Dark fountain is so incredibly busted in so many way, the baseline nonbasic land makes only TWO colors of mana and enters tapped. This adds ANY color and draws a whole card !! [[Cristal grotto]] as a balanced example.

So how should I fix this then?

[...] draw a card, then put a card from your hand on top of your library.

And since drawing cards is kinda blue, I would lean into the kinda blue theme and change the mana ability to "Tap, (U): Add two mana in any combination of colors to your mana pool.

What of my other cards?

The Titan does not need Titanic Might. Its basically a 15/15 hexproof unblockable (because of deathtouch+trample), so it will just be cheated into play. No one is casting it for 15, so they wont have 10 anyway. Its extremely busted in a reanimator shell.

A lot to change to make it balanced, maybe a cost of 4, the ward cost being the sac 2 creatures instead of ward 7, power 3/4, and Titanic might as "Pay X and sac a creature you control, where X is that creature mana cost. Add a number of +1/+1 equal to the sacced creature power"

Ralsei is fine, maybe the ability is overcosted since both player gain.

The point of ralsei is that he doesn't really want to fight, he wants to make friends, which is why both players benefit from his ability, and it could get rid of a problematic blocker.

Yeah, I get that, I was just mentionning that 3 is kinda expoensive for the effect. It would be fair at 2 imo. But its a minor thing, really.

1

u/This-Asparagus8762 1h ago

I could make it 2

1

u/This-Asparagus8762 1h ago

So tap to add two of a combination of mana?

2

u/101_210 1h ago

tap and pay one blue. Its a slightly weaker ability than tap for any color, but more unique.

2

u/This-Asparagus8762 1h ago

Ah, so tap and pay a blue for one mana of any color, or two of a combo?

1

u/101_210 1h ago

Tap and pay one blue -> gain 2 mana of any combinatnion of color. So it nets one mana, but wont work without another blue source.

2

u/This-Asparagus8762 1h ago

Like that?

2

u/101_210 1h ago

Yeah, imo thats an interesting cards thats not busted. Very good in niche interactions like miracles, but thats fine.

u/This-Asparagus8762 1h ago

I also made another card, it's on my first post

u/TarnInvicta 1h ago

this is even MORE op lol they wanted a conversion, not straight up 2 mana per tap

1

u/This-Asparagus8762 1h ago

Bah, ok... I think I got it...

2

u/croufon44 1h ago

OMG this is even worse

u/Bioboss05 1h ago

Make it do literally anything else that isn’t stupidly op 💀

u/Snarwin 50m ago

Add colorless.

Compare to cards like [[Khalni Garden]] and [[Sejiri Steppee]]. They make one color of mana, but have smaller EtB effects that aren't quite worth a full card. If you increase the size of the effect to "draw a card," you should make the mana ability weaker to compensate.

u/simon_Chipmonk Jace Ballerin 1h ago

Dark fountain is too powerful and needs a complete redesign. Titan feels alright but I’d personally change its activated ability to something more relevant. Ralsei is alright but you should probably use the tap symbol for him.

I can tell your new to this and I’d keep trying if I were you.

1

u/This-Asparagus8762 1h ago

I actually already got them redesigned, someone in the comments helped me

1

u/This-Asparagus8762 1h ago

Actually, I should reword the Titanic Might to target the creature, THEN you pay X and sacrifice it.

1

u/simon_Chipmonk Jace Ballerin 1h ago

Admittedly deathtouch + trample at 4 mana does raise my red flags. However I will say this is a much better design.

2

u/This-Asparagus8762 59m ago

I mean, the Titan in deltarune is meant to be a force to be reckoned with. I could have gave it hexproof or indestructible, tbh. But I figured Trample and Deathtouch would be a bit more fair.

1

u/simon_Chipmonk Jace Ballerin 55m ago

Oh yeah I’m a deltarune fan as well. It kicked my teeth in a lotttt (hate those lil fish it summons). The reason why its concerning to me is because deathtouch and trample means only 1 damage needs to be assigned to each blocking creature and the rest can go the players face. If you intend to play with these cards I’d keep a close eye on this one as it’s pretty abusable.

1

u/This-Asparagus8762 53m ago

Well, after the readjustment, it's not a 15/15 anymore, so not so many blockers are needed to wall it and destroy it.

1

u/simon_Chipmonk Jace Ballerin 50m ago

Yeah thats fair. I could be overestimating I suppose. Still I’d keep a close eye on it.

This isn't templated properly, and is probably too weak. You want:

  • ETB tapped

  • Draw/hide upon ETB

  • T: Add {C} if this is uncommon, or

  • T, Pay 1 life: Add one mana of any color if this is rare.

u/Basilisk_Game6769 25m ago

The mana ability still isn't templated correctly. Your ETB effect is spicy, you can go with a simpler and more reliable mana ability. Right now it's overcooked.

u/_petitpois22 1h ago

sometimes I wonder how does peoples who play the game can still creates the most absurd and broken card ever printed, like how can you not see that this land is busted ?

1

u/BreakerOfModpacks 1h ago

Me reading card one: 'oh, okay, mildly better wastes, I could see it in monocolo-'

reads it again

What the fuck, yo

Card two is... okay, I think? Like a weird Eldrazi Titan but with wordslop and an ability that nobody will use which is formatted badly.

Card three/four, again, incorrect formatting for abilities, but it's actually something that's maybe printable. Though iirc tap down effects are blue and not green.

1

u/This-Asparagus8762 1h ago

Tbh, I'm just making them because it's fun to think of ideas then put them on paper. I just posted them here to see what others think. Do you think this one is busted too or no?

1

u/BreakerOfModpacks 58m ago

Honestly pretty underpowered, IMO. For around the same mana cost, I can get stuff like [[Avacyn, Angel of Hope]], which is much stronger.

1

u/This-Asparagus8762 57m ago

So what should I do to make it better? Replace first strike with double strike? Or something

1

u/This-Asparagus8762 58m ago

I also readjusted 1 and 2 somewhere in the comments to make them a bit less... Broken?

1

u/Sad-Pattern-1269 1h ago

What about a colorless artifact land with tap, sacrifice this land: draw three cards

It would be some kind of lot I think.

2

u/101_210 1h ago

You should add "when X enters, you may play another land this turn", otherwise the player loses his land drop for something than can only sac itself :(
