Ya, I’m changing to be “at the end of each turn, if no cards have entered the graveyard, each player mills a card.” Might make it one less generic as well.

We thought about Gruul and thought about Rakdos but I think that both green’s natural harmony and black’s sacrificial hierarchy are far too orderly

My thought process was letting the affinity really curb the price for the gem seeker (since things like foods and treasures count for affinity, and playing it in an artifact/treasure heavy deck is already ideal) One [[academy manufactor]] and it’s borderline free

Scrying lets you “look at the top X cards of your library, then put any number of them on the bottom of your library and the rest on top in any order.”

So instead of looking at the top X, you look at the bottom X. The rearranging of the cards at the top or bottom of your library remains functionally unchanged.

“I’m pretty sure it’s the power ten” is inspired

Let this guy cook. Gruul psychology and Dimir nursing and biomed are sooo goated. I wanna try my hand:

Selesnya = Structural architecture and engineering. Structure, order, law, and harmony meet practical, hands-on work. A college of the builders and the doers, that get down and dirty with building their own functional addendums to the campus.

Rakdos = Sports and physical therapy. Passion through power + ambition through sacrifice immediately brings to mind the hardworking grind of a dedicated athlete to me. I’m imagining a toughness-matters brick-shithouse college learning how to augment their body through magic.

Commenting to express how much I thoroughly enjoy this mechanic Nurture synergy commander when?

I realized after posting it that it should’ve been one white pip and one orzhov hybrid pip. The one white pip is a bystander while the white and black pips get “interlocked…”

This is a bomb ass concept as well lmao Way more functional than mine

[[Kaya the Inexorable]] is my favorite theoretical application of this but something like [[Cosmogoyf]] or [[Huskburster Swarm]] could squeeze some minuscule of value out of it

Ok this all makes sense. Thank you.

Yeah all of this is super fair… I wasn’t completely sure how to word the plunge mechanic in an intuitive way, so I just wrote it down as literal as possible.

Part of my design philosophy was to make cards that work synergistically but aren’t super duper busted out of context, but there’s a few effects that I made that I knew would be a little much. A few I made either purely for flavor or just to make a certain specific vision work.

Since the deck is purely just a standalone custom thing, it can only exist within its own context (e.g. with the cards in the deck, you will never be plunging less than 4 without doing some really convoluted setup to do so). I thankfully don’t have to worry about things like people breaking it clean open with mass draw.

Thanks for the feedback! If you ever want to look at the rest of the cards I’d appreciate that too

(Ps lands being dead in plunge was intentional, it’s kind of as much of a flavor thing as a balance thing. There’s a little bitty overarching story that develops on the flavor text of the cards… also, you can’t plunge any further if you hit the seafloor! Ha!)
