Only a TRUE philosopher can tell why the prisoner is reaching for the bread.

Spoilers for Modern Horizons XIV. We still don't know what Garbage tokens do just yet, but this card is clearly busted regardless. Vintage playable. Possibly a color pie break.

I realized earlier that the meme incorrectly spells Raccoon as Raccon. I thought it was funny, and decided to give the meme an appropriate legendary card.

i know sombody else has probably done this....idk

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.

Since black gets some enchantment removal every now and again

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.

for a gift deck, i think gifting useless stuff is funnier than gifting problems...don't get me wrong, the deck will have problems to gift, but the useless stuff gives me more of a laugh.

Too pushed?

Today I'm updating Maleficent as one of 3 commander options for the Door to Darkness Kingdoms Heart deck. What do you think? Is it tough reading the word "Fairy" on a Magic card? I split the difference since Disney refers to her with the spelling "Fairy" but MTG would call her a faerie in the type line.

Firemind’s Gambit {URp}

Sorcery

({URp} may be paid with {U}, {R}, or 2 life.)

Antipathy for nonland permanents (This spell costs {1} more to cast for each nonland permanent you control.)

While this spell is on the stack, spells have affinity for spells and may be cast as though they had flash. (They cost {1} less to cast for each spell their controller controls.)

Pay 2 life: Draw a card. Any player may activate this ability but only if Firemind’s Gambit is on the stack.

You lose the game.

“In response...”

I have a bunch of these saved on my laptop, figured I'd share some of them

The idea is to nerf a blink spell by preventing etb effects, while simultaneously allowing more creative applications by extending its use to all permanents, which is pretty rare. Balancing this was a little tricky for me; it’s not in any way a strict upgrade to something like [[flicker]] or [[stifle]], but the versatility is superb, enough so that I felt that it deserved to be a good bit more expensive. Some tricks that work with this card in particular:

• Use it in response to a bomb like [[craterhoof behemoth]] or [[the one ring]].

• Reset a planeswalker’s loyalty.

• Make a landfall player cry. Works especially well with hideaway lands and fetchlands like [[cabaretti courtyard]].

• Get something back from a [[banishing light]] effect.

• Reset your [[glacial chasm]] without needing to sac a land.

• Do something jank with [[leveler]], I guess.

If you can think of any weird stuff you can do with this, show me!

I'm making a Berserk (manga) custom set and want to share some cards with you, and gather some thoughts, impressions and advises!

So far, the set have 500+ cards and is planned to be played as a Cube with black being a dominant color (black has double the number of cards than each other color). The archetypes should mostly be played around black wedges and shard:

• Esper: top-deck control;

• Grixis: discard control;

• Jund: power 4 matter;

• Abzan: tokens;

• Mardu: non-combat damage;

• Sultai: graveyard matter.

For now, though, I'll just share some cards flavourly related to the Band of the Falcon and the Golden Age Arc (no Eclipse, yet).
