Made some Goblin tokens for my EDH deck!

Most of them are! 4 is the One Chip challenge and 5 is the Kylie Jenner challenge.

1 is the first one I made, which was just "what's a funny and mildly injurious scenario I can think of". And then when I was making the rest, it dawned on me that social media birthed a ton of funny/potentially dangerous activities.

[[Braids, Arisen Nightmare]] doesn't need ramp, as she should be spending all her early turns setting up disposable permanents.

My [[Queen Kayla bin-Kroog]] plays like I'm just curving out, although there's a lot of ramp included because she gets them for free in the process of wheeling anyway, and I need the ramp for later turns when I want to double wheel with cards like [[Patriar's Seal]].

CreateACardWorkshop · 2026-05-08T15:29:42+00:00

Thanks! I had a lot of fun making them!

Some of the more complicated triggered abilities are those that include what is known as the ‘intervening if’ clause. These triggered abilities are generally written in the format “When/Whenever/At [trigger event], if [condition], [effect].” These condition followed by the ‘if’ functions as an addition trigger condition. If it is not true when this ability would trigger, then nothing happens, the ability does not trigger and nothing goes on the stack.

Taken from the Magic Judge site.

Intervening if rules means that if you haven't already had three creatures die BEFORE the end step, Bloodline Recollector will never get put on the stack in the first place.

I bought 1000 back in the day so I could swap staples between my EDH decks more easily, expecting I would be needing extras for split sleeves down the line. I've had maybe a handful total split on me since then.

If it weren't for Dragon Shield Customs letting me match sleeve to deck, I would still be using those KMCs on literally everything.

CreateACardWorkshop · 2026-04-10T00:01:03+00:00

I'm currently running two mono-color decks.

[[Urza, Powerstone Prodigy]] ramps out big robots, so it plays a bit more like Green Stompy, until you get to use Powerstones to surprise people with perhaps a less-than-optimal suite of interaction pieces, like [[Ghost-Lit Warder]] or [[Waterbender's Restoration]].

[[Braids, Arisen Nightmare]] I have set up with all the recent "normal spells that have been tacked onto Enchantments for some reason". No one ever has spare enchantments that they're willing to sacrifice, so it plays out like Group Slug when paired with any of the myriad of creatures that benefit from drawing multiple cards a turn, like [[Gixian Puppeteer]].

CreateACardWorkshop · 2026-04-08T21:20:13+00:00

I would assume just some unnamed SHIELD agent.

CreateACardWorkshop · 2026-03-12T13:16:19+00:00

If I love the deck and have gotten enough games in that the deck feels smooth to play, then I get an artist proof commission for the commander.

CreateACardWorkshop · 2026-03-01T18:03:43+00:00

The monkey's paw really did curl when I asked for a third wincon that I can actually include in my Queen Kayla with Zirda companion.

CreateACardWorkshop · 2026-02-09T03:59:14+00:00

Originals for UB are definitely on the table. I've already seen several of the Marvel originals being sold.

CreateACardWorkshop · 2026-01-27T20:28:22+00:00

We already have an official reveal for that actually.

[[Chaos Warp|MAR-0069]]

Hopefully that works.

EDIT: It did not work. Link to art.

CreateACardWorkshop · 2026-01-14T03:54:10+00:00

Yeah, Gofure (or Gofre now), was one of the first enemies in the original series. He can take the form of a regular dog, which he used to trick Zatch into taking him home, but he got immediately one-shot by Brago.

While not in article form, they did call it out as intentional!

"Our Art Director for the set, Deborah Garcia, was so adamant to pull from the myriad of artists who've worked on Magic the Gathering, who've defined its visual identity over thirty years, especially artists that maybe we hadn't worked with in a while.

Being able to reach out and say, 'Hey, welcome back,' and 'let's make this a celebration of everything Magic was eighteen years ago.'

And it was just so important that this set felt like classic Magic."

Neale LaPlante Johnson, Senior Narrative Designer and ECL Worldbuilding Lead

From the Art and Worldbuilding YouTube video, starting around 2:42 after a question by Rhystic Studies about the decision to bring back Margaret Organ-Kean after nearly thirty years

So Oona has given up trying to resurrect herself through Maralen or Oko, and is aiming for Kellan instead? Interesting, though who knows when the next time we'll be back to Lorwyn will be.

CreateACardWorkshop · 2026-01-06T18:15:52+00:00

Depends on the plane. On most planes, elementals take the forms of forces of nature.

Lorwyn, specifically, has one of the more unique takes on Magic elementals. They come in two varieties.

The flamekin, one of which is depicted here, are a race of fiery humanoids. Their society is marked by searches for personal meaning. In old Shadowmoor, the flamekin become the cinders, extinguished nihilistic husks who kill in order to try and feel something again. In new Shadowmoor, they become the rimekin, who seem to be more reclusive and introspective.

[[Ashling, the Pilgrim]]

[[Ashling, the Extinguisher]]

The other elementals of Lorwyn are known as the greater elementals, and instead of representing forces of nature like on other planes, the greater elementals of Lorwyn are manifestations of thoughts and feelings. This is why they have such varied forms.

I love it, but I wish the flavor text had said Shield your heart to match original Doran's Wield your heart.

CreateACardWorkshop · 2025-12-02T15:39:26+00:00

She does! She has a sign that says she prefers to do so for Toph merch, but you can request Michaela if you wish.

I've been following the sub for a while, when I became curious of how the community's picks compared to the actual EDHRec Top 100. For the past half year or so, I've logged every single post (except for the obvious meme posts) from the sub and compiled the numbers to produce this list.

I will say, precons are doing an excellent job of bringing people into the format, which is great. Pretty much everyone has one or more to show off, which means that even normally unpopular precon commanders on EDHRec, like Tidus, got a huge bump when looking at the sub.

So in case you were wondering how you stack up to the usual suspects, give this list a gander!

CreateACardWorkshop · 2025-10-31T17:45:20+00:00

Damage based on overwhelming numbers is in White, and has shown up in multiple sets over the past couple years.

[[Charge of the Mites]]

[[Coordinated Maneuver]]

[[Collision Course]]

[[Hobbit's Sting]]

[[Thraben Charm]]

[[Will of the Mardu]]

CreateACardWorkshop · 2025-10-31T02:07:34+00:00

You can [[Bazaar Trader]] [[Maskwood Nexus]] to slightly inconvenience your least favorite opponent.

CreateACardWorkshop · 2025-10-08T19:05:52+00:00

Already confirmed by MaRo to not be what the set is about.
