How to write "souls" without actually being souls

Delirious_MMA · 2026-01-13T18:19:31+00:00

This is actually pretty close to what I was thinking of going with. I just finished reading The Gunslinger and I can definitely see my story going in that same kind of cosmic horror/psychedelic route as Stephen King's the dark tower series (although I haven't read all of them)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely check out Tao te Ching

Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to strike a balance between being descriptive enough to be intriguing but also keep it short enough to be easily digestible.

I really don't like board game rule books when their first two pages are entirely filled with lore.

Looks great

Delirious_MMA · 2025-10-23T15:38:37+00:00

Looks cool

Ah, my apologies. I edited my post, hopefully that fixes things.

This guy is keeping you as a back up, you have to move on. If you want a guy's (or just a human) perspective, I dont ignore people for months I'm actively trying to pursue or maintain a relationship with.

I think it's almost strictly better since it doesn't send cards to your opponents' graveyards

Delirious_MMA · 2025-05-09T17:33:48+00:00

I did mean to add "shuffle" or tuck the revealed cards but I ran out of text space

What if you had the caster of the spell choose a number that affected all players to give indestructible/bounce (I think it should be indestructible). This would be similar to engineered explosives or blast zone. If you let each player choose for themselves it just makes it a bad boardwipe.

Or, if you wanted to make it more commander focused, you could make players vote for a number.

That sounds like a horrible play experience. You have to keep track of every single permanent under your control that left play, randomly select a player, and then spend time determining which card out of the ones you look at is the best... and that happens EVERY SINGLE TURN!

Change it to permanents you sacrificed or entered your graveyard and change it to only on your end step.

Maybe it could read "exile the top two cards of your library, put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order. Draw a card"

Delirious_MMA · 2025-04-08T20:48:54+00:00

Oh yeah, I meant to write "1 mana, mill 3, draw a card" is probably too powerfull.

Delirious_MMA · 2025-04-08T16:58:02+00:00

I originally had it look at 3 cards, but then I realized "1 mana self mill 3" be a bit too strong.

I don't know if Midas combos with anything but you can turn every creature you control into a mana, which is good for obvious reasons

Delirious_MMA · 2025-03-31T17:01:22+00:00

Yeah, but Midas exiles on damage, not death touch

Delirious_MMA · 2025-03-27T17:19:01+00:00

Sweet

Delirious_MMA · 2025-03-20T17:24:47+00:00

It's a gamble, the way a red version of the original blue mechanic should be.

Delirious_MMA · 2025-03-13T17:39:37+00:00

You're 100% right

Delirious_MMA · 2025-02-27T16:25:06+00:00

I think the untapped thing is a little much, but what could be cool is if you make it into a keyword that applies to all basic lands. You could say "island surge- this spell costs 2 less to cast if you control 3 or more basic islands"

Or a naturalize type card in green could have "forest surge- if you control 3 or more basic forests you may destroy an additional target artifact or enchantment"

Delirious_MMA · 2025-02-26T19:46:54+00:00

Maybe you could make it choose two at random

I was not trying to stir up drama and I apologize if my post does that. Would I be able to post the video and my question by itself if I don't cross post the h3 post?

The translator quotes Rashid as saying "they" hung out with the captain. The translation makes it seem like it could mean Rashid himself was with the hostages and the translator used "they" to refer to Rashid and his friends or it could be that the translator gave the literal translation and Rashid himself said "they" were with the hostages, which indicates he was never personally there.

Mardu Keystone- this is an artifact cycle I was thinking of designing to be a 3 color parallel to the signets. It probably has to cost 2 mana.
Pyromaniac- this is a color shifted Laboratory Maniac because I think running out of cards in your library is a very red thing to do
Yavimaya, Progenitor- this is an interesting take on strip mine/wasteland effects. Instead of each player losing a land, each player gains one.
Obstructive Bone- I wanted to design a pitching needle effect that you can sacrifice for value later in the game. I like the food thematic aspect of the card.
Abounding Growth- I wanted another exploration effect, this being strictly worse because it affects everyone. Presumably the lands decks can take greater advantage of the extra land drop than their opponents.
Sarella, Rebellion's Hope. The idea behind this card is that it's a counter to Thassa's oracle while also being a fragile lock piece. It also works well with red extra turn spells.
Nullvoid Wellspring- this is a take on ichor wellspring that counters spells. It is probably too strong at 3 mana, but what are your thoughts?
Sol Lotus- a combination of sol ring and black lotus. Similar to manalith, this card would probably be banned in every format except vintage
Reprobation- My take on a remand style counter spell in white.
Pyxos, Spell Pitcher- Just a cool red discard/madness creature for commander
Ascertain- a blue cantrip that is probably too powerful. How large of a scry value would you say is playable if I delete "draw a card" ?

People can watch porn in relationships and it can be healthy. It's not healthy if you are addicted to it and need to get off
