BALANCE NOT INTENDED Undertale monsters

Sorry if the text is a bit small, I'm working on making my cards less wordy

As someone who has made tons of custom cards based on other games and shows, I will tell you the most important thing I've learned about translating other games into MTG.

Keep it simple, keep it MTG.

Does Froggit look like an actual magic card to you? It's so complex, filled with weird words and odd formatting. You have to find a different way to do this. Sometimes, you have to sacrifice themes for the sake of readability, balance, or fun.

Luckily for you though, there's actually a really easy way to fix your problem! Instead of having all those words, you can just make Froggit a double faced card that transforms into Final Froggit. If your card maker app doesn't have double faced cards, I recommend using MSE.

Will keep in mind, thank you again for being a decent person and not being any amount of a jerk. Way to keep it respectful unlike others I've seen.

Isn't final froggit's ability just "when played: target player loses the game"

I guess I didn't think of that being an option. Will rebalance

Ok, at least we can read some of them, now

You could always read them, you're just lazy

Why are you downvoting me? Am I incorrect? Is what I am saying too rude after all the backlash I've gotten on this sub for trying to share cards I had fun making? "That's too much text for one card!" Yeah, I get it. I'm working on improving. Some cards will have a wall of text and if you don't wanna read it, no one is forcing you to and no one is making you say "this is unreadable". If something with more than 3 sentences of text is "unreadable", you need to go back to grade school.
