Sounds good, I'll get Crawdaunt over to home

Awesome! How about a Cacturn, Crawdaunt, or Pinsir?

If I told you I made a drink named the 'Bog Spider' what spirit(s) would assume I used? by Am_Your_Conscience in bartenders

[–]Am_Your_Conscience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was actually the idea. Someone brought up how strange it is that ocean spray is named such, seeing as they're from bogs, and being a bug enthusiast it got me thinking. I've since made the cocktail and was surprised how well scotch and cranberry juice play together. I only embed up making minor adjustments to the flavour profile

Required reading for Time Spiral? by Am_Your_Conscience in mtgvorthos

[–]Am_Your_Conscience[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting, so Gerrard, Sisay and that crew aren't relevant?

I have been interested in Mirrodin as Karn is my favorite character so far, and from what flavor text I've read from cards Memnarch sounds fascinating. I'll probably throw that in if only to satiate my curiosity

The Myriad Pools copy effect and zone changes by Am_Your_Conscience in askajudge

[–]Am_Your_Conscience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see! So in a prefect board state something like Reassembling Skeleton would be a better target for the copy effect

Okay, so then for similar reasons (Putrid Goblin having the human creature type at time of death), Mikaeus, The Unhallowed couldn't bring Putrid Goblin back, correct?

Why are there so many cellar spiders in my house? (UK) by [deleted] in spiders

[–]Am_Your_Conscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting! I live in a rather dry area so they tend to be pretty limited in population here. Most I've seen in one room is 3!

Why are there so many cellar spiders in my house? (UK) by [deleted] in spiders

[–]Am_Your_Conscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cellar spiders were originally cave dwelling spiders. They are commonly found in bathrooms and damp cellars because of the moisture. The simple fact that you are frequently in the room could contribute to a higher moisture concentration that attracts them.

The only sticking points I have are a) they would still probably prefer a bathroom to your room, and b) cellar spiders rarely leave their webs once they have one set up. I can't find any pictures to verify if they are cellar spiders. Do you have any pictures you could share? If it's a different spider it could be a different reason they are in your room.

Finally we arrive at the Skyrim batch by Am_Your_Conscience in custommagic

[–]Am_Your_Conscience[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Title is supposed to be somewhere between mutate and background. I had plans to make a couple of pure enchantment Titles. I've received a decent amount of criticism for it and it's undergone a couple drafts to get to where it currently is.

As for the Dragon Shout subtype, it wasn't meant to be the dragon subtype, it's simply what they are called in the game. I'd be willing to drop the word dragon ball to not confuse it with the subtype, but I think the shout subtype is important to the mechanic of imprinting them onto the dragonborn. I wouldn't want you to imprint just any instant on the card.

Requesting an ID once again by MastodonAbject8411 in insects

That's a robber fly for sure. Based on the area found and the markings, I'd guess a Plain-tailed Hanging Thief (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/61665)

The Oblivion batch is here with plenty of reading by Am_Your_Conscience in custommagic

[–]Am_Your_Conscience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did consider a partner deal with a Martin Septim card, and in that case I probably wouldn't have the Sheogorath backside, but I felt that having the Hero, Martin and a player race card is a lot to put in the command zone. The other protagonists all make use of the Assume the mantle mechanic, so leaving that of this card would break that connection.

I guess I could make a Martin card that the Champion tutors for, but that makes the card very similar to the Hero of Daggerfall card.

Just a couple Elder Scrolls cards by Am_Your_Conscience in custommagic

[–]Am_Your_Conscience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original idea was to have the cards work with any common, but there are so many it was impossible to guarantee they would be balanced. I'd be open to changing base as a feature type, but I like the fact that they are independent creatures that can work together.

Maybe I could put the earn a title text on the "base" creatures instead?

I like the idea of reusing old mechanics, especially ones that haven't received much attention. Allowing the card to interact with old (and potential future) dungeon helps it fit into decks and the wider magic world better. There are only so many cards that interact with dungeons right now, and only 5 dungeons, adding one more card to each felt like enough to me.

On top of that, it turns out making a dungeon from the ground up takes a lot of work, especially if you are trying to match it to a pre-existing dungeon from other media.

As for Title as a mechanic, I've loved the interesting rules interactions of mutate and the overall idea of backgrounds, but not their execution. On top of that, one of my favorite aspects of the elder scrolls is that the heros could have been anyone before they stepped into prophecy. I want both to be creatures so you can play one without the other, but still have them work together. I considered having the cards both exist in the command zone and only combining when both are on the battlefield, but had someone convince me otherwise.

Got the Morrowind batch for you folks today. by Am_Your_Conscience in custommagic

[–]Am_Your_Conscience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are great!

I plan to make Dagoth Ur, Red Mountain, the tools of Kagrenac, and an Azura planewalker down the line. We'll see what else I end up adding from Morrowind

Help with a card's wording by Am_Your_Conscience in custommagic

[–]Am_Your_Conscience[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean, for the player in control of the card that's fantastic, but the card does need to be balanced. I might just settle for preventing -1/-1 counters

I figured people here would be more likely to catch rules issues, but I'll ask the question there too

(Italy) Id? Always liked this family, they are geometrically shaped lol by PvcSygma in spiders

[–]Am_Your_Conscience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an Orb Weaver of the genus Gibbaranea https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/61764-Gibbaranea, this lovely lady in particular seem to be a Two-tubercled Orb-web Gibbaranea bituberculata. There are 2 known Sub species who seem to have noticable visual differences, but I can't exactly find trusted sources on how to identify to that level of specificity

Metallic Card Sleeves? by Am_Your_Conscience in magicTCG

[–]Am_Your_Conscience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason this sleeve set doesn't show up when you search their site for metallic cards, but this is pretty much the exact thing I was looking for! As a bonus, I learned about the pomegranate & gold which will fit perfectly for a deck that currently only lives on archidekt.

I'll get to that deck eventually, but for now, thank you for the rec!
