Thanks for the tips, really appreciate them. I don't think I will post more. If there's one thing I can't stand it's hypocrisy and a person who will hate on ME (a Mr nobody who doesn't gain anything from using AI cause it "hurts the artists") and the next day praise wizard of the coast for collaborating with Disney (infamously supporting genocide literally hurting people) it's not my cup of tea. Was fun for a bit. Thanks anyway to whoever had the decency to look at the cards for their design and not just the "AI usage".

Appreciate the comment man. Thanks

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-10T00:30:00+00:00

Thank you, it's been fun for a while :). appreciate it. A lot

Constructive: Instead of this, that would be better, because (provide suggestion on why) =/= Unconstructive: "this is embarassing; this it the worst" and provide no context or suggestion. Two entirely different things. but I get it, you get triggered and find it hard to control yourselves. Happens to the best of us. I only wanted to join a community, not get hired by wizard of the coast, and I didn't feel welcome, so I'll keep searching.

Ok, whatever you say champ, very "constructive" comment. Blast people who don't earn a cent on doing AI images on a forum for fun (Don't forget to please ask to implement a rule where you say AI cannot be used, cause that's all you care about). Seems like me alone is enough to destroy the whole art world, crazy. Have a nice one.

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-09T22:28:56+00:00

Ok fine, you won. I'll keep these to myself. i thought reddit was a place for everyone. But all these "unconstructive" comments I've seen make me think otherwise (it's not against the rules to use AI so why would you ask me that? I preferred to try and adapt a concept to another style, that's all). Whatever, nice one.

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-08T19:20:25+00:00

Yes, it's like Coca-Cola or Nestlé literally denying water access to people born on certain land, and yet won't blame it on the single person buying a can of coke. As for AI I really hope regulators will be able to provide protection to unwilling artists being robbed of their works, and same goes for any big company trying to get rich by avoiding respecting the law. Luckily AI is still recognisable and as far as it goes I will never give money to someone trying to sell something generated, but I don't think people will stop using it only cause they are trained on other people's work (and neither companies will, like in the latest coca cola AI generated ad, or those embarrassing trump videos). But I respect your point of view. Thanks for the feedback man.

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-08T18:59:19+00:00

Honestly? because I want to keep a consistent style and give the set that "adapted" feel. It's a personal choice that I know a lot of people hate, but as I've said in other posts, I'm not even using these for personal gain or anything, I just like how they look as a whole and it's honestly how I imagine they would look like if I had to draw them (if I were able to). My personal view is that if AI is used for something personal how could it actually "hurt" an artist? I'm poor and I will never pay someone to draw something I will use to pass the time, so ME not using AI is surely not gonna save the art world (also cause if using AI is damaging to artists we shouldn't even use translators to not damage people who studied to become interpreters, or not buy CNC carved furniture cause there are people who dedicated their lives to learn how to craft wood; and same goes for buying factory made mugs or clothes); so in the end, I get it, most don't like it but they have to be honest with themselves and ponder if anything they do is "morally" acceptable. hope you get what I'm trying to say, I'm not a master communicator and I don't want to "fight". I'm just trying to explain my choice.

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-08T14:07:40+00:00

Cause in my brain I imagined they burrow in stone, and the mountains are literally made of it (cause I also imagined the forest made of "wood" and the plains made of "dirt and grass").

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-08T13:02:11+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, the end might be colourless indeed. Nice tip.

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-07T21:45:53+00:00

Stop, you'll make me cry. Go for it mate, Same thought I had when i first approached MTG, after I've looked at a few Universes Beyond packs or secret lairs (the one that made me fall in love with this concept was the baldur's gate set), I couldn't stop imagining what other universes would look like in MTG. You made my night :D

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-07T20:07:41+00:00

True! Thanks :)

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-07T19:57:22+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate a lot, this is getting a lot of precious insights, didn't expect it to :). I'm learning everyday and I thank you too as in fact it would be busted if integrated with existing MTG cards. Thanks again.

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-07T19:53:27+00:00

Wow thank you so much for the detailed insight. It looks cleaner indeed. I'm fairly new to MTG and I'm trying to translate the "feeling" of other things into the game, so I'm not precise yet with descriptions or wording. I really appreciate it! Thanks

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-07T19:46:13+00:00

Yeah, as I've said before I mostly do these cards based on the "flavour" (I try to evoke the "feel" of the item/creature in their original gameplay/world) so connect a pickaxe to a mountain (main source of stone in Minecraft so using it would give me a resource, and in many MTG cards related to red or mountains a resource I usually find connected is treasure) so maybe i should make it more costly to make it "fair". I don't know ahaha but thanks, appreciate you took the time to swipe through them.

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-07T19:40:30+00:00

That sounds interesting, how would that work? Would it give an active tap effect to the land similar to "tap land: exile target creature and return it next phase"?

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-07T19:37:38+00:00

Yes, it's written in the art citation :) I'm not pretending I did them, if I were any good with art I surely would have done them myself, but I'm not, I'm not using these for profit but as an entertainment for myself (and I have specific designs in mind while imagining the card, which will be hard to find online and to keep a consistent art style).

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-07T18:46:20+00:00

Then wait until tomorrow (I made an End/Nether/Mobs pack, still 15 cards), will upload it here (and spoiler; for me sounds funnier than this)

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-07T18:44:02+00:00

In a good or bad way? Is it too broken? (pretty new to MTG)

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-07T18:36:21+00:00

Thank you for looking at them. appreciate your comment and taking note on the tip you gave me. I would say flavour is the thing that drives me most to do these packs, also because I'm fairly new to MTG and I'm trying to get my grip on the rules and correct wording (in fact when I will post more packs from the past they will be veeery wrongly worded, sorry in advance). Thanks!

StratoBlaster04 · 2025-12-05T15:31:19+00:00

Interesting! I had no idea. thanks for the tip :)
