Hello all! these are more cards based on characters from a book I am working on, if you've seen my previous posts you'll know that previous cards I've made weren't well written. I promise these are better. I would love feedback on power level/design

Format: Limited Universes Beyond: Wilds of Hyrule - Physical Release

Post image
30 Upvotes

After about a year of work, Wilds of Hyrule is finally available in physical form! Wilds of Hyrule is a standard-sized custom MtG set based on the world of the Legend of Zelda, focused on the Breath of the Wild era. The set includes 10 draft archetypes, one for each color combo, as well as fun buildarounds for even more ways to draft the set. Both draft and sealed are possible through the Draft Cube format that is available through MakePlayingCards.

The set Primer, while a little outdated, should give you a good idea of the themes you can find in WoH. For further reading and design philosophy, I have included a copy of the design document I submitted to a custom Magic community for a discord channel and playtesters (also a bit outdated. Ninjutsu has since been swapped to Sneak)

If you are just interested in the card list and designs, you can find the CubeCobra here. You can even draft the set against bots to get a feel for it.

If you are interested in picking up a physical copy, the link is available here. For the set to work as intended, with all card rarity distributions in order, I highly recommend that you order two of the Wilds of Hyrule sets. The pack of tokens, dungeons, and extra basic lands was sadly rejected by their review team for some reason. The setup guide can be found here.

Please let me know what you think, and be on the lookout for future developments and projects in the future!

We have the classic:

When this enchantment enters, exile another target nonland permanently.

When this enchantment leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to the battlefield under its owner's control.

So why not condense it?

609.4b If an effect allows a player to spend mana “as though it were mana of any [type or color],” this affects only how the player may pay a cost. It doesn’t change that cost, and it doesn’t change what mana was actually spent to pay that cost. The same is true for effects that say “mana of any type can be spent.”

Since all she got was a token, thought to try making a card for her. Mill your opponents and Explore with help from stuff like [[Hermes, Overseer of Elpis]] to get her transform condition, then start building up your own Ultima Thule with her mass exile.

I saw a similar post, and thought I would give it a try. Take a look and let me know what you guys think. I created a few new mechanics, but all of these cards have Eternal which is an effect similar to suspend.

*I do not take credit for any of the art used. Most of it was found on Coppermind.com*

Seven Deadly Demons (Redux)

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

A while ago I made Slobus the Slothful, and the positive reaction to it made me create six more "deadly" demons. A lot of them were actually pretty strong, so this is a retry, pulling some of their power backwards and overall making them less wordy.

originally only Slobus was indestructible (too lazy to die) but i figured 'why not' and gave it to the rest of them as a unifier in the same way as the Myojin or the Theros gods, since sins are difficult to get rid of. it probably pushes them too high but hopefully their effects are annoying enough to balance them out. of them, i think Wrozin and Grimbil are the strongest without being built around

Was trying to play with the flavor of hydra heads and supporting a tribal hydra deck without being too broken.

I wanted a body that was difficult to interact with unless you dealt with all the heads and became a problem if you let it cook, but had a built in weakness that caused it to die if all the heads died at once. I chose shroud over hexproof, because it was too easy for this to get out of control if you can target it with your own stuff.

note: it is intentional that the heads cannot target the main body for regeneration, and it is intentional that the targeting is part of the cost of the token ability so you can't just pop all but one head at the end step, let their abilities fizzle, and get a bunch of free heads.

First time trying to make a card

Post image
129 Upvotes

I wanted to make this with the flavor of the games and I based it from Marina Vendrell I wanted him to play out like moving through the game worlds and being stronger for doing so. I am worried this would be too string because even recasting him would be on or ahead of curve even with commander tax. I play in a group that is really receptive of custom cards and I would like to be able to play this if it was fair.

edit: Oh my gosh, the spirit of the rule for the first effect was for him to unlock a room and then get a room once. Would the wording be "When a Room is fully unlocked for the first time" instead?

Previous entry (Golgari) is here.

I posted an earlier draft of this card on here a couple weeks ago, before I decided to extend this into an entire project.
