I like my card. Only way to make it better would be to make the abilities activated by mana, instead of taping, but that would be overpowered and then it would have to be in the Mirrodin Block, and that Block didn't exsist. ;D

I feel so left out Eun. But I have to admit I like them.

in light of the new hybrid cards in ravinca, i think Dalci would fit well there. then again you may not be able to do that yet with your program. just a suggestion though.

Indeed you two. When these were made, you were not yet members. Thus, the lack of them. Thus, I forge cards... >=D

All right, people. Revisions are on the way. In the mean time, feast on two of four I managed to work on tonight. There'll be one for all the players in the Worldcage at least. Who knows who else might get made?   |

very nice. i like kitty's pic. the only problem is that its kinda hard to see Artemi's power and toughness. that and his pic extends outside the box, but unglued and unhinged do that all the time.

Dude. That is an awesome picture, mang. You might want to consider either a) switching the red so it is on the right and the white is on the left, or b) maybe make the letters grey or something. I do not know if either of those are possible, though...
And now that that is out of the way...
WOOT! First one with two cards! Both of which are pretty beastly... *cackles*

I rather like the picture on Celest. Where did you get it?
Also... just how does your ability work, dude? You switch into a Congregate, go on the stack, then leave play after the spell resolves. Are you in the graveyard, then? Or do you stop being an instant at the end of turn, and thus return to a creature, staying in play?

...Wow. First of all, those have some really beautiful artwork.
Second, some of those are simply rediculous. Collateral Obligations and the Worldcage are... powerful. I rather like Ailane, Temple Gatekeeper, though. I could use her in a deck... *laugh*

GFX Artist is my source. While you're looking, if you see familiar pieces, snag the artist name and let me know. I prefer to give credit where it's due. >.< Yes. I am retooling as we speak. It ain't easy making 320 individual, unique cards. @.@ Expect to see changes in these sometime or another.

I suggest these amendments to the following cards to keep them from getting too overpowered. I think it would be fun for all of us to get together and act like our own R&D department. Eunhathes would create the cards, and we would make suggestions involving balance. Should any of us wish to go above that, then we could even submit card ideas to Eunhathes for creation.
Well, here goes:
-Collateral Obligations is rather powerful for little reason whatsoever. If you would drop the protection bit, then it would become entirely feasible without further incident. Protection is a primarily white ability these days, and I can see why. I think that flying and vigilance is very strong for 2 mana, but it isn't flat out broken. When you take Copy Enchantment and Mind Bend into consideration, then I'm sure that you'll at least see what I'm getting at.
-Since Gate to the Worlds is based upon the Temple's section, I don't think that it's awful... but 5 generic for any Legendary Creature isn't balanced. I have an idea to make it more balanced on the whole, but it is too long to go into here. Eunhathes... I'll call you about it, and I think you'll like the idea.
-With Magen O'Gar, the problem isn't imbalance so much as redundancy. Blue has far too much in the way of copy spells right now. Nobody needs another one, no matter how much it costs to use. Her blue ability should be more inspired... and I'm working on figuring out what I fully mean by that. Her green ability is a bit bland too. She could use more inspiration there too. However... I must admit that I don't know anything about the character in the Worldcage whom you are trying to portray. Maybe this is what the card needs to fit in properly.
-No'Am Grand Dragon has only one discernible problem as far as I see it... and that is my lack of knowledge on this Ripcast ability.
-Oath-bond Dragon doesn't seem to fit the colour wheel as well as it could. I think that it would fit in better should the ability cost two red/white guild mana rather than one red. One red is rather harsh on a flying, vigilance creature anyway.
-The Worldcage is the most important of these. Why isn't it an artifact? Why doesn't it have some sort of drawback? It doesn't have a single check to it. Land isn't very easy to destroy outside of red. It gives you one less mana than a Lotus, but you don't have to sacrifice it... and it costs nothing to put into play. This is without a doubt busted-ass broken. Even a 0 mana artifact can be countered. This thing seems to have way too nice a pay-off for asking nothing in return. I have suggestions, but I'd like to hear your own thoughts first Eunhathes.

Woot! Peoples, welcome to my R+D. =D -Collateral Obligations: Granted. -Gate to the Worlds: "5 generic for any Legendary Creature isn't balanced" - Karn, Mirari, Predator, and That Which Was Taken... I figured 5 play for 8 activation was better than 8 for 5... or even 8 for 8 (which would have never seen play). But! I will listen... =D -Magen O'Gar: True. I will have something to wow you all with shortly. -No'Am Grand Dragon: Alright, to explain Ripcast. Originally, it was flawed. Now methinks I have it worked right. The "put it on the stack" part is important as there are lands with Ripcast. Of course, it's an activated ability and can be countered (Spoils: Nonsense Words), so using Ripcast to play any additional lands will be quite devastating to your oppening hand. LMK... -Oath-bond Dragon: Granted. I will change to 1R: Firebreathe? -The Worldcage: The only defense I have for it is the fact that you may only play one and that only one may be in play without blowing up. However, there is already a rework slated. There are some options here. Which is balance? EDIT: Spoiler Checklist </tease> |

As for Worldcage, I think that it would better see play if it read...
I believe that would sufficiently hinder the user without it becoming too detrimental for mainstream use.
Now, as for the other thing... please look at your blue section within the ToH Set. It is a good five cards heavier than the next highest colour in the set. Green, by comparison, has ten less cards! White is next with only 13 cards. This needs to be ratified. Things must be equal for there to be balance.

My dear AC... if you look and do the math, you will see that there are 45 cards in each color. This is just a spoiler/teaser for everyone to conecture over.
On Worldcage: Granted. However, that ping clause seems a bit wordy. I will see what I can do to get it to fit though.
