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.

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.

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...

Also, ha, same! :D Sorry for the negativity, but I see this back and forth as critical during this phase. Nothing personal, but I'ld do a filibuster to prevent a drawback-only mechanics to make it into the list. It's important to note that I'm not against drawback-only designs! These designs do...

Sorry, but I completely disagree with the merits of a drawback only mechanic. There's a reason it polls bad! I firmly believe the way to go is to word it in a way that it can be upside. Note: My suggestion from above does *not* prevent you from designing some cards with a downside, if that...

Art link Bataar Did anyone of you ever read that article by Rosewater where he talked about how echo was disliked as a mechanic because it was all downside. Wait, I can do better, here's the article! It's actually an article about the legendary supertype, but here's the relevant part (when...

Vigilance is cool in that you can attack and then after combat can still tame a beast. I think if you want to keep all the abilities, you need to up the rarity or severely lower the toughness, which kinda suck as it then wouldn't be a good attacker anymore. If we're going to design a set by...

Haha :P This way might be even better: Wild ( As a sorcery, tap any number of non-wild creatures with total power greater than <cardname> to tame it. If you do, put a domestication counter on <cardname> and it loses wild.) At the beginning of your upkeep, if ~ is wild, it deals 2 damage to...

Sorry, but I really dislike the "can't attack", that does not communicate "wild beasts" at all. Maybe my version isn't enough of a drawback, in which case I strongly believe we should find something else altogether. Also, I personally really, really dislike stat walls (like Nullhide Ferox)...

By the way, this set is shaping up to be impossible to test on pc :')

Still think wild creatures should be attacking, not sitting back pacified. I really like your idea of needing greater power though, that means you can unify the reminder text for the ability because you don't need a parameter any more (or rather, can determine the parameter dynamically based on...
