triples are ok. they are about the only tap land that doesn’t give me stomach cramps on sight
What did you make this on? Artificer isn't able to make the lines between text smaller once there starts to be a lot of text. It didn't seem like an issue when making fun of blacksmithy, but now my Temple2.0s look weird.

So... Bloodsky Marsh has forest right there in the art. This to me feels like it should be your Jund art. Alternatively, there's Purple Forest by Kirk Quilaquil that also works for a BRG triland.
Kirk Quilaquil, Ninjatic on Deviantart, actually has some great art for you. I'm using this one on a BW dual myself, but it works really well for a Mardu dual as well: Valley of a Thousand Suns by Kirk Quilaquil.
He also has one of my favorite BUG land arts: Ruined Ship by Kirk Quilaquil, though Cavern by Kirk Quilaquil works as well.
If you're unsure about your BWG art, Substrata by Kirk Quilaquil is a good one.
I would always add artist credits. It's simply the right thing to do. I can't imagine any artist being fine with their art being used uncredited (unless they got a lot of money for it).

Let me see about MSE on Linux or I can emulate it. It would be a lot easier to add artist credit when I can name the file.
Just looked around on the phone and I can save an image then add a description where I'd put the artist name.

Given my experience with the software this might be a problem for WINE, I'm not sure how much of a pain it is.

I like the new ones.
innistrad utility duals (with a couple tweaks)
Yeah, the basic land typing technically allows me to skip the mana production text, which saves me valuable rules box real estate on the custom lands. (in addition to all the busted interactions basic land typing brings to the table)
i have had great experiences so far with running a spread of actual factual fetches, painless and textless “basic duals,” and shockland “utility duals” that do stuff. this just deepens my roster of utility duals to choose from and i’ve always LOVED the innistrad utility lands, they are such nice effects! (in general, you can probably see where i nerfed Drownyard for 40 card decks, and stole the effect from Rix Maadi to replace Stensia Bloodhall’s poopy ability)

Recommended. At least on windows, the fonts are system wide, and the sets are just files so you shouldn't lose anything?
Testing tomorrow. Will click slowly and carefully through the uninstall process.

Wait, are you on windows? You can just move the install directory elsewhere and overwrite it later if it all fucks up
Yes I am. Can you write me an easy-to-understand guide as to how to do that?

Hey there,
I made a cycle of 30 cards for my cube to fullfill a specific purpose.
Each card has a mix of hybrid and normal colored mana costs.
I mostly play a two player draft variant and I wanted to add multicolor cards that are easier to include into different decks.
I try to find new cards for the last six.
But I lack creativity these days. Maybe some of you come up with something.

There are definitely some gems in there. Some very cool designs! I think my favorite out of the bunch is The Elder Relic. So simple, and yet, so very, very sweet! 
There are a few I am less sure about.
Veil of Mold feels like it should not be a black hybrid. Black loves destroying creatures more than anything else, with lands and enchantments being a very distant third (after planeswalkers). I feel this could maybe be a card. White doesn't really unconditionally kill creatures (unless it's en mass), but it kills pretty much anything else, except lands. Guess what red and green can do
Zophiel, the Conundrum feels like a bit of an outlier. It's the only card out of the bunch that isn't exciting to me, because in a lot of cases it's just going to be a 2/2 flying for 2. Maybe you can turn it into something more proactive against any opponent. I like "Whenever a land enters the battlefield under an opponent's control, they may put a card from their hand on top of their library. If they don't, you draw a card." Maybe 2/2 is a bit much with this line, but at least this does something against every opponent, and it fits nicely with the name
Ana, the Ur-Mother seems nasty. I mean, expensive, sure, but the fact that killing stuff effectively doesn't cost any resources is crazy. The ability isn't even restricted to sorcery speed, so you can just activate it at your leisure on your own and your opponent's turns to mitigate the life loss.
For Circle of Fate, I don't expect every player to know what fateseal does, since it's a pretty old and sparsely used mechanic. I would simply write it out and replace the first line with: "For each player, look at the top two cards of that player's library, then put any number of them on the bottom of their library and the rest on top in any order."
Some nitpicks:

Some nitpicks:
- WotC stopped using the Æ character, see Aether Adept, for example. All cards that used to have and Æ in their card name now officially use 'ae', and they updated Oracle accordingly. In other words, that card should be called Aeromonculus
- 'Instant' and 'Sorcery' should be entirely lower case on Arcane Mastery (so "... an instant or sorcery card.")
- Re: Glenn, the Voice of Calm: WotC usually only uses the complete name of a legendary card the first time it is referenced in its rules text. By the way, I love this design, and I wish it cost or instead so I could Might of Oaks into a full grip

I...was just trying to come up with cards like this actually!
A{C/D} cards are real hard to design, but these seem cool

i dig these, they are pretty cool and seem to mostly be costed pretty nicely for high power environments. just might borrow a few!
