Mtg Custom Card - Blog Posts

Another MTG custom card, MTG is missing a lot of Type combinations that you would think they would have done before or updated older cards to become. In this case 'GIANT BIRD' hasn't been done yet, even though we have "Giant Albatross"

MTG Ramblings Split Cards & Remixes

Split cards, originally designed for 'Unglued 2' but appearing in the game during 'Invasion block', are an odd mechanic, as they aren't really a mechanic, but simply wo cards printed side by side on one physical card. They give players a choice on what to use there cards for, a better version of this would be the Spree mechanic from 'Outlaws of Thunder Junction'. They have had new mechanics of there own added to them thought the years, most notable the Fuse mechanic allowing both sides to be played at one, or the After math mechanic that allowed one half to be only cast from the Graveyard, and now becoming enchantments with the Rooms in Dustmourn. These are not what I want to talk about today, what I want to tank about is them not remixing the cards.

Each side of a split card is a card in and of itself, so reprints can happen and should happen, yes by todays standers the mechanic is slow but it still has the possibility of being used. The names of split cards are that of '_&_' or ' _to_', but whit what limited split cards we have there are still a few that can be put into this system. Take 'Failure' from 'Failure to Comply' & 'Market' from 'Farm to Market', combining them will have 'Failure to Market', while not as pithy as the former two still works, both mechanically & in color combination. Or have 'Hide' from 'Hide & Seek' and 'Run' from 'Hit & Run' to get 'Run & Hide', both are from multicolor card, one ally one enemy color on each side, but as a single wedge color the card can still work, is it vastly overcoated? Yes, but the possibilities is still there.

And that's not touching on any cards not in a split card that could be put into one, as long as it isn't overly wordy, I had thought of the Split card 'Flourish' from Flower & Flourish' and the lone card 'Thrive' to make 'Flourish & Thrive'.

The following card images are meant for Illustration purposes of my idea:

More MTG stuff, Fish tribal isn't a thing yet, and some of the 'lesser' subtypes need a lord to help them out. It's meant to help with Fish & Zombie cards that have IslandWalk/IslandHome & Swamp walk. Convoke on a ability isn't something I have seen before, so have it represent a feeding frenzied is flavorful.

More MTG based stuff, this time a Illusion Lord commander because there are only 3 Illusion Legends, non of which benefits Illusions. Yes its hard to see, that's the point, both flavory & mechanically, yes the design may feel a bit disjointed, but if your running a Illusion Commander Deck there has to be something.

Been busy, thinking about life choices, etc. This started out as a MTG Custom Card, but with my hatred of Hasbro and there subsidiaries I don't know what to do with it. I still love the game and other properties it's associated with but can not reconcile with the owners....  I have not playtest it so have no Idea how bad it is. It is a Voltron style commander that has a reason for you to sacrifice it.
