Card of the Day - Turn into Newt

I noticed today that blue and green share the ability to change power and toughness on creatures.  This is a mix of Lignify and Illusory Wrappings. I think it's okay.

Card of the Day - Vaporsprout

I thought of this one in the shower while pondering the nature of card draw and creatures.  Hystrodon and Thieving Magpie came to mind, and I thought "Why not make it hybrid?" Flash is a blue and green mechanic and lets the Vaporsprout replace itself right away, if necessary.

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 - Grand Entrance


It's been a while since I've been posting cards, and for that I apologize.  Here is my re-entry into the world of custom card design.  Let's see where this goes.

Card of the Day - Desperate Recruiter

I designed this guy a little while back, and I can't help but be reminded of Hanweir Garrison from Eldritch Moon.  The Garrison is better, but this is a good card, nonetheless.

Card of the Day - Chilltouch Dead

I like simple french vanilla creatures sometimes. I kind of want to make him a skeleton, but the picture is clearly a zombie.

Card of the Day - Winter Harbinger

Here's a simple uncommon that's going to be in the next round of playtests.  For the uncommons, my first playtest will have 8 of each color, as well as 1 of each color pair as a snow hybrid and 1 of each color pair as a non-snow hybrid.  The commons had each hybrid card be snow, but the uncommons are going to work a little differently, at least in the first round of testing.  There will also be 10 artifact/colorless cards and 10 lands at uncommon for a total of 80 uncommons.

Card of the Day - Feral Yeti


Affinity is strong.  In playtesting, this guy regularly came down on turn 4.  A 4/4 with haste is a little too strong in limited on turn 4.  I added a few more mana to his cost and one less toughness so he can be more easily taken care of.

Card of the Day - Spiteful Brutalizer

The main antagonists of the Frostmere block are the devils that spew forth from the rift at Gargut Glacier.

Card of the Day - Mourning Sivr

Bradley Rose's plan to make a set has inspired me to finally get a whole set together instead of just individual cards.  The cards I post for a wile will be a part of Frostmere.  I'm finally getting it together.
