Lorn Asbord Schutta Thank you for the well thought out and detailed reply, I really appreciate it. 1. You make an excellent point about the similarity between Outlast and Training, I started playing long after Tarkir, and while I was dimly aware of Outlast's existence, I failed to realize just how ...

Thanks!

Hey guys! As I'm sure you're aware, I'm new here, and I've just begun to start posting on a couple threads. Naturally, I have decided to go whole hog and post a custom set breakdown as well. Long story short, I joined this forum because I think my designs are probably garbage and the only way to get...

Hey guys! This is where I'll be posting info on my first custom set. I've been working on it off and off for a good while now, but there is still a ton of work to do. My goal is to give an overview of the set, and if everyone here is willing, solicit some much needed feedback about the design and di...

That's a good idea, I really like what you said about not punishing a player for putting these cards in their deck deck with other soldier tokens. I'll change it to what you suggested.

OK everyone, I'm back with my take on everyone's suggestions. Not sure if this is right but I think it's starting to move in the right direction at least. Here's a sample of what I have so far: Skeletal Division [sym=2][sym=u][sym=b] (U) Creature - Skeleton Soldier Deploy — When Skeletal Division en...

Arachnid Shaman [sym=2][sym=b][sym=g] Creature - Human Shaman At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay [sym=1][sym=b]. If you do, mill two cards. [sym=1][sym=g], [sym=tap]: Exile a creature card from your graveyard, then create a 1/1 black and green Spider creature token with reach. [sym=tap]: ...

Wishing Well
Artifact (R)
, : Choose a noncreature card you own from outside the game, reveal it, and put into your hand. Then flip a coin. If you lose the flip, sacrifice Wishing Well.

Both those ideas sound really good. Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it, I like the idea of making it two parts and giving it a positive spin as well.

Yeah I agree, it is a weird mechanic for sure. I guess I don't really want it in the set for the reasons you mentioned, but I'm worried about the set having so many 1/1 tokens that larger creatures without trample are largely invalidated by the sheer number of tokens that can chump them out over sev...

Oh gotcha, thank you very much. That's a good point about the blocking, I'll look into trying to tweak it to prevent that.

I've been working on a custom set themed around large armies, and I have been going back and forth over what the best way to template one of the main mechanics is. As it stands, the mechanic goes like this 2[sym=w][sym=b]: Deploy -- Create a 1/1 white Human Soldier creature token with: "This cr...
