Does your set symbol creator automatically have the green background? Mine doesn't ever have it, so I can only make a set symbol if it's got a square around it. I've tried a ton of things in the files and uploading a symbol vs drawing one, etc.

Sorry for the black update lol. I realized after doing it that it makes it less applicable to everyone else. It definitely felt a little lacking with all the commons. Another cool option would be some sort of special slot like TSP had. Maybe an old frame card, land slot, if you went with a...

True. It's very close to having a tapped fetch with access to whatever it wants. That plays out fine for greediness. Granted, it needs a target to fetch, but people play 2-3 fetch / 2-3 shock/dual and it seems alright. Should be fine for anything but the slowest format. 5C Thriving Tribal...

I guess I don't want to make ABcde too easy to draft, but it's only 5 cards out of 110 commons (I just looked up what RAV had for C/U/R). They're a lot of bang for your buck in the proper colored deck for a common cycle, which matters in this "retail" environment. Certainly not about to add...

Of course they're better than Vale. My concern is they're too useful if you run triplets of them at common. How many Thrivings before you splash like crazy? Am I taking off color ones in slower decks for the hell of it?

Thought: Thrivings too good? Look at Evolving Wilds. I consider it a great common fixer. You can play it in your XY colored deck and get X land or Y land. Simple. Look at a Thriving land. It's a flexible gate, right? You can play the Z colored Thriving and get Xz or Yz in your XY colored deck...

@Velrun https://cubecobra.com/cube/playtest/zmqw 3 of each common, 2 of each uncommon, 1 of each R/M. Super incomplete, but the draft format is set up as 11C 3U 1R+. Your post about retail stuff got me thinking if my Pokemon idea should be set up as a set rather than a cube. This is a test of...

Got it.

Man, that's cool. I'm not big on reading, but you know people are loving it. They've got 56 followers. How do we recruit this person? ;) I often want to cut searching, tokens, and any kind of counter that goes on a permanent. Get rid of any extra actions. Yeah... Unfortunately, if you want to...

My understanding is that the edges of your card are a bit at risk through MPC, so that's a scary frame to send there. I do like it from WotC, however.

Maybe I'll make a thread soon... Yu-Gi-Oh has Which feels rather White.

Good point! Strengths and weaknesses, but no sweet combos or glaring holes. I have a rough outline, but have to feel things out a bit. The Pokemon have to lead you to what's flavorfully right. Obviously the fight mechanic has to go into the Fighting color. Electric got counter spells because it...

Right. You could take like 3 strengths and 3 weaknesses of each color, toss them into hats, and redraw them at random for reassignment and it would probably still be an interesting game. Each color would have new roles and you'd have to figure out how that fits from a flavor perspective. Double...

Anyone have strong thoughts on the color pie? I'm doing a custom set with a different color scheme entirely, so I want to try to assess what's important and what isn't. For example, I think card drawing is a key mechanic and blue historically having all of it was extremely flawed. Green having...

Mine's not retail distribution but I'd be unsurprised if the ratios are significantly closer than most cubes. It's also not all Onslaught cards. Rather, it expands on the themes of Onslaught to be less parasitic but flavorfully similar. Surely one of the lower powered lists here, but it might be...

I dunno what I'm gonna do, but I have a new anxiety related to worms.

What about a design where the dude can Ninjutsu back for free? Or a reverse Ninjutsu like "Return it unblocked: Ninja in a dude where Ninja cost is MV minus 2."

Any fun Ninjutsu ideas? I realize I could theoretically do CARDNAME (any cost) Creature - Any Types Ninjutsu (any cost) Any ETB or damage effect or anything else, really. P/T but I'm sure someone has some cute stuff in mind.

I like 4 the most. It's the closest to a fetch. Solid in any black deck. I wouldn't have made Extinction Zone outside of my format or maybe for EDH. I still wish we had gotten colored/Wastes fetches back in BFZ block.
