By Spin13 (Spin13) on Thursday, July 05, 2001 - 10:26 pm: Yeah, I made the Spreading Insanity based on the model of Land Balance (which combined turn into a Balance). The hand part should never have been part of Balance, although I suppose in some ways its a drawback and in some ways its a Mind Twist.... Anyway, I've always liked Pox as the 'new' Balance (I happen to run 1 Pox in an otherwise non-pox black deck (still LD and discard, but more of a Voidless Void build)), but figured there could be a similar card that isn't quite as useful all the time, isn't quite a Mind Twist, but can be a great midgame card.
Who doesn't like Desertwalk?
Yeah, the Burnt Angel got changed around. For a While it was a 1BR casting cost and BR ability cost, but it got changed, although you are right, the name doesn't fit the final card, so it should be 1R: +1/-1
"The fall from Heaven starts with burnt wings" is probably an even better flavor text.
My personal favorite was the Daemon of Slanica. I think its balanced as its too slow to completely negate the drawback, and if you can't manage to cast a spell there is the chance that black spell will turn into a land. It also makes you keep land in your hand so you can hold onto your stuff like Mind Twist until they have a hand.
After submitting it however, I did think the discard (I believe I intended to make it this way, I just didn't) should be at Random. And make it during upkeep.
Daemon of Slanica
2BB, Creature -- Demon
5/5
During your upkeep discard a card at random. If this card is black, draw a card.
This makes sure the discard happens every turn. And remember, it may be good, but its still contending with Juzam and Negator, so even though the drawback CAN be an advantage, it has to be played well or in the right deck. I like it.
As for the Legendary Lands, the Alexandria card was more an afterthought than the rest. As for the others, I figured I'd make a set of legendary lands that weren't quite as comborific as the Saga set, but weren't exactly bad. The Red one is improved, while the blue one is worse, the White one is the most comborific, but demands the sacrifice of 2 BASIC plains, making similar to Serra's Sanctum in something like Parfait, while hard to break in a combo. The Black one is similar to Phyrexian Tower, though it adds black, but makes another land be used to generate the mana. Its somewhat comborific, in that it can be untapped and tapped for BBB but it requires a creature first. As for the green land, it helps 5-color green, while not being just a really good City for something like 5 color control. I think they are Legendary more because they are named after special places (it would seem improper to have 2 Heavens in play) which have abilities that in some way represent the place they make up. They are good, but wouldn't need to be restricted. They are just legendary because as I said there aren't 4 Heavens, 4 Hells, 4 Paradises, and 4 Cities of Atlantis.
Perhaps Ruins of Alexandria would need to be restricted, but I think the set of 1 per color is fine. Whether they get 'printed' is up to you, but don't include them because you think the legendary status might be there just because they ordinarily would need to be restricted. They all have great abilities and fair drawbacks.
-Eric
By Gzeiger (Gzeiger) on Thursday, July 05, 2001 - 11:02 pm: Ruins of Alexandria seems fairly balanced as a legendary land with an activation cost of 2. It's not as though everyone wasn't running Wastelands anyway.
Parrot's Peace/Harmony seems way overpowered. If you thought the potential utility of Dismantling Blow was good... creature decks are hard enough to do without adding Swords to Keeper's Disenchant slot.
Please just one counter? We need this mechanic:
Meddle
U
Instant
Counter target spell. Return that card to its owner's hand.
Another try, probably more controversial:
Feat of Will

Feat of Will can't be countered by spells or effects.
Counter target spell.
Helps Keeper fight mono-blue.
Or this:
Card name
UUUUU
Instant
You may reveal the cards in your library and remove four of those card of an opponent's choice from the game instead of paying Cardname's mana cost.
Counter target spell.
It can't be used by any of the control decks that annoy you, but instead would require a more redundant deck like Skies. The pitch-cost is negligible, but only in a considerably powered-down deck that's nothing like the reasons you hate blue. If this card is played, it will spawn a whole new deck type.
Alternately you could attach that pitch-cost to any other effect. Demonic Tutor might be the most interesting, or perhaps Jester's Cap.
By Tyger on Thursday, July 05, 2001 - 11:49 pm: ok heres a cool card since everyone like desert walk:
Death Valley 1RB
enchantment
all lands count as deserts in addition to their normal land type.
any player may tap an untapped land to deal 1 damage to a creature attacking that player.
"In Death Valley, travelers DO expect a fight from the terrain."

You may choose to pay any amount of mana less when you play this spell.
Counter target spell unless your opponent pays 5 mana. For each 1 mana you pay less than the card's casting cost, your opponent pays 2 less.
I love the selectivity of these types of spell. You can turn them into a pitch spell or weaken them in an emergency, and use their full power when the game's going your way. A card for every situation.
----------
Niagra Falls
Land
Comes into play tapped.
During your upkeep, if Falls is tapped, add 3 blue mana to your mana pool. These can only be used to play spells.
Niagra Falls does not untap during untap step.
A land along the lines of the green enchantment Eladamri's vineyard. Provides mana at breakneck speed.....but you'd better have a way to use it! Only those who can play at least 1 spell a turn will find this useful, those relying mostly on abilities won't.

By HavoK_DarK on Friday, July 06, 2001 - 02:48 pm: ETP: I know you have a clear distaste for counters, but I believe the set needs them, so in return for counters being created, maybe an enchantment equalizer should be used, something to the effect of "0: Flip a coin, if you win the toss, counter target spell, if you lose the toss, you may not play spells until the beginning of your next turn."
Just a little thing I came up with, no idea about color/CC/ability cost, etc.......

By Lord_of_Rivendell on Friday, July 06, 2001 - 05:07 pm: Here are two suggestions:
Name: Acidic Abacus
Type: Artifact
Cost: 6
Text: 3: Remove target counter from the game.
Flavor: "You never know what you can count on."
Rarity: Rare
Name: Terrorizing Turnstile
Type: Artifact
Cost: 6
Text: 3: Remove target token from the game
Flavor: "Facilitates passage from this life into the next."
Rarity: Rare
I may not have the costs right, but I think this is a manipulation of the game that has previously untapped. While both are powerful, you also need to expect that opponenets will be playing counters or tokens.

Version 1.1 of the fantasy set is ready for download
For people who want to see what ive been working on you can download the cardinfo.dat from here:
http://www.angelfire.com/ne/kked/index.html
youll find it easy enough, since its the only link on the page.
What you do is you put your cardinfo.dat (from the sets folder) somewhere safe. Then place this one into the sets folder. Now open apprentice and voila.
You can search through the cards in 2 ways.
1) look for cards with BDchat in the flavor text box.
2) add the set ET-ETP to the list in the expansions file in the apprentice folder (open and edit using notepad)
Either way you will be able to check out all the cards and build decks with them to test out. If you are playing with someone else, both of you will need to use a copy of this cardinfo.dat to be able to read each others cards.
I know i have a bunch of filler right now. A lot of crap commons. I hope to eliminate them and use all balanced, but playable cards. So test them out and keep putting your ideas down.

By Lord Fril (Fril) on Thursday, July 12, 2001 - 03:57 pm: i think the 2/1s for 1 are too strong.
how about this
Consuming Treefolk
G
Creature-treefolk
2/1
during your upkeep you may return a forest you controll to owner's hand, if you dont sacrifice ~this~.
Return a forest to your hand: ~this~ gets +1/+1 and gains trample until end of turn
By Radagast on Thursday, July 12, 2001 - 04:18 pm: Lord Fril, honestly, would you really want to play with that treefolk in a type one?
Compare it to Spindrift Drake, for one thing, which I can't get to work no matter how much I want it to:
U, 2/1, creature-Drake
Flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, pay U or sacrifice ~this~.
The black one might be too strong, I was was worried about that myself, but we'll have to see. Also, I was trying to make a new card, but can't word it without forcing the card to be in size 3 text. The gist of it is it's a 1-3 mana instant that can only be played during your opponent's upkeep, and until the end of your next turn prevent all damage that would be dealt to you from sources you do not control, and if a card would leave a zone it's in, return it to that zone. (ie, if a card in play would leave play return it to play, same for graveyard etc.)
By Lord Fril (Fril) on Thursday, July 12, 2001 - 04:25 pm: since you said you need some basics to fill the set.

In the middle ages in Europe we had no Black or White knights... Those are popular myths. But one thing did exist, a Green Knight.
These warriors had no master and yust wandered the land, searching for money or a job. They had a green shield, and were also called Doling knights (maybe bad translation).

By Leviathan on Sunday, July 29, 2001 - 09:03 pm: Can you give us an idea of what the breakdown is that you are looking for? I mean like how many cards of each color, and how many creatures, sorceries, etc... or should I just keep posting random ideas?

By Lord Fril (Fril) on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 06:37 pm: just a word about wording, ETP
if a spell or ablity would grant an ability permently you need to word it like this
"Target creature has . #(This effect doesn't end at end of turn.)#"
also i would replace "gains" with "gets" as no card used "gains" any more.
additional cost cards should be worded like this
"As an additional cost to play Death Bomb, sacrifice a creature."
upkeep cost need to be writen like
"During your upkeep you may pay/do whatever. If you don't, this happens"
(which is usselly a sacrifise of some kind)
also cards like
Leave play abilitys, like Krun need to read
"When Krun comes into or leaves play, put a ...."
just a few things ive notaced
By Lord Fril (Fril) on Wednesday, August 01, 2001 - 08:06 am: all right, blue is just to beatdown for this set. with a mana curve like 0cc-4, 1cc-16, 2cc-12 i think something needs to be done. since ETP has failed to put any burn in the set i perpose these two cards for emergancy inclusion

Advice of revision and errata would be appreciated. Im close to the final version of this set (there will be more.. i plan on making a block).
By Voice of Reason on Monday, August 06, 2001 - 04:36 am: I noticed with Thorn Grove
(Enchantment, Common, During your upkeep deal 1 damage to target player or flying creature for each counter on Thorn Grove.
GG: Thorn Grove Becomes a 2/2 creature until end of turn.)
That it doesn't say how it gets counters or if it starts with any.
By ETP on Monday, August 06, 2001 - 07:25 pm: yeah, thorn grove is a card that confuses alot of people. the idea with thorn grove is to be creative, and try to place counters on him in any way you can. Look at the card "Thallid Breeding Grounds" for an example of how you could place counters on it. Combine those cards with a number of thallid creatures and you could have a strong damage engine. Also, spike creatures can transfer +1/+1 counters. There are plenty of oppurtunities to put counters on. And even without that ability, it is still a creature that can duck the abyss, wrath, balance, and other such spells in the same manner as mishras factory.

By ETP on Friday, August 10, 2001 - 07:28 pm: Alright... Im going to suggest that you download my set and take a look at the kind of cards i am creating, to get a feel for the cards that i am looking for. Unfortunetely none of the cards that zorroxx has made are suitable for the set.
The first post contains some really terribly broken cards, and cards that broken are not being considered. Furthermore, the dragons are too awkward, and do not balance well. Sealed games would be over before they got out, and type one decks would bother with them either.
Generally, cards that cost 12 mana without an alternate casting cost arent going to be placed in the set.
By ZorroXX on Sunday, August 12, 2001 - 12:23 pm: Okay, here are some toned down versions of cards:

I hope ETP will put in some of these now that they are more balanced.
By ETP on Monday, August 13, 2001 - 07:16 pm: Ok, im going to ask you again... download the set before you make any more cards.
First of all, there is already an Ice Dragon (something you would know if you got the set) secodly i already have a mercenary searcher that works like linn sivvi.
Thirdly, you dont need to tone down most of your cards.. you need to delete them entirely. Look at Manipulation.. that is the single biggest piece of trash i have ever seen. And think.. just for a little bit... WHO THE HELL WOULD PAY 9 MANA SO THAT THEIR BLACK SPELLS WOULD COST 2 LESS.
Your creatures are, for the most part too costly to ever see play.
Do you even play magic the gathering? Why would ice dragon give all dragons flying.. practically the only dragon that doesnt have flying already IS icedragon.. And why the hell are there interupts? My god.. they stopped using interrupts a long long time ago. Salamander is basically crimson hellkite.
Destruction is a really Bad vindicate.
I am going to request that zorro x please stop spamming in my thread... Please do not write anymore in here.

By Gzeiger (Gzeiger) on Wednesday, September 05, 2001 - 08:04 pm: I still think this idea has merit. It really plays havoc with the very idea of control. To play it requires a threat-density well above what any control deck has managed to date. I think it could be the extra aggro-control card needed to push Slivers or a Meddling Mage deck into contention with the very top decks.
I know you hate counters, ETP, but I think you should consider this one. It's a potent weapon against countermagic of all kinds, and would help to level the playing field against the mono-blue that you so despise.

By cardless victim on Saturday, September 08, 2001 - 05:30 am: what a cool thread. here are my thoughts. first dont bring back old mechanics. banding, rampage, flanking, that stuff is gone for a reason. get some fresh ideas. I have a few. one is "shuffleback" - cards that automatically shuffle them selves back into your library as part of their resolution if a certains condition are met (if they are countered of course they dont shuffle back). this adds a new dimention to deck building. here are some examples:
spark - instant R (common)
spark deals 1 damage to target creature or player. creatures damaged by spark cannot regenerate till end of turn. if spark damages a player then shuffle spark back into its owner's library as part of this spell's effect.
or here are some stronger ones:
erosion - sorcery RRR (rare)
shuffle erosion and target land back in to their respective owner's libraries.
cloud of hornets - enchantment GGG (rare)
you may play cloud of hornets any time you could play an instant. put 3 green 1/1 hornet creature tokens with flying into play. whenever one of these tokens damages a creature shuffle the damaged creature into its owners library. when there are no hornet tokens in play shuffle cloud of hornets into its owner's library. if you control no cloud of hornets, destroy all hornet tokens you control.
the evil eye - instant BBB
shuffle the evil eye and target non-black creature into their respective owner's libraries.
you start to see the possibilities. of course over powered rares could easily be abused,. espicially on apprentice where rarity doesnt really translate into a barrier. so you will want to be careful. something else that could be done would be to take effects we are already familliar with (disenchant, giant growth) and convert them to use this mechanic. example:
"boomerang" - instant 1UU
shuffle target non-land permanent into its owner library, that player then puts the top card of his or her library into his or her hand. if that player still controls more non-land permanents than you do then shuffle "boomerang" into its owners library as part of this spells effect.
I have another interesting mechanic, I call it puzzle creatures. a creature with a horibbly complex draw back or ability which, once understood allows the creature's potential to be unlocked. this is sort of a strech, but here are some examples:
goblin head shrinker - creature 2RR
1/1 when goblin head shrinker comes into play discard your hand.
X,Tap: target player discards their hand and draws X new cards. goblin head shrinker cannot be the target of spells or abilities unless it is tapped.
Phyrexian mole - creature 2B
5/5 flying. if phyrexian mole leaves your control you may shuffle your library.
X: look at the top X cards of target player's library, and replace them in any order. only your opponents may play this ability.
3: target opponent gains control of phyrexian mole permanently.
big daddy - crearure G
8/8 trample. big daddy cannot be the target of spells or abilities unless it is tapped. big daddy cannot attack or block unless it is enchanted.
its alittle tricky but if you had to you could make them work. obviously you cant build a whole set out of creatures like this but doing one rare (maybe make it a legend) in each color could add alot of flavor to the way a set plays, not to mention the story line. the charachter of Karn - silver golem could have been a wonderful "puzzle creature" if there wasn't already a card for him.
here is a puzzle artifact(not quite as tough as the other ones)
ancient millstone - artifact 4
ancient millstone comes into play tapped. ancient millstone doesnot untap durring it's controllers untap step. if ancient millstone is untapped, durring each players upkeep that player removes the top X cards of his or her library from the game where X is the number of cards in that players hand.
"once set in motion the great stone will grind into oblivion anything set beneath its burrs - jhoira, ghitu artificer"
lastly, I have a pet card idea that I would love to see in print (or aprentice as the case may be)
I give you, the uncounterable counter spell!!!
interference - instant UB
as an additional cost to play interference pay X life. counter target spell unless its caster discards X cards at random. while interference is a spell on the stack it cannot be the target of spells or abilities.
this card is powerful, true, but it is also balanced. very well balanced if you think about it.
well, thanks for reading

creature-Spectre Legend
when this come into play destroy target permanet
discard 2 cards at random: return this to it's owner's hand.
kinda balanced. doesn't prevent regen stopped by pro black and the discard at random prevents just hoarding extra land to it. and the casting cost prevents a speedy start. Still not sure what the name should be
