    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    I considered lifelink but felt like deathtouch does such a good job of keeping this relevant for longer in the game and makes it a better Ninjutsu enabler. Lifelink probably makes more sense, though. Is this me stealing their card? Like draining their life force for my own? If so, I really like...

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    Perfect. That's the goal! Grass Flyers Let's take a look at some more flyers. Maybe comparisons between the flyers will lead to some development. Some hate bears. Their poison powder makes it difficult to function. Not sure on these designs. Open to input. It's difficult to design even more...

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    I just spent a shitload of time reworking MSE code and troubleshooting and I'm exhausted from that. Finishing up with the behind the scenes bullshit now and will post more cards later.

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    I thought about this, but that's really imbalanced, similar to protection. Color vs color hate should also be slight, as it's very luck based. There's also the issue of this color pie being imbalanced as well as colors containing a variety of types (poison grass bug flying are all in Grass)...

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    Normal Flyers Yep! Here's the mostly kind of boring flyers. Pidgey has to be very weak and has to have flying, but 1/1 flyers for 1 is super boring, so it costs 0. Ok, Farfetch'd is a pretty cool 2/1 for 2 and I halfway stole that one from something I saw online. Doduo and Spearow I'm kind...

    Recruiter of the Pack - 1W Creature - Human Soldier ETB Booster Tutor but only creatures. 1/1 I really enjoy Booster Tutor and it probably has a ton of sweet targets here, but it might be too imprecise.

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    Electric Intro Here's all the Electric Pokemon that aren't part of another cycle, such as the legendary birds. Imagine the Electric spells section is a typical blue spells section and you're 90% of the way there. I need to resize some of the art eventually. I knew I wanted these to self...

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    It's a 5/4. It kind of has to be to fit the rock-paper-scissors setup I'm going for with the RBY starters. It's possible I'm trying to do too much with that here. Maybe Ivy and Venu should get trample? Decently strong fair cube, but some of the cards necessitate being higher power level than...

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Set Rolling out the custom set spoiler-style. A few cards at a time to critique and discuss. Showing some introductory cards now to give a feel for the format up front and then I intend to post like 3-10 cards every 1-3 days, depending how much discussion on the...

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    Starters Just like in the games, I began with the starter Pokemon. Bulbasaur was first. A very pushed one drop, but we tolerate Nacatl. Ivysaur maintains the over statted body. Venusaur's ability represents Solar Beam, one of its signature moves which requires a turn to charge. I went with an...

    Pokémon: the Gathering - A Custom Cube

    TL;DR: It's a Pokemon themed custom cube. Intro I, of course, Googled this before starting the project to get some ideas and see if it could work. The main issue I saw was that like half of the Pokemon don't fit into MtG colors. I saw Abra and Electrode in white. Geodude and Gengar sharing...

    Sets (NEO) Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Previews

    The fact it's an artifact makes the art style much more palatable on this one, for me. The Saga Dragon has no rarity symbol on the back?

    Humility Reanimate - W Sorcery or Instant Reanimate a guy from your yard, except it's a 1/1. Or the same thing but as a mass reanimate for some more mana, but that gets a little annoying having to remember or mark a bunch of creatures as 1/1. To go with white reanimate, you could add some...

    Wording? Is that first effect worded correctly as a conditional cast trigger? Want a bigger payoff for hitting the synergy.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I think Portal Priest is pretty weak. Elvish Piper sucks. Avacyn's Altar is a pretty white way of getting Nat Order, but is potentially risky if you're running some of the elite white creatures like Elesh or Iona or Serra's Emissary. I think it steps on green's toes a bit much, but I also think...

    Not So Secret Project...

    I don't have a particular card in mind right now, but if you wanted to dig into some sort of black-centric archetype, I'd be listening. Ideally something that makes a Bxx colored deck and can pivot throughout the other colors. The thread about favorite cards you don't run could be a good place...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I replaced the MtG symbols with Pokemon symbols in MSE. Custom cube. I have it mostly done (v1.0) except for the lands, which will mainly be an issue of finding good art. I have no idea how to play Pokemon. A friend said he didn't like it. I just think they're cool. Grew up with gen 1.
