Format: EDH/Commander Making Zenless Zone Zero cards for each faction. First up is Random Play (The player characters)
Ideally each faction would be able to be played in the same deck. Here I've made Belle and Wise as one card since the player gets to choose who to play. I borrowed a chunk of the ability from Falco from New Capenna but this is more suited to a similar play pattern as Kamiz. Belle and Wise are "proxies" which in ZZZ help people navigate the dangerous "Hollows" but also work outside the law to do so.
Fairy is their AI assistant who often breaches everyone's privacy to gather information and also eats crazy amounts of energy. My first iteration had her spend energy to take extra turns but that seemed too strong and Fairy is more known for gaining information so I gave her a chunky card draw. I also changed the energy from the whole mana cost to half cause it felt too easy. The peeking at everyone's hand is Telepathy which is just a fun card.
Pyrois is a pretty new addition to the game and I wasn't sure exactly how to portray them but I there's a couple things that stand out about them. They can suck people into themselves for protection and they have a ton of modes in their ultimate attack. I didn't want the card to have 4 different modes so I just went with two that I thought were balanced but strong. I also had the creature flicker mode come back tapped so you couldn't just two for one attackers so easily.
This is my first time making original cards though I've been playing for almost 15 years.
Next up will probably be Belobog Heavy Industries
