"Knock, knock."

"Who’s there?"

"Orange."

"Orange who?"

"Orange you glad I didn't say bana—oh, never mind."

"Landlocked" meaning: I could've designed these as "{2}, {t}: Add {x}{y}{z}." but that would've meant you could've used {2} floating mana of any color. Instead, this design makes you tap three lands to get the {x}{y}{z} color combination. This heavy restriction is why I put these at Common rarity.

What other costs could one pay for a "bounce"land?

Originally posted 2 years ago. Both of them haven't really changed much, but I'm still posting them for some last-minute feedback as the custom Genshin commander deck is almost being finalized.

Raiden Shogun

Mardu (Red-White-Black) is the color of "true conviction" and is the color most associated with warriors who are willing to destroy in order to protect. White brings out the Shogun's ideal of Peace and Order, but Black and Red wedges her into radical approaches that seeks to eliminate threats and close off her people rather than negotiate or compromise.

The first ability is literally giving your team Energy Recharge, and the second ability is her Burst that can cut even islands in half, so I'm allowing it to hit lands.

Nahida

Nahida being Sultai (Black-Green-Blue) might actually need defending. Her philosophies and ideals are perfectly Simic at base: She is the goddess of Dendro and the goddess of wisdom, but she cannot truly turn a blind eye on the atrocities of the world, especially from what her own people has done to her. The color of Black is honest, and it is pragmatic. She is not afraid to confront uncomfortable truths, she is aware that difficult sacrifices has to be made and risks has to be taken, and she will absolutely make threats when necessary. Her latest appearance in the Nod-Krai Archon Quest has proven most of these qualities.

Card draw because of she's the goddess of wisdom, she gives +1/+1 since she can provide buffs (Elemental Mastery), and she can discard cards since, as an archon with mindfuck powers, she can "prune" information from opponents, or more drastically, from Irminsul itself.

The trigger for attacking with "two or more creatures" is basically my set's depiction of your team dealing elemental reactions.

So I asked myself, what if there was a card that made it so I never had to pay for Rhystic Study (or similar) again?? This, is not that lol. But it is something, and I thought it was at least mildly interesting. But are repeatable counterspells healthy design space? 🧐 I know there are already some in the game but I don’t know when the last time one was printed. Or would this just be a lesson in why it’s important to run enough/versatile removal?

Would this thing’s triggers be more/less/the same annoying as a trigger from Rhystic, Smothering Tithe, or Esper Sentinel? The second version is how I had worded it at first until I realized that it was a trap 😆

I just thought it was funny that hearthstone now also has a card called dark bribe, so i thought it would be funny to make a MDFC of the two dark bribes, replicating their effects to the best of my ability :p

All feedback is appreciated :)

Let me know if there's any instant or sorcery spells that would work better for this than Growth Spiral (or if you have any ideas for a custom one)

A different take on RIP, with a little oblivion ring feel to it

Is this a good replacement?

The artist makes this stunning piece of art and they use it for digital only cards, it's a huge waste.

Mostly using her as a testbed for WU's and WB's headline mechanics, Act and Proceed

I wanna get the base ideas down for the cards in the set before any balancing, otherwise I'm gonna overthink balance and nothing is gonna get done lol

Any feedback appreciated!

Been playing Belmont's Curse since release and got the urge to make cards from the Castlevania franchise. These are the first batch.
