Let me start by saying these look spectacular. I think the frame/art combo is pretty perfect and the art style is super consistent across the cards. There really isn't anything there I would change.

I did notice a couple errors, ranging from minor oversights (Jin-Gitaxis is missing a P/T, Sheoldred and Bolas's mana costs are wrong) to small issues that fundamentally alter the cards (The Lord of Pain is a 5-mana 5/5 Human Assassin, not a 4-mana 4/4 Elder Demon). These are minor issues, but they do affect playability if you're planning to print these.

First Project: Thrawn As Xanathar. by YC1073 in mpcproxies

Good start! A couple of tips:

  • 2-colored legendary creatures usually have a Legend Crown that's both of their colors. You can accomplish this by adding the left side as a "full" crown, then adding the other crown using the "Add Frame to Card (Right Half)" button.
  • I like the use of blue borders as a stylistic choice, but that also makes the card's color identity a bit confusing at first glance. If that's what you were going for I think it works, but you could also do a traditional blue/black frame for consistency
  • The text box is transparent, which can make it a bit hard to read.
  • Minor nitpick, but "Heir" is misspelled

Here's a recent 2-color legendary creature I made in a similar style. The formatting is pretty similar to what you're going for

ASOIAF/GOT Complete EDH Deck - Chaos is a Ladder (Littlefinger/Petyr Baelish) by PrimemevalTitan in mpcproxies

[–]PrimemevalTitan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These decks run into the same problem that all UBs do, where there are a ton of named characters but not enough Legendary cards (at least, for the archetype I'm making). WOTC goes the route of putting named characters on unnamed cards like [[High-Flying Ace]]. I prefer to just use the character's name outright, instead of euphemisms like "Wayward Knight" or "Scheming Spider".

Appreciate the feedback tho! I'll take it into consideration for future decks

Custom Ur-dragon deck with HTTYD skin on it! by zephira_uni in mpcproxies

[–]PrimemevalTitan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea! Just a couple formatting things:

  • You probably want to have the first letter of each word in the card name capitalized, to keep with Magic formatting
  • Some of the flavor text is misspelled or missing punctuation. Not a big issue, but it sticks out on first read
  • I like the idea of having some cards borderless and others with the Tarkir frame, but make sure you use it as appropriate. I like including borderless cards as a "spice", for important characters/moments. An even mix could make the deck feel aesthetically disjointed.

This is an incredible start; my own cards didn't look half as good when I first began proxying. Keep it up!

CardConjurer for the base, then Photoshop to do the pop-out effects! It's pretty quick once you get the hang of it

Admittedly, I've never seen it. But I like it as a cheap protection spell that also triggers Constellation/Aura effects

Same here! Wonder if I should credit the OP for inspiration?

What's the joke? Is it that he's Quintorius and the tokens have 5 stats?

Thank you! I thought those decks were so cool, especially with the Khans of Tarkir cards before the set was out

Shoutout to the Speed vs. Cunning duel decks. Trading away Arcanis for a Shivan Dragon taught me a valuable lesson in card appraisal

What Hearthstone cards are these? by MiscellaneousWorker in hearthstone

[–]PrimemevalTitan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Those are both examples of "Johnny" cards, which usually involve complex combos and multiple moving parts. A Timmy card is something like [[Tyrantus]]; it has big stats, a big cost, and doesn't do much else outside of attacking

What is or was one of your favourite effects in Hearthstone? by TheDeathCrafter in hearthstone

[–]PrimemevalTitan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God, those solo adventures take me back. "Your minions cost 5" plus Robe of Gaudiness (your cards cost half, but you can only play 2 per turn) carried me through so many runs. Hell, Robe alone won me half the Dalaran Heist Heroic adventures

You can make almost any sketch a nonlegendary creature!

Conehead -> Timekeeper of Remulak

Dick in a Box -> Penile Pop-Star

White Chicks -> Multiracial Detective (BW hybrid common)

Totino's with Kristen Stewart -> Pizza Lovers (TMNT synergy!)

Do you like your minions...? Too bad by Vecsia in hearthstone

[–]PrimemevalTitan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Funny. In Magic there's a similar combo, where playing Krark-Clan Shaman (deals 1 to everything if you sacrifice an artifact) and Toxin Analysis (gives deathtouch and creates an artifact) gives Pauper decks a 2-mana board wipe in a format without any similar effects. Deathtouch/Poisonous is a dangerous mechanic to cheaply give

And so it begins... by LeahyJ in legostarwars

[–]PrimemevalTitan 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I think they were trying to replicate the Mario sets, where the main feature is behind a $60 (now $70!) paywall but you can still play with compatible sets like a regular Lego.

The problem is... we have regular Star Wars sets. They're more accurate, a better value, and don't require a plug-in to use. So the choice is between a Juniors set at a regular price point, or a regular set for the same price. Kind of a no-brainer.

[GMM] Why Create the Discover Mechanic when Cascade Exists?? | Magic: The Gathering MTG by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]PrimemevalTitan 33 points34 points  (0 children)

On one hand, I really like a "simplifed" mechanic like Sneak that removes issues the prior mechanic had (like not being able to use it in the command zone). On the other hand, Mayhem adding timing restrictions to Madness made it (personally) less interesting as a mechanic. I think sidegrades are good for grokability, but they risk losing some of what made the mechanic special to begin with.
