    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    Motion to include white card advantage in the set! Veteran Steelshaper {2}{w} Creature - Human Soldier (U) When Veteran Steelshaper enters the battlefield, you may search your library for an equipment card, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library. 2/2 More...

    No, I didn't mean run all three Bolas's (there's five by the way), I meant run the Bolas of your choice plus Cruel Ultimatum plus Kess :)

    Ok, I'm on board with this theme. Some exciting designs. The legendary is super cool, would it be too OP to change it to "equipped creatures you control are indestructible"? I think a lot of the numbers are off. * +0/+2 seems too much for the common. * Heated Blade costs a whopping 6 mana for...

    Cruel Ultimatum Kess, Dissident Mage Run all three (I prefer the original Bolas, but ymmv).

    Use three color decks in this case, I would say ;)

    We've got 3 different token mechanics so far. I think we need to make some choices. Scrolls (instant and sorcery tokens/emblems) Swarm (token copies of creatures) Mobilize (equipment tokens) NB1: Amonkhet had 26 tokens! We know we can print a set with a lot of different tokens and still make...

    I think it's easier to balance around the stats not changing. Making your card worse by taming it sounds like an awful play experience, so I wouldn't touch the -1/-1 counter with a 10 foot pole. Making it better could be a suitable reward, but, again, hard to balance. Like, that Fledgling...

    Actually, I can think of an improvement! Tame X (Tap any number of non-beast creatures with total power X or greater: Put a tame counter on this creature. Tame only as a sorcery and only if this creature has no tame counter on it.) That second only should definitely be there. Taking a page...

    Yeah, we can do the "wild" supertype if we find we want to refer to "wild" cards. As in, an enchantment with "wild creatures get +1/+1 and have trample", for example. As worded right now, if we want that effect we need to spell out "creatures with tame (without a tame counter on them) ..."...

    The keyword should be Tame X, not Untamed X. Otherwise you can't say "tame only as a sorcery", plus you then get to refer to "taming" on other cards. Other than that I believe you have found the correct reminder text. Can't really think of a way to further improve it at the moment. I think a...

    Hey there, welcome long-time lurker! ;) Cool to see you contribute, but... (sorry for the but, I really am, don't let this discourage you!) Counters on lands are actually really annoying to play with, ever played a deck with multiple vivids and Gemstone Mine? I have, and it's a logistical...

    Yeah, that's my problem with it for cube. In the end it's just an edict effect for their largest threat that deals some additional damage to the face. I.e., in the end it's just a removal spell, simply not that exciting for a three color card.

    I love it in multiplayer, it's very decent in 1v1, but I don't think it's a card that would pull me into three colors.

    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    Huh. That could either be really cool or play really annoying because your opponent has a billion Bone Saws. Hard to judge!

    A guaranteed common fixing land in the 14th common slot goes a long way. Cycling also helps, especially if it's colorless.

    None of those color pairs are in my cube anymore. I don't remember how Null Farm and Undying Court ended up playing, but I distinctly remember Mutagen Vent being awesome for people. Someone won a draft with an UG evolve deck and that land back in 2014. It's comparable to Gavony Township in the...

    Thanks for the link sigh, we probably should set up a Google drive-document (or something) for that once we're past the initial brainstorm phase and ready for filling out the set, so we can cooperate on that.

    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    The question I asked myself was: "Do you want your tamed beasts to be able to help taming untamed beasts?" For me the answer was yes, because I think it plays better that way. That's another reason I went with non-untamed. So, anyway... time to put my money where my mouth is! I tweaked the...

    When I tried to include monarch cards, multiple players in my group objected after experiencing it in Conspiracy and in chaos drafts. I still don't get quite why, but according to them the mechanic plays really poorly in 1 vs 1, that is to say, it's unbalancing. I opted to not try them out then...
