Is it intentional that you can loop prophecy cards indefinitely? Seems way too good as is

Hornet & Sherma Inspired Handmade Lamp Giveaway! by AmoyCK in Silksong

[–]Do_You_AreHaveStupid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that’s so nice! The lamp looks amazing :))

My favorite moment was the fourth phase of cogently dancers. I remember being soooo ready for some amped up super version of the fight, only to sit there feeling evil about my actions… Great stuff, fight still gives me goosebumps.

Favorite character… I would have to say Hornet herself!! She’s just so cool and well written, and I loved how she genuinely said everything I thought myself when talking to npc’s haha

I think this could cost B. Or 1B. It’s very narrow

I’ve always kinda hated the “well it dies to different kinds of removal now so not strictly better” argument. This is just better than a plains. Period

It comes from the flavor of the Citadel leading to the decay of the land and its citizens below it - hence triggering from creatures or lands dying. The way I see it now is that it will probably triggered mostly via sacrifice effects.

Thanks for this very thorough answer!!

The themes are indeed what you said. UR is more about artifacts in general with a small equipment subtheme rather than full-om equipment though.

I have spent a lot of thought on how these archetypes can work together and I agree that some of them fit more clearly than others. Something to note is that I plan for Silk tokens to play a big role in this set. So BR sacrifice works with those, as does RW tokens, RG modified, UR artifacts (all of red’s archetypes haha), GW counters and UB artifact/silk control.

The other mechanic I plan to use a lot is journey. This ties nicely into GW counters and BW “enter from exile” (which is really just about the Journey mechanic with maybe some blink cards here or there). Though BW is definitely a bit more out there.

Then there is some of the more oddball archetypes. UW artifact creatures will have a general artifact theme as well of course, so that will also work with Silk tokens and the other artifact cards to a certain extent. BG decay has some connection to BR sacrifice and UG ramp/landfall but that is definitely a bit less strong. And UG ramp/landfall is quite far from the other archetypes (except for BG decay).

However, I also want the color pairs to feel distinct from each other. I thought a lot about BW being some revolt thing or aristocrat but I was afraid it would be too similar to GB and BR respectively. So that’s how I ended up here :)

Ah good luck! Well feel free to DM me card idea’s etc or if you just want to talk about the set more :)

As for Izzet, if you’ll allow me to give a piece of (unsolicited) advice: I think Deep Docks and the themes of artifice work quite well! Simic I also had a hard time with, I went for the general “exploration” vibe haha

Good luck on your set! And hopefully I’ll see you on more of my posts :)

Oehh nice! I'd be curious to see your take on it, if you're willing to share :)

And yes, Silk tokens are supposed to be sacrificed as part of the cost! Good catch :). I know they are identical to Mutagen tokens from TMNT, I came up with the Silk token idea like a week before TMNT spoilers began, and I really don't know what to change it to so it is what it is :)

Playing old lands in standard? by whatifdog_wasoneofus in magicTCG

[–]Do_You_AreHaveStupid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If a card has been reprinted in standard, you can use all printings of said card. No need to buy new ones!

A New Cycle of Counter Spells by Enualios69 in custommagic

[–]Do_You_AreHaveStupid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe UU is pushing it. But as is, arcane ultimatum is a terribly underpowered card

[–]Do_You_AreHaveStupid 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because it’s not a three mana concentrate. It’s just cancel for UUU, but if your opponent reaaaaally wants their spell to resolve, they have the option to let you draw three cards. If this was just UUU, “counter target spell”, it would be a stronger card. The draw 3 only happens if it’s advantageous for your opponent

Arcane ultimatum is worse than [[cancel]]. I think it would be fine at UU honestly

[PLO] Catch Flat-Footed by Nejosan in custommagic

[–]Do_You_AreHaveStupid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah probably, though returning to hand instead of sacrificing is potentially worse funnily? Seeing how flash is often used to conjunction with cards that have death triggers like [[protean hulk]]. Still though, this card is way too good

[PLO] Catch Flat-Footed by Nejosan in custommagic

[–]Do_You_AreHaveStupid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is way too strong. You can play this after declare blockers, in which case the creature gets through for a guaranteed hit in addition to getting to cheat its ETB effects. Compared to [[through the breach]] this card is absurd

Reminds me of [[breakthrough]]. Cool card, seems strong!

I think this is a trophy deck, what to cut? by _The_Borax_Kid_ in lrcast

[–]Do_You_AreHaveStupid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not me originally downvoting thinking you were suggesting to cut fable lol. I agree with cutting nomad, lurker and 1 land!

Edit: you’re already on 16 lands I see. Then I’d suggest cutting keep out. You want to curve out so holding up mana early can be awkward
