I feel like this is too solvable without any clues to be enjoyable. I took the hard puzzle, which also scrubs the card's color, and still managed to narrow it down to a creature that can tap for any color of mana and play cards from your graveyard with a finality counter (that also has another activated ability and was printed in 2023, most likely Ixalan), but I ultimately don't remember Intrepid Paleontologist existing. I think that for any card with a reasonably large text box I could get it in 0 hints, but sometimes I also just won't remember the card to begin with.
Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer was easy.
I thought it was Zurgo Bellstriker at first cus I hate that monkey and try to forget that it exists.

Even the Magic universe isn’t safe from Jar Jar! XD
Most of the Sharpie cards that I see are eye rollingly broken and would be unfun to play with or against, so it's nice to see that some real gamers are using Sculpting Steel to shove things up their asses.
It seems like all the Card Conjurer tutorials I can find (on Youtube) is outdated and doesn't really teach what you need for the current www.cardconjurer.com program.
Am I wrong here?

The guy behind CardConjurer got hit by a cease & desist from WotC's lawyers. You want to use one of the many mirrors that popped up, like https://cardconjurer.vercel.app/.
Unfortunately there are not a lot of resources (that I know of) on how to use the tool. For specific questions your best bet is the "Make Play test Cards" discord.
I did consider your offer and I don't think it's too difficult to learn, but unfortunately I don't have much time at the moment (even to work on my own cube, let alone play it).
I'm always happy to answer questions though.
I can be flexible if you decide to change your mind. No pressure though <3
This is a workflow for old-border cards with Card Conjurer that I sent to a friend some time ago. Maybe it's a first step?
(https://cardmaker.onrender.com/).
Example for Guide of Souls
1. First the frame and print margin:
FRAME - Main category: Old/Misc Sub category: Seventh Edition -> White Frame (double click)
MARGIN - Main 1/8th Inch Margin -> Pick first one (always try with a double click if not specified)
2. Art and Artist credit
ART -> Enter card name in search bar (Artist credit automatically)
3. Add Text
TEXT (manually) - Mana Cost -> letter "w"
- Title + Type + Power/Toughness -> manually
TEXT - Rules Text -> copy paste from Scryfall -> clean up: remove space between paragraphs. If 3x Energy symbols break textbox -> add line break ({lns}) before to move it to the next line.
That's it! (Optional: Set Symbol)
EDIT: I think it's easiest to just try to recreate some normal magic cards and then, once that works, try some more challenging designs like sagas, planes walkers, etc.
It's working, it's working!!
Big thank you to @Schafkurai and @Onderzeeboot

I'll show 'my' creations in the custom thread soon

Your youtube video popped up on my home site today. I say video, singular, because apparently you made one glorious youtube video, released it into the world and it got 40k views (!). And it's the only video on your channel! Amazing.
Youtube be random like that. I searched for the video, they released it a year ago then somehow a month ago it managed to just pile on the views. Might have snuck into some Balatro algorithm or something.

Gotta give us a link to boost the numbers further, my man!
Lol that's awesome. If people want to watch that video it's here:
And yeah it's pretty funny, I basically made this video as a personal challenge to myself because I watch a lot of video essays and consequently watch a lot of bad video essays and I thought that it simply can't be that hard to make like a solid 7/10 video. And it isn't. And then like a few of my friends saw it and then I didn't really think about it for like a year and now it randomly blew up in the algorithm.
I have a bunch of other ideas for videos that I may make some day but it's just a fun hobby to me so who knows if or when I'll ever get around to it.

I've had many thoughts about what would be funny to say in like a community post or a pinned comment now that people care about this channel and keep asking me to make more videos but none of them have been funnier than "just say nothing and release another completely unrelated video in like a year from now"
Extortionist and Jeweled Lotus will come down in price a lot now presumably, but I wonder if mana crypt will be affected
It’s banned in all formats except Vintage where it is 3/4 banned.
So I imagine it will drop 75 % or more within six months.
