Yeah I agree @Chris Taylor it doesn’t ruin games. It’s just an efficient draw spell.
Share a StoryI do find it a bit weird to be making a 1/1 dragon token, regardless of the art
I've been trying to find a use for this art for a while now:
Mermaids and Losing your footing by Sam Hogg
So much of the identity of red that gets expressed in magic is Rage, Fury, Conflict, War, Blood etc, with the occasional glance of anything else (Cathartic Reunion really deserves better art, I always thought Chandra would be more of an ugly cry kinda person but then again this art is hardly the worst thing to happen to her character)
Red is the color of passion and joy too, we just don't see it because it doesn't make for a good 2 drop or burn spell
oooh, i really like that hellrider as an "and now let's stop heckin around" card. Do you think the effect is too dramatic at any price? Or might you cube it at, say, 3 or 1?
Can we give it Waifu art and call it the Blacksmithy Special?i would run hellrider at 1RR if i supported aggro
i think that’s absolutely correct.Put it on a card and see how it reads.
My bet is that it probably has two or three lines of text too much.
A snappier name for the card might help. Snake Knot. Ball of Hiss. Fanged Tangle. Fangle.Here's the full text of the card.
Chroma - A Whole Pile of Snakes With Their Tails Tied Together costs less to cast for each green mana symbol among permanents you control.
A Whole Pile of Snakes With Their Tails Tied Together enters the battlefield with 5 +1/+1 counters on it.
Trample
, Remove a +1/+1 counter from A Whole Pile of Snakes With Their Tails Tied Together: Create a 1/1 green snake creature token.
Sacrifice a snake: Put a +1/+1 counter on A Whole Pile of Snakes With Their Tails Tied Together.

The original idea wasi think that’s absolutely correct.
good heuristic on customs: if your custom card maker starts pinching down the text, you probably wanna simplify the card a bit
So, I've been running Pathways for a while now in my cube, and this has bothered me as well. I'm wondering if this could replace them.I like the concept of Pathways, but hate the execution.
I've got a higher resolution version that is too big to upload here. Maybe PM me if you want itThank-you everyone for your input on my dumb-ass idea. I absolutely love the art you found for it as well Onderzeeboot. I think I have to get it printed and play it now, it's gone too far for any other result

On three official Magic cards (one of which has a super-sized text box even)So, as we learned today with Mishra, you can have almost 150 words on an official magic card.
90 seems perfectly acceptable
This is the largest good map I could find.@Onderzeeboot
Not Magic related but custom related. I’ll write here instead of in a PM because maybe others will find it useful too.
Can you help me find the best Middle Earth (or The Lord of the Rings/Hobbit/Rings of Power) artwork of a world map in as high resolution as possible?
You’re always amazing at finding good artwork. Maybe your skills go beyond finding pictured for land cycles, creatures and other Magic related artworks.
In my home cinema I have a large 180x120 map of Westeros, Essos and the rest of the known world from A Song of Ice and Fire. I also have a The Lands Between from Elden Ring (which is kind of a spoiler to have hanging on the wall for those who haven’t finished the game). They are both acoustic prints which means they are thick and made from a material that absorb sounds for a better listening experience. Now I’m looking for one of Middle Earth or the known world of Tolkien.
