Re: MTG - You Make The Card VIII: Escape - Exile 7 MTG topics to create this thread
Alrighty, judging time. I'm going to be trying to look at these by how well they'd play within their given tribes, as well as whether or not they're an appropriate effect for their colours. Let's get into it!
Spoiler: Quiddle's Kari and Ragavan, Thieving DuoSo, off the bat, a fun idea to have a Pirate lord be Kari and Ragavan. 3/4 Menace for 4 is ok, nothing to write home about, so we'll need to look at the abilities. And... This is very strong. Your opponent is forced to choose between being fatesealed for 2 or ramping and giving an anthem boost. The trigger is an attack trigger rather than a damage one, too, so there's a very real threat of being pumped immediately. I'm not going to focus very heavily on limited, but this being only at Rare is insane for limited, I'd hate to be facing this on curve.
Looking at the abilities, Fatesealing has only ever been in blue, and only very sparingly at that. It's rightly recognised as an anti-fun mechanic as it can just outright lock your opponent out of the game. Tying it to an easily repeatable game action means that you can just keep on sculpting your opponents draws and prevent them from playing. The opponent can choose to not be fatesealed, but the alternative is to ramp and fix you and give a permanent pump to, at a minimum, Kari and Ragavan. The fact the treasure comes in untapped is also a big deal as it enables a lot of combat tricks/fast mana style uses. There are going to be times you swing Kari and Ragavan into certain death just for that attack trigger. This just honestly seems like an exceptionally strong creature and I don't like how few opportunities your opponent has to interact with the attack trigger, or the fact it opens up fatesealing to Red.
Spoiler: mystic1110's Underworld OverlordThis seems like a strong Assassin/Rogue payoff. Realistically, probably just a Rogue payoff. There aren't that many Assassins running around. 4 mana 2/3 Deathtouch Menace is a bit on the weak side. It's nice that you can take out both blockers, but you're probably not getting blocked, and 4 mana for a 2/3 deathtouch blocker means you really need to be blocking something huge to be making your mana back. So it's gonna come down to its abilities.
First, a quick templating note, the second ability should read 'Whenever a Creature or Planeswalker an opponent controls with a bounty counter on it is dealt damage, destroy it. When you do, that permanent's owner loses 2 life, you gain 2 life, and you draw a card." As it's worded at the moment, there's no provision for if the creature/walker is indestructible, and nothing happens if a Planeswalker dies with a bounty counter on it (you also don't have a way on the card to put a bounty counter on a Planeswalker, but there are enough Rogues with flash, and enough Planeswalkers that become creatures, that I can see it happening). The drain and draw effects are also just worded a little messily.
The first ability should also be slightly re-templated (and this is just me being a grammar nerd). You can use Harmonic Sliver as an example here. It should read 'Assassins and Rogues you control have "[Ability]"'
So on to the actual functioning of the card. I like this take on a tribal payoff. Bounty Counters have existed on the odd card here and there, and this is a nice way to continue the theme of them. Having any damage kill the creature/walker they're on might be a bit on the stronger side, but the bounty counters won't do anything if the Overlord isn't on the field, and we've had creatures that grant deathtouch to spells/ways to give deathtouch to boards before, and this isn't very far removed from that. Nice design!
Spoiler: ben-zayb's ArchaeoraptorSo I'm a big prehistory nerd.Which means you automatically win, congrats!Which means I'm always happy to see more dinosaur cards. This is, sadly, a bird payoff and not a dinosaur payoff, so I'll curb my enthusiasm a bit.
A 6 mana Serra Angel is pretty meh. A 6 mana Serra Angel with the potential to turn the rest of your board into Serra Angels is interesting. Having this as the top curve of a flying deck seems like it'd be pretty good. A deck full of cheaper birds becomes pretty fearsome when this drops. Beyond that, it's a very simple card. The buff will be most noticeable if you're using lots of smaller birds, much less so if you're using more expensive ones. Not much else to say!
Spoiler: Bucky's Squad FlankerFor a common, this guy's doing a lot. First, it's a little odd to see an Elf in mono-white. Not beyond the realm of possibility, Selesnya and Shadowmoor/Eventide both have mono-white elves, and I think Streets of New Capenna has a few as well, but still notable.
A french vanilla bear with upside is solid for a common. Having vigilance with the tap ability is nice, and I appreciate you specifying another Soldier needs to be involved before you can target something. Keeps it from effectively being a 3/2. The complexity may be a little on the high side for a Common, but I don't know if it's enough to warrant a bump to Uncommon. Having multiple of these is where it starts to make combat get messy, blocking and attacking become far more difficult if there are two or three of these down, and I think with that I'd probably say this should be Uncommon for the sake of Limited.
I do like this design, though. A nice simple early creature that rewards having a Soldier sub-theme.
Spoiler: Tom the Mime's Breathless OneThis is a tricky one to evaluate. Tapping/Untapping stuff is a nice effect to have for getting blockers through/maximising mana/denying mana. It may be a bit on the strong side given you can untap your own lands, and there's probably an infinite combo in that somewhere. With that in mind, it might be worth having it be either opponent's permanents, or non-land permanents. The P/T being equal to all Merfolk probably will mostly just mean equal to your Merfolk. They're not usually the splashiest of the tribes (pun not intended), unlike Elves/Zombies/Clerics/Wizards/Goblins, all of which regularly show up even outside of tribal decks.
I think Breathless One would be pretty well played within Merfolk decks, at worst you can effectively give your Merfolk a 1 mana discount (potentially more if using mana rocks/lands that add more than 1 mana), and that's not a bad floor to have.
Spoiler: Dr.Gunsforhands' Sisters of the SenateThis is a pretty interesting design. The colour identity is strange, I don't know that there's much that's green in it, but I can see an argument for it and it doesn't really matter from a mechanics perspective beyond how hard it is to cast (which, thanks to the hybrid mana, is actually pretty easy).
5 Mana for three flying 2/4's with deathtouch (and possibly some anthem buffs on top of that, though none of the three types are well-represented at present) is a good rate. It's difficult to attack past, it's a reasonable threat in the air, and if you can find a way to re-cast the Sisters (or even just cast a second copy), they start to get even stronger. I'd probably bump that up to Mythic for limited balance reasons, it'd be pretty miserable to run into someone running multiple copies in a draft, though I think it'd get first picked often enough that you'd have to have it as pick 1 or 2's to be able to do so.
Spoiler: Ok, but who won
Spoiler: Third PlaceIn third is Bucky's Squad Flanker. I do think it should probably be at Uncommon for complexity/Limited reasons, but leaving that aside the design is clean and can be used without investing entirely into the tribe. Simple designs work well for lower rarities!
Spoiler: Second PlaceIn second is Tom the Mime's Breathless One. It's hard to evaluate in a vacuum, but it seems like it has the potential to be a neat combo piece. The tapping/untapping is the main draw of the card, but it's nice that it also scales with the board. The main thing keeping it from the top spot is that it is just difficult for me to evaluate whether the lack of limitations on what can/can't be tapped is too strong or not, but I do like it.
Spoiler: First PlaceIn first is mystic's Underworld Overlord! I like the design a lot, the backwards compatability with existing Bounty Counters is nice, and having it for a tribe without too much support is also a nice thing to do. It also allows for a different direction to the mill theme for Rogues introduced in Zendikar Rising. Congratulations!Last edited by Comissar; 2023-02-25 at 12:17 PM.

As it is now you cast this - if opponent pays the life, can you pay it also to get it back and can they pay it again? If so, feels like the powers and life might need to be toned down to balance it.

Re: MTG - You Make The Card VIII: Escape - Exile 7 MTG topics to create this thread
Thanks for the win!
Speaking of winning, poison is an alternate win condition that's in vogue at the moment, but the trouble is poison often feels very all or nothing. Mill is often the same way. Corrupted and the 'opponent's graveyard matters' cards of Zendikar Rising help keep them from feeling quite so all or nothing and let you splash a little bit of it into otherwise more straightforward decks, so here's the challenge!
Design a modal card that is stronger if you're playing with an alternate win condition, but doesn't directly advance that win condition (existing examples would be things like Apostle of Invasion or Anticognition)

Re: MTG - You Make The Card VIII: Escape - Exile 7 MTG topics to create this thread
Judging time! I'm going to be judging cards based on their modes and their relative strengths, ideally you want your modal card to be slightly weaker than an equivalently costed card if its conditions aren't met, but stronger if they are, but also on whether the card would have a home in a deck that is only playing a small amount of the alt-win condition. Let's get into it.
Spoiler: Bucky's Victory ParadeSo this is a very literal interpretation of the challenge. A note on templating, unless your intent is to exclude instants and sorceries that reference winning the game, rather than 'abilities containing "Win the Game"', it should be 'text boxes containing "Win the Game"' as 'Win the Game' is itself not an ability keyword. There's not much precedent for referring to text boxes, but there is a non-acorn Unfinity card that provides an example of looking at text boxes as a whole (Exchange of Words).
For the card itself, the floor is a 2/2 first striker for WW that gains you one life. This is fine as a floor. Not very exciting, but fine. There are currently 39 cards in magic with that phrase in their text box, of these 4 are un-cards, and a further 6 don't actually make you win (instead they're Platinum Angel style effects). So that leaves 29 cards that function as alternate win conditions. I think the most likely place you'd see this would be a laboratory maniac deck where your goal is to mill as fast as possible, letting you get the upper limit for X fairly high. However, I'm not sure how useful it'd be in such a deck as they're usually focused on milling as fast as possible. It could work in an approach control deck, it seems more likely to have a home there as it works to stall the board, gaining life while it does, and letting you get closer to resolving Approach. It feels like that's realistically the only deck it'd have a home in that isn't purely dedicated to an alt-win con too.
I'm also unsure on whether or not I'd consider this to be a modal card or not. I suppose an X cost does provide some modality in more of a sliding scale than the A-B modality I had in mind, but that sliding scale feels fairly limited.
Spoiler: Dr.Gunsforhands Yorion's LoonletPretty clear which alt win-condition you have in mind here. At a floor, a Storm Crow that lets you scry is unexciting, but functional. The option to draw a card off a larger than normal deck is a nice upgrade, and being able to just straight tutor if you're going for the Battle of Wits win is obviously a huge help, balanced by the unlikeliness of drawing the Loonlet.
On a colour pie note, the Loonlet should probably be black, or hybrid blue/black, rather than blue. Blue can only tutor for instants, sorceries, and artifacts, though the pre-requisites for this mean it probably won't be tutoring 99% of the time. I'd also be tempted to bump it to uncommon rather than common for complexity reasons, even if it won't come up most of the time.
Overall a fun little bird, though.
Spoiler: ben-zayb's Resonant ArcanaThis is a bit of a wacky design, but it seems interesting. You're not likely to get much value out of this the turn you play it, but giving one spell each turn Convoke is nice. Ripple is a mechanic that's not especially fun to play against as it either does nothing, or it just wins the game on the spot. Limiting it to just the second spell you cast helps a lot as you're not going to be able to just chain together dragon's approaches to insta-win. The third mode won't come up most of the time, I think the enchantment does enough to be played in spells-matters decks without needing it, but if you are playing Biovisionary then it's solid upside.
I do think this should be mythic rare rather than rare for limited purposes, but otherwise seems fun.
Spoiler: TiaC's Nightmare ChirurgeonFun fact, this would be only the second card ever to remove poison counters. Given it removes them from opponents only, this maybe doesn't break WotC's rule on removing poison? But hey, we're not WotC, so let's look at it on its own merits.
As a floor, a 1B 2/2 Menace is fine. Not very exciting, but it's fine. You probably don't run this in a dedicated infect strategy, but I can see playing it in a deck with spells that give incidental poison on its instants/sorceries, and it may find a home in toxic decks that aren't married to winning through poison too. If you're regularly taking advantage of this ability, you're probably doing 2-3 extra damage on a hit.
It's an interesting design for sure.
Spoiler: Quiddle's Feast on RemainsIf you manage to get all four modes on this when you cast it, it's going to feel really good. Being able to target anyone's graveyard is really solid too, this means you can run it in self-mill or mill strategies. Even being able to just get two modes on this will be worthwhile, and should be pretty easy to do even outside of mill strategies.
This seems like just a really nice instant, very cool.
Spoiler: mystic1110's BalmgatheringOn its own, this is a 1G do nothing enchantment. Obviously you're not going to run it unless you have some life gain in your deck. So you're going to want regular lifegain to get the most out of this. A W/G lifegain deck would love this to enable recursion of key pieces, but if you have a few sources of incidental lifegain this can help a lot, particularly if you use spells like Revitalise to help draw through your deck.
Leaving the card by card analysis aside, let's crown a winner;
Spoiler: Ok, who won
Spoiler: Third PlaceIn third, we have mystic1110's Balmgathering. The enchantment seems like a solid card that works with decks with incidental lifegain, and becomes powerful in a lifegain focused deck. It's cool.
Spoiler: Second Placeben-zayb's Resonant Arcana comes second, very narrowly missing first. The Biovisionary part is likely less relevant than the potential to aid Storm/Dragon's Approach decks, but it can also function well within a more generic spells-matter deck. I'd enjoy trying it out.
Spoiler: First PlaceAnd the winner is Quiddle's Feast on Remains. A card that functions well outside of mill/self-mill decks, but one that becomes significantly more consistent within them, Feast on Remains seems like it'd be a fun card to play with, nice design!

Target creature's controller puts it on the top or bottom of their library. Surveil 1.
Art Direction - A panic sweeps the streets of Amonkhet, the crowd is trying to escape a barely visible threat, Phyrexian horrors just about visible. A child is the focus of the piece, she's reaching out to an adult man who's being swept away from her by the motion of the crowd. The man is in the mid-ground, shouting out and reaching out to her as he's pulled away.

Unforgotten - 3W
Sorcery - U
Aftermath (Cast this spell only from your graveyard, then exile it)
Create a token copy of target creature card in your graveyard. That Token is an Artifact instead of its other types (it loses all other types and it's no longer a creature).
Art Direction - A young woman kneels in front of a statue. Her clothes echo those of the young girl in 'Lost''s artwork. She has placed offerings at the feet of the statue. The statue strongly resembles the man who was being swept away from her.

SpoilerIn theoretical a set where Telepath and 2-face modal cards are both being pushed as a mechanic, this might get away with being Uncommon, but the setup as a whole is complicated enough that Rare seems usually correct.Avatar by the Ninja Chocobo.

Lock UU
Sorcery
Tap up to three target lands, then put a stun counter on each of them.

Load RR
Sorcery
At the beginning of your next precombat main phase, add RRR.
SpoilerI was thinking Lock might be too strong, but as a sorcery its really just another Early Frost. This dual card is very interesting either providing a mana tempo slow down or speed up to cheat something big out.

I-IV. Each Soldier creature you control gets +1/+0 and gains lifelink until end of turn.

I-IV: Until your next turn, target creature you control can block any number of creatures.
V: Each creature you control explores, then explores again if you have a land card in your graveyard.
SpoilerCurrently almost all sagas go to III with only 2 going to IV, this is two sagas that go to V which makes me think maybe they should be enchantments that trigger and sac under certain conditions. I do like the parity in the way you present two sides of a conflict, though I'm not sure about the soldier tribal.

SpoilerThis is a cool loop where you can target your own creature to get it ready for Unforgotten. I worry about some creatures being extra powerful as non-creatures with their abilities, though you priced it at a point where it probably isn't too much of an issue. Also what happens to creatures with effects that don't work on an artifact like Brash Taunter's fight ability?

SpoilerI like these two! The only thing holding this card back in my opinion is that these cards work well together and you only get to put one into play at a time.
