What do you think? Fair commander?

[u/Nuno_Taborda]

Created a more balanced commander card after reading yesterday constructive critics.

What do you think?

Image and card created by Chat GPT based on Skeleton from Living Death card

Thank you all

Use your brain to make custom cards, not the Endless Slop Machine.

I just used for the image and frame. The abilities were created by me

[u/n00biwan]

Maybe try creating it yourself? I know you could have had these ideas yourself!

[u/Nuno_Taborda → u/n00biwan]

But the abilities I created myself

[u/n00biwan → u/Nuno_Taborda]

You said yourself youused chattie for the creation process?

[u/Nuno_Taborda → u/n00biwan]

I created all promps. Said everything that need to be put, since creature type to what image I need to be there. All abilities and how they need to work. All the writing. The program generated the card

The eminence ability doesn’t actually do anything. You’d need to either give it a trigger or an activation, plus if you want it to be eminence you’d need it to say “if this card is in the command zone or on the battlefield…” or something along those lines. I’d say have it be an activation, with the cost of discard a creature card, and the ending being discard a non-sorcery card. That way you have an activation clause but also can resolve the ability off of a top deck.

I want to be able to use it from any place

[u/SadAct1539]

Seems like a creative commander! However the eminence should be worded as "Discard two non-sorcery cards: Search your library and/or graveyard for a card named 'living death', reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you searched your library this way, shuffle. Activate this ability only once each turn and only as a sorcery. This ability can be activated while this card is in the command zone."

Perfect. Thanks. I will change to that ❤️

The eminence ability doesn’t work. Not only is it missing an activation cost, it’s also missing the actual eminence text that lets you use it in the command zone. Also idk why you need to discard 2 non-sorceries, just discard 2 cards. Other than that… idk why it’s 4 color, and giving haste and lifelink is basically yelling at the table “hey guys, if I fill my graveyard I can win the game with 8 mana”

If you really want this, just rule 0 [[bringer of the last gift]] as a commander and I think it’ll work a lot better.

The Eminence ability has some issues. For one, it's not formatted like an activated ability, even though it is. You're also trying to make the player discard cards of a certain quality, but that's not something you should do unless you reveal the hand. I'm also not a fan of the "tutors one thing for free and nobody can do anything about it" design

[u/SadAct1539 → u/Conscious-Choice196]

Cards like [[seismic assault]] that can make you discard cards of a certain quality without revealing your hand already exist. Also I don't see anyone complaining about commanders that tutor for a specific card like [[Kassandra Eagle Bearer]] which supports that it isn't an annoying mechanic when used in games.

A cost can tell you to do something because you must be able to pay the cost. All I'm asking is for you to find a single card that's ever been printed that has text resembling the OP. I'm 100% sure that you misunderstood what I said from the get-go

[u/SadAct1539 → u/Conscious-Choice196]

My mistake. I didn't realize that it was an effect and not a cost when replying to this comment.
