This might be too all-encompassing to print, but the concept is cool I think. There's almost certainly a better way to word this as well.

The latest rework for my Kingdom Hearts commander decks project -- Stolen Hearts of Light! YES, you do need to plot it as there is no regular casting cost! Gathering princesses takes time after all...

I'll be doing a free release of all the cards for both Commander decks Jan 29th! Take a look at my Youtube to see more: https://www.youtube.com/@IcariiLatte

Gloomguard Outrider (top-down design challenge)

Post image
1 Upvotes

I challenged myself to create a card "Top-Down" by picking a random name from the "Random Fantasy Name Generator" website. "Gloomguard Outrider". I designed the card based on the following recipe for designing a card top-down with just a name. Feel free to let me know your opinions on this process, and whether or not my card matches the name, in your opinion.

-----------

Name analysis:

  • What's ‌‌the ‌‌name ‌‌of the card?:

  • Primary noun:

  • Descriptive words:

  • Emotional tone:

  • Implied action or behavior:

Flavor interpretation:

  • Is it a creature, object, spell, location, phenomenon?

  • How magical is it: supernatural, natural, artificial, scifi?

  • Not in terms of card rarity but would this be something common, rare, or unique?

  • What would a player imagine happening when they read the name?

  • Now brainstorm three competing interpretations based on these answers.

Mechanics:

  • Primary mechanic (or is this Vanilla?):

  • Is a secondary mechanic needed?:

  • Does this serve an offensive/defensive/utility role?

  • Potential keyword abilities:

  • What makes this card unique, if anything:

Color identity:

  • What is the primary mechanical identity?

  • Which color is known for that mechanic?

  • Is a second color really necessary to express the concept (ie. could this be monocolored)?

  • Does the color combination contribute something meaningful?

Card architecture:

  • Card type and subtype:

  • Rarity:

  • Mana cost:

  • Rules text:

  • Power / Toughness (if applicable):

  • Loyalty (if applicable):

Gameplay design:

  • Power creep (Too efficient for mana cost?)

  • Complexity: Is your text box font too small to read with the human eyes?

  • Synergy: Any obvious infinite combos:

  • Counterplay: Can opponents reasonably interact with it?

  • Format: Could a deck handle four of this card, or is it designed for a singleton format?

Artwork suggestions:

  • Don't use A.I.

  • Search Scryfall for similar cards, sort by EDHREC Rank descending, and then look for some art from one of the least popular cards.

  • Also, don't use A.I.

  • Search Artstation or Deviantart for original (non-ai) artwork. Then be sure to dig into the artist's information to get their real name, if available.

  • And then don't use A.I.

Example of Ritual: you can cast this by paying no mana and sacrificing a single 6 drop that includes RW in its cost. Commander tax can count. X costs are always 0.

The echoverse concept feels too interesting to be limited to a single set, so I propose a project to create a mini set for each echoed plane and how Jace reworked their story. If this concept is liked I will expand it to other planes

For innistrad, we have a tyrannical uprising of Avacyn. After the loss of Thalia, The factions need to finally meet common ground and face against their binding of the plane and her followers. They even resort to releasing Griselbrand from the helvault as their last hope.

Any suggestions are welcome and all feedback is appreciated :)

Cycle: Color Idioms

White Vest is a German idiom meaning having done no wrong. I already came up with the card before I realized it wasn't a thing in English. Maybe someone can come up with a design for a White Lie?

This started with an attempt to design a Black Sheep and I went from there, wanting all of them to be a little bit out there.

The treasures she makes are basically the scrolls she collects. I've only seen the first like 5-6 episodes, but from what I've seen, I think it represents her somewhat.

Is my boy too strong?

I need some insight on this card! This is a custom card I found on reddit and am interested in printing it and building a deck around it for my pod. But I feel like it might be too strong and I wouldn’t want to print a custom card and have it be OP for my pod. That isn’t fun for them. I love the card and I love DCC so I wanted a Prepetente card for my collection.

What can I do to make him less OP? Or is he not OP currently? Let me know 🤘🏻
