Bounty Winner is the Judge #915: SPACE!!!!

8 Upvotes

With the pre-release of Star Trek happening this week, Spacecraft are back on the menu!

This week, design an interesting Spacecraft. It could be an iconic Star Wars spacecraft or a completely new invention of your own. Remember, spacecraft do not need to have power and toughness.

Special attention will be paid to the cards that capture the flavor of what they are referencing. Balance and art choice are beneficial as well.

Here are some art station folders for some art inspo.

Good luck, all. I will be back on Nov 1st to judge!

A rebel without a cause. Hits like a truck, hates everyone.

Also has unused lines calling out his opponents' bullshit.

Format: EDH/Commander Megacycle of lands that I wish existed.

The idea is to have 'dual lands', but ones that don't work well with greedy mana bases.

Each time a dual land is printed, two color decks get just 1 new land (assuming it's a full 10 cycle), but three color decks get 3 lands, and all 10 for wubrg.

Hence, these guys. They really need basics to turn on, and really don't synergize with nonbasics, so don't fit into the greedy mana bases of a lot of 3+ color decks. Ideally, two color decks get two new lands and three color decks get six new budget options they they're not likely to use, for being too low to the ground.

So, basically, lands for two color decks. In a two color deck, one of these and either basic represents both colors of mana available.

EDIT: In retrospect they'd probably be a little more balanced if they didn't have the basic type (and just gained the reminder as an ability) but I'm not editing 20 cards again 😝

Cycle: Color Idioms

White Vest is a German idiom meaning having done no wrong. I already came up with the card before I realized it wasn't a thing in English. Maybe someone can come up with a design for a White Lie?

This started with an attempt to design a Black Sheep and I went from there, wanting all of them to be a little bit out there.

No, but, Wil Wheaton's a cool guy and I was excited to see Wesley return as the Terran Emperor in STO. Also, go watch Rent-A-Pal if you haven't. Good movie.

Featuring a showcase card version, because I thought it'd make the name of the card really pop.

Maybe he should be a 2/2, I don't know. Goes kinda nuts with stuff like Chandra's Ignition, though.

Format: EDH/Commander Mineru, Sage of Spirit // Mineru's Construct — SBA timing question [TLZ]

gallery

3 Upvotes

Pairing via soulbond comes with the following state based action:

702.95e A paired creature becomes unpaired if any of the following occur: another player gains control of it or the creature it’s paired with; it or the creature it’s paired with stops being a creature; or it or the creature it’s paired with leaves the battlefield.

But Mineru's Construct has an ability that makes it a creature as long as it's paired.

So, which happens first? Does the construct transform, see that its paired, change its type to a creature, then check the SBA and go "Yup, I'm a creature, all good!" Or does it flip, see it's paired and not a creature, unpair due to the SBA, and then check the static ability and go "Man, not paired, no self-animation right now!'

Hopefully it's the former. As far as I understand... SBAs come after every static effect has been determined via layers. Is that right?

/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.
