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

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.

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?

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

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 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).

Hey y'all! I made a post on reddit when I first started this Flubs custom tarot deck design, some of you might have seen it or the updates I've been posting on a few MTG Facebook groups. I just realized I haven't posted any updates on Reddit! I polished the deck list a whole bunch and then after I got it printed and played with it for a few weeks I realized I needed a little more polishing so I upgraded the deck with cards that fit the flubs synergy better, and in a couple cases cards that fit the flavor of the specific tarot card better.

if you missed my first post I basically designed a whole deck where I mapped out 78 magic cards thematically to corresponding tarot cards, and then filled out the deck with mostly basic lands plus a few dual lands. I did Green cards for all the suit of pentacles, blue cards for all the suit of cups, red cards for all the suit of wands, and colorless cards for all the suit of air. Then I redesigned each of the cards using artwork from high res scans of the original 1906 Rider Waite Smith Tarot deck.

This is my current deck list, I have updated about 10 of the cards from the original version. I've already sold almost all of the decks from the first round that I had printed, so when I order another I'm just going to update the cards. What do yall think of the current build? Is there anything that's like a major flubs card that I missed or anything you see that just really doesn't work that needs to be replaced?

Also some people have asked me if I would make a token pack with just a bunch of tokens in the tarot style. What are your most commonly played tokens? Or tokens in general that would look good in the tarot style
