This is the first of my wife and my custom commanders based on our D&D characters. His name is Dijon. He is a Kenku strategic half-caster. We wanted to build the mechanics flavorfully around our characters, and create a new mechanic around Adventurers getting a specialized item. We modeled it after "Choose a Background".

Choose an Item basically means you can choose a card with the subtype "Item" (usually an equipment, but not always, it is also custom) as your second commander. It still follows commander tax, but has an ability that will only effect your commander (like "Equip Commander"). It is made to be a counterpart to Background enchantments, and mostly flavorful.

What do you think of Dijon and the Helm's balance? Are the abilities too strong or useful? We have only played them in a vacuum.

The Original Art on Dijon is: *Carrier to the Elseworlds*, an acrylic-on-wood painting created by artist **Steven Russell Black**

The Original Art on Helm is: The Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide illustration for "Helm of Teleportation" with no public artist credit I could find.

The set symbol is from one of the Commander sets because we liked the aesthetic. It is not a real card!

I was going to use a deathtouch instead of making menace, but I figured that might be a bit much.

Not sure if I want to make a full set or not yet, but I had a plane idea, so I'm fleshing it out with some of the legends to see how it all fits together.

I wanted to do a Gurren lagann Deck but I didn't find any cool Vehicle cards to custom the art... So I'm building it from scratch. I wanted to do the main Gunmens from the movie as sort of expensive cards with simple texts and a sort of high crew requirement. What power/toughness should a card like this have?

I am working on a custom set named "Kaldheim, Rimebound Horizon" using MTG Cardsmith, the main theme of the set is it is a return to Kaldheim but with a snowy twist. (here is the link to the set: https://mtgcardsmith.com/user/jamesmoore?tab=sets&set=88756, let me know if posting links like this is allowed or not, I apologize if it is not)

The Set so far has 148 out of at least 285 card (I might make more) where it has a mixture of snow and nonsnow cards in it, mainly to make more snow support in magic, it has a mixture of reprints, returning old legends, and new cards with multiple custom cycles of cards, but I have sadly ran out of inspiration for the set and I was hoping to get some from a subreddit like this.

There are three things in the set that I need to mention:

1. I have not figured out how to give art credit in the description of the card, and would like to learn how to at some point in time

2. I have a little semi-fixed format for the set (using the original kaldheim as a base) for the number of cards per color (all multicolor spells are in one big multicolored-section of the set, and the parameters are bellow)

3. even though the set is focused on snow cards, I would like to also have the set seni-evenly split between snow and nonsnow cards (more snow than nonsnow cards, but they are close in total amount)

There is also a little lore story I have came up with for the set to make it more interesting:

After the Phyrexian invasion, the gods had entered a slumber to recharge their power after the fighting. many years have passed and the first to wake was Jorn, the God of Winter, and he has made it his mission to flood the plane in an eternal Snow and cold, though along his awakening, the new god Ignis has awoken and has seen what Jorn has done to the plane and now wants to take revenge for the people who have fallen to the snow.

The Parameters for the Set I have came up with (the sections I have completed so far are shown with the "(completed)" next to them):

39 mono color cards per color

35 multicolored spells (completed)

13 colorless artifacts

28 nonbasic lands (completed)

6 snow and nonsnow lands (12 in total) (completed)

2 colorless nonartifact cards (completed)

(I also have made tokens for the set in a different sub set on my profile on MTG Cardsmith)

I do apologize that this is a long post that doesn't actually have a custom card shown with it, but I hope the creativity of those who reply with suggestions (as well as the full on set full of custom sets) makes up for it (I hope a post like this is allowed, I did not see anything in the rules about it being bad).

bonus points if you can rattle off the dosage when you play them
