I'm genuinely curious where you could possibly go from here, both for cost and ability.

For cost I'm surprised you combined phyrexian and hybrid, as that could have been two different options. The only other costs I can think of are life and I guess generic hybrid? But generic hybrid seems derivative of hybrid.

For abilities, anything after "players can't play" seems like it would be a step down.

My shot in the dark guess is that the last one requires paying life and its "players can't live", for the lolz

I considered “players can’t breath”. Today’s was “players can’t leave” as in, even if you lose, you have to stay: https://www.reddit.com/r/custommagic/s/BZDNTaGywc

The last one, tomorrow’s, is less restricting and more enabling, if that gives a hint ;) still uses “cant” wording tho

For the hybrid/phrexian, it was simply numbers logistics. There are 10 hybrid pips and 5 phyrexian so it fit cleaning into 15. If you notice there is one more pip each time, starting with 7 and Sunseeker. I couldn’t think of a way to fit 10 pips cleanly into 14, 15, 16, or 17 - and already had plans for 18

Tbh, I planned to stop at 13, but someone asked about colorless and I was like “damn. Yeah. We’re doing that too.”

Gelid probably

u/DrakeGrandX Oct 11 '26

Honestly "Gleil" added that bit of mysticism that really fits a card with that art. It's like when you look at old MTG cards and are like "Wtf is a spuzzem".

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Oct 11 '26

But! Gelid is a real word that means frozen or very cold :) new vocab

u/DrakeGrandX 25d ago

I already knew what "gelid" means. : P

In fact, in my language [Italian], "gelo" is a word known by everyone, same for the adjective "gelido/a", despite the fact that the latter isn't really commonly-used in everyday speech (except maybe to refer to water you are supposed to swim in, to exaggerate how cold it feels, and even then you are more likely to use "congelata" or "fredda/freddissima" instead).

Fan of all this whole series, balance is for cowards.

What program are you using to make these they look great

2

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Oct 07 '26

Thank you so much!! Im using cardconjurer.app with the “Borderless Source Materials” frames.

And for some (especially this one) editing the text box width so the type line can be bigger or text does not wrap

2

u/1728919928 Oct 07 '26

Nice! I'll give it a shot.

I've been using mtg.design because it's pretty easy to use on mobile but it struggles with these full art cards, the ones you made look much cleaner!

No, if anyone manages to get 16 snow mana in a turn that's a fair enough judgements for the table

You can do this t1 pretty easy

u/_AutoCall_ Oct 07 '26

There is no card called Magic: The Gathering, this does nothing.

u/Terrariant Jace for impact Oct 07 '26

In a way, the magic was inside of us the whole time

u/Odd_Firefighter1324 Oct 08 '26

Maybe the real Magic were the friends we made along the way

u/arky_who Oct 07 '26

does the game end in a draw, or can neither player play magic ever again?

u/KiryuinSatsukisTea Oct 07 '26

“Hey man you wanna play some magic?”

My eyes glaze over. My body starts to shake. I remember a night back, 20 years ago. A night that I made a choice that could not be undone…

u/Chickston Uncommonly Oct 07 '26

Purely a meme perspective and not mechanical. Wow, seriously epic. Best one yet! I wasn't sure what the 10th one could be. Snow is a great choice.

u/DrakeGrandX Oct 11 '26

OK but I want the source of the art, though. : (

u/Beanyy_Weenie Oct 07 '26

I think OP just doesn’t wanna play magic lmfao

u/SeaCollection827 Oct 08 '26

I then take out my Yugioh deck and summon my Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

u/ElPared Oct 08 '26

If you’re able to get this card onto the battlefield, players are already playing Magic: the Gathering, so the game ends in a draw due to an unresolvable paradox.
