The Elder Scroll (TES)
Custom Cards forum

About a year ago I announced I was going to try and make an entire 260+ card Elder Scrolls set. I began, but without direction. I also was heavily overworked and stressed.
Now that I have more time with my new job, I'll be able to work on it again.
Just posting singles now. As I finish, I'll make one giant post with all of the content.
I originally slated it for Oblivion, but Morrowind has far more content. However, having said that, I would like to think just a general TES dump would be nice. But mixing elements of Skyrim and Morrowind or Daggerfell and Arena might sit weird, chronologically.
The events of Morrowind and Oblivion are only 3 years apart. But Oblivion and Skyrim are over 200 years apart.
So a set merging Morrowind and Oblivion would actually be perfectly fine to do.

If you pay 8 and discard your hand, -2 and "discard your hand", you get 2x extra turns. If he's at 4 and goes to 2, you can get a 3rd.
Or at 1, he moves to 2 and 3 on the next turns, so you get a third anyway.
But it costs you your hand

Maybe it should be to exile it, to prevent loops? Because as long as you have a healthy boardstate, or ways to untap it, you could potentially loop infinite turns.
I think exiling it is a far safer option.

I'll just sacrifice my Ornithopter to Tinker it out and then untap it with Voltaic Key, like in the old days :)
Really though, this is what a mythic should be in my mind. Sure it has drawbacks, but like TheOfficialCreator said, as soon as you read it you're trying to figure out how to break it. And the payoff for breaking it is quite high!
I'm excited to see the rest of the TES set as you release it!

Mirage Mirror is the poor man's Masterful Replication with the Mirror Gallery.
State based actions occur the next time priority changes. That is why copying an Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite gives -4/-4 to all creatures you don't control. Before state based actions are checked, the -4/-4 has taken hold. And as they are being checked and resolving, the -4/-4 exists.
So it may be the case that you can "tap and sacrifice in response"?
I honestly have no clue here. Uncharted Territory for me.

I actually really like this! I was trying to think of ways to break it, but even with things like Daretti, Scrap Savant it's not really broken. Great design!!
