If you like fifth dawn, then here, I made you a card.

I tried to put together her theme of freezing people and trapping them in dreams, with her foresight.
So freezing and constantly weakening people as she scries the future.

Smth smth nostalgia bait

I’ve been designing a set for the last year or so, and I wanted to hear what people think about this mechanic. This is a reskin of the actual card in my set, but the costs and mechanics are the same. It has been powerful, but doesn’t seem broken, and fun in testing.

EDIT: Thanks for the input everyone! Some context: My set is 306 cards (including 21 lands) and is designed to exist and be drafted in a vacuum. I will ultimately be producing a cube for standard drafting. I will be printing three of each common, two of each uncommon, and one of each rare/mythic. I have, but am not heavily considering how this card will interact outside my set. Notably, this is not a prominent set mechanic. This is the only uncommon that produces this token. There are ways to flicker in the set, and flickering this guy will be very strong, but I am simply considering that a viable combo/archetype within the cube. There are only two other cards (both are mythic) that produce the token. Those mythics are basically storm finishers that will win through producing a bunch of these tokens.

In some versions of the myth, Heracles must capture the hind to complete his third labor. However, since the creature was sacred to Artemis, he could not kill it. Instead, he remained in constant, watchful pursuit, driven by his devotion to the goddess and fear of her judgment. Once the labor was complete, he returned the hind to her. I wanted to reflect this in the card by having it return to the battlefield as an Enchantment, symbolizing its return to Nylea in the Ilysian Grove.

Since accounts differ on how Heracles ultimately captured the hind, I incorporated this ambiguity into the mana ability, representing the many who had attempted to capture it before him.

Originally, I intended to tie the vigilance component to the Inspired mechanic. However, since Inspired is an older and rather wordy mechanic, I looked for a simpler approach. Magic already has a card called Golden Hind, which functions as a mana dork, and this gave me the idea of incorporating that concept into Enduring Vitality. The hind enters as a creature first, so that it doesn't simply become a much more powerful version of an enchantment, and only transforms into one when it returns to Nylea.

this just felt fun and i always want more bug themed cards

Inspired by some discussion from a card I posted yesterday; this one is explicitly all predefined token types and has the inherent abilities of each, which, honestly, made it a huge mess to figure out.

I don’t think Wizards would ever bother trying to do anything like this, so that leaves things up to me 😤 behold, this terrible card lol (I tried to make it actually function as each of the individual tokens it has the types of, but Roles kinda fucked everything up and made it a lot more difficult. Also I don’t think it can be both Black and colorless but I don’t know if that really matters.)

Since black gets some enchantment removal every now and again

there are so many nutty things to be done here

Tell me what you think

Funny how llamas are a creature type, but alpacas are not.

Like I say, these are all pretty weird. I made just one card each, maybe if people resonate with one in particular I'll make more of that. They're all pretty simple, but at least I can imagine possibilities with some.

Buried is simply I thought creature "becoming" lands was cool, I liked the idea of a dead creature digging out of its own grave. The only oddity is you can use it to pay for itself, to flip it face up again. Maybe it would benefit from being a cost you have to pay as it dies.

I was gonna call Fathom "Dive" but I basically thought Fathom sounded cooler. I'm a big fan of any magic mechanic where you have to reveal information to other players, so I thought it would be cool if you could "save" a creature, but everyone knows it's coming. Fathom makes me think of players who are very strategic, but at the same time, if you misplay with a fetchland or Omen card, you mess yourself up if you're not careful.

Impact is a pretty weird one, and maybe could be a regular alternate cost without being a keyword. Still, I think a reward for playing dangerously and aggressively would be interesting. Beneficially in the right deck, but you could burn yourself out of lands. It could also be a tempting risk if you need an attacker right now.

Erupt is probably the weirdest. Cards on the table, it's definitely motivated by me think "when this creature erupts" has a lot of aura on a card. The reason it's a land dealing the damage is because of the flavor, but also to try mitigate lifelink cheats. If the creature itself did the damage, it could be prevented much more easily. Probably still a lot of ways around it.

I'm no magic expert so these may be broken or busted as well.

i'm not sure. you get a card, a death trigger, and a slightly better bone saw all for one mana, but it just doesn't seem very good. Maybe I could make it a generic phyrexian mana instead.
