ADVENTURERS! MtG cards!

I thought I would make some ADV! Magic cards. If anyone wants to contribute art or effect ideas, post here.

One of the first cards:
   

Some other nice ones:
   

Khrima!
   
   
   
   

Waa, I was just finishing Argent and I got the blue screen of death...
But I\'ve made a new mechanic unique to the ADV! set. It is:
Flowgem N(N: Double this creature\'s power and toughness until end of turn.)
This will be used with all four Chaos Generals and Garshask.

The one thing I\'m having trouble with is an expansion symbol. If anyone can come up with one I can transfer it in.

Nice.
I\'m not so sure how to make an expansion symbol but I can make a few cards myself.

I can never get he sizes and scale right for it to fit the card exactly.

First, I want to say hi. I´m new in this forum. And I´d like to apologize in advance for wathever mistakes my posts may contain. I´m Spanish, and because of that English is kind of difficult to me yet. With the warnings done, let´s move on to the topic.

These are really great.  I´d like to do a few ones myself, but I´m not an artist. Anyway, I´ve opened MWS and made one. The problem is, my MWS only has old borders, wich are much more boring than new ones. And my wit is somewhere near nonexistence. Even so, I´ll try to do Karn and Ardam soon. Suggestions welcome.

This is my first card. Thought that remembering Rio would be nice.

   

Anyway, Woodman, you are way better than I am, so please keep doing these. I swear that if you make the party, I´ll print them and play them. Really. And my friends as well. Problem is, I play G/W, and I have no idea of wich character could be green... wait, maybe Mother Nature. Nah, too cliche. I´ll reread the archives and seek some "green ones". xD

Ah, Rio.

One thing I feel I should note. Before posting, look at the date of the last post, in the same column as name and avatar. If it's more than a month old, and you don't have anything worthwhile to add to the topic, leave it alone. Posting something like "lol" on a six-month-old topic is considered thread necromancy, and is BAD.

This was fine, however, since it added to the topic and got a grin out of me.

As for "green" cards... There's always the Fire Dragon after it's red paint faded to green...

EDIT: On second thought, the picture might not be the best for a Magic card.

Hmm... It's clear we need to get the colors straight. Keep in mind folks, no color is neccesarily good or evil.

Karn: Green (Powerful, naive, idealistic)
Ardam: Blue (Logical, thing for magic)
Drecker: Black (Kleptomaniac, independent, lady's man)
Karashi: Black (Thieving Ninja)
Gilward: Red (Artistic, Never gave much thought to defense)
Chookie: Green (Chipper little animal. Probably a Squirrel token)
Tesla: Red (Violent, Emotional, and speaks her mind)
Spybot: Artifact (Pretty Obvious)
Lumi: White (Religious, Benevolent, Selfless)

Khirma: Black (He wants to take over the world.)
Argent: White (Idealistic, Enforcer of Divine Law)
Mizuna: Black (Same reasons as Karashi)
Dirlend: Black (More powerful, more advanced, but less focused on the arts than Gilward)
Blanc: Red (Fiery, Driven by Emotions)

Eternion: Black (DUH!)
Infinel: White (I fear change...)
Imposis: Blue (Subtle, logical)
Endless: Green (Again with the naivety)
Invisin: Black (Smartass assassin)
Maxima Termis: Red (Reckless, Overconfidant, and packing a lot of firepower)

Kemmit/Meck: Red (Idiots who love to fight)
Garshask: Black (Ambitious, Amoral)
Cody: Blue (Logical, Cunning)
Rhio: Black (Ambitious, Thieving)

I was thinking of a few multicolors, to define their personalities better. For example, Eternion is obviously black (duh!, too), but since he´s the eternal of war and VERY aggresive and those things, maybe Black/Red would fit better. Anyway, we agree for the most part, even though there are a few ones I´m not so sure. Not every thief should be black. Black is the color of selfishness, search for power, and "the end justifies the means". I agree it doesn´t mean it is necessarily evil. It just means it doesn´t care for anyone else as long as he gets what he wants. Although it seems fit for a ninja to be black, I don´t think Karashi plays this role. And seeing his impulsiveness, easy-to-depress-ness (sorry, don´t know a word for this) and unreliability, Rio is more Red than Black to me.

In other topic, since I play green, am I REALLY stuck with Chookie? I mean, yes, I got Karn, but I´ve already sworn to play with ALL the members of the party that would fit my deck... and then, I get Chookie. Damn. Didn´t think of that.(Note to self: don´t make promises so quickly .)

Well, to try this multicolor idea, I guess I´ll leave Karn and Ardam aside for a while, and do Eternion next. Let´s see where I can find a nice picture of Eternion that would fit a Magic card...

Tsk, tsk. DO multi-colored cards mean nothing to you? Karn looks fairly White-Green to me, Ardam Blue-Red, Argent White-Black, and a few others, like the eternals. Also, Karashi is more likely blue than black (remember, all ninja are blue or black). Karashi is one of the ninja who works with others and stuff, and isn't serving her own purposes. Mizuna, naturally, is only surving her own purposes, so would be black. Drecker is also red or blue as well, as thieving has always been red (usually temporary), or blue (usually permanent). I also agree with Rio being red. He's impulsive, and doesn't think things out. Black thinks about what it does, and is just willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Doesn't sound like Rio to me. Also, remember, Spybot has to have the creature type Myr, because there are no robots in magic.

A partial guide:
White: Well rounded, looks after the whole, somewhat pacifistic and religious.
Blue: Smart, cunning, weak attack prowess, all about manipulation, both of one's self and one's enemy.
Black: Ruthless, does anything it can to win, uses everything as a resource or means to an end.
Red: rash, impulsive, doesn't think of consequences, loves to fight.
Green: All about growth and protecting nature, creature based, loves purity.

As for the cards, you do know it's possible for all 4 Khrima's to be on the field at once, right? Maybe add rules text regarding this? Also, "target hero gets -X/-X" doesn't define X. You have to say "where x is..." and then say number of oranges in play or something.

Very interesting cards, though.

Gildward, spoonit.

Note that for what it matters, the Eternals all had aura colors in the comic which seems to be an inherent part of what they are.

Maxima Termis: White (all colors!)
Eternion: Red
Invisin: Green
Infinel: Yellow
Imposis: Blue
Endless: Orange

Of course, not all of these are even VALID MtG colors, let alone the most appropiate ones. But they're worth looking at.

Bugle, i´m sorry to contradict you, but to me Ardam is fairly mono blue. Wizard. Logical. Clever. That seems pretty blue. And I think Red is not fit for Ardam. But I agree with you on Karn. And I don´t care the robot type doesn´t exist, I´ll just create it! :) Anything for Spybot!. Beep!

I found a new program, and i´ve done Eternion and Eternity with it, but i don´t like it very much, so i´ll go back to my old one. More boring, but it makes it easier to adjust text. I had to supress a few ideas because with this program, text wouldn´t fit in the card. Note that I made Eternity a Token only summonable by Eternion because I didn´t like the idea of playing Eternity directly. Eternion should appear first, I thought.

This are the Eternion cards I made, though I don´t like them very much, and I´ll probably change them soon.

          

Ardam's essentially a red mage, using offensive and defensive magic. Since blue no longer has direct damage, he should also be red, as red is the main color with direct damage nowadays. That's why I think he needs to be red.

Haven't you heard of Prodigal Sorcerer? and like the 5 other different variations on it?

As for the heros, shouldn't they be all partially white? So in the case of Ardam, he'll be a white-blue mage hero. Though if you are picky on their personalities/past jobs alone, here's what I would change from your picks.
Karn should definately be white not green, since green hero's are usually beasts or in some way wild, plus Karn's not exactly a nature person. At most, he can be partially blue due to his skyrian blood.
Most theifs are blue if they are without any background/group they belong too (like an elf theif or a blood theif).
HUMAN ninja's are actually blue if you look at the recent expansion(Betrayers of Kamigawa). Rat ninja's are black.
Bards are chaotic to a degree, but Gildward should just stick to white me-thinks.

Now for the villians,
I argee with bugle on Argent being black-white, and maybe also blanc. He does try to do things with "honor" and the fact that he dresses basically all white... including his hair and aura.

That's enough for now. More than enough probably.

Which is why I said NO LONGER. Key words there. Yes, I know of Tim, he's my favorite card, but Blue NO LONGER (see the key words?) has direct damage.

I agree with some, but:

Karn: White
Drecker: Blue
Karashi: Blue
Gildward: White
Chookie: White

Argent: Green+White
Mizuna: Blue

Eternals: All colors(WUBRG)
but:
Eternion: Black focused*
Imposis: Blue focused*
Infinel: White focused*
Invisin: Black focused*

Rio: Blue

* If they would be black focused then the cost would be WUBBRG#.

I think I should answer to most things here, whether in agreement or not.

Quote:As for the heroes, shouldn't they be all partially white?

Sorry, Howdy, but I don´t think so. White is not the color of heroes. White is the color of order and law. Does Drecker seem like he likes order and law to you? Didn´t think so. White isn´t necessarily good, as well as black isn´t necessarily evil. There are do-gooders in most colors. I can point a few good characters from Magic collections wich are not white.

Quote:green hero's are usually beasts or in some way wild

As an absolute green player, i must disagree. Yes, there are many wild ones, but, in the latest sets this tendency seems to be shifting. I´ll just add to that. Yet I must agree that nature´s not exactly Karn´s main concern...

Quote:I argee with bugle on Argent being black-white, and maybe also blanc. He does try to do things with "honor"

Adding White to Blanc... I was going to make him red. But red/white, that´s a very good idea, didn´t think of it. I´ll do it. Thanks!

Quote:Bards are chaotic to a degree, but Gildward should just stick to white me-thinks.

Yeah, it looks like that to me too. Red, color of violent emotion, aggresiveness and chaos just doesn´t seem to fit for our friend Gildward.

Quote:Ardam's essentially a red mage, using offensive and defensive magic

I have to disagree. I don´t think red is a color that really fits Ardam, and since we are playing Adventurers! cards we are not exactly serious about rules, are we?... I´m in quite a problem with him anyway. He has WAY too many abilities to compress in one card... and if I underpower him the fangirls will kill me:). Now seriously, he is such a problem.

Quote:Eternals: All colors(WUBRG)
but:
Eternion: Black focused*
Imposis: Blue focused*
Infinel: White focused*
Invisin: Black focused*

Sorry, Woodman, but it doesn´t seem to me that all the eternals should really be 5-color. Actually, they are more color defined than anybody else, I think. A bit stereotyped, you may say. Infinel is clearly mono white, Eternion black or black red, Imposis mono blue, Invisin black, and the only ones I´m not really sure are Endless and Maxima Termis. Hey, now that you mention it, maybe Termis could indeed be our penta-colored guy!

Sorry if this seems like too much criticism, I´m really getting a lot of ideas thanks to you people. Thank you very much. To continue with this, anyone has any idea about possible mechanics? That flowgem thing that Woodman suggested seems neat, but there are few people with flowgem abilities. We´ll need something else, don´t you think? Because infinity forms would be too complicated to do.

On a side note, is there any picture of the Eternion´s sword that could be easily isolated? I was thinking of making it a legendary equipment.

And to finish, I did this in five minutes right now, because I thought that posting without a new card (as bad as it may be) would be really rude. I did him because i rememered him when I saw a castle today. I got really tempted to start shouting "there are many guards in the castle!" to random passers-by! :)

   

Once upon a time Webby hosted an Adv! MtG card contest. I entered and won, but I should have ascribed some more significance to the fact that it was in the porn forum.

And that's the story behind my sig, kids.

Hannibal Wrote:On a side note, is there any picture of the Eternion´s sword that could be easily isolated? I was thinking of making it a legendary equipment.

Which sword? He used a number throughout the storyline. In the previous Eternal Wars (back when Judge Finis was still called that) he forged Mugendai-Yaiba the Infinity Blade. When he first me Karn he had the Dark Blade Nexrel. As of this comic (exposition!) he used the Kyuukyoku-Yaiba, which had been forged and wielded by his enemies in the last Eternal War. You may recognize these two Yaibas from the CMC cards. There's also Argent's sword he uses in the Battle at Khrima's Tower, which is nameless but said to have been made with the same principles as Eternion's sword (subsequently used by Endless).

Thank you very much, I was referring to Mugendai-Yaiba and Kyuukyoku-yaiba, wich are both legendary blades and all that. Are them in CMC? I´ve never played that game, so i´m not familiarized with them. What do they do there?

Eidolon X, since you won a card design contest, could you please give us a little advice? I´m no expert, and help is always welcome.

I said I wouldn´t post in this thread without adding a card, so here it is, done in a rush, the most important asset our heroes wield... the BAG!!
   

A little inspiration has just come to me. So I did Infinel as well. First ability simbolices that shield thing he showed the first time we met him. Second is there for that absolutely impressive "Longinus" trick in Eternion´s final battle. Hope you like it!
