major theme in the set we're going to amp it up so, absolutely, Red gets dancing and any other colour is allowed to get artistic and emotional expression…
-
@LordTachanka123 I think the green land removal and the big artifact creature were the last ones! I'll post a version of the full set of corrected commons later ^^ I'm still considering pushing Breathing Waltz to 4-mana and switch it with somethin…
-
@The-DM Don't worry, you can use any other art you like and you can post text-only cards. It's just for the concepts at this stage, the cards won't go directly into the set, we need to know more about what it needs, the planeswalkers is one of the…
-
@LordTachanka123 No, I don't play any instrument sadly, that was about the extent of my musical knowledge xD GWB would work ^^ It's a bit hard on the mana though for a set that doesn't have a multicolour theme, it would make her a very niche pl…
-
LordTachanka123 Beautiful art, yeah it could totally work as a Serra illustration I suppose! ^^ @The-DM I definitely had to google that XD But yes, Sprechstimme is exactly the kind of thing she would use to communicate, though don't think imitatin…
-
@LordTachanka123 Niccolo Machiavelli is the author of the book "The Prince", a very famous political book that was considered particularly unethical, and frankly evil xD He gave us the word "Macchiavellian", in other words he could very easily b…
-
@The-DM Sure, if you can find a cool design for any character, we'll gladly use it! ^^ Any character inspired by the Italian/European Renaissance era is fair game, but more specifically we could really use a card for some of those characters: - Any…
-
The-DM About the story, it's very fuzzy. We talked about it a lot at some point but haven't figured out what is the main drive of the story yet. Among the things we know, there's a character that stayed through all iterations who's a mute girl that …
-
@LordTachanka123 Ah yeah, Loving Bear x) For those of you (a.k.a. 99.9% of people) who don't remember the card from like, one year ago, here it is: The problem was that there was a bad interaction with this kind of cards where: 1) Let's say yo…
-
@LordTachanka123 Double strike is probably a little much for a common colorless card ^^ That can get surprisingly powerful with any kind of pump effect. I'm more in the market for something that can fill any deck that's a bit light on end-curve cre…
-
@LordTachanka123 Yeah it's not really common, that's more rare or mythic material ^^ That's because land destruction can be very obnoxious to play against so you want to make sure you can't destroy lands repeatedly at common. In addition, the drawb…
-
@Lujikul Sure! So far what we know about them is that they're embodiment of different emotions and that they inspire some artists and other kind of creators. They could be central to the story or they could be a background thing. However, since we …
-
LyndonF Yeap, I think I'm going to lean into the Art creature one instead. On top of keeping complexity lower, it also has the upside of being a desirable recursion target for the Art tribal archetype in the other colours: Yeah, I definitely wa…
-
@MonkeyPirate2002 It's a try at making it more branded! Psylian life was a pun on phyrexian mana because mechanically it was derived from it, but I wanted to have a name that meant something to that world. Since the Church of Serra embodied really …
-
Aggroman15 Triggerring Renaissance is pretty difficult so I'm trying to make the bonus universally good. That means I'd like to avoid sideboard-style effects on Renaissance triggers as much as possible. LordTachanka123 The time in Nice: Lol, it w…
-
@Aggroman15 It's actually a good idea, that's the spirit of what the solution would require. In this specific case though it's not an option because the green enchantment is already an artifact removal: It's the main difficulty with making…
-
@Aggroman15 My main problem is actually finding a slot to put it There are plenty of cool artifact removal spells we could try, but what red card do I remove for it? All of them already fill a role that would need to be replaced if I removed it so …
-
On top of those four cards, I made a series of small adjustments to various colours: I increased the cost of Underwater Guide's ability by one because I realised I was uncomfortable with having your two biggest creatures unblockable every turn …
-
@MonkeyPirate2002 Ooh, exciting! You went all the way to three colours? I've been pretty happy with this archetype so far, the emphasis on protecting your life total at all cost regardless of how high it is reminds me a bit of the Monarch mechanic,…
-
@MiloMindbender I love the idea of your mechanic ^^ Technically, you can always tap out and let the mana go away so it's never hard to do, but there's a really intriguing idea about pushing players to let their shields down. If I may, the phrasing …

Ah, the chiaroscuro? I'd argue that that Da Vinci's Mona Lisa is the most famous example of the use of chiaroscuro to represent that for a wide audience ^^ But he's totally in the range for a deep cut in the set. I was thinking it would be interesti…
