ostrichofevil Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Here's a thread to post custom Magic the Gathering cards that are Sanderson book themed. Here's my first one, Vin, Skaa Mistborn. (Her planeswalker/legendary enchantment creature sequel will be Vin, Ascendant Warrior) (Click the image to make it full size) Please post your own card ideas.

ostrichofevil Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Kaladin here: Nice, although a little expensive. Does the X in the mana cost have to be the same number as in the activated ability's cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Vins got gold background but she's monocoloured 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamEternal Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) I meant it to be a 7/7. And yes. It is expensive even for a 7/7, since it needs six especificaly colored mana plus X mana that you want to pay so his ability isn't useless. Plus, if both Xs are supposed to be the same, you should use markers or something like that. And that Vin card looks a little overpowered, at least the "steel" ability.

Oops...I meant that to be a colorless mana. It should have been 7 mana for a 7/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneSpren Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Sorry for the double post. New card: I made him gold because all houses used Hazekillers, so as I understand it he was neutral and worked for whoever would pay him. He also would fight all kinds of Allomancers It should say your opponent's "Creatures". I play Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and Hearthstone, so my terminology is messed up.

DreamEternal Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 The hazekiller... It can't be gold unless the way such things are determinated changed. Gold is multicolor, and only artifacts and superexceptional stuff like eldrazi can be colorless. Plus, just because the card is a mercenary doens't mean it must be colorless, since colors are as much about mechanics as they are about flavor. I'd say it should be white on default, if only because it is a soldier and its ability seems to be somewhere between white and blue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6000j Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just some advice, use Magic Set Editor to make your cards, it is much more powerful. Also, Kaladin is too weak, the Hazekiller is too strong (3/3 for 3 colourless is way too good.). Vin is insane and wayyy off colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamEternal Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't say she is off-color(unless you mean the card frame should be red). Forcing creatures to attack and turning mana into damage are both associated with red, and regenerating creatures, while more a green thing, can be accepted. And her personality does seem to fit with red to me. Edited August 31, 2015 by CognitivePulsePattern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The One Who Reads Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Still can't make the formatting work properly but whatever . Vigilance and Regenerate are always nice for fatties even if the regen is expensive (the tap probably kills it) and I think this thread is going to see a lot of fatties 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT - To everyone who commented on it, I made Vin Gold because it looks cool and these aren't actual cards. I acknowledge that in a real set, it wouldn't be gold.

WayneSpren Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I really liked ostrichofevil's Allomancy ability, so here's a generic Mistborn: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/complete/full/2015/8/31/1441043408211343.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneSpren Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) As I think of it, Allomacy has a cost necause you have to buy metals. Feruchemy has a cost because you drain something from yourself, then use it. So I thought we would make Ferrings like, "Sazed loses -x/-x until end of turn. Sazed gains +x/+x during your next upkeep." I don't think we should use mana for Ferring powers. Edited September 1, 2015 by WayneSpren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sovereign Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) And Sazed: Wow, Sazed is absurd. Essentially it would be 1 mana: Draw a card. The rest of the abilities hardly matter... That is WAY too good. Edited September 1, 2015 by Iron Eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is WAY too good. Maybe it should be changed so that to draw a card, you have to store memory by discarding one. And now I present...

The Sovereign Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe it should be changed so that to draw a card, you have to store memory by discarding one. Yeah, if it was Draw a card and then discard a cell the card would still be really good without being overtly broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamEternal Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Yes. Or, to make it more exceptional, instead make it a passive that allows you to send cards from your hand to the top of your library when you would be forced to discart them. Of course, it should be enough to remove all other abilities. Also, if someone makes Sazed, Hero of Ages into a planeswalker, he should gain loyalty points by tapping himself and not untapping in your next untap step, to show how bad he is at actualy being active after ascending.

Of course, it should be enough to remove all other abilities. Also, if someone makes Sazed, Hero of Ages into a planeswalker, he should gain loyalty points by tapping himself and not untapping in your next untap step, to show how bad he is at actualy being active after ascending. That doesn't seem to have much to do with Sazed. Good idea, but it doesn't really hurt for a planeswalker to be tapped. I also think that Sazed's big ability should be to exile all permanents and player's hands, shuffle them back into the deck, then each player searches for 10 lands and 1 creature and puts them onto the battlefield. Then, everybody draws back up to 7 cards. Next card: Metal Vial! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it would offer an interesting mechanic that some decks with lots of vidency, recicling and drawing and discarting could use somehow. For the planeswalker idea, if it is written in the permanent itself that it can't use abilities while tapped, it doens't matter if it is a planeswalker or not.

Alfa Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm terrible at designing MTG cards (yet), but I think there shoul be Hoid as a planeswalker with all kinds of random effects (and other Worldhoppers as planeswalkers too) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a good idea, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
