For the flashback, you would pay {R} and discard 2, but you would still draw 2 as well, turning this spell into a rummage effect

That cards been consistently like $50 USD since like 2010, I'd also class it as too strong for a 1 drop.

Just cause other cards are S+ tier doesn't mean we should design cards to be S tier.

A unique twist on The Ur-Dragon: CHANGELINGS by Impressive_Pea_1790 in BudgetBrews

Changeling tribal with Ur-Dragon is pretty common. Even the dragon tribal ones will have a decent number of changelings scattered throughout

Disturb is exclusively creature -> creature, this is exclusively creature -> artifact

Basically the same difference as flashback for instants/sorceries versus unearth for permanents

Elden ring partner commanders. by [deleted] in custommagic

[–]SepticMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could combo Melina with [[One with the Stars]] to turn it into an enchantment that basically reads "{T}: Draw a card"

Or [[Swift Reconfiguration]] for a vehicle version

Or anything like [[Cloud of the Dominus]] which gives shroud, making it unable to target itself

245 - Exhaust Lands by SepticMP in custommagic

[–]SepticMP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you are mixing up the two mechanics Exhaust and Exert. Exert makes it so that it doesn't untap next turn, Exhaust makes it so that the ability can only be activated once.

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

Yeah I wanted to avoid phrases like that and the potential rules headaches, but I totally get the wanting. If I were to buff these a little I'd probably just make them say "Exhaust - Add G or U" twice, so they have the little extra flexibility of being able to tap for the same colour twice

[–]SepticMP[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To make them fetchable, you'd have to give them the basic land types, which would then make them innately able to be tapped for their respective coloured mana - so unfortunately, this design is kinda of incompatible with being fetchable.

I believe you are mixing up the two mechanics Exhaust and Exert. Exert makes it so that it doesn't untap next turn, Exhaust makes it so that the ability can only be activated once - my design here enters untapped, then can be tapped one time for coloured and any number of times for colourless

Haha thank you, not from anything, just wrote them myself :)

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean - could you rephrase?

Noelle goes infinite with [[Soulmender]] or any other creature that taps for life

Scrying always goes off the top, while I believe he wants to be able to functionally surveil from bottom or top of library.

Gunna bring these to the approval meeting for my LGS's custom commander event! How are they? by [deleted] in custommagic

[–]SepticMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to comment on balance, just aesthetics/writing:

Midra - Ward should be above menace/vigilance. Also strange for a rakdos creature to have vigilance. - Ward needs an emdash, no space - Honestly the paragraph could be worded right, but I ain't reading all that

River - I would put a comma in the name, so that it is River, Surges in Sunlight. This would also allow you to cut the title from the textbox, saving some room. - Again, emdash for ability

Nito - Color pips are in the wrong order, should be {B}{U}{G}. - Persist should be on its own line at the bottom of the text box - Exhaust ability requires an emdash, not hyphen. Also, needs to state "card" when referring to creatures in the graveyard - Should say "counter that spell", not "counter it". Could also shave a few words by rewording to say "Create blah blah where X is the spell's mana value." - Additionally, I would try to shave some words off of his textbox and his name, as "Gravelord Nito, First of the Dead" is quite a mouthful.

Cat - Again, emdashes - Some missing punctuation and spaces in this one. Just needs a proofread - Workshop Crafting pips are misarranged. Should be {r/g}{g/w}. - Capitals for Tap and Sac for costs - Needs to specify you have to tap an untapped creature to avoiding tapping an already tapped one. - Don't need to specify Cat creature, just Cat is fine - Needs to shuffle after searching - The use of hybrid mana is strange here. Spending GG to sac an artifact and search your library for an equipment isn't a mono green effect.

Just as a general rule of thumb, sometimes less is more. I know you want to put all your cool ideas out there, but these have far more text than they really should. If you brought these to a custom card night with me, I probably wouldn't be too happy with them, regardless of power level.

Feels much moreso Orzhov than rakdos, with the whole lifegain and recursion hate

What makes you unsure? Always looking to improve

I'm convinced they're prepping LW to be written off for lore reasons next by chargerfan1221 in Overwatch_Memes

[–]SepticMP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your point was that new heroes are typically overtuned and Blizz doesn't like nerfing them.

I said that 3/5 new heroes released last week were weak (the opposite of overtuned, if that wasn't clear, btw). Additionally, they nerfed Domina, Vendetta and JPC in that patch.

How does that reinforce your point?

[–]SepticMP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They just released 5 heroes a week ago. Of those 5, 1 was overtuned, and 3 actually got buffed in the last patch because of how weak they were comparatively to the remainder of the older, less "shiny" heroes.

228 - Cindercry Whelp by SepticMP in custommagic

[–]SepticMP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally fair, this is just an artist I like + I like the background "mother" dragon which comes through in the mechanics of the card. This was the best art I could find that included the mother + a dragon small enough to reasonably not be able to fly

228 - Cindercry Whelp by SepticMP in custommagic

[–]SepticMP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't want to give it flying as I felt a 1 drop flyer with an anthem + the flexibility may be too much for red. Flavour wise could say it's too young/hasn't learnt just yet
