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.

I don't personally like land destruction or that it curves 2 into 3 on its own. I'd like to see it at 4 with the option to destroy an artifact. Or "Destroy up to one target artifact. Nightbird's." at 3 MV because myself and my playgroup find LD so un-fun. Maybe that's the next Un set. Unfun...

I changed the Tower effect to BB/BG/GG like Twilight Mire.

Tapped, color-tweaked typeless duals.

Hey! You stole my idea before I made it! How would you rank those? Dual vs Shocampus vs Shockman vs Shocktility? Are the mans and utilities the exact cycles as WotC designed them? I assume there's a fetch or two in your list? Dual dual fetch fetch and a shock cycle or something?

Are your lands not in your list? Remember when you thought Evolving Wilds was the pinnacle?

I'd only be doing one cycle of utilities. What do you think about Desolate Darkhouse shock-utility versus a shockmanland? The Darkhouse is probably less powerful because it doesn't impact the board, ya? It also aids the themes rather than just being a threat, so that seems like a plus.

Yeah. That's why these have a foundation based on an existing land. How are your Shockmanlands compared to the other stuff you've got? What if they lost the basic land types? Shock-utilities with no basic land types is the most appealing to me right now. Lmao. I didn't even consider what it...

Made this post about the non fixing lands I have. Seems like tweaking fixing lands is a lot safer than going all nutty with utility lands, but I thought I'd toss some ideas here and get some feedback.

In the Customs Thread, I've reworked the mana base. TLDR: It's more resilient and black-centric. I'll post the full thing once it's done. For now, I'm looking at what lands I run that aren't yet replaced: blinkmoth nexus mishra's factory Manlands that are there to support the artifact theme as...

Yeah. It's definitely not the strongest thing ever printed, but I still think it's pretty good, ya? The basic land types help and I don't want it to be free to toss into a deck, so I don't think I can remove the world "basic." I think it's cleaner to just go with A. A is already quite strong...

This is why I ever considered B. I can't tell how good it is. It's either 1.5 painlands or .6 Confluences. This is very true. I feel like making up flavor text has a high potential to be cringe. I'm not opposed to adding some, but it seems risky. This is going to make me go with A. Being...
