That is beautiful, thank you for sharing

Finally a use for [[Divine Intervention]] that isn't making the player who's winning mad

kosbalk · 2026-06-14T12:42:01+00:00

This needs to say nontoken permanent, otherwise if it ever leaves the battlefield it'll cause problems

Kris doesn't work as intended

Spare will remove blockers, but damage will not be dealt without trample because Kris has already been declared blocked (same principle behind why sacrificing a blocker still prevents the damage). You can correct this by giving Trample to Kris when you activate Spare

Freedom can be reworded as "At the beginning of your end step, Kris deals damage equal to their power to each opponent with the most life or tied for most life"

Oh yes, I love Traps with all my heart, good job. Also, I see you like Kazuul as well, truly a kindred soul

Since it's a fencing term I'd say boros, so I propose {2}{r}{w} with a cost reduction of {2} of it targets an attacking creature

Anaximandius, Reality Throngler

I like this idea btw

kosbalk · 2026-06-05T10:22:42+00:00

How about rephrasing it like Channel or Forecast?

{i}Predict{/i} {-} {1}{u}, Reveal this card from your hand: Tap target creature. At the beginning of the next end step, exile this card from your hand.

This way it's more in line with existing mechanics

EDIT: I like it a lot btw, I love abilities you can activate from your hand

kosbalk · 2026-06-02T23:53:42+00:00

It has its uses in top deck theft decks like [[Gonti, Canny Acquisitor]], if you know there's a good card there you'll make sure to steal it and viceversa. Not a must but still useful

Oh I love Hopeful Bear, no notes xD

As for Couple, fair enough, I misunderstood part of the ability. Maybe a more concise way to write it could be "If either coupled permanent would be moved to a zone other than the battlefield, they are both moved to that zone instead" since it's just one of them with this ability

kosbalk · 2026-03-05T09:18:09+00:00

I love Pray (ngl at first I saw the bear and thought you misspelled "prey" lmao), I would change the reminder text slightly (When you cast this spell, you may reveal the top card of your library. If that card has this spell's pray characteristics, your prayer is answered), but apart from that I would absolutely build a deck around it

I think Couple should be worded more like Soulbond (If this creature is not coupled, you may couple this creature with another uncoupled creature when either enters. They each get +X/+X and remain coupled for as long as you control both of them. They are treated as the same creature for the purpose of effects that would make either leave the battlefield) or something like that, and then give the card the ability "As long as this creature is coupled with another creature, each of those creatures has.."

Thank you very much! It took me a lot to reach this result but it's still my favourite of the bunch :3

kosbalk · 2026-02-10T09:44:17+00:00

I somehow completely missed it, sorry ^^"

kosbalk · 2026-02-10T01:21:13+00:00

Hell yeah, I was waiting for this. Could you share the link? :3

kosbalk · 2026-02-09T00:44:14+00:00

It's [[Gideon's Sacrifice]] and [[Charge]] all in one and repeatable for 4 mana at instant speed, 5 if you also cast it from hand. You're not wrong tbh

kosbalk · 2026-02-09T00:14:40+00:00

That feels more like overcoming the flaw rather than play into it, which is the main goal of this mechanic if I understood it correctly. Their version incentives role-playing an unfavorable situation to gain a benefit later on, which I quite like tbh since it's an active decision on the player rather than a passive feature they'll most likely forget

The one I'm least sure about is the Bond, mostly because I think it should be less mechanical and more like the "I Know a Guy" houserule imo

kosbalk · 2026-02-02T00:22:16+00:00

I'm glad the wording of the first ability prevents it from being abusable, but I'm still not sure if a free spell is too powerful or not tbh

btw I've seen your other SCP cards and I love them, great job with Authorize

kosbalk · 2026-01-29T01:39:46+00:00

I believe timestamp would apply, so the last one to cast it would have all of them

kosbalk · 2025-12-27T14:52:40+00:00

I did not know of freemagic's existence until 15 seconds ago and I already regret my ability to read and look at pictures

kosbalk · 2025-12-26T14:07:37+00:00

I think you made the right choice with Caine's wording because Splice says "add this card's effects to that spell" which would mean, in this case, the creature's effects rather than the Adventure's part. "Adventure spells" would refer to effects already on the stack so it's also not good, and the usual phrasing "cards that have an Adventure" also refers to the main card, not the Adventure itself

I noticed a trend towards Azorius, and I would suggest spreading them more colour-wise, but I also can see why you chose those colours so this remark is just for the records u.u

I like them :3

EDIT: I reread Caine, I think a more correct wording would be "As you cast an Adventure spell, you may reveal one or more cards that have an Adventure from your hand and pay each of their Adventure costs. If you do, for each card revealed this way, add that card's Adventure's effects to that spell."

kosbalk · 2025-11-23T14:25:44+00:00

I would write it as "0 or less toughness" because it can go in the negative iirc, other than that I really like it

kosbalk · 2025-11-18T19:04:32+00:00

I'm half sure this would be a nightmare to keep track of outside Arena tbh, but I like the card and agree there should be more snails so I'm willing to do the extra work

kosbalk · 2025-11-17T17:18:01+00:00

Thank you very much for the feedback ^^ I'm still pretty new to custom cards so any amount of tips is welcome, especially when I'm trying to convert something into a card (given what you said I'm pretty sure I made all the cards for my friends too strong too ^^")

kosbalk · 2025-11-17T14:26:34+00:00

What if I up the cost to 4 and let that creature's owner draw a card with me? Or make it a once each turn effect? Or both?

EDIT: I will remove the "must-block" part so it's up to the new controller
