2-color lands with a cycle to go with them
[/quote]I like the dual-land idea. I sketched out a dual-land swamp tile creature idea, but I wasn’t sure about having stuff that needs new content or code.
I think they’re a bit too good at the moment. IMHO you’d need to make them at least 5 faeria. Perhaps land-specific traits too? like Moss Elemental being 2/3 jump taunt 5 faeria?
How would the Primeval Colossus count them? Just 1 special land?

Totally original art I think - nobody’s ever seen her before, right?
(srsly, character is copyright so don’t use - it’s fair use on this post tho IIUC, kinda)

To top off the monstrous ocean creatures theme, here’s a legendary creature to go with it. Art shamelessly jacked from MTG’s Colossal Whale.
I like quite a few of these. I’d say this is way too many blue + aquatic creatures to add. But picking the best say 5 might be good - unless you can think of other very situational areas for the other colors to balance vs blue-aquatic.
There is one really big problem with this set that I see, however: Blue non-aquatic vs blue aquatic is terribly unbalanced now.
Seaborn - Seems like a good keyword, but I’m not sure that doesn’t collect faeria shouldn’t be separate, so you can have aquatic ocean-summoned faeria collectors if you want them.
I actually would like Disfaerian as a keyword for doesn’t collect faeria. And another for “doesn’t enable adjacent land production” - Non-terragenic? 
.
Best cards IMHO:
-
Sandbar Lurker - Adds interesting strategy, requires more planning then most.
-
Man O’ War - I’d like more cards that manipulate attack power negatively.
-
Benthic Kraken - Great land destroying mechanic.
-
Maritime Merchant - Good positional strategy.
-
Hefty Geezer - Probably won’t survive with that name though. (Assuming it only applies to creatures on the board)
-
Imperial Fireship - Aquatic ranged is good, and I like the special power.
-
Nemesis of Legends - Very evil, but not sure why it’s nemesis of legends, seems more like nemesis of jesters and farmboys . There’s a tiny ambiguity - if two have equal attack it picks a random one, right? Just difficult to fit that in the text.
Misc comments:
-
Ocean Trawler - Seems mostly balanced for a faeria generator, but I wonder if it’d be better with faeria collecting (see comment on seaborn above) - as it is it’s probably just going to sit right at the back like a cistern or faeria tree.
-
Tsunami - I still think it’s random unpredictable non-red AoE and like it is it’ll just be a source of frustration because you can’t plan vs it. Lots more lands (and maybe less faeria to compensate) to give warning and it’ll be good IMHO. I also think ruling out flying makes it uneven even if it does make sense thematically. Also - just an idea to consider, what about 1 damage per adjacent ocean tile per creature instead of a flat 4?
-
Looming Storm - I kinda like the idea, but it’s very OP vs neutral (not that anyone goes that much). I guess punishment is similar though.
Some problem cards IMHO:
-
Killer Whale: Hugely OP I think. Venduran force costs the same (and is cheapish), yet this guy can hit anything adjacent to an ocean or friendly land within 4 tiles (just place a lake 1st). And it synergizes with flood letting it hit anything anywhere within 4 tiles.
-
Healing Mist is really, really OP. If you go small units and say have 5 out, just move them all to lakes for 1 turn and you get 10 health for 2 faeria.
Three more in keeping with your theme:
Interesting cards. Land denial could be another blue mechanic to help Aquatic creatures.
Ghost ship is OP for sac. when it becomes 0 for 0/0 it dies instantly and feeds Soul Eater and Bone Collector and you can do it again and again and again…
The unwritten rule here would be that once it becomes 0/0, it disappears entirely and doesn’t get added to your hand.
Pandora treasures in your ladder games? Also, I’ve seen this suggested before, but it’d be nice if RNG-generated cards were revealed to your opponent when they are made to allow for counterplay.
Okay, thanks for the reply.
I had a similar one in my discard pile but I’ll go dredge it up …
But I don’t like the excessive RNG.

What do you use to make custom cards?
That tool is pretty good. Easy to use, too!
So this afternoon I used the tool to write out some ideas I had with abilities that I feel currently are absent and/or promote multiple colors in a deck. My grammar was a bit messy though.

Nice. I really like Enchanted Forest.

Thanks. I like that one over most of the cards i made.
Agreed. Enchanted Forest is great. It may be a tad too powerful though, even if it’s a lot more restrictive than Elderwood Embrace in terms of usability.
The Living Crystal is interesting in its own right, though.

Enchanted Forest is for making Red weaker in the meta. But it might be a little too powerful. You could make your Farm Boy army into a real army!
There are more cards in this thread that would curb Red and/or Crackthorn. Both Tiki Witch Doctor and Azuria would annoy red/crackthorn, whereas Kunoichi is designed with Crackthorn in mind.
Also, don’t triplepost. That’s quite annoying. You can edit previous posts if you want to add something.
