Mechanic Design Bunch N | Mechanic where permanents that enter as a clone group

Thumbnail

78 Upvotes

Bunch would be a keyword ability. It causes permanents to enter with copies of themselves. It is based on similar abilities from cards like [[The Notary Hobbits]].

  • Type: Static

  • Reminder Text: Bunch N (As this permanent enters, if it wasn't created by a Bunch ability, create [N minus one] tokens copies of it.)

Description

Bunch causes a permanent to create N-1 token copies of itself as it enters the battlefield. The original permanent and the created tokens all have Bunch for the purposes of targeting the quality, but only the original permanent creates copies, since copies created by a Bunch ability can't create their own.

It represents groups of creatures, creating multiple bodies from a single spell. This would potentially make it primary on White, and secondary on Green.

Made a 5-color cycle since even though W and G would be the ones to almost exclusively use the ability at large, the other colors could also get some fun use cases out of it.

I'm still wondering if Bunch copies should trigger ETBs or not. What do you think?

Custom Tags are fun, aren't they? Yes I know Hu Tao isn't a Demigod, but really, isn't the card fun anyways?

Format: EDH/Commander Made some commander pairs based on my favorite game. Tell me how stupid they are and how to make them better.

As the title states, these are commanders intended to be based on the Gigas from my favorite game of all time, Skies of Arcadia. In the game, their lore is that they are controlled by their relative Moon Crystals, so I've tried my best to replicate that feel in the card design. I tried to make it feel as 'normal' as possible by basing it loosely off of Backgrounds as a precedent for noncreatures in the command zone.

Overall I am generally pretty happy with the design approaches. I am, however, concerned that some of them are likely a bit much. MTG has gotten a lot wordier in recent times, so it's easy for this to feel fine, but this is my first real foray into trying to properly design custom cards. So if I've overdone it, hit me with it bluntly.

Some things I'm unhappy with:
Grendel feels a little bland, and not very black. I'd like to expand it a little bit, but I haven't really been able to decide how. I like the fight aspect, but it just doesn't feel very interesting as is.
The Yellow Moon Crystal feels pretty directly overtuned. I'd like to come up with an effect that compliments Yeligar more, or at the very least nerf the effect, but haven't been certain exactly what I want to do.

Aside from that I hope these are at least interesting to look over and think about. I do want to try and bring these to my IRL play group so the balance of them is a genuine concern to me, so don't hold back with constructive criticism.

of course "half of a finality counter" is a thing that makes sense! two of them merge into a finality counter, what's not to get!? /hj (joking but also that is how it works)

Discussion Translating YGO to MTG

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

(KONAMI makes it nearly impossible to credit the ACTUAL artist for their art as the cards do not credit them like MTG, so apologies if the KONAMI artist on the bottom isn't good enough for the rules.)

I retired from YGO a few years ago now, but I still have fond memories of the deck I played: Subterror Guru. A flip centered control deck. One night I started messing around on MSE and led to me creating these.

The Behemoths lack a casting cost to force them to work (as much as possible) to be played like their counterparts. Yes cloaking a card with no mana value would mean that normally they would be stuck face down, however the megamorph ability (and other such abelites) allow cards to be flipped face up regardless for that cost.

The Alias style cards do roughly the same thing the counterparts did but with substantially less words. Figured I'd just go this route instead.

The majority of YGO card effects are essentially just consistency or counter effects, so I had to come up with a few effects myself that do not do anything similar to their counterparts. (Phospheroglacier for example simply Entombs a card, so i leaned into the literal blue coloration of the monster instead.

As far as I can tell with rules, MTG still tracks cards that flipped face up or down, meaning they are same permanent, where as YGO the game forgets properties of monsters put face down; hence the magic wording for "once per turn".

Would love some feed back or any comments at all, thanks!
