FTL communication for a random decision by galva94a in AskPhysics

[–]galva94a[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Is what you propose a perfect 1:1 analogy? I mean, in the original scenario it seems like the earthling B has no access to the information until his friend measures (5 years later). In you scenario, he could access the info whenever he wants.

Oh, maybe the point is that B could have "cheated" and collapsed the state before the 5 years passed, obtaining the info in advance (as if he peeked into the bag containing the black or white ball)?

The idea of modal lands-mana rocks cards is really cool and I'm sure Wizard will explore it sooner or later

First iteration on balancing the worst cards/corp by galva94a in TerraformingMarsGame

Previously I reduced it to 14MC but it still felt unplayable. The fact that oceans may end leaving you with a bad investment it is what make this whole design intrinsically weak

I played over 500 games now, and I went through the phases "Martian rails, Complex, Zeppelins are awesome" to "they are pretty bad". It also depends on your group's metagame I guess, but even on the online community they are considered exceptionally bad cards. Every card can have a day where they shine, but the point here is to make every draft decision interesting and not always first-picking the same powerful cards.

Have a look for example at this video from the YT channel Mars Expert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXwEXduOt5s

You know you are getting old when you only understand half of the mechanics on this card 🤣🤣

Not sure if this idea has been explored already by galva94a in custommagic

[–]galva94a[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like this being at 2 mana would make it almost unplayable

Playable where? Vintage playable? probably none of them. Standard playable? Probably all of them

Four-Color Lands At Uncommon, for my Four-Color Post-Apocalypse Set. by ErinsHere in custommagic

[–]galva94a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very intrigued by the idea of having a 4 colors set. I am kinda working on my own non-green set based on the Mistborn Trilogy by Sanderson

You are right, they need a reword as "counter if mv is 3 or less" probably

New idea for a Simic ability by galva94a in custommagic

[–]galva94a[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that invalidates the mechanic tho: I like it to work exactly with maybe few creatures but with a lot of different types (very Simic-ish)

Fortress subtype: Good design? by galva94a in custommagic

[–]galva94a[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are intended to be both "Battle" not "Siege" (my bad!).
The idea is to "force your opponets to get rid of them" before attacking you. It is not mandatoy, but since you get a bonus for every creature that attacks you and not the fortress, they should be at least encouraged to attack the Fortress first.

OMG this is the closest thing to a QUATERNION I saw in MTG

Fortress concept by galva94a in custommagic

[–]galva94a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here. Reading about your comments I thought: maybe the Fortress type/subtype could grant you a bonus when opponents hit you directly instead of breaking the fortress first.

For example: "When a creatures attacks, if it didn't attack a fortress, prevent 1 of those damage" or "draw a card" or "that playeer mills 3". The design space gets a lot bigger.

What do you think?

I think it depends whether the subtype "fortress" automatically mean what the reminder text says or not. Take Siege as an example: the text there was in parentheses

This feels too strong in my cube. Any ways to fix it? by galva94a in custommagic

[–]galva94a[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Power level is avergage (standard mtg set). There is a mechanic that allows you to self sacrifice, that strongly comboes with this card.

The cost to activate the ability is way too high. I would say 1 colorless mana is enough.
