    Sharzad v4 - The Passion of Tarkir

    As part of getting Sharzad v4 together, I wanted to make sure I was paying enough homage to the original three sets that I liked so much. Without any cards from what I’ll now call (nearly a decade later) “Old” Tarkir, my Planar Chaos of Tarkir cube would be a less honest, less loving, less...

    i think no matter what you're going to have to get several heuristics and build a formula that combines them in a way whose output you recognize as legitimate

    Sharzad v4 - The Passion of Tarkir

    DRAGGIN' BEHIND DRAGONS OF TARKIR (AND HOW AND WHY I SURPASSED IT) dragons of tarkir has 26 dragons and an as-fan of less than one dragon per pack of cards opened. 19.25% of its creatures are dragons and the OVERWHELMING consensus is that this wasn't enough. Partially this is because many of...

    Sharzad v4 - The Passion of Tarkir

    re-transcribed from a discord conversation so please excuse me that it's not as laconic as usual. not editing it beyond what i've done to add a frame narrative. sorry thanks one day, a student asked Gutei Oshõ about small games. the wise master Gutei Oshõ wastelanded him. On another day, a...

    I don't agree. I think "the first time [this turn]" is actually way more computationally complex ("inelegant") and feels worse. Most instances of either gating condition are on activated abilities (most of which don't cost mana and therefore need a limiting condition), neatly solving the issue...

    jinxed idol brings a new texture and tenor to gameplay that I enjoy more than the inevitability of spawning pit. with the idol there are real moments of panic and fear for both players IMO

    the card is so funny....goes off with Force of Will, Gush, Fury, Scion of Draco, affinity cards, delve, adds a fourth card to your Lorien Revealed because hey why not, justifies playing Misdirection in Vintage again...so much of the past decade of Magic design has led to Beanstalk actually being...

    at X or less it's unprintably strong, way way way too strong. Drown in the Loch is 2 mana and pretty good also. i think probably 'The Passion of Tarkir' is strong enough right now. I would like both of the walkers to be more reminiscent of their previous kits for sure. I could let Narset's -X...

    The triggered ability is loose, I agree. I want her to have an exile-heavy kit to represent parallel timelines, stuff moving from exile to the battlefield and vice versa with the flavour that it's causality and timelines stuff, related to Sarkhan's thanos snap. I'm not worried about her ability...

    I think I'm almost done with custom cards. Gotta change a couple broken designs into more interesting ones, but definitely in the closing stages of the custom card project. Check out the planeswalkers. They're supposed to be able to hang with Omnath, Locus of Creation on power level

    am I missing the part where it's two tokens? the card says one token. which is a fair bit weaker than the version of it being described
