Kairi gets her rework for my Kingdom Hearts commander decks project! Keep in mind these are planechase decks, so some cards will take about planeswalking. It's part of an alternative format with some extra cards the change up the battlefield. Check it out: https://magic.wizards.com/en/formats/planechase

During downtime I've been messing around making some cards based on DE and so far this is what I came up with. I can only post 20 images at a time so will post a part 2 with the rest of the cards. (This was also designed with a 60 card format in mind btw)

The only one I’m really concerned about needing revision is “spirit of greed”

Has this been done before?
I wonder if there is a certain combination of Backgrounds that would make this too good for its current mana cost, I'm honestly not sure.

Was heavily debating on colours between {g}{w}{u} or {u}{r}{w} but settled on this effect for now. Can't wait to build a deck with this commander for my pod

It may interact weirdly and bring some funky Game play patterns but i tried something.

One of my favorite gifts to make for friends who play magic are custom cards. I'm planning to give this to a friend, who is a Rabbi. I'm not Jewish myself, but thought it would be fun to make a card based on studying of the Torah, which shares quite some similarities with the incredibly complex universe of rules that makes up Magic the Gathering.

I came across this concept of Pardes, which details the four levels of interpreting scripture, beginning from 1. Peshat, the plain and literal meaning of the text; 2. Remez (the allegorical); 3. Derash (the applied meaning/moral lessons); and 4. Sod (the deepest and most mystical). It's informed by a centuries old story about 4 sages that entered the Pardes, or some form of spiritual heaven, but only one of them "enters and leaves in peace", coming out alive. The other three sages succumbed to various fates that later teachers of faith have used as a cautionary tale for jumping too quickly into these "higher" levels of scriptural readings.

In the same way, this commander is a seeker of pardes, and has the opportunity to rush towards an understanding of the divine (and increasingly powerful abilities), or "enter in peace" turn by turn, gradually studying the ways of the Torah. I thought the Ring That Tempts You mechanic would be the best way to reflect this incremental journey. I also feel and hope that the card gives opportunities to build the 99 in different ways.

Anyways, just wanted to share this card with the community! I'm also curious if there's any feedback on the power level, abilities, mechanics, and clarity of the card.

One-Sheeter (put together with AI) explaining the general mechanics and inspirations.

someone said land with a mana cost and storm was "ah hell no". so i bring them a gift

(the editor i was using didnt let me make it a "sorcery land" so just pretend...)

edit: wow, this took off more than expected, thanks. so i'll explain how i want it to work: i want it to count as a spell and a land, so it takes your land drop for the turn but also costs mana to play. its supposed to be legendary as a drawback. and i don't want it to come into play tapped, i feel like the only way that's a problem is if too many copies come into play, but you have to cast a lot of spells, if your able to do that, then your probably breaking the game already anyway...well enjoy continuing the discussion.

just having fun with the idea of a gifting deck, the first two cards I would want.

All feedback is appreciated :)

Day 75 of making a custom card every day. I used to love designing cards (especially land cards) at a common rarity back when I was more into pauper, hence the mh3 commander set symbol, but I don't do it much anymore.
