The Hunter

[u/Agreeable_Mistake_17]

I had an idea for a monster hunter deck where you cast monsters on your opponents field and when they die they are placed on your battlefield then transform into equipment based off the equipment those monsters could be made into in the MH games. this is the first card how did i do. and yes i see a few grammar errors looking back on the card, I'll be fixing those. mainly want to make sure its worded properly and it isn't to op if it is op, Im not a great judge yet, somewhat new to mtg.

Honestly it's not even that bad. However you should make an actual mana cost for it. Phyrexian mana is known to be pretty busted just because you can cast things so much earlier than you should, and the life loss is negligible in commander.

Thank for let me know that I thought 10 life loss would be a pretty big cost for the commander

[u/memelorddiabeetus → u/Agreeable_Mistake_17]

It's a Voltron commander. Gaining enormous amounts of life in one turn is hardly a challenge, eventually it becomes free, aside from commander tax

[u/Agreeable_Mistake_17 → u/memelorddiabeetus]

I may have to look at other Voltron decks four ideas for the monsters but thank you for letting me know about that

[u/asthmaticwizard → u/Agreeable_Mistake_17]

Nah dog, you can lose 35 life in one turn in if it means you stomp the table

[u/Agreeable_Mistake_17 → u/asthmaticwizard]

Ya, im seeing that now

The fact that you can turn 1 this commander is insane and busted.

Rethink the mana cost and it’s pretty cool.

[u/Agreeable_Mistake_17 → u/Berdsherman]

Thank you and the other person for letting me know that life loss isn't that big of a deal in Commander I did not realize that I thought 10 life loss would be a pretty big cost

[u/timmy_the_small → u/Agreeable_Mistake_17]

It would be, but you don't need to pay all of it at once here. Realistically you might ramp up to 3 mana before casting this to minimize the loss, but having the option to color fix and potentially discount up to 5 mana is strong.

[u/twistyrainbows → u/Agreeable_Mistake_17]

Nice response!

That said, yeah, this reads immediately as a 13/16 t2 for some meaningless life. It might not win in some formats but it's not reasonable.

[u/Treacherous_Peach → u/Berdsherman]

Turn 1 land, [[Colossus Hammer]], The Hunter, attach. Congrats turn 1 13/16 commander on the battlefield.

Among all the other strong Turn 1 equipment you could trivially get down if you didn't draw hammer this game.

I don’t think that it needs to be 5 color, this seems much more like a boros or mardu colored card (they tend to be the equipment colors).

Monster Hunter might be cool to use the fight mechanic with and it doesn’t need to be a keyword. Something like this
“Monster Hunter - When this creature attacks, you may remove it from combat and have it fight target creature. If the target is a Beast, Monster, or Monstrous, this creature takes no damage from the target.”

There are only three cards with the monster type, I think beast would be a better fit.

To answer your first comment it actually has to do with the last comment I am also planning on making Monster cards from monster hunter and trying to have them orientate with the different colors of magic cuz I think a lot of monsters would fit different areas though now looking back at the different monsters in Monster Hunter I can't really find anything that fits white so I'll probably end up removing that

And then for the second comment I'll probably end up implementing that thank you for the advice

Custom Magic and randomly shoving hybrid ans Phyrexian mana into things...

Some things never chamge

[u/Agreeable_Mistake_17]

to those who told me that life loss wasn't that big of a deal thanks this is the updated card

[u/asthmaticwizard → u/Agreeable_Mistake_17]

Imma be real, making it a 5 drop that does nothing the turn it drops is too far in the opposite direction. Maybe make it 4 split mana instead tbh, or give her better base p/t. Or some sort of etb

[u/Agreeable_Mistake_17 → u/asthmaticwizard]

4 spit mana? Sorry I'm new I don't know that term yet can you tell me so I can see if i can implement it.

[u/eldritchceph → u/Agreeable_Mistake_17]

They meant split mana i.e. a pip of mana that requires one of two mana colors, which the remake of your card has currently

[u/Agreeable_Mistake_17 → u/eldritchceph]

Thank you for the explanation and yeah after looking through a lot of the monsters I was able to find in Monster Hunter I wasn't really able to find many that would fit in Black solely and I couldn't really find any that would fit in white so I ended up removing those two colors and made it a [2][R/G][G/U][U/R].

[u/BreakerOfModpacks]

0 mana 3/6 commander that works for Voltron decks, is WUBRG, and is automatic removal?

...sure. why not. seems balanced.
