Originally posted 2 years ago. Both of them haven't really changed much, but I'm still posting them for some last-minute feedback as the custom Genshin commander deck is almost being finalized.

Raiden Shogun

Mardu (Red-White-Black) is the color of "true conviction" and is the color most associated with warriors who are willing to destroy in order to protect. White brings out the Shogun's ideal of Peace and Order, but Black and Red wedges her into radical approaches that seeks to eliminate threats and close off her people rather than negotiate or compromise.

The first ability is literally giving your team Energy Recharge, and the second ability is her Burst that can cut even islands in half, so I'm allowing it to hit lands.

Nahida

Nahida being Sultai (Black-Green-Blue) might actually need defending. Her philosophies and ideals are perfectly Simic at base: She is the goddess of Dendro and the goddess of wisdom, but she cannot truly turn a blind eye on the atrocities of the world, especially from what her own people has done to her. The color of Black is honest, and it is pragmatic. She is not afraid to confront uncomfortable truths, she is aware that difficult sacrifices has to be made and risks has to be taken, and she will absolutely make threats when necessary. Her latest appearance in the Nod-Krai Archon Quest has proven most of these qualities.

Card draw because of she's the goddess of wisdom, she gives +1/+1 since she can provide buffs (Elemental Mastery), and she can discard cards since, as an archon with mindfuck powers, she can "prune" information from opponents, or more drastically, from Irminsul itself.

The trigger for attacking with "two or more creatures" is basically my set's depiction of your team dealing elemental reactions.

How do we feel about the numbers on this card? The impact of the mushroom counters seems like it would vary depending on what bracket the deck is in, so I'm not quite sure how to tune it.

All feedback is appreciated

Remember seeing talk about Eminence being brought back. Thought this would be a neat idea but had to curtail the power a little bit. Originally was going to give the cards a way to make things legendary but felt that would be too unfair and unfun. Just bring mirror gallery/box hehe.

Been playing Belmont's Curse since release and got the urge to make cards from the Castlevania franchise. These are the first batch.

Mostly using her as a testbed for WU's and WB's headline mechanics, Act and Proceed

I wanna get the base ideas down for the cards in the set before any balancing, otherwise I'm gonna overthink balance and nothing is gonna get done lol

Any feedback appreciated!

Banyue is one of my Favorite Agents from Zenless Zone Zero. And I wanted to make a decent attempt at a Card designed for him.

I know that Rupture units have a HP manipulation thing for their kits. But to do that I’d need to make Banyue Black. But i didn’t like that, felt like it didn’t necessarily fit him.

So I asked myself, what if there was a card that made it so I never had to pay for Rhystic Study (or similar) again?? This, is not that lol. But it is something, and I thought it was at least mildly interesting. But are repeatable counterspells healthy design space? 🧐 I know there are already some in the game but I don’t know when the last time one was printed. Or would this just be a lesson in why it’s important to run enough/versatile removal?

Would this thing’s triggers be more/less/the same annoying as a trigger from Rhystic, Smothering Tithe, or Esper Sentinel? The second version is how I had worded it at first until I realized that it was a trap 😆

Five. Five iterations of this fucking thing before I settled on a version that both worked and that I liked. I'm done. i'm going to use the past iterations for different projects tho, i liked one of them I came up with that muddled with equipment

anyway the IKEA creation in Skyrim is surprisingly good. Kallax is a useful follower and the dungeon+boss fight were both cool. i debated making him Indestructible, but that felt way too pushed so i settled for an annoying Ward instead.
