I like writing flavor text and I usually end up pretty happy with what flavor text adds to the story my custom designs tell.

Not to be nit-picky, but shouldn’t it be: “Every failure is a chance to get it right”? Also, I feel this almost deserves its own thread?

No, no! The real question is, do you Qolt the Qird?

I think it's going to play well, regardless of the complexity of the play patterns it promotes.

I mean, Saproling Burst was acceptable as the five drop too ;)

The backside of that looks like something someone would run pre-flipped in a powered cube :) Barracks of the Thousand

I prefer the new frame, so certain reprints really excite me :) Here's all the old favorites that made it into my cube (some with reprints in the new border, some without). Eternal Dragon Waterfront Bouncer Counterspell Frantic Search Grim Lavamancer Incinerate Reckless Charge Arc Lightning...

#doubt I think mana acceleration is a lot stronger than a ~40% chance of drawing a card and a ~60% chance of putting a +1/+1 counter somewhere. (edited quote for clarity)

If you’re not in it for the money, and you have playtested your game to your heart’s desire and feel there are no major tweaks left, you can pitch your idea to a games publisher. That’s how one of my friend got their game published. You’re not going to get rich, and there’s going to be a lot of...

Yeah, I don't disagree with that point! It's just that offline and online have separate advantages (and disadvantages) that means they both are valuable for the game. Arena means you can now play anywhere at any time you want, which both means it's far easier to get a game in than back in the...

Imo splitting the game is a really bad idea long term. I’m pretty sure Arena is part of the reason paper Magic is still popular and vice versa, plus there is value in being able to cross-reference data (e.g. deck lists). Neither would be as strong without the other.

I think @Jason Waddell probably is the most qualified here to answer that question, as he likes designing games as well. I have dabbled in it a bit as well, and I have friends who created games. Probably the three most important tips I can give are 1) Polishing should be your last step. It’s...

No, I'm referring to the on-site lexicon of {}-codes. Here, let me show you some screenshots! The list is much longer, you can scroll down to see the codes for e.g. Phyrexian mana symbols, snow mana, and the energy symbol. To get to the point where these screenshots were made, visit...

I don't really mind the landfall frame on non-landfall permanents, as it still looks good on the "new" cards. The stained glass frame is actually the Dominaria showcase frame, not to be confused with the stained glass planeswalker frame. The adventure frame kinda suck on non-adventure cards...

If you are referring to the special frames for the Theros cards in MOM, they actually used the enchantment frame only on enchantments! Compare... Heliod has the enchantment frame (notice the borders on the side and the starry crown), but Kroxa and Kunoros (and also Polukranos Reborn) don't...

I totes would have snapped it up if it costed {1}{w}.

Woodland Devourer and Seasons Wurm (Season's?) are super sweet.

Yes, though tribal applies to more indigenous tribes around the world, not just American natives.

I believe they are abandoning those terms for sensitivity reasons, that is, they are worried/convinced those terms are offensive to certain cultures and therefore don’t want to use them anymore.

Already Know What I Want To Swap These For Eaten by Piranhas Frogify is sort of a concession to a) blue not being the best removal color and b) Zur the Enchanter needing some targets in each of its colors, but it's not really a great card. Giving it flash makes it lightyears better imo, because...
