    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Door to Nothingness is like 'my' variant of your card. It sits on the board at 5 mana and creates a good story. However our version costs WUBRG and not 5 generic so it has to be better on the board. You gave it a creature buff. I am thinking we can maybe find something super unique, but I am...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Oh yes, it is too useless. This new version is also useless but at least it will do something in the games it is played. The feel-bad moment is less feel bad and the win is equally easy. If we could come up with a super unique static ability, then I would say it is a home run IMO. Also this...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    You are right it is more texty. However I do not see your original design (or the nerfed version with the delayed victory) see any play what so ever in any cube or set. This one might. How many Primal cards do you have? Sometimes Wizards do this funny thing where they make 16 cards have a...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Sorry I didn't explain myself well enough. I think the card should cost WUBRG and have a unique effect. Then I also think it should have a second activated ability that costs WWUUBBRRGG that says "You win the game" Upsides here are: Opponent will have a chance to react because it is on the...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I looked at all those cards and was like ' Yuk'.. ..and then I went and saved that Forbidden Truths artwork on my PC :) My advice on your Primal win condition: Make it an enchantment with a static or upkeep-triggered effect. Give it hexproof like Lich's Mastery. And finally let it win you the...

    Is your last name Rosewater because daaamn that is a fine written article! And no I do not use this phrasing to pick up chicks (but I bet you feel flattered, right?)

    Great finds! Maybe one of you can take a look at Zero and tell us all what I missed. It seems like you two might be better at the job than I am. Keep up the good work! Ps. Can someone link me to the template used on Recall Forgotten Eons?

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Okay it seems like there is a major gap between the best and the worst set when it comes to quality :P I have been looking at the set Zero and it doesn't really have much to share. Most of the cards seem outdated, too texty or just lazy design. The art doesn't share one, two, three of four...

    I'll upload the cards I like here from each set, oldest to newest. Zero will be uploaded tomorrow.

    Okay cool. I have started from the bottom with the Zero set. This will take a while and I haven't seen a card I like yet. Edit: Found one I maybe like.

    What is it? Is it cube-related or custom card related?

    Or the big bad Humility Overwhelming Splendor The upside here compared to original Humility is that games end fast. It might be too swingy when it enters from a dying trigger.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Clap, clap, clap.. (Clapping sound continues for a few minutes) What a gem! I usually don't run such sweet utility cards as custom cards in my cube because I want my customs to be supporting build-around cards (Like the colorless Demonic Pact a few pages back.) that can help bring consistency...

    General Fight Club

    Well Teshar and Traxos trigger on Historic and not just artifacts. They will also trigger from Bident of Thassa. It isn’t much, I know, but it might give Bident a tiny little point. Both are interesting cards but my vote also goes to Thopter Spy Network which I absolutely love!

    Sets [M20] Core Set 2020

    This is the reason why I play Magic! Magic is not a game per se in the classical sense. It is a game engine, where each set is a new game with new ideas to explore. We could also call them expansions but each set is so different that I am leaning towards calling them a new game every set. This...

    Melek is awesome!!!! ..at 4 mana. Or maybe 5? It is certainly swingy but is also has the same ‘problem’ that is talked about here: https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/fight-club.560/page-151#post-82673 It is tough to hit instants or sorceries. Unless you shape your cube around it.
