Card of the Day - Path of the Enlightened

I wanted to make a cycle of uncommon enchantments that had an off-color activation cost.  They should be useable in limited in a deck that didn't include the 2nd color, but would be powerful if both colors were used.

Also, TAPPING ENCHANTMENTS.  That is all.

Card of the Day - Skareth Bladewielder

There really should be a 2/2 Double strike for 1RW.  So I made it.

Card of the Day - Paranoia

Creepy eye!

Card of the Day - Walking Bomb

This guy is construct-ed worthy.  (See what I did there?)

Card of the Day - Skarren Warlord

This guy can get real mean.

Card of the Day - Mindmoss Overgrowth

I love this design.  It feels like blue and green had an awesome enchantment baby.

Card of the Day - Duergar Brute

Red/White guy.  Nothin' fancy.

Card of the Day - Fellowed Minstrel

I like this combination of abilities.  It gives you a better chance of killing what you want to.

Card of the Day - Relinquish

This is a different version of Blatant Thievery. It costs 2 mana less, but the opponents choose which cards to give up. 

Card of the Day - Thran Power Stone

The Thran were really cool and made a bunch of stuff way back when.  This card captures their flavor, while being almost Mishra's Workshop in artifact form.

Card of the Day - Storm Dragon

This guy is a color-shifted Shivan Dragon.  I just thought he was cool.  Also:  not too powerful for uncommon.

Card of the Day - Korrud's Phylactery

If you don;t know who Korrud is, you can find his card here.

Back in business!

Hey guys, thanks for commenting on my cards this month!  I'll be going back and commenting on your comments today, as I finally have internets in my new apartment. 

Card of the Day - Narcus the Infected

This guy is awesome in multiplayer games, as his first two abilities work better against multiple opponents. Plus, he's a werewolf.  That's cool.

Card of the Day - Anrha, Chaos Acolyte

I like the idea of planeswalkers making emblems that do small things.  This guy just makes your direct damage spells a tiny bit better.  Pretty sweet.

Card of the Day - Myrra Finn

I like making planeswalkers with static abilities, as it seems like a reasonable evolution of the card type.

Card of the Day - Olai Potae, Lady of Fungus

If you don't know, trample and deathtouch work really well together.  You only have to assign enough damage to a blocking creature to destroy it, and the rest carries over to the defending player. 

Card of the Day - Yari Mizell, the Living Brain

It's Planeswalker week!  This guy can't really protect himself, but he can draw you a boatload of cards!

Card of the Day - Death Incarnate

Rough cost, but crazy good ability.  First turn Dark Ritual + this = good game (unless they have a quick answer.)

Card of the Day - Enticing Aroma

Green's options for creature removal are always based on you having bigger creatures than the other guy.  Here's another entry into that field.  Put it on a big guy and watch all the tiny guys die.

Card of the Day - The Tick

Just for fun. :)

Card of the Day - Study

I feel like a lot of the time people will scry 0, but it's nice to have the option.

Card of the Day - Malignant Knowledge

A scaling Sign in Blood.  I think this just might be exactly what monoblack needs.


edit  3/12/15.  Wizards has actually made a card with the exact same rules text, Damnable Pact, which was spoiled today and will be included in the Dragons of Tarkir set.

Card of the Day - The TARDIS

Of course the TARDIS is indestructible.  And also it travels through time, so there you have it.

Card of the Day - The 10th Doctor

As may of you know, I'm a big Doctor Who fan, so naturally, I've made some cards based on the series. 

If you've seen the show, you know that the Doctor is totally a planeswalker.

His third ability summons the TARDIS.  If you have any guesses to what it does, this would be a good time to throw them out, as tomorrow's card is exactly that.

Card of the Day - Icy Excavation

Here's a powerful card draw spell.  It can hurt a lot if you don't use a lot of snow cards in your deck.

Card of the Day - Cold Denial

Here's a tack-on ice counter counter.

Card of the Day - Cover in Frost

Here's an enabler for ice counter strategies.

Card of the Day - Winter Bolt

Here's a simple tack-on job.  It's just a Lightning Bolt with a ice counter and a snow mana added on.  Still awesome and you get bonus ice counters.

Card of the Day - Super 4thstravaganza!

Boom.  Here's your fireworks.

Happy 4th of July, Americans.

Card of the Day - Cote of Doves

Fun fact:  a flock of doves is called a Cote!

Another fun fact:  Not all creatures in Frostmere are Snow creatures!

Card of the Day - Coldfire Whelp

A small icy dragon with superfreeze breath.  booyah.

Counter Production

One of the things I wanted in Frostmere was a counter theme.  A lot of blocks have used counters as a theme. A recent example is the Scars of Mirrodin block.

Since most of the plane is covered in ice, I thought Ice counters would be fun to play around with. They are a callback to a few rares from Coldsnap and one uncommon from Ice Age (which is being reprinted in Frostmere.)

We're going to be expanding on what Ice counters actually mean for the permanent that they are on.  Some cards love to be iced up.

For example:

The icier this guy gets, the more powerful he is.


Other cards punish other players for being Iced up.  This zombie turns all your ice counters into liabilities.

Here's a card that helps you if you're playing with ice counters, and can hinder the opponent if he or she is using them.

Using him in decks with other two preview cards makes him useful in different ways.  You can use him to pump up your Rime Wolf, or give counters to opposing creatures.  Best of all, he can be used to hold down an enemy for a long time.

This week's cards all deal with ice counters in some way. 

Card of the Day - Elvish Pride

Permanent Giant Growth for elves.  Works well with yesterday's card of the day.

Card of the Day - Growth Shaman

Just a random elf.  Works well with tomorrow's card.

Just some things.

Just so you know, I'll be moving to a new apartment on the 1st of July, and the internet won't work for a few weeks.  I'm posting this month's cards ahead of time and scheduling them to post at midnight each night, as per usual.  I just won't be able to make many comments until I get internet access again.

Also:  The 3rd of July is my six month anniversary of starting the site.  Thanks to everyone for checking out my designs and commenting.  I hope the next six months will be this awesome.

Card of the Day - Sink into Mud

The art from this is from The Neverending Story.  There was a trivia question from way back when related to the art.

What was the name of Atreyu's horse?

(No Googling!)

Card of the Day - Horse Thief

I thought the flavor of this was spot-on.

Card of the Day - Knight Training

This one seems similar to Tempered Steel, but I'm sure it plays quite differently.

Card of the Day - Ahern Tiger

I wanted to make quite a few cards that do different thing to mounts.  I thought that this would be a nice combat trick for green.

Card of the Day - Legless Brute

This week's theme is Mount.  These are all cards from Frostmere.  None of the cards this week have mount, but they're all tied to it in some way.  Enjoy.

If you have no idea what Mount is all about, here's an example of a creature with mount:

There was much discussion about it in early May of this year.

Card of the Day - Unexpected Swoop

I like that you need a flyer to swoop down and eat a non-flyer.  Flavorful, and useful in decks with lots of fliers.

Card of the Day - Defender of Tersh

Here's an example of a non-snow card from Frostmere.  Not everything on the plane has ties to snow.

Card of the Day - Will of Ice

Draw a bunch of cards! And they should be snow cards!  So you can repeat ad nauseum! Hooray!

Card of the Day - Anguish of Ice

This reminds me of Braids.  Except snowier.  And it can kill planeswalkers and enchantments.

Card of the Day - Fury of Ice

Notice the mana costs of this cycle.

Card of the Day - Strength of Ice

Here's green's entry into the Snowfall cycle.  This one is unique in that it only triggers from Snow creatures entering the battlefield.

Card of the Day - Justice of Ice

I've decided that I'm generally going to be using the placeholder for all of the new cards of the day.  If you despise this idea, let me know.  It seems that most of the time I spend working on my cards is trying to find a piece of art that "kind of" fits. It takes away from me actually designing, and makes more busy work.  If anyone is an artist, and you have some art for cards I make, let me know!  You can email me at madolaf@hotmail.com!

Anyway, on to today's card.  This week's cycle is a rare enchantment cycle in Frostmere.  Each of them has a Snowfall trigger.  Enjoy!

oops.  I forgot to make it snow! (thanks to two faithful readers pointing it out)
