Cloudkin seems more flexible to me. Goes great in an aggro/tempo deck as an evasive beater, but also works great in control since the 2/1 can trade with most aggro threats (3/2s specifically). The 1/3 is nice but there aren’t a ton of things sea gate is blocking that you couldn’t just use the...

Maybe I’m not as good at mtg as other people and that is the disconnect here, but I don’t really feel like Gempalm Incinerator requires you to have to support goblin tribal to be good. There are so many incidental goblins that make there way in to my cube that gempalm feels like it would be...

Would you mind explaining this or providing an example of what you were referring to here? Or maybe someone else could?

I like it. I’m gonna add it to my cube. You’ve convinced me

I’m imagining a cube where you have it on like 5-10 cards out of 540

To add more decision complexity I am wondering if you could make give a list of a few bonuses that you get from the ring tempting you and the player gets to choose. So it would be something like this: "When the ring tempts you, gain a burden counter a choose one of the following: 1) draw a...

It is actually kind of interesting because someone early in the thread pointed out how its weird that the "ring" card is not equipment. And someone else said "well the idea is that WE (the summoner) are wearing the ring". Which makes sense. Fine. And the text even says "the ring tempts YOU"...

I know a lot of people have been saying how they find "The ring tempts you" unfortunate text to find on a lot of good cards. And the mechanic that was designed for it is boring and not worth the added complexity. And also not thematically cool (or that cool from a game-play standpoint). I...

1) both. i could see it on spells and creatures 2) yes for sure. i think this would be the main use case of the ability 3) i think damage that is simultaneous wouldn’t proc a marker. so if you wanted to take advantage of it you would have to hit with a first strike creature that had marker...

I was toying around with this idea for a mechanic. Curious what people think: Markerlight (If a source with Markerlight deal damage to a target, that target receives a marker. Until end of turn, if a source with a marker receives damage, it receives that much damage plus the number of markers...

I've been giving this some more thought and I decided that I am going to try to stick to one timeline. I am going to have the cube be "set" in the Era Indomitus. I think you make some good points and this will help with some of the design by placing some constraints. That is, I can restrict...

I am half doing this. I am using existing cards as inspiration or just straight copying them a lot of the time. For instance, Traitor Guardsman is actually just Bloodsoaked Champion. Nurgling is actually just Festering Mummy. Ripper swarm is based off of Carrion Feeder. However, I do think...

Yeah agree he is a bit ahead of the curve. I may just up his cost to {1}{B} but then I will need to come up with another creature for the 1 slot probably.

Would love to hear what people think! Just a reminder of the themes I am trying to incorporate in Black: 1) The main theme that is anchored in black is creature sacrifice 2) Lands Matter (preferably focused on sacrificing them or using lands in your graveyard to do something) 3) Artifacts...

Awesome. I am going to roughly copy the format they are using over in the Custom Card thread. Here are my first draft of black 1-cost creatures: Nurgling {B} Creature -- Nurgle Daemon Whenever Nurgling dies, you may a -1/-1 counter on target creature. "The Great Father marks out those who...

Awesome. Thanks, y'all!

How do you all make the little mana symbols appear in a post?

Is there a good way to show custom cards? Or do I just have to paste a bunch of text?

Great questions and thoughts! My overall plan was to have Dark Eldar be Black/White/Red as you suggested. The Orzhov side being the more aritocrat type Dark Eldar and the Rakdos side covering the fact that the Dark Eldar are the "fastest" faction in the galaxy and strike unexpectedly, without...

You can see the green is more heavily weighted toward creatures and blue toward spells (red also has a slight tilt toward spells). Red has a lower avg cmc for its creatures while blue has slightly higher one with green the highest. This is to reflect wanting to red to have a strong aggro...
