We definitely could go just a touch of steampunk with the Science theme ^^ I've looked for illustrations and it's a bit difficult to find something that would fit on a card though. Still, there's this reprint at common that I used as a nod to Da V…
-
@shadow123 Yeap, Elated is still in the set. It was surprisingly hard to find good illustrations on the theme of emotions though, so the theme was dumped and the name with it. We just call the mechanic"Renaissance" for now, though I'm still looking…
-
P.S: Three more fleshed out designs that seem like good fit based on that: RW Avatar of the Chariot Legendary Creature - Avatar 2/2 As Avatar of the Chariot enters the battlefield, choose Upright or Reversed. • Upright — Creatures you control have …
-
Here's a quick list of random mechanical ideas I associate with each card when reading them (I'm free-rolling, it's far from exhaustive, obviously): 0 - The Fool - Upright: Innocence, freedom = positive random effects (choosing something randomly,…
-
@Scaccogaming Once you've settled on the form of your cycle (in this case, a legendary Avatar creature with two different abilities, upright or reversed) my best advice would be not to do them one by one but work on the whole cycle: 1) For each car…

@LordTachanka123 I think so, I don't have any specific plans for demons (they might actually be replaced by the black Angels depending on what we do with them) but they're a really rich vein of beautiful illustrations, we've got to use what is at o…
-
shadow123 @LordTachanka123 Yeaaaah you're right it's a bit much xD I don't want to make it so expensive that it's unplayable, I'll just change the concept ^^ @LordTachanka123 No, any humanoid race is fair game. Because we can't commission our own…
-
Random opinion needed, do you think this is too strong for common? (Haven't playtested it yet and having a hard time evaluating it a priori): EDIT: Here are some similar cards for reference:
-
LordTachanka123 To represent the Rebirth of Serra, we need to get a good idea for how it actually happens in the plot, but it would definitely get a card depicting it, similar to "The Elder Spell" in War of the Spark for instance: I'm not super…
-
@LordTachanka123 For the collective, I believe the Church of Serra has multiple branches and not all of them have the same organisation, so we're free to create a new version of the Church of Serra with its own hierarchy. But yes, having one white,…
-
Hello! Here are my two cents: From a MTG perspective, I think your mechanic could work with the same technology as the Siege cycle from Fate Reforged: It would go a bit like this: Foretelling (As this enters the battlefield, choose Upright or R…
-
LordTachanka123 Don't worry, it's just that "psylian life" was a code name I invented based on "phyrexian mana" (it's kind of the mirror mechanic) but I wanted something a bit more flavourful for the set. After talking about how the pillars of the …
-
@LordTachanka123 Yeap, Angels are part of the plan, they should be a bit more prevalent than in other sets as there's a whole theme about the Church of Serra, but mechanically they shouldn't be anything major, similar to how they're handled on Inni…
-
@LordTachanka123 Nope, we haven't really talked about fencing much, is it something you associate with Renaissance? We could totally make a few cards about it ^^ Brave Duelist is a bit much for a common, the combination of first strike and lifelin…
-
EDIT: I added the legendary frame I forgot earlier. Ok, I've got a weird one: I'm not 100% sure how it would work to be perfectly honest XD But here's my understanding of what happens if you play this card: 1) Cards don't have names means tha…
-
IzItTru Oh yeah good catch! That's a typo ^^
-
Also, random note but since we're talking about flyiers, it made me think of a design I made not long ago while thinking of cool ways to use life in the set. If you have ideas about stuff that would be cool and especially relevant in a life-matters …
-
Lujikul Yeap, reprints are an option ^^ Though I want to use them scarcely, it's a custom set so people are kind of expecting more of the original stuff. I started with one reprint per colour but two disappeared during the iterations, currently we'…
-
Ok, I'm getting another pass at the noncreature Green cards. Here are the requirements: • 5 instant/sorceries (I put Restore Beauty in the mixer as well) • Two or three pump spells • A fight spell • A discover spell • A card caring about having even…
-
TheCenterOfTheUniverse Ah dammit, you're right! This noncreature discover spell is really giving me a hard time xD
-
Quick question, do you thing this is too close to unconditional removal for Green? I tried different way of doing the fight spell in Green, but I really liked the idea of having a potential creature of pump spell on top of the library that could…
-
SteampunkDragon I'm not entirely sure because it's been part of Black's colour pie for only one set and a half but, if I understand correctly, WOTC's intention is that it's supposed to be a staple effect in every set, not just because of Theros' en…
-
Alright, here's a try at filling the holes in Black: SLOTS AVAILABLE: • 1 creature with CMC = 1 (not too agressive, preferably) • 2 instants/sorceries (no CMC restriction) EFFECTS TO COVER: • Needs a sacrifice enabler. • Needs an agressive creatu…
-
@KingWatherton Hi! Unfortunately you can't make level up cards on MTGCardsmith I suggest using Magic Set Editor, or asking if it's ok to post a mock-up version ^^ P.S: Also, the contest is almost four months-old, it might be abandoned I'm afraid.
-
Here's a rules head-scratcher! xD This reverses lifelink but only for points of damage assigned to creatures. Moreover, because it also has trample, it can assign some of the remaining damage to the attacked player causing it to gain and lose life a…
-
Ok, for the green creatures, I've been trying to find the right combination of effects but the only satisfying way I could find to care about Art entering the battlefield was the "Whenever an Art enters the battlefield under your control, CARDNAME g…
-
P.S: Ooops I was editing the first message, didn't realise you already answered xD Yeah I realised this afterwards which is why I tried to change it xD
-
Here's a try at the reminder text: Barricade (You and permanents you control can't be attacked unless they have barricade.) With a batching word: Barricade (Your entities without barricade can't be attacked. Players, planeswalkers and structures …
-
Hello! First, I don't know if you heard about it but the idea of buildings that you can attack was pitched by Richard Garfield himself for original Ravnica! They were called structures and eventually gave birth to the planeswalker card type. Yo…
-
@Aggroman15 Nature's Gift: It seems more reasonable ^^ I'll still continue to explore this a bit because it feels more like a downgrade if your life total is odd than an upgrade if your life total is even. Wild Visionary: That's more in line with…
