#MTGMoxtober Day 3: Pawn

 A simple minion who is used for nefarious purposes.  The true definition of a pawn.

Card of the Day - Hateful Fiend

I think it's about time that I get back into designing.  I know I promised all of ya'll that I would be doing a card every day, and I've obviously not done that.  New promise: sometimes I will make cards, and sometimes they will be good.   That is all.

Card of the Day - Brutal Mako

Sharks are black because they are selfish and do whatever they can to get on top (of the food chain.) This card is a nearly functional reprint of Sengir Vampire, with menace substituted for flying.  I think menace gives it a more interactive feel in combat than flying does.

Card of the Day - Gilt-Leaf Witch

Lorwyn elves have antlers! That is all.

Card of the Day - Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor

If you're not familiar with Gix, he was one of the original Phyrexian baddies. You can learn a bit more about him here.

Card of the Day - Exchange Favors

So Hollee said to me tonight, "Are there any bargain cards? Like a card that can let you trade a card in your hand with a card in an opponent's hand?" 

I thought for a minute and couldn't think of one, so I made it.

I had to rejigger the wording to make it mutual exile instead of just trading cards in hands, but if it makes you feel better, you can put that card in your hand if you like.  I give you my permission.

Card of the Day - Grinning Pest

Annoying flier. I'm into it.

Card of the Day - Flayer Demon

Card of the Day - Coldmire Dead

Skeleman.

Card of the Day - Obliteration Blast

Are these effects in the right order?  Does the spite ability need to be first?

Card of the Day - Eternal Unrest

It's been a while since I did any real work on Frostmere, but now that Saturdays are full of flavor, I thought I would show off the Story Spotlight cards from that set.  Here is the beginning of the story of Frostmere:

In the secluded, frozen, peaceful plane of Frostmere, something has gone wrong. Those who have passed on just won't stay dead. Two days ago, the shambling forms of the previously living started coming home. They aren't bloodthirsty, but they are confused and easily angered. The dead who no longer have bodies wander through the streets of Tersh, the Crown City. Their wails are heard throughout the night, longing for the rest of their tortured souls.

King Micah looks out from his balcony, frowning. A day full of planning has left him weary. Half of the kingdom's soldiers needed to be deployed to Artoa, helping the people of the borderlands defend against the attacks of the wildlife. In such a small kingdom, half of the soldiers is only twenty men.

Suddenly, the King's advisor, Barlo speaks. He is standing in the doorway, hands folded.

"My Lord," he says, "a pigeon has arrived." 

Card of the Day - Crippling Anxiety

Sometimes, you come to a realization that you don't have the motivation to be the best you can. You drift through life hoping that things will work out.

You're almost 40 and you haven't reached your life's goal. You're too afraid to do what you want because you have to sacrifice a lot to do it. There are people counting on you to stay exactly where you are. 

How many times will you sacrifice the creature this becomes attached to before sacrificing anything else?  My guess is over 90%, but I may be wrong.

Card of the Day - Hellevator

So there's this show on Netflix called Hellevator.  It's a horror themed game show and it's been running non-stop in my apartment for the last few hours. Then this happened. What have I done?

Card of the Day - Dangling Predator

snek

Card of the Day - Zombieland

Just for fun.
