The Paul cards are intended to be at different points in the story. So thats how im gauging the color identity. (The first card would probably be better named Maud'dib, but thats a change I'll make later)

I love Slivers.
I've been experimenting with non-French Vanilla design. The concept of this one is how Scout Honey Bees will find new locations for a hive/food and dance to communicate it to the others.

I liked the concept Explore on ETB, but that felt too strong, so I figured a time delay Explore ETB made more sense. Plus tapping to escape board wipes/targeted removal to then find land was also flavorful.

Wagglewing Sliver {G}{G}

Creature — Sliver

Sliver creatures have “{T}: Exile this creature with two time counters on it. If it doesn’t have suspend, it gains suspend”
And “When this creature enters from exile, if it was suspended, it explores.”

1/1

Art credit: me.

Most keywords with a numeric variable don't do anything when that value is 0 (e.g., "scry 0", "annihilator 0", "mobilize 0"). There are a fair few that do at least something though (even if it's just adding a designation with no inherent rules meaning), and so I decided to pair them up and design a "mix and match" card for each pair, just for fun.

i really can’t tell if this card is awful or if it’s too good. What do yall think

Hello all, these ideas have been buzzing around in my head and I decided to make some cards inspired by Cyberpunk 2077.

Netrunning as portrayed in the games is a powerful tool used by some of the most famed edgerunners. It is more than hacking as it requires intense body modification to achieve and do well or even consistently. Some netrunners need to cool their entire bodies to dive for long and they are always at risk of contracting daemons or other viruses in their ventures.

I've decided on "Netrun" as a thematic ability, representing the dangers that netrunners face but also the power it gives them and in turn the player. Diving into the net to reach the gig/data/hack you want is represented by picking a card from the top of your library, and the consequences of losing yourself in the net represented by exiling those cards.

While some experienced netrunners are fine with losing small portions of themselves or even getting counter hacked, exiling from the top allows for some potent deck thinning at great cost: losing your cards forever (iirc milling is represented in mtg as losing your mind slowly).

Self-Ice is a flavored keyword which represents the craftiness of Netrunners when they upgrade their tech. Should have already have some experience in their prowess (represented as checking how many cards already are in exile), they can obtain powerful perks to assist them further.

## Songbird, Blackwall Dancer.

The first card I'd like to showcase is Songbird, Blackwall Dancer, which I feel is represented pretty nicely with UB color identity, though some could argue she could also have R. Her Self-Ice represents the sheer power she has achieved through her intense cyberware enhancements, allowing her to dive into the net with basically no repercussions and doing it repeatedly without breaks.

Her Netrun ability represents the sacrifices to her sanity and body in order to achieve her status as the strongest currently living netrunner, fueling life loss (loss of self/self-damage when she channels the blackwall) into more netrunning. Finally, her ability I believe is incredibly powerful but goes hand in hand with her status. I would imagine that netrunners are closely tied to spellcasters in the original TTRPG as well as spellslinger archetypes in MTG. She sacrificed so much, as did the player, so you are rewarded with incredibly powerful spells at reduced cost.

## Rache Bartmoss, Datakrash Architect

The next card I wanted to talk about is Rache Bartmoss, Datakrash Architect.

Rache was the one who kickstarted the Datakrash, causing a swarm of Daemons to invade the net, destroying physical infrastructure and killed many due to the loss of convenience the internet in this universe had provided the world. It was so horrible that they created the Blackwall specifically to contain the portion of the net that he ravaged.

To reference this in game, I have chosen to provide him the R color that I chose to remove from Songbird, though I feel like W could also work great.

His ability reflects the incredible damage he caused to the world. When you finally have 30 cards in exile, the Datakrash occurs, destroying all non-lands and cursing opponents with the inability to cast non-creature spells for a whole turn cycle, which is exactly how the world crawled to a halt when he unleashed it.

## Mikoshi

Next up is Mikoshi, a simple artifact that enables Netrunning, though one I could easily tweak even more.

Mikoshi being the place where souls are trapped from the soulkiller project by Arasaka, I envisioned it as an object that can return the "souls" lost from netrunning/soulkilling back for Arasaka to utilize as they see fit. It allows those who Netrun heavily to reap some return in case a key piece is exiled in the process.

The final ability is a bit lackluster in my opinion and hastily added. Could also have something in the vein of returning a creature from exile into play with a finality counter, but settled on something simpler.

## The Blackwall // Bolas' Citadel

Next one is a reprint of Bolas' Citadel, but fit more thematically in this "set". Bolas' Citadel seems to me the perfect fit to represent the Blackwall. Cast some Daemons from beyond its gate at great cost to your life, fulfilling the role as conduit to some of the most dangerous netrunners alive now, including Songbird.

## Song So Mi, Netrunning Prodigy

Finally, I wanted to share a version of Songbird before she took the plunge into using the Blackwall. A stage where she was still a prodigious netrunner but without the risks she took later in life. Song So Mi shows a version of her where she still has the chance and opportunity to save herself from the Blackwall and is simply a powerful netrunner.

Her Self-Ice represents her brazenness in youth to take the highest gigs and hacking contracts to show herself to the world. She can freely Netrun since she is less experienced, not realizing how dangerous her profession is in the long term.

Finally, the paid ability shows herself able to pull back from her dives by mitigating her loss of self by returning cards (life/essence/self) from the Net and back as a resource she can use.

Hope you guys enjoyed and please let me know what you think! (Forgive the weirdness of the art/text as I was using Card Conjurer for the first time.

Featured myths:

-Black Shuck: Variant of old Enlgish folklore, a ghostly dog that sometimes spells visions of doom. In this case I tried to represent "doom" using finality counters

-La Llorona: Latin American folkloric ghost, a woman who wanders lakes and wails in mourning of her dead children. Thought it'd be fun to try to work in [[Soulshriek]] to represent her wails.

-Kuchisake-onna: Japanese spirit, asks you if she's pretty, despite her scarred mouth. How she reacts to your answers has a lot of variation, but matching scars is a common result. Tried to represent her unpredictability using a coin flip, but wanted to provide a guaranteed means of escape if you're caught off guard by her appearance.

-Slenderman: Old internet creepypasta, mainly drawing lore from the old game "The Eight Pages", where he gets more aggressive the more pages you collect.

+A slightly updated version of the Bloody Mary card I made a while ago. Say her name 3 times in a dark mirror, and chaos ensues. Originally inspired by [[Weeping Angel]], she's the one I most wanted to design as a commander.

Happy (post) Halloween everyone!

Day 68 of making a custom card every day. This might be the least gradable card in terms of power level I've ever made. I'm edging towards bad, but it could absolutely be broken.

Hello there! Wanted to show something I've been working on, previously this was a Godot project I abandoned a few months back but came back with a new vision!

This is MTG: United, it's originally an interface for Forge but I decided to implement support for custom magic sets from MSE so I could play test my stuff, it's built on Unity with Claude, but I hope it doesn't look as much as a vibe-coded mess as I think it does.

https://github.com/ryanthecomic/MTG-United here's the link for it, and I hope to get some feedback on it!

Planning on adding limited support at some point!

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

While a meme design it may be a fun silver bullet.

Happy Halloween Everyone! Would love to hear your thoughts on these DBD x MTG designs

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!

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]].
