If something like that becomes a problem, I can make additions to the Modern Banlist for this league, at least in the early stages. Hopefully, that won't be too much of a problem.
-
@ostewart Spreading the word is always welcome!
-
@ostewart I have been thinking on how to incorporate custom cards into the league, and I think that, at least starting out, custom cards will be awarded as prizes to the lead players each cycle. Thank's for joining, too! We'll need probably one more…

I'll evaluate each of the abilities for you @sanjaya666. 1st ability: What do? You're allowed to play as many sorceries as you want on your turn, assuming you have enough mana. If you want to make a spell free, you'll need to say "At the beginning o…

Corwinnn's right. You don't have to pay any real world currency; you have to "pay" pack points to generate new packs (from a site called mtgen, google it). Pack points are gained through participation/victory, and there's no way to actually buy them…
-
The honesty problem would be solved by requiring packs to be posted on a public document, using mtgen's export to text function, since it provides a link to the page of the pack. Dishonesty would also result in immediate disqualification from the cu…

@Lujikul I would hope that people would be interested in doing creative deck building to avoid that, but if it ends up becoming a problem, I have some ideas how to solve it. (I mean, come on guys, you can use any card that isn't banned in the Modern…

Oops. Sorry about that Domri!
-
@Lujikul A small problem with Argentum: it's the original name for Mirrodin, and what the Mirrans end up calling Karn.
-
@KJMartin That's why I said you have to treat them as artifacts or colorless spells (a spell that deals damage would have to be similar to Razortail Whip). Essentially, you have to treat them as though a player will always pay life (which most will…
-
@Faiths_Guide I would also say that phyrexian mana actually wasn't broken - it was its implementation that made it broken. Development treated cards with phyrexian mana as normal colored cards, where they should have treated them as artifacts or car…
-
@Faiths_Guide Alright. I actually completely forgot that flash was in green (I'm used to using it in blue and white), and completely skipped over the color of the tokens. My only concern with Tetracoil is that assuming you have only 4-ofs in a deck,…

Alright, here is the judging! Cards are ranked from 1 to 5, with 1 being the best. There isn't any placing yet, I'll get to that tomorrow, but this a general indication of how you did during this round. If I missed you, or there was an error in my j…
-
Alright! Round 2 is closed for judging! Check back soon for the results. (And by soon, I mean 1 to 2 days.)
-
Oops. I got a bit distracted, so here's a 24 hour warning for all those entered, and those who want to enter. Tomorrow, I'll start judging. Be prepared!

@ShadowKnight1224 @KJMartin Fade is designed for a set that has a new negative counter (called wane counters, long explanation), and is primarily a way for white to get rid of counters easier. That, and ETB triggers. Also, reminder text does get a …
-
Ooh! I just remembered this ability! Fade [cost] ([cost]: Exile this or return it to the battlefield [from exile] tapped. Fade only as a sorcery.) A couple notes: I have considered removing the "Fade only as a sorcery clause", and the part of the re…
-
I can make it MTGCS, if it really matters.
-
@mtgwizard9003 Note: I have changed flanking to have the following reminder text: "(Whenever a creature blocks this creature, the blocking creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.)" Next: A card about a cannon MTG event or thing that doesn't have on…
-
So, @KJMartin, let me see if I'm understanding you right. You're saying that there's no way for me to do a planeswalker matter theme, despite having several very good methods for doing so? That sounds like more of an opinion than a fact. Not to ment…
-
Another bump here, as well as a notice: Enter the Fray Round 2 will close for judging on January 1st. No more submissions or edits will be allowed from that point forwards, and the judging will take about one and a half weeks. After that, results wi…
-
Hey everyone, small update! I've started a Discord server up for this, and you'll notice a new reward on the OP: "Join the Ranks". This reward will be applied retroactively, so check to see if you made the cut according to it's criteria last round. …
-
If you don't mind me saying, I've got a couple ideas that may help: Disorder There are some pretty simple ways to convey disorder through cards, one of which is a pseudo-random mechanic. (Note: "pseudo" is the key word here. Random mechanics are goo…

1. Gonna pass on this one 2. Lito (No, not Spanish) 3. A long, long time ago, "touchstone" was a word I found that I really liked. It's stuck as a username for a while, but now I've come to favor the name Vunik (long story). 4. Honestly, @everyone f…
-
@Tomble123 Not for about another week or two. And yes, you can have separate post for each faction.
-
@ShadowKnight1224 1. Unfortunately, complexity is almost invariably connected to power level. The more complex a card is, the more powerful it will be, 99% of the time. Even cards with "keyword soup" (like Akroma) are complex, just from the nature o…
-
@ShadowKnight1224 While that is a possibility, it doesn't change the fact that you've made planeswalkers less rare, and thus, need to compensate power level for that. By altering rarities (since nothing says a planeswalker can't be printed at a lowe…
-
@KimJongMartin Trust me, I'm attacking the problem of Planeswalkers. I'm working on some set skeletons and files, at least two of which pull planeswalkers down into uncommon (but only a single cycle). Planeswalker tribal isn't something that WotC wo…
-
Not coincidental. I often use words from other languages as names, but normally with some alterations. Starovek was one of the ones I didn't really change.
-
I suppose that I should tell you that WotC has come out and shot down the idea of Atlazan being an actual plane. It was simply for the survey, and not indicative of future products.
