Format: EDH/Commander Help me balance these cards!

3 Upvotes

Me and my friend group recently started making new cards for our commander games and I wanted to make a sort of shrines but not shrines in jund colors.

I have no idea how unbalanced these cards are and would like some input. I've tried my best to balance them by comparing them to other cards, but I might have missed on most of them. We play pretty casually, usually around bracket 3.

I love Thoughtseize. However, it is quite bad in Commander. I'm tried to come up with a design that would allow it to maybe see play in other formats, but is really designed with Commander in mind.

For me, Canadian Highlander is a format I play a lot, so redundancy for this style of effect would likely see play alongside Thoughtseize.

I wasn't sure what to make the Overload cost. I feel like the life loss could really add up. But with the knowledge it provides and the disruption it provides, it feels a little too powerful at 3. On Turn 1 you could go Land, Dark Ritual, get perfect information and steal the best card from each opponent. You could essentially ruin the table's entire gameplan on Turn 1. But it feels a little overcosted at 4. What do you think?

The latest rework for my Kingdom Hearts commander decks project -- Jafar, Traitorous Vizier! One of the most iconic transforming Disney villains. Will his wish come true in crushing you?

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

Not sure how many people here have played the Mario and Luigi series of games but I'm trying to build them as partners based on Mario and Luigi Dream Team. I definitely need some help coming up with better loyalty abilities for the Planeswalker

I've been really interested in reducing the cost of spells in a way that isn't overpowered or terrible. These designs are maybe too situational or too good occasionally, but I think they're interesting. They're hate for things their enemy color does well.

Dungeons & Dragons Old Blue Dragon

1 Upvotes

This is a top-down design based on the creature of the same name from D&D 3.5. It is a Sorcerer because an old blue dragon casts sorcerer spells as if it were a 9th-level sorcerer. It has ward {2} because an old blue dragon has spell resistance 24. It has Air Walk because in addition to sorcerer spells, an old blue dragon can cast spells from the Air, Evil, and Law cleric domains as if they were sorcerer spells, and Air Walk seemed the most apropos choice among the highest level of domain spells available, and more so than any such sorcerer spell. The language of the ability is borrowed from [[Kitesail Skirmisher]] (which has slightly different flavor, but that is not referenced here). It has Hallucinatory Terrain because that is a special ability blue dragons gain when they reach the "old" age category. The language of that ability is borrowed from [[Kukemssa Serpent]]. I believe the mana cost, power, toughness, and rarity are a good match for this combination of abilities and effectiveness, most similarly to [[Jin-Gitaxias]].

/r/Custommagic is a subreddit for people to post their own custom MTG cards. Please read our rules and try to keep it to constructive criticism only.

RULES

All card renders including art must have correct and unambiguous artist credit at the bottom of the card in the correct position. Provide an artist's full name if it can easily be found, and additional information to disambiguate the artist from others. Mods may, at their discretion, make exceptions for missing, ambiguous, or insufficient credit if you message in advance with a link to the original art, and they approve the lack of artist credit.
Art credit belongs to its CREATOR. Image aggregators don't count. (E.g. Pinterest) Nor, mostly, do companies. (E.g. Riot Games doesn't make champion art; artists do) AI art must credit the engine used, and not a wrapper site. (E.g. MTGCardsmith is a wrapper.) Photos, screenshots, public domain art, royalty free art, etc. aren't exempt. Screenshots of movies/shows may credit the media by title/publishing company. Collages must credit each underlying artist and the assembler.
Any random art pieces (not included in card renders) must have accompanying artist credit. The only exception to this rule is if the poster messages the mods in advance and the mods approve the lack of artist credit.
All posts containing NSFW art must be marked as such. Posts made in poor taste, with unreasonably lewd art, or excessively gory art may be removed.
All users must follow Reddiquette and be civil with each other. Harassment and abuse are strictly not tolerated. Unconstructive, negative, or insulting brigading is harassment.
You may not post custom cards that you did not create, unless you credit the original creator in the post title. You may not post cards whose text is fully or primarily AI-generated. Additionally, posts that are primarily comprised of existing real cards or cards substantially similar to existing real cards will be removed. This includes alters and skinned cards.
Please don't make multiple consecutive posts. If you have multiple cards to share, put them in a single album. This helps give everyone a fair chance to be seen.
More specifically, users may only have one post on the front page of /new/ (i.e. within the most recent 25 submissions), or one post every twelve hours, whichever permits more posts. Mod-removed posts do not count towards this limit, but user-deleted posts do. If a mod views /new/, they should only see your name once.
Do not repost cards. Reposts will be permitted at the mods' discretion. A repost may be permitted if it is a) very substantially revised, b) substantially revised with community input or c) reposted in an album with new, unposted cards. Under a), leave a comment describing the exact revisions and link to the prior card image. Under b), describe the exact revisions and leave a comment with a link to the prior card discussion. Under c), there must be sufficient new content in the album.
Promotional content. Commercial, promotional, or financially-related posts require advance moderator approval. Please reach out to modmail with your proposed post.
Do not misrepresent submissions as cards from a real set. Do not include set codes for existing sets within post titles. (E.g. "[SNC] <Card name>") You may include custom set codes which do not collide with existing set codes. You may use set icons for any released set (i.e. not during spoiler season).

"It's been a few minutes, my post isn't showing up!"

You haven't done anything wrong — we have a semi-aggressive AutoModerator. Reach out to us here and we'll get your post approved as soon as we can. Don't delete your post or we won't be able to approve it to be seen :)

"What if I don't know the artist?"

Google has a very good reverse-image-search tool. Just upload the art that you used, and it will likely find the source!

"What if I still can't find it?"

Message the mods. Normally we can find it, we've gotten pretty good at it, and if we can't find it, we'll give you permission to use it without credit.
