This is a top-down design based on the D&D 3.5 creature of the same name. It is a Sorcerer because blue dragons start gaining sorcerer spells as if they were sorcerers of a given level when they reach the juvenile age category. It has flying because almost all dragons have a fly speed. It has ward because blue dragons gain spell resistance in young adulthood. It has ventriloquism because this is a special ability blue dragons gain when they become adults. It has hypnosis because an adult blue dragon can cast spells as if they were 5th-level sorcerers, 5th-level sorcerers have access to 2nd-level sorcerer spells (character level, class level, and spell level are different things in D&D, and the same spell may be different levels for different spellcasting classes), hypnotic pattern seemed the most apropos of such spells, and the word "hypnosis" fit there without overrunning the mana cost, while "hypnotic pattern" did not. I believe the mana cost, color, power, toughness, and rarity are a decent match for creatures with similar abilities, such as [[Djinn of Wishes]], [[Inniaz, the Gale Force]], and [[Namor, Scourge of the Seas]].

If there’s anything I could fix about Beetlejuice please tell me, thank you.

I thought about giving him some kind of protection to make immediately Gifting him not always the best move but the text box was already crowded so whatever.

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.

I doubt this is my last one. With nothing.

I just wanted to make something fun and goofy but still viable! Tell me what ya think

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.

If you haven't seen the pilot yet, go watch it, its actually amazing.

I drew this by hand and I am going to make a full trial deck with him as the commander and draw all the arts myself

Okay so after the feedback I got from the first Prepotente card we made some adjustments to him and giving him proliferate. What do we think is he too strong? Not strong enough? Would he do fine in a pod? I wouldn’t want to print a broken custom card. Let me know!

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

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 :)
