General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

[spicewitch]

Thanks man!
I actually have to go get some new pieces at some point. I've been using the same (Admittedly big) collection of sourced images for a while now, and I'm noticing a few gaps in it. I've got quite a few deviantart galleries to sift through when I get some time

Maybe you can help me! I found some great art pieces for a set I was making for myself, but I ran out of art when the set was about halfway complete. I had a hard time finding a large amount of art for a "Cowboys and Demons" sort of set. Guns and Sorcery in the Wild West. That sort of thing. Got any leads on a large quantity of appropriate art? I had to scour up most of the art one piece at a time from deviantart.

Spoiler

the lizard rider is my absolute favorite:

It's almost impossible to find Wild-West appropriate goblins, elves, or merfolk, so most images I find where the subject's ears are hidden become de facto Elves. I also have to leave out goblins in favor of demons elementals and lizards, and merfolk are passed over in favor of human-wizards and spirits.

Mesa Sabretooth
Creature - Cat
3/1

Seems sweet. Not sure he needs lifelink, but then again 3 color card

what if vigilance+haste instead

I actually liked the lifelink. Ties it to both black and white. Felt pretty appropriate.

Maybe this Pinterest can help? http://www.pinterest.com/mad1ands/weird-west/

There's even a cowboy necromancer on there!

That Thing That Sun Titan Does

... Is coolest when it triggers more than once. I guess this is fairly costed, and it could certainly see play, but I like it better as a Titan trigger (though I don't like the 6/6 vigilance body).

Omfg guys I'm sorry for sparing you my brusque response (oh damn is that not a card?) but I had this seven point haughty address about this crappy dark banishing and your response to my #FlavorWin but my laptop overheated, sparing me your displeasure and sparing you my lame ass criticism.

Anyway I only say this because I've got a great idea now and I'm supposed to be having fun at a bar. Inspired by the new bs blue dragon.

Eldrich Dragon 4(ub)(ub)
Creature - dragon elemental?
Flash, flying
When eldrich dragon enters the battlefield choose one:
- put the top 4 cards of target players library into their grave.
- exile up to four cards in target players library
Evoke - 1(ub)
4/4

Sweet right? Isn't evoke just like grossly sweet and synergistic for how narrow of a mechanic it is?

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Evoke is the best, I hope they print some more soon.

I don't think it should grant +2/+2. It's like two-and-a-half Swords of X and Y rolled into one, so it should definitely grant +5/+5. I'm not sure if that would increase the mana cost to / and the equip cost to though...

BROKEN

 

[Onderzeeboot]

I also think it's a flavor fail that this Sword uses abilities from only three of the five Swords of X and Y. Where's Sword of Feast and Famine? Where's Sword of War and Peace? Plus, you picked the lame abilities! No, this won't do, it obviously needs other picks. I do like the name though, it's very apt, let's keep that! How about this:

Sword of Shady Body Heat and a Light Brainfreeze
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has protection from all colors. Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, you gain life equal to the number of cards in your hand, that player puts the top 10 cards of his or her library into their graveyard, you may return up to one target creature card from your graveyard to your hand, Sword of Shady Body Heat and a Light Brainfreeze deals 2 damage to target creature or player, and untap all lands you control.
Equip

There. Much better! I decided to keep the bonus at +2/+2, because, as James rightly pointed out, that +3/+3 extra really puts it over the top. You'ld run into balancing issues at that point, and that's something we want to be careful with.

 

[James Stevenson]

I was more referring to the high equip cost. A mana sink of that size gives way too much late game power!

Ah right. Well, we don't want to create midrange monstrosities in our cubes do we. Good catch!

Both could be fine. Lifelink felt strong to me, not out of flavor (Thus "Then again 3 color card")
Not even sure it's worth worrying about

W2 I think. I've got a creature only version at W1 instant and it's strong but not insane.
At 3cc you even avoid it being rampant growth with a fetchland, because nobody cares about people getting darksteel ingot

Wandering Spirit
Creature — Spirit
Flying, Flash, Vigilance
2/2

 

[Rasmus Källqvist]

Don't the stat make it a bit awkward to flash in? Or is it like, you hold this up and dissipate?

 

[Suicufnoc]

Yeah I prefer pestermite. Though I have been considering running a u/w hybrid version.

 

[Lucre]

That white sorcery sucks butts lol

 

[Rasmus Källqvist]

u/w hybrid of pestermite?

 

[Suicufnoc]

u/w hybrid of pestermite?

yes.
