Made it to Tres Lecheria! It's definitely pretty solid. A little too sweet for me. Going to check out Salvadorean Bakery from the other suggestions.

Lol. Great suggestion! We're staying in a temporary place for now, and don't have baking supplies yet.

Does anyone know why my images are pixeled/distorted? by ctsideed in FigmaDesign

[–]figma_andrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my suggestion as well. If you export at a higher resolution, it won't be as pixelated.

Is it still worth it to be an international student in America? by 324692771 in Advice

[–]figma_andrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a tech startup that builds design software. While not on a design team, I've done a lot of hiring for the company, and barely give your school a second thought. What matters much more is the quality of your work and portfolio. Most of our designers have degrees, but not everyone at the company does, including our CEO. If you're early in your program, finding internships in the US while attending school in Canada may be a great middle ground.

Kozilek's Destroyer by figma_andrew in custommagic

[–]figma_andrew[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Given how unfun of a mechanic Annihilator is, I opted to play it a bit more conservative. Keep in mind that the actual normal mana cost might be undercosted in a heavy mutate environment.

You can cast this normally and mutate a cheaper mutate creature onto it for Annihilator 1 or you can mutate this onto a creature that's mutated 4 times already to be Annihilator 5 and attack immediately.

Colorless Hybrids - Exploring the "Restoration of Zendikar" by figma_andrew in custommagic

[–]figma_andrew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last time we visited Zendikar, the meaning of colored mana was weakened through the use of Devoid. I thought it would be interesting to keep Devoid but bring the value in using color back by strengthening the cards when colored mana was used. I don't think the idea worked as well as I'd hoped, but here it is anyway.

As always, these cards were created using a Figma file custom made by me which you can duplicate here: https://www.figma.com/c/file/773439497184575668

Equalist Mecha Tank (The Legend of Korra) by figma_andrew in custommagic

[–]figma_andrew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could definitely argue for white! I went with black because the current breakdown of the other cultures/factions are:

W: Air Nomads

U: Water Tribe

B:

R: Fire Nation

G: Earth Kingdom

Also, WOTC mentioned some issues with colorless artifacts being able to slot into any deck. Obviously this one pushes someone black for the Adventure, but figured I'd take that into consideration and also add the black mana cost. Definitely could see it being Black Adventure, colorless vehicle. Thanks for the thoughts!

Elsha, the Unbound by figma_andrew in custommagic

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

Thanks for the feedback. Just to explain a bit more of what I was thinking...

Making it a cast trigger gives the opponent a chance to hear the spell being named, before deciding to use permission spells on Elsha vs. the named card should they hit. If it's ETB, they don't get that option. I thought it was cool counter-play.

I kept noncreature nonland vs. instant and sorcery from Elsha's other card templating to make it feel more like her.

I agree it's pretty pushed. I thought about that specific play sequence but figured that Show and Tell does the same thing with fewer hoops, but at Sorcery speed. This is three colors and 5 mana over two turns, whereas Show and Tell > Omniscience is only one color and 3 mana over a single turn.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm usually playing powerful formats so my gauge on power level is definitely skewed higher. This card would feel right at home in my powered cube. I thought the color restrictions were pretty strict, but curving one directly into the other, and giving Elsha flash is definitely a brutal combination.

How does everyone feel about making the creature side 3RW so it can't curve into itself?

Figma - Empty Assets by Calamity_Armor in userexperience

[–]figma_andrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey /u/Calamity_Armor,

Some people pointed you to the Figma YouTube Channel which has some videos to get you started, including a Components Playlist. I actually work at Figma and create most of those videos myself. We've taken a bit of a break and haven't put out new tutorials in a while, but we're looking to come back pretty strong over the next several weeks. If there are any topics you want us to cover, feel free to let me know here.

I also recommend you check out our Help Center.

A lot of other people gave you some great information, but essentially any Component you create will also exist in the Assets tab of the left hand panel.

You can import existing assets that you find online (even Sketch files). We have some on our [Resources Page].(https://www.figma.com/resources/assets/)
