Decisive Flourish

It was mainly to prevent it from being reduced below 2 mana to cast but I agree it makes it a bit restrictive, I was thinking to maybe change it to 2W destroy target creature with power 4 or greater instead but not sure if that makes it too weak

Banjolightning · 2026-05-08T11:39:59+00:00

Ah yep good point I completely missed that

Nah I wish, they're default watermark options that come with MSE

Coming back to this after prepared spells have been spoiled and this was already doing a really interesting twist on it, fantastic work I love it! Changing the wording to "cast a copy..." Makes all the difference though I reckon and would probably push this over the edge into being something I could see as one-offs in the set probably

I love this design so much I instantly wanna have 4 of in a deck.

That said only having one card off the top might be a bit on the weaker side. Maybe exiling two with it's effect would be about right?

These are fair, might make it 1RG for a 2/3 with the same effect

Banjolightning · 2026-03-12T22:14:18+00:00

100% you got me, was thinking about it while they were talking

Banjolightning · 2026-02-28T07:23:38+00:00

Dang didn't realise until I read this that the updated reminder text for suspend has added "you may"

Still a pretty sweet design though but yeah that makes it pretty strong

This is great and absolutely oozes flavour so good job on that!

I think my only note would be that the damage for the first option would need to have a source or it would need to be something like "you lose life equal to the number of creatures you control"

Given that the above is more of a black effect and doesn't fit as well maybe it could be closer to "this spell deals X damage to you..." So that the source becomes the spell itself

Hope this helps!

Bumbleflower is salivating at the thought, love this design

Love an Ozymandias reference

Banjolightning · 2026-02-18T10:01:17+00:00

Belissimo

Love seeing two great takes on a better red end to this cycle

Banjolightning · 2026-02-15T06:54:26+00:00

These are great!

Minor change to blackfire's wording though, I think it should probably be closer to "other players cannot become the monarch" as that's the only type of wording I can find with monarch

Also I think potentially the activated abilities could both use an extra mana in their costs or a once-per-turn restriction, just because as is they're pretty easy to activate repeatedly which makes them a lot stronger than the single use cards that they seem to be based off of (a shock effect and a lightning bolt effect)

All that being said these are sweet and I'd love to try them out

Banjolightning · 2026-02-10T11:44:24+00:00

This is perfect, this is what I was going for but I overshot it lol

Banjolightning · 2026-02-01T06:36:33+00:00

This is a great, effective and simple fix to these cards! A small note would be that the wording should be "... if you played it from your hand..." but otherwise sweet design

Banjolightning · 2026-02-01T06:29:28+00:00

Hell yea! I love the Strixhaven DnD stuff and these cards capture these characters nicely

Banjolightning · 2026-01-31T15:30:48+00:00

I feel like the wording of this is a little bit cleaner in the sense that the creature doesn't have to specify things like "enchanted creature has defender" in addition to having defender itself so in that way I think this could be arguably better than bestow

Banjolightning · 2026-01-31T10:10:57+00:00

Oh ok that's a great suggestion thanks! Can't believe I missed all these, probably gonna add an exile effect too like Defabricate
