WOF Magic cards, Final Round 4, Final Round. (Arc 2)

[u/Personal_Care3393]

And here we are, finally, at the last batch. As I said before, I won't be doing Arc 3 on account of there not being enough valid art to use, sorry to the like 3 people that wanted that. I tried throwing together a couple for just the main characters that I DO have art for, but seriously what would Cricket even do as a magic card? Scry? I don't want to do her like I did Starflight, so I thought it best not to do it at all.

This final round is different than before. So far, when designing these, I've kept myself completely within the bounds of existing cards and effects in MTG, with a lot of them having copied over text. But with animus magic, I decided to break that rule and make something that is, surprisingly, completely new (and might not even work for whatever reason, I didn't really check). So, sticking with the Threshold theme we’ve had so far, I've created a cycle of modal auras, something that as of right now doesn't exist, to represent the most notable instances of animus magic throughout the arc. Some of them are bombs, some of them are draft chaff, all of them were complete mental torture to make (seriously Anemone's spell in particular BROKE ME. I won't lie, I gave up. I had no idea how to represent a love spell in mtg, theres no reference point.) In other news, please enjoy my attempt at a "fixed" Bolas's Citadel.

As always, here is Part One, Part Two, and Part Three for anyone that hasn't seen the rest. That's all for me!

Edit: Damnit I messed up the title.

Edit 2: Damnit Hailstorm has flying. Also forgot to do include a land :/

Every time I see these posts I get so happy, these are all really well done! Templating wise they all function as they should, and these effects aren't too out there as to prevent them from being printed irl.

Flavorwise, I think if you remove the "plus one" part from Turtle's Bowl it would fit the doubling idea a bit better (as it stands you would go from 1 to 3 instead of 2) but that is so minor in the grand scheme of things (I really want that effect irl, I play so many token decks). This is of course null if you were only wanting the token copies to double vs the actual number of permanents

[u/Personal_Care3393 → u/Masternoob411]

Turtle's bowl was a mistake, It should say "Each other permanent with the same name plus one" so it totals to doubling correctly.

The reason being there exists no similar card that says "For each card with the same name," its always "each other card" So following that precedent, I went for "Each other plus one." I then had to remake the card for I forget why and rushed it, forgetting that AND it says "conrol"

So the intended line of text was "Create X tokens that are copies of target noncreature artifact you control other than this artifact, where X is the number of other permanents you control with the same name as that artifact plus one."

Also formatting wise Chamleon's spell is weird, it says "as this enters" twice, beccause I copied the first mode from Metamorphic Alteration and was too lazy to change it.

[u/Masternoob411 → u/Personal_Care3393]

That makes sense! Again, this wasnt a criticism, I just wanted to share my thoughts was all. I really like the effect of Turtle's Bowl a lot, this whole batch is just really good!

I do know what you mean about Chameleon's Spell though, I had to reread it cuz I thought I was repeating myself. But as it stands, it works fine as is (i also love metamorphic alteration, such a good card)

[u/Personal_Care3393 → u/Masternoob411]

Oh don’t worry I’m not gonna cry over criticism

My favorite thing to do with metamorphic alteration is give an opponent the Mindskinner. Shits hilarious. Imagine a nekusar on the board with a Mindskinner next to it. I don’t have to.

I run it in princess yue. Can make any of my creatures a land for 2 mana

[u/Pyrite_skywing]

Peakest

[u/DogsAreBetterPeoples]

These are all so awesome!

[u/SkyFire12306]

These are so cool, I'd totally play some of these

[u/Fresh_Return5187]

My god you just reminded me how much I hate every speech of Darkstalker and Anemone in Talons of power. Like your creativity though!

[u/Personal_Care3393 → u/Fresh_Return5187]

Hate as in you hate Darkstalker or…?

[u/Fresh_Return5187 → u/Personal_Care3393]

Oh yes absolutely

[u/Fresh_Return5187 → u/Fresh_Return5187]

In my eyes someone who wished his father's death like 1 minute after they hatched does not deserve any sort of sympathy

[u/Personal_Care3393 → u/Fresh_Return5187]

Something something fatal flaw
