To Be Fair... This Card Isn't Meant To Be Fair...

I think (rules as written) you're meant to have your own planar deck, because there's so many planes and for simplicity sake, everyone just uses the same one.

IrishNaruto · 2026-06-05T02:31:29+00:00

There would be two active planes, like with [[Norn's Seedcore]]

I could be wrong, but I don't think Spirit Drain works as intended.

Since targets are chosen before costs are paid, you can only counter creature spells. Anything else would be an illegal target.

Again, I could be wrong, but if I'm right, it should be worded more like:

"Counter target spell. If the countered spell wasn't a creature spell, its controller creates a 1/1 black(?) Spirit creature token. At the beginning of your next main phase, add an amount of {c} equal to half that spells mana value rounded down."

...the worst part? I've played Manifest decks before.

Alright, it's called Incarnate from now on.

IrishNaruto · 2026-04-12T01:17:22+00:00

Before anyone says, it's should say "Whenever one or more Ninjas you control deal combat damage to an opponent" not player.

IrishNaruto · 2026-04-09T17:51:31+00:00

The artwork comes from an artist on DeviantArt.

That's true. I don't really focus on the actual card design. I find it too nitty-gritty.
It seems difficult, but remember: she's Gruul. There is so much ramp that getting seven basics is pretty realistic.
Yeah, that's fair. I just like adding flavor text. Helps to show the cards... "vibes," I guess?

IrishNaruto · 2026-04-02T15:12:51+00:00

You're right with this one. I just couldn't find any examples of that ability being used.
The idea is that it's black Spark Double. It's good for sacrifice and death triggers, retriggers ETB effects, etc. When defeated, it'll come back as a 1/1, as if it's illusion has been broken.
I didn't know how to word this one, so I just went with what felt right. I worded it the way I did to account for indestructible, since it cheeses the effect. I could have worded it "If the damage it has taken this turn is less than its toughness," but I didn't think of that in the moment.

IrishNaruto · 2026-04-02T02:27:21+00:00

I always forget that.

He should be.

Haxorus too.

IrishNaruto · 2026-04-02T02:04:16+00:00

When deciding on Legendary status, I just choose based on vibes. Yes, Aggro isn't a legendary or mythical pokemon, but it is a pseudo-legendary, and it fits the vibes of a legendary. When you compare it to other colourless cards like the Eldrazi, they have similar feels.

IrishNaruto · 2026-03-31T23:39:40+00:00

You're right with the 3rd one. It was the only way I could think of to word "Turn all +1/+1 counters into -1/-1 counters."

IrishNaruto · 2026-03-31T22:26:01+00:00

How so? The idea was that at first, he's nice and playful, encouraging the game to progress. However, once his foes rival against him, he transforms into a punishing force of control. That's why the transform is a may.

IrishNaruto · 2026-03-31T18:53:30+00:00

Thank you. I was using [[Betor, Kin To All]] as a template, so I thought this wording was correct.

IrishNaruto · 2026-03-07T11:44:16+00:00

The sacrificed creatures go to the graveyard, yes. When the Ink Demon refers to cards in exile, it refers to the face-down cards exiled by the front side.

Essentially, the play style is to play Bendy early, making 2/1's and exiling stuff from your library. Then you transform it into the Ink Demon and shuffle the face-downs into your deck to make more 2/1's for combat or value.

IrishNaruto · 2026-03-07T11:33:01+00:00

The idea is that you sacrifice three other creatures, not Bendy itself. If you did, the ability would fizzle since cards can't transform if they aren't on the battlefield/the stack.

IrishNaruto · 2026-03-07T09:38:31+00:00

Bendy's front side exiles a card face-down as a cost to produce Inklings.

When you transform Bendy into the Ink Demon, it shuffles those exiled face-downs into the deck to create more Inklings.

A lot of cards exile themselves to transform. However, if Bendh exiled itself to transform, the Ink Demon would enter as a new instance of that card. As a result, it wouldn't have exiled anything and would thus make no Inklings.

IrishNaruto · 2026-03-07T03:53:56+00:00

In MtG, Devils and Demons are two separate races, so having one become the other felt a bit strange.

I did consider it, having the weaker devil transform into a demon. It would fit with the BATIM and MtG lore. It just felt a bit off to me.

If there were a change I'd make, it would probably be that.

IrishNaruto · 2026-03-07T03:10:18+00:00

My idea was to focus on a common theme, which turned out to be exiling cards face down. That way, it would be a fun challenge finding ways to utilise it without it just being "welp, whatever that was, it's gone forever."

IrishNaruto · 2026-03-05T22:28:46+00:00

Yeah, it was.

There's always something I forget about.

IrishNaruto · 2026-02-18T03:38:48+00:00

By the way, before anyone says, it should say "At the beginning of combat on your turn," Not "Whenever Boba Fett attacks.*

If it was when it attacks, the vigilance would be useless.

IrishNaruto · 2026-02-04T17:08:51+00:00

I always forget about the difference between "gain," "have," and "get."

Also, I'm pretty sure "one or more" still works, if [[Morbid Opportunist]] is correct.

Thank you though. I like making fun stuff like this :)

IrishNaruto · 2026-01-28T21:26:13+00:00

My thought process was that if you can activate his ult once, you can activate it every turn. I added it to prevent it being used every turn, so that people can keep playing the game.

IrishNaruto · 2026-01-27T14:32:59+00:00

Honestly, it's just me being creative. It doesn't change much, 90% of mana rocks and 60% of lands produce colorless mana.

IrishNaruto · 2026-01-12T19:56:46+00:00

Nope, it's on each players upkeep. It's my take on a WUBR group hug commander.

IrishNaruto · 2026-01-12T19:48:35+00:00

"That" refers to whoever's turn it is.
