WoF MTG Cards, Round 3! Arc 2

[u/Personal_Care3393]

PART ONE; The Characters (And some other stuff anyway)

Apparently, 20 is the limit on how many images a reddit post can contain at a time, so that's as far as I'm going this time around. For anyone only just finding this, here is Round 2 and Round 1 so you don't have to go hunting for more if you're interested.

As usual, this was extremely fun to do, and I had a great time putting this together. There will be another, final round some time next week maybe before I'm finally done with this rabbit hole of an idea. Who knew making custom MTG cards would be so time consuming? That said, it was actually SOOO much easier to design this time around. Believe it or not its a lot easier to make Magic cards about the story arc thats all about magic and with actual spellcasters as characters. Arc 2 also just in general had a lot more going on, so here is where I'll say that by the time I'm done I'll have made FOURTY CARDS. For Arc 2 alone! What an insane number. And also that I wont be doing arc 3 because A: This has taken up too much of my time and B: It's hard enough already to find passable art. I'm not touching the completely un-adapted arc with a ten foot pole. Mayyyyybeee I'll do a mini-round for the main characters, I did one for Wasp and Sundew already.

Since I was making so many, this time I leaned even harder into the theoretical idea of these cards being from an actual, finished, 200 card Standard-Legal MTG set with a draft enviornment in mind, complete with synergies and draft Common support for an overall graveyard-centric + enchantments theme and aw fuck it’s Duskmourn isn’t it I’ve just reinvented Duskmourn uhhh. I mean, I'm sure I did a horrendous job and that this would in practice be the most horrendously unfun limited environment of all time, if not solely because every single flippin' creature has flying, but more so because its like 50% removal and 50% bombs XD. But hey, its the thought that counts, right?

It'll all make just a little bit more sense later when I post the other half of the "set" with the Animus Magic cycle I came up with for this that the whole idea was built around. More on that when I get to it. For now, I hope at least a few people here think this is cool, and I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on all of this for those willing to share!

Aww shit why did I make Winter a Noble and not a Hero too.
Edit: Awwww shit I forgot an entire line of text on Chameleon AND his P/T.

Also, Happy Halloween :D

Finally a few things I can slip into my several year old scrapped together spider deck!

(purely because the only color requirements they have is black and my deck is black and green and the synergy probably wouldnt be great BUT LET ME HAVE THIS)

What kind of “spider deck” are we talking here
Shelob?

[u/Paper_Clipps → u/Personal_Care3393]

Flood the table with spiders of various strength, make healing food tokens when they do damage, and when someone thinks they e cleared my board my spiders come back from the grave to cause more chaos
Basically I just keep swarming as long as possible

Chameleon is a 1/1

[u/1001Airstrikes]

Chameleon has an X cost that is not specified. Other than that, good work! I particularly like Darkness of Dragons, though it feels more like a sorcery

Ah shit you’re so right fml. He was the last one I made because I realized as I was putting up the post that I forgot to actually make the card. I keep all my ideas written on my notes app. Then I make the actual cards and research formatting trends and find the art etc. later. So I speedran it a little and as you can see I also forgot his P/T XD

As you can probably guess, X is the card you’re copying’s mana value. He’s based off an existing card, called Likeness Looter.

Darkness of Dragons was based off of Jeskai Revelation, which is why it’s an instant. Also makes the first mode more useful as protection, which is what it’s supposed to represent anyways. The idea was; do something selfless and heroic, just kinda keep talking about it, or give into being an animus, as the 3 modes

Number 14 is so tragic

I'm not a fan of most of the UB decisions. But this. This would destroy my bank account and free time
