[MtG] GitP Regulars as Magic the Gathering Cards

[Gildedragon]

Seems like it's overly complicated. Having too many separate components on a card draws the focus away from each of them, and makes it less than the sum of its parts...
Same as above.

Id make Dragons Hoard 2 cards. Drop the mana generation from Dragons Hoard and leave the rest as is, because the first bit is how to get gold counters and the other 2 are how you use them. Then id put the Mana generation for another card, Dragon's Lair perhaps?

I get what you're saying. And probably makes more sense; though the mana generation is intended as an early use for this card; and a way to have the card have a small narrative, from the dragons' birth and forming of the horde, to the destruction of the horde by thieveses

[Xuldarinar]

It would be straight up required for me.

I'm kind of curious what I would get brought in as. Strangely enough, I'm a white/green kinda person rather than the blue/red kind that would work for an "easy" purple workaround.

(That's permission, if people are curious)

Curiously, purple was going to be the color between Blue and Black, so it is actually funny you say you would be White/Green. To me anyways.

We actually did get a 6th "color." Waste mana/ "Colorless" with quotes / diamonds!... It has it's own basic land and everything.

Hi Viola! What brings you--ooh, is that a card for me?
I like it. It's in my colors, and the abilities do fit me. You used hybrid mana correctly too!
I think I remember that flavor text as something I said once, a long time ago. How did you find that?
... I don't have a card for you right now. What will I do?

Hi!
What probably brought me here was mostly because it was reminiscent of the old shippings thread way back when.

Glad you like it. I did way too much background research trying to make it, and trying to make it so it fit everything and was balanced: first I went to the What Colors of Magic [...] thread and read what you wrote there, distilling the essence of what you said about each color and how it applies to you. Then I went to your profile to find random things and recent posts – which, honestly is kind-of stalkerish, but I figured it would be alright for the purposes of this thread. Using a lot of Google, I looked up what abilities are associated with what color and sentiment, and how they're generally fluffed/flavored, and matching it to what you said in that thread. Then I looked up dozens of sample cards (because I haven't played in long enough to remember) trying to properly balance it ((because of what happened last time I tried making a MtG card, with everyone calling it underpowered and underwhelming and weird)) and base the mechanics and how the costs work off of real cards.

For the flavor text I did site-specific google searches for random quotes and "Blue Ghost". It was in an old Birthday thread for you.
It's fine that you don't have a card for me; I wasn't expecting one and I hadn't even posted permission yet, either. It's not that necessary anyway; guilting you into making one would make me feel guilty. Plus, you still were going to render the Fel Bargain card.

Anyway, I just spent too long rambling my thoughts and I really need to start shadowing someone else to make a card for them.

Oh, you stalked him? Subarashi.

[Xefas]

My only experience with Magic The Gathering was a brief one during the Shards of Alara set. So you all will have to forgive me in advance, as I get the gist of Magic, but don’t have any of the deep wells of experience or knowledge that the rest of you do.

This is for Amechra, who took the official Wilder class — garbage with grievously unrealized potential — and then realized that potential as the exceptional Brainspark. It’s everything I wanted out of a psionic class. So, here’s to you. You blue-playing monster.

[Xuldarinar]

We actually did get a 6th "color." Waste mana/ "Colorless" with quotes / diamonds!... It has it's own basic land and everything.

Granted, and it is wonderful. But it isn't purple.



And it doesn't use Portal lands.

[Snowbluff]

Kozilek, the Worst Eldrazi Titan, is holding a portal! Look at it! Oh... he turned it into a Wastes...

Full card art, though. Can your non-zendikar land say that?!

[Xuldarinar]

..Well.. i've never heard of land talking.

Unless it is a genius loci...

[Svata]

Eh, the whole plane kinda is.

[Snowbluff]

Eh, the whole plane kinda is.

Right now it's saying, "AHRHGR?! What are these tentacle things?! AND WHY ARE THEY EATING ME?! ARRRGH!" #eldrazilife

[Xuldarinar]

Can we just say purple is colorless and colorless is purple?

[Red Fel]

Another Fel card (render to come later):

Fel Bargain 1B
Enchantment (R)
When Fel Bargain enters the battlefield, search your library for a card and put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 2 life.

So, wait. You spend two mana, draw a card of your choice, and then basically lose 2 life forever until/unless this card is destroyed?

... I dig it.

[Snowbluff]

Can we just say purple is colorless and colorless is purple?

Color with no colour is now color.
0_0
0__0
0___0
That makes me bleed from my head. That mean I approve.

[ThePurple]

Can we just say purple is colorless and colorless is purple?

I am not colorless! I am purple and I am proud!

[Xuldarinar]

I am not colorless! I am purple and I am proud!

I meant for all intents and purposes of game mechanics.

You are purple. Though... which shade of purple?

What hexadecimal code is your shade of purple?

[Snowbluff]

I am not colorless! I am purple and I am proud!

No, you're colourless now.

[Xuldarinar]

No, you're colourless now.

What was once a portal.. is now desolate.

[Lord_Gareth]

So, wait. You spend two mana, draw a card of your choice, and then basically lose 2 life forever until/unless this card is destroyed?

... I dig it.

I also made you a card!

[Snowbluff]

What was once a portal.. is now desolate.

Alas, poor holes in space... I never played you well.

I also made you a card!

What where?! How many Red Fel cards do we have?

[ThePurple]

What hexadecimal code is your shade of purple?

#400080

The sexiest purple.

[Lord_Gareth]

What where?! How many Red Fel cards do we have?

For Red Fel, because too many people skip the scheming part of Hell.

Stained Glass Demon4(U)(B)
Creature - Demon
Flying
When ~ enters the battlefield, exile all other permanents. For each permanent exiled this way, it's owner puts a token in play that's a copy of that permanent.
5/5

Iffy on the costing...

Here, dude. I lust for feedback.

[Svata]

Ok, so here are the cards, rendered properly.

Spoiler: FEL

Show

Spoiler: Tippy, God of Ideas

Show

Sorry for not having images.

Also, thoughts?

[Lord_Gareth]

And just noticed that phone posting killed my grammar on that card. Will correct when I can.

[Draconium]

What is a dragon without their Hoard?
Very Angry

As others have said, nice card, but a bit complicated, and might do better as two. Still, I like it.

What where?! How many Red Fel cards do we have?

Great, I started a trend...

[Elricaltovilla]

What where?! How many Red Fel cards do we have?

The real travesty is that despite all of these Red Fel cards popping up, not one of them mentions his incredible cooking skills.

[Xuldarinar]

#400080

The sexiest purple.

This Purple?

Good choice.

[illyahr]

Hey Svata, you forgot to give a value for Tippy's power and toughness.

[ThePurple]

This Purple?

Good choice.

No, it's ThePurple, not ThisPurple.

[Jallorn]

Do I count as enough of a regular to get a card? I'm around every now and then for a good long time now.
My colors would probably be Simic, maybe Temur.
