    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    The suggestion about cutting the awkward part of the wording was not for cards with Primal as you have designed them for now. They where for the activation ability only. The WWUUBBRRGG will not be a fun build-around card. It will sadly just sit in the hand and never be cast. You will eventually...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Well okay if you want Primal as a tool to help shake up the meta and skew it a little more towards Basic land builds, then you need to cut the dead flesh. You cannot make a WWUUBBRRGG spell that can only be cast by Basics if you want your set to matter. If you are looking to shake the meta...

    This is an excellent point! I think you have maybe also turned me off Growth-Chamber Guardian with that argument. Not exactly the same but I think unless I run a counters theme, it could translate to this kind of effect as well.

    We now have an upgraded Muscle Burst (Except there is no Diligent Farmhand to boost it.) Did some of you guys ever continue on that kind of design in the custom section?

    I think he was trying to make a joke (successfully) and then went away from the joke onto his statement in the lines of "Modern artwork for Magic the gathering are too digital and boring, too generic.." and that is where I caught him. He didn't use those words as you can go up and see. This is...

    1. Beauty is a subjective quality. You do not have the whole truth because other people's opinion matter. 2. He was making a joke.

    I love that in English we normally use italic letters in such a sentence (walked) but because all of the flavor text is italic already Wizards had to use normal letters on that 'walked' :P

    I don't think that logic holds water but I could be wrong. Primal is parasitic. Or at least close to it. Affinity and Infect are also parasitic but they survive because they are broken. Wizards have admitted their fault. Just like I do not think we should design our cubes from a Power max list...

    Onde I guess if the set is only meant to be played in Constructed. However a new issue arrise then. A 5-colored Primal card is parasitic. Or you could say Primal is parasitic in 4-5 color decks because only your set supports 5-color Basics. People cannot brew a 5-colored deck with only Basic...

    Cavalier of Flame survives Wildfire and is quite good after the graveyard has been filled with lands.

    So here is a lifegain enabler and reward in one: I like that the tokens have the real names. I am very tempted to put this into my cube since I run a Jeskai prowess/spell matters theme: It seems a little weak. What do you guys think?

    Door to Nothingness is like 'my' variant of your card. It sits on the board at 5 mana and creates a good story. However our version costs WUBRG and not 5 generic so it has to be better on the board. You gave it a creature buff. I am thinking we can maybe find something super unique, but I am...

    Oh yes, it is too useless. This new version is also useless but at least it will do something in the games it is played. The feel-bad moment is less feel bad and the win is equally easy. If we could come up with a super unique static ability, then I would say it is a home run IMO. Also this...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    You are right it is more texty. However I do not see your original design (or the nerfed version with the delayed victory) see any play what so ever in any cube or set. This one might. How many Primal cards do you have? Sometimes Wizards do this funny thing where they make 16 cards have a...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Sorry I didn't explain myself well enough. I think the card should cost WUBRG and have a unique effect. Then I also think it should have a second activated ability that costs WWUUBBRRGG that says "You win the game" Upsides here are: Opponent will have a chance to react because it is on the...

    I looked at all those cards and was like ' Yuk'.. ..and then I went and saved that Forbidden Truths artwork on my PC :) My advice on your Primal win condition: Make it an enchantment with a static or upkeep-triggered effect. Give it hexproof like Lich's Mastery. And finally let it win you the...
