Custom Cards forum

go to the Custom Set thread, I'm getting rid of these to reduce clutter.

It probably needs to lose Deathtouch, but it's an interesting idea

This seems pretty green. Another great design, impressive. Even the flavour text seems close to perfect.

Mechanically, most of the abilities are green:

  • Deathtouch and Trample, though rarely seen on one card, both are mainly green keywords.

  • The first static ability is a more staxy version of Roaring Slagwurm. It's a white ability at it's core, but since it only hits non-creature artifact, this should be fine as a bend.

  • The Lure ability is a very green thing, and the fact it only hit artifact creatures nicely complements the first static ability.

The one thing I'm not to fond of is the typeline. The beast creature type fits the cardname, but this really feels like it wants a secondary race creature type. Maybe make it a monkey or ape in addition? This would even underline it's relation to artifacts i.e. Tools.

I'm wondering if this is too efficient as an 8/8 staxy boardwipe for seven mana. Other thoughts on this?

seshiro_of_the_orochi - I think an Ape creature type would be great for it, and i could easily downsize it to 7/7 or 6/6

Omniscience_is_life - Do you think replacing it with something like Hexproof would be better?

Oh god don't protect it

Probably just add reach. Very green. Think big baddies like Zacama, Primal Calamity, or Elder Gargaroth

I did...LOL

Also should I create a thread where I just post the cards in the same thread as I make them, then get feedback? To avoid cluttering the custom cards forum because I'm gonna be making a LOT of cards.

Yeess...? No? I want you to get recognition for your cards and if you don't make new shiny forums people won't click but also half the active forums are made by you and I just want to help people build their various tribal decks, custom cards isn't entirely my jam nor some others'... IDK man, maybe you could make one more forum with a really clickbait-ey title, draw everyone in and then tell 'em this is where you're gonna be posting henceforth? That's my suggestion haha!

Alright, I'll go for it!

I really want to reinforce what Omniscience_is_life said: Oh god, don't protect it. Vigilance or reach seems great.

Alright, good point, protecting it is OP lol, I'll give it reach.
