Magic: the gathering is the world's premier trading card game.

These are two of the mechanics from a set my friends and I are creating! They can both go on any nonland card type.

(the art on the second card is by Robert-r on deviant art)

Watchful schoolgirl

is made for turn 8 or 9 in a game of draft when you're top decking and you want to give your next spell some oompf.

That being said, we want to experiment with Splurge using a combination of mana and alternate costs. I think this mechanic can easily be broken if we're too lenient but let's be real, you're not gonna play a card that makes you pay 6 to copy a creature spell outside of limited.

Path to Expulsion

is path to exile but worse.

Its probably still too good. But it's a neat example of this new mechanic, Momentum!

been thinking a lot about this line from Bojack Horseman lately

“I don’t know what to tell you. I’m happy for the first time in my life. And I’m not gonna feel bad about it. It takes a long time to realize how truly miserable you are, and even longer to see that it doesn’t have to be that way.”

It’s been a while since this episode premiered, but I think it’s time I start internalizing the essence of this.

At What Cost? Winners

Winners of the “At what Cost?” Contest!

1.  Mechanical Winner: Battleground Immolator by @wpandp

A card that is well designed, mechanically, plays in a fun and easy to understand matter, and is both easily approachable and can be taken a step further with some thoughtful construction. This card is a great example of a card I could see Wizards printing in the future. I like the resource being “land drops”, forcing you to go backwards on land as a reward for casting a powerful card, and while Wizards has approached this concept before, I believe this card takes it a step further.

2. Flavor Winner: Blood Prophet by @memniteshyamalan

An interesting take on Red’s share of the color pie in regards to card advantage, and design-wise I feel like making the pick random would have suited red better and made playing with this a bit more interesting, but I can’t deny that I love the flavor in regards to the “impending doom” aspect of prophesy. It pings an opponent almost as a warning, before the prophesied card (hopefully) wreaks havoc on your opponent.

3. Innovative Resource Winner: Mindbreather by @questionmark103805

This is one of those cards that seems broken at first, but gets more balanced as you read again and see how it plays. I love how this encourages a great deal of choices between immediate value and losing the creature or spreading out your card draw. It can be broken with most “no maximum hand size” cards, and I’d recommend a reword to prevent this, but the concept of using hand size as a resource caught me off guard altogether. Great work!

Congratulations to our winners, and it was particularly hard to pick a winner here due to some great entries all around. Also, I pinky promise to get out the contest on time next time round, :P.

Compilation will come soon.

Inthought it was interesting that artifact lands are a 10 on the Storm Scale, but Darksteel Citadel was in M15 without any issues (as far as I know). Is the 10 more about sets that care heavily about artifacts?

One card is very different than the “mechanic” returning.

.... just give me ONE more card with storm. Just one. I promise I'll be happy.

PSA: Beware The Quartering

P S A  | TO THOSE REBLOGGING THE VIDEO ABOUT STAN LEE

Hey Guys. I’m seeing a video getting reblogged around our fandom communities lately that reports on Stan Lee’s protections being removed by a Judge, and how he’s in a very dark place. I Totally Agree that this is a very important topic that we as a community need to be aware of and should raise alarm bells about. HOWEVER: A WORD OF WARNING Please, please consider your sources when you hear something like this. If you have learned of the issue by watching The Quartering’s video, then I urge you to find another source and share/reblog/promote that. The Quartering is a YouTube channel hosted by Jeremy Hambly, who is a seriously dangerous and problematic person. He has had multiple videos removed by YouTube from both this channel and his other channel (UnSleeved Media) for promoting harassment, toxic bullying, and hate speech. He is known for making videos that mock “SJW”s, “White Knights,” “Beta Males” and any women who attempt to engage in gaming circles such as Magic: The Gathering. His harassment (and endorsement of his followers’ harassment) of the prominent cosplayer Christine Sprankles actually became so terrible that she quite cosplaying altogether and removed herself from social media. And Wizards of the Coast has issues a Lifetime Ban from all tournaments because he is recognized as a toxic member of the community. 

Just look at his other videos, on this channel alone:

References for when he was banned, his recorded harassment, and his toxic contributions to M:TG

This man unleashed thousands of his fans on a woman in Magic simply because she enjoyed cosplaying as the characters. His since deleted YouTube videos used all the same tactics as those in GamerGate to violate and attack Zoe Quinn and Leigh Alexander. He is NOT TRUSTWORTHY and completely undeserving of viral promotion. Please exercise extreme caution if you are going to share his message with others, or endorse his channels as legitimate information sources within the nerd/gaming community. It could do so much harm. 

As an alternative to sharing his video, I have located a few other sources that also share Stan’s troubling battle for autonomy. They are below: 

Thank you for taking the time to read all this. My heart literally raced when I saw this horrible person on my dash today, and I hope that by staying aware, we save others from his abuse.

I made the mistake of posting that shithead’s orginal post too. If you reblogged from me please get rid of it and use this one instead! I checked myself to be sure and TheQuartering is a fucked up dude. Please don’t give his post traffic. Use one of the suggestions or find something else! This topic is still important!

that dude is a disgrace to magic players
