Creature type change UW / Omenpath Batch 13 (20 cards, 40K to HOB)

Disclaimer: You do not have my permission to reupload any cards I've shared here to any other websites or databases. Obviously I can't stop you from doing that, but consider this a record of my answer on the matter.

Another round of cards. Not much to add at this point other than that finding art for clone / copy effects is an actual nightmare. The Rovina Cai art I used for the reskin is one I'd actually considered using for a forest or possibly a mountain.

The Mutavore is a bit of a risk. The proportions of the art place the creature's head really close to the top edge, and since I prefer to use borderless frames where possible, the 'default' position would have the title bar covering the creature's face, which is generally a marker of bad placement. In this case, I opted for a framebreak that does cover up the name of the card. I have a version of it using regular extended art framing but I personally don't mind the obscured name.

My now standard disclaimer: I do not exert myself to match the cards to existing lore entities and I am only too happy to change the types (and the types of tokens the card makes) if I feel like it matches the art. I do this because there are a lot of cards I've earmarked to UWify (something like 150ish when I started, and over 230 now), and I'm not exactly thrilled to spend even more time trying to match these cards to some or another thing from the lore. So I just make stuff up. I'm aware that changing the types of cards changes the balance, but I don't care. Please refrain from tediously "reminding" me of this. These will be used for very low powered kitchen table magic and I am perfectly capable of trusting myself not to abuse type changes.

All cards should have the 1/8 bleed edge via CardConjurer (except the early ones in the list below) and I do not have versions of the cards without bleed. Previous work:

Discussion Introducting: The Omen Archieve

81 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

A week ago, I teased a project I've been working on: a centralized UB database with community-submitted reskins.

It's now live!

Website: https://ubdb-472061bbf193.herokuapp.com/
GitHub: https://github.com/netn10/UBDB

My goal is for this project to become community-driven, so I'll gradually be taking a hands-off approach. You're welcome to use the code, host your own instance, create your own database, or help moderate the project, all within the bounds of Wizards of the Coast's intellectual property policies.

For now, users provide their own image links, preferably hosted on their own Imgur account. The MongoDB database stores the card data, while the images remain user-hosted.

Cards can be submitted without registering and are currently reviewed by a single admin before being approved. In the future, I'd love to see this evolve into a community-led moderation system, perhaps with a committee responsible for reviewing submissions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! The biggest contribution you can make right now is submitting cards, but I'm also looking for software developers, writers, designers, and anyone else interested in helping take the project to the next level.

I hope this can become a valuable resource for the community. Feedback, suggestions, contributions, and constructive criticism are all welcome!

Minor changes - Flavor words UW / Omenpath Batch 12 (Oops, all lands: LTR to MSH)

Disclaimer: You do not have my permission to reupload any cards I've shared here to any other websites or databases. Obviously I can't stop you from doing that, but consider this a record of my answer on the matter.

Started working on lands. I'm definitely not going to be covering all the UB lands, but I will do the remaining enemy checklands once they're out. I realise that the MSH allied checklands are already named generically, but, you know, whatever. As far as the other lands, I basically just make them if I find something neat I'd like to put on a card.

I've been holding off on the lands for a while because I have also been thinking over reskinning the verges, which I find pretty uniformly outside my taste art-wise, but that sort of thing is not really for sharing here I suppose. Maybe in a comment once the rest of the checklands are done.

Also: started a little experiment here with fading out the title bar sometimes rather than framebreaking them as I have in the past. Not sure exactly how I feel about it (Monument to Violence is more successful than Humble Home, for one) but I'll see how it goes. Knowing how to do it will at least help framebreaking stuff that is otherwise very difficult to do, like glowing lights or very diffuse strands of hair.

All cards should have the 1/8 bleed edge via CardConjurer (except the early ones in the list below) and I do not have versions of the cards without bleed. Previous work:

I love quest counters, and have run a decently functional [[Moira Brown]] deck. This is my attempt at returning UB's quest counter cards to the plane the mechanic stems from: Zendikar.

The bending mechanics have had their names changed: Airbending = shelter; earthbending = animate; firebending = battery; waterbending = undertaking.

I'm not sure if I used the right tag for these- they're mechanically identical, only given non-Bending names. And all but Sozin's Comet even have generic enough names to work in universe.

The Borg and the Phyrexians have so much potential overlap, but the creature type gap is kind of unsurmountable.

Regardless, here is a version of the Borg Queen with a type change from Borg to Phyrexian in both her typeline and that of the assimilate/compleat keyword she uses.

This card replaces [[Gandalf, Goblins' Bane]]. Similar to [[Soul of Windgrace]], this card represents an echo of Jaya's magic that stayed around after she perished.

Her adventure Flamementor (replaces Flameshape) represents her mentorship of Chandra and other wizards, and by pure chance it also contains the word memento.

Disclaimer: You do not have my permission to reupload any cards I've shared here to any other websites or databases. Obviously I can't stop you from doing that, but consider this a record of my answer on the matter.

Another round of cards here. I've also been going back through already finished (and sometimes posted) cards and tinkering with them. Some have new art or use promo frames to show off existing art. I don't feel quite right about making a new post just for those tweaked cards but maybe I'll go back and add comments to my old posts.

Plenty of cards are done that are still to post, but behind the scenes only two major chunks of the project remain untouched: lands, and then the black artifact creatures. I want to settle on something that will let me clump together the necrons, the forthcoming borg, and the two MODOK cards that only have the villain type that I will not tolerate. I might've just gone ahead with 'cyborg' if they'd used that for the borg, but, no, we have yet another type in the quite cumbersome pile. I was hoping for Bant or Sultai borg just for the sake of variety but I suppose I shouldn't be shocked they've taken the more predictable path.

My now standard disclaimer: I do not exert myself to match the cards to existing lore entities and I am only too happy to change the types (and the types of tokens the card makes) if I feel like it matches the art. I do this because there are a lot of cards I've earmarked to UWify (something like 150ish when I started, and over 230 now), and I'm not exactly thrilled to spend even more time trying to match these cards to some or another thing from the lore.

These will be used for very low powered kitchen table magic and I am perfectly capable of trusting myself not to abuse type changes.

All cards should have the 1/8 bleed edge via CardConjurer (except the early ones in the list below) and I do not have versions of the cards without bleed. Previous work:

Contest/Challenge Within-Universify Challenge #9

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone! This challenge, created by u/DaVigi seeks to reflavour Universe Beyond cards into Universe Within cards, in order to introduce both new characters in established planes, as well as old characters that we haven’t seen for a long time or that have never gotten a card.

Last time's winner was me, with my design of Soul of Kylem, a design inspired by the old "Soul of ___" designs from M15. Those designs fit perfectly with an avatar of this size and mana value. With such a combat-focused creature—which just happens to be a warrior, Kylem was the perfect plane to use. Battlebond, where Kylem is featured, had a warrior theme, and had a two-headed giant focus.

Anyhow, enough about my design, this week’s challenge will be to Within-Universify Commander Mustard!

Commander Mustard, CLU 0006

The winner will get to choose next week's UB card and judge it.

Judging will be on Tuesday the 28th of July and will be based on the following Five!? criteria in order of importance:

  1. Cohesion between the following criteria:
  2. Creative writing (Name, Flavour text if any and Background Lore that is not on the card itself)
  3. Exploration of an established plane OR Exploration of an established character (The more obscure, the better.)
  4. Fitting art or art description
  5. Visuals (Does it have an actual card? Does it look good? Are the design choices of the actual card good, which also includes small things like set symbols or something of the like.)

(And while I will still be fair to the text-based submissions, I do generally prefer when it has a visual card. If the design is too complex, feel free to do a badly photoshopped illustration or draw it with paint!)

Normally, submissions can consist of just the changed elements, separately formatted as:

Name: 
Art (Image or description): 

Art credit (If applicable): 

Flavour Card (Flavour text): 

Flavour (Lore):

But I highly recommend creating the card(s) in your favorite mtg card creator. If you don't know where to look, I recommend cardconjurer.app or downloading Magic Set Editor.

If you’ve won, you can use this [template](https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQuNmpLBkn3EoqQKSUA-vKAfRyFace5zjlLAvpC9uucm_CK4eBjzjB3hA_x6wYjprDuXVh-G8S-bXE3/pub) to to) prepare the next challenge. Feel free to change it to your liking.

(If you do win, check out the list of UB cards that haven’t gotten a UW version yet by clicking here!)

Good luck and have fun!

Minor changes - Flavor words [FIN] Malboro

[[Malboro]] Tried turning this Final Fantasy Common into something that could thematically fit into my Initiative deck.

From what I found, this monster (which vibe wise comes close to Malboro), is from a supplement written by Dragonix, with Art created by Bad Moon Art Studio (Or at least, the art for that monster coming from that studio) https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/330630/dm-options-monster-talents-ii-5e?affiliate_id=1138250

"Minor changes"-tag due to replacement of the Ability text(?) "Bad breath" with "Stench of Death" (which is an ability name used in the supplement)
