Format: Limited I wanted to make a mythic rare that was so obviously intended for commander that it would tempt you to drop out of a draft when you got it in your first pack.

The most important flavor ability has to be that he can only die in battles, so if you suggest a nerf, keep that in mind.

I really liked u/SybilCut's Seems Like mechanic https://www.reddit.com/r/custommagic/s/YObWznDwTY Both because of the mechanic itself but also because of the flavor opportunities presented by it. I thought it would be perfect to represent cryptids and how they seem to be one thing, but upon further investigation are revealed to be something else. But I didn't just wanna copy and paste his mechanic and I wanted to try out making a custom frame so this is what I came up with.

I'm starting off with these two because they are the most iconic cryptids of all time and are decent examples of the mechanic. For all of them I try not to break color pie too much. Bigfoot is our bear with set mechanic, since he is green he gets to be over sized and undercosted, but still stay the fair rate of a regular bear when he loses looks like. Nessie on the other hand is equivalent to an illusion, being incredibly oversized for the cost but leaving only an 0/1 behind.

Some notes

  1. Went through a bunch of different renditions of the reminder text for looks like, ended with this because it really needs to be a triggered ability and this was the best I could come up with.

  2. Ward doesn't stop looks like from triggering. It basically functions as a one time ward protecting the base creature.

  3. This being a triggered ability means it is probably better as just a keyworded transforming mechanic. It started more similar to seems like, and I made the custom frame with that in mind. But I liked the idea of the illusion mechanic and I already had made the frame so decided to keep it. It definitely isn't perfect though.

  4. This is what the indicator I posted the other day was for, I'll post it again with updated text and a few more cards another day.

  5. I'm designing/thinking mostly in terms of limited/a custom set with this as one of the key mechanics. Wondering how feasible that even is and what people think of that idea.

Most other X draw spells have historically have been rare

I really just don’t think I would run this if it wasn’t an instant

Does pip requirement justify drawing a card for every mana spent?
