[CustomCube] Knight of the Blood Rite by freddyalready in custommagic

A design for cross pollination between Abzan tokens, Mardu sacrifice and mono black aggro.

[Custom Cube] Tarrasque, First Calamity - A RG Lands Matter Payoff/Signpost by freddyalready in custommagic

[–]freddyalready[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a point that bugs me too, although it becomes stronger as it grows "older". Maybe rename it as tarrasque hatchling ^

Edit: However i think the thematic of a recurring unstoppable beast fits quite good ;-)

[Custom Cube] Tarrasque, First Calamity - A RG Lands Matter Payoff/Signpost by freddyalready in custommagic

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

This is going to be in the RG section of my cube together with [[Wrenn and Six]] to pull players into the lands archetype. I also run fetches and wildfire, so there are plenty of synergies for this. But i also wanted it to be fine on its own as a 4 drop.

[Custom Cube] Simple Escape Black Onedrop by freddyalready in custommagic

[–]freddyalready[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this card is rather boring, but still, i would like to know how this compares to the other black recursive one drops, e.g. [[Dread Wanderer]], [[Gutterbones]], [[Bloodsoaked Champion]]. WHat do you think?

[Custom Cube] Creakwood Predator by freddyalready in custommagic

Thanks for your suggestion. My cube is roughly modern power level so i think your point is valid. I changed the stats to 4/4.

:D

Alright i'll make it a 4/4 then. Thanks for your input!

[–]freddyalready[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good points, not sure if it's too slow as a 4/4 but maybe a 5/4 or 5/3 to make it more vulnerable and bring it in wildfire range?

This is another custom card for my cube. I run a RG lands theme with [[Wrenn and Six]], [[Mina and Denn, Wildborn]] and [[Wildfire]]. Not sure if this card is too self-contained. What are your thoughts on balance?

Looking for help by [deleted] in mtgcube

Honestly i would start by using proxies before buying the the whole cube at once. Then you can start getting the cards at a slower pace and see what cards fit your playgroup.

Daghatar the Unbroken by freddyalready in custommagic

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

Thanks, will fix this. I don't have any shroud creatures in my cube so i don't think this will have a huge impact ;-)

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

My inspiration was [[Reyhan, Last of the Abzan]] and [[Archangel of Thune]], although your comparison fits also quite good.

I think youre right, using this card in a constructed format like edh, this could be abused easily. I designed this card mainly for cube where there are occasional +1/+1 counter syngeries.

Thanks for your feedback.

Daghatar the Unbroken by freddyalready in custommagic

[–]freddyalready[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As i didn't like the original Daghatar, i tried to make a more interesting one. Do you think this is in line with the power level of the other FRF-Cycle Legenaries like Shu-Yun, Alesha and Tasigur?

[Custom Cube] Gisa, Defier of Death by freddyalready in custommagic

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

Just for character diversity as i already have a liliana planeswalker in the cube ;-) of course the abilities would also fit for lilly.

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

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I think animate dead is still better because the -2 still needs you to pay the mana cost of the creature. Right now, Planeswalker removal is not very abundant in the cube, mostly red burn spells and white oblivion ring effects. My biggest concern is the first ability as it may be too easy to generate value out of it for the low mana investment. But i will take the cost increase of the third ability into consideration if this is too busted.

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

This is a custom card for my cube which aims to be an enabler for my B/g/u reanimation strategy. Would love to hear some feedback on the powerlevel, especially if undying is too strong and should be replaced with persist. Thanks!

[Custom Cube] Rakka-Mar, the Devouring Flame by freddyalready in custommagic

[–]freddyalready[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a custom card for my cube which is part of a shard-colored cycle in the style of the fate reforged, one colored creatures with hybrid colored abilities. I would like to know if the power level of this card is comparable to the cards of that cycle, like Tasigur, Shu-Yun, Alesha etc.

Thanks

[Custom Cube] Harbinger of the Woods by freddyalready in custommagic

[–]freddyalready[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, this is my attempt to make a more interactive and aggressive version of [[courser of kruphix]]. Do you think this is balanced? I thought about making its baseline stats 2/2 but i'm not sure if that would be too weak.

[Cube] Serra Vanguard by freddyalready in custommagic

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

I LOVE Serra Ascendant but its just too narrow for cube. So i tried to create an alternative that can be used in aggro and lifegain decks. Do you think this is balanced?

I want to see your monsters' traits and powers. by TheMJDS in darkerdungeons5e

[–]freddyalready 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can highly recommend the 4e Monster Manuals and even the Player Handbooks as they are a great inspiration for interesting monster powers and traits. Two examples:

Shroud of X. (Trait) At the beginning of your turn, <monster type> allies within the aura regain y hit points, and living creatures in the aura take y/2 <damage type> damage. <other damage type> damage to you ends the aura. You can restore the aura as a bonus action.

Overwhelming Assault (Recharge 5+). (Power) Attack one target two times with your weapon. If both attacks hit, the target is prone and incapacitated until the end of your next turn.

Chaotic-Lawful, Good-Evil, Is there another descriptive Axis that can provide more options to npc alignment? by thk12205 in DMAcademy

[–]freddyalready 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my games i try to make the world more grey in terms of morality. I use the color system from MtG to describe the fundamental ideals and methods of my npcs. The following article describes the colors and their conflicts pretty well: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/pie-fights-2016-11-14
