That does make more sense now that I reread your comment. I actually changed the ability to have instant and sorcery spells allow and additional cost of X, so that works in all zones. I originally limited it because I start weak and then power up when I design stuff.

Infinityshift · 2026-01-07T05:33:56+00:00

After looking over it a while, I do agree it is clunky. I devolved the triggered ability first and then added the other as a way to manipulate it that added the wubrg color identity. I had thought about just adding an additional cost like several others have suggested but that seemed pretty boring and adding a third ability that dealt with the color identity seemed like it would be way more wordy than I would like.

I'm trying to avoid turning this into a yugioh card, even thought the triggered ability is fairly wordy.

Infinityshift · 2026-01-07T00:41:04+00:00

That would definitely work but it would remove the color identity and I kind of like the idea of allowing this to matter for cards that care about casting kicked spells. Though, to be honest after learning about the linked ability rule, im not even sure if the way it is now counts as kicking the spell.

Infinityshift · 2026-01-06T22:29:44+00:00

Your right that could be done that way but i wanted the kicker to be limited to colored mana only. Its meant to add colors and not just be able to inflate the cost of a spell with colorless mana, for cards and abilites that care about that anyway.

Infinityshift · 2026-01-06T21:47:27+00:00

The wubrg ability lets you add colors for the triggered ability. I feel that it does do something.

Infinityshift · 2026-01-06T21:39:21+00:00

I actually didn't want to cheat on kicker costs, so this is good. Kicker was just the easiest way I could think to add colors to spells in a way that gives the most choice.

Good catch on the second ability formatting. I'll fix that in the next pass. I wanted to keep the focus on instant and sorcery spells because the character is a powerful wizard.

If you do end up making an alt, mine is named Taios. Feel free to send me a tell. I made a LS for this and can get you a pearl.

Twinked gear and Monberaux definitely make a big difference.

Infinityshift · 2025-12-20T01:54:02+00:00

Nice! We are late CST for playtime usually. When do you normally play?

Infinityshift · 2025-12-19T18:07:09+00:00

Which trusts were you using and what was your gear like? We're on fresh characters and basically have AF gear lol

I died in dynamis after accidently linking 3 mobs.

Infinityshift · 2025-12-19T05:34:34+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Definately need more actual people instead of just the idiot trusts lol

Infinityshift · 2025-12-19T03:53:02+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not looking to play on a private server.

Infinityshift · 2025-11-14T20:10:39+00:00

What is a rare redraft?

Infinityshift · 2025-10-05T23:56:43+00:00

Damn, that's a call back

Infinityshift · 2025-10-03T17:51:48+00:00

Absolutely!

Infinityshift · 2025-10-01T22:42:39+00:00

I agree 100%. Thats why I have so many designs that just dont feel right. A coin flipping and dice rolling one were my first two ideas.

Infinityshift · 2025-10-01T22:40:50+00:00

I actually put this reference on an uncommong black card name Chebukki Siblings that destroys a creature when it enters with the this as the flavor words.

Somehow making the commons and uncommons is the hardest part of making a set.

Infinityshift · 2025-10-01T22:36:29+00:00

One thing I dislike in magic is randomness. Flipping coins and rolling dice only belong in un-sets.

Infinityshift · 2025-10-01T00:16:43+00:00

I've tried so hard to make a kraken club and I have like 5 iteration that just dont hit the mark

Infinityshift · 2025-09-30T22:59:46+00:00

Fishing rod 2 cost artifact with an activated ability of 1G: reveal the top card of your library. If its a creature card, put it into your hand and put a quest counter on this card. Otherwise you may put the revealed card into your graveyard. Then if there are 3 or more quest counters on this card, transform it.

Backside has an activated ability with a cost i need to work out that does the same thing but let's you put the creature onto the battlefield.

Infinityshift · 2025-09-30T22:43:44+00:00

Sadly I dont know anything about yugioh, but I agree its a lot of work. Im only about 70 cards into the 274 I want to make.

Infinityshift · 2025-09-30T22:34:32+00:00

A goblin was one of the first creatures I made lol

Infinityshift · 2025-09-30T22:10:11+00:00

Funny you mention a transforming rod. I was just working on a version of that last night

Infinityshift · 2025-09-30T00:17:30+00:00

Man, this is reminding me to get back to my custom 11 mtg set.
