X's set of greatness

[MrXarvox]

This is a set based on a storyline of my own creation. I'll be posting more cards later, post your comments.


The main character

X 0
Summon Legend
When X comes into play, pay 5 mana of any one color or bury X. This payment of mana counts as X's casting cost while X is in play. X is the color of this mana.
if the mana you paid was blue or black, X gains
Flying and +2/+1;
If the mana was red or green, X gains "X cannot be the target of spells or abilities" and R:+1/+0 until end of turn.
If the mana was white, X gains first strike and does not tap to attack.

I'll be doing multicolor next....

 

[K]

Amulet of the Tempest is too powerful.
Blade of Soaring is kind of too weak, lower the casting cost. The Egg artifacts are all kind of broken; they give each color a Dark Ritual-like card; make them come into play tapped, alteast. Chime of Silence is kind of cool, though a bit too weak.

 

[MrXarvox]

the eggs... they turn 2 into 3 of any color. I fail to see the real brokenness of them, considering the dark ritual is one for 3. two for 3 is simply dulling it down, and giving some extra speed to any color, instead of reserving it for black. they'd be staples for nearly every deck and I'd make them common. Plus, you'll see some very very high cc's through the rest of the set, these are to help those titanic powers come into play.
Blade of soaring; you may be right. I think I'll make it 3 and no tapping to activate it.

"the light is merely an illusion for those too timid to embrace the darkness"

 

[MrXarvox]

Palace of the fallen is cool, but it doesn't go with the storyline, btw to make it not broken, make it sac nontoken creatures only and come into play tapped

[Ristik]

Xarvox, I think you're one of only a few people to have more free time than I do... Some of these cards are simply insanely fun-looking. I'd love to see a storyline.

 

[Azreal the Soulmaster]

cool Xarvox i actually i didn't even think about the token creatures and coming into play tapped would even it out

 

[Phyrexian Pie-Eater]

Ok, those we're fairly serious(well kinda, but i wasn't going for super broken) and if you want to talk broken, what about a free land destruction/4 life/whatever that those lands of his give. that seems a little overpowered here. And i'm not in a war or anything, that was a joke title. sorry if i wasn't clear enough.

 

[Azreal the Soulmaster]

They aren't broken because you have to pay life for the mana they produce, not like city of brass where its one of any color its one of that certain color, and as for there come into play ablities they are kind of like the emmissaries of invasion, but i see where you're going since they are lands and there is no casting costs, i would assume they would be rare, but they could be used normally if they were say artifacts that cost like 2 or 3

"the light is merely an illusion for those too timid to embrace the darkness"

 

[Phyrexian Pie-Eater]

If a card is rare, that doesn't mean everyone who wants 4 won't have them. And the life for mana works for that part, but the free stuff isn't good.

Especially if you throw capsize into it, or another return card. Then its 4 life, 2 damage, whatnot, each turn for 6 mana.

Or if you did it right, you could return all of your opponents creature to his had with the blue card, if you made all lands creatures and used its ability in an endless cycle. That would actually be really really kewl But i think you get what i'm saying.

Also, i would like to say go me for having my 300th post. Max-Punch Punch, and Super-moon pies for everyone!!!

[Azreal the Soulmaster]

Thats why i said they'd probably be less broken as artifacts, and i was just stating that if they weren't they should be rare

 

[Cateran Emperor]

Just out of curiosity, are some of teh names made by randomly hitting keys? Ex: Mod'n-kover'non-ci'mokk, K'ai'javano-d'arrka.

 

[MrXarvox]

Actually, those names are in Xarvoxian,
Mod'n-kover'non-ci'mokk means 'killing machine'
K'ai'javano-darka means 'crazy god'


The lands would be common- all that rarity does is restrict good cards to those who regularly buy by the box. Even though this set will never exist, I'd never make the utility cards like these lands and the eggs rare. that would be unfair to casual players.


I'll do red when I have time

 

[Phyrexian Pie-Eater]

The fallen angel has the right idea: make them mana artifacts. If they are lands they are too good. Also the eggs give too much speed. Have you ever heard of a fast blue deck? No, because it goes against what blue is about. Same with white and red. Those colors aren't about speeding up your mana. It unbalances the game. That would be like giving each color a type of lord of the pit, or Serra angel. Its just not right.
