ADVENTURERS! MtG cards!

Weee! people post here again! I had left this because it was starting to be only Milo and me, but if people are interested again, I will continue with it. Since I had thought a bit about this topic before quitting, I guess I'll post my thoughts, and then we get to some arrangement. ok? But, first...

Yorukun Wrote:your summon mechanic sounds almost exactly like fading, except it has the "when another summon comes into play" thing

Yup. As I said, I tried to do a tweaked version of fading, because that mechanic seemed to fit with summons. Notice as well the difference of the duration between fading and summon. I decided to make it so that the creature would fade right before the enemy's turnn Anyway, almost the same.

Now, for Kassil's Very Good Post ™. No, really, you gave a lot of insight, thank you.

Quote:Ardam should be a blue/red. Blue because he /is/ a wizard, and wizards have typically been the domain of Blue, and he does tend to be orderly, logical, thoughtful, and creative. Red because he can unleash some serious beatdown when he wants to. I'd guess a mechanic of a sort that lets you discard a card to deal damage to a target - maybe something like "(Some mana cost)(Tap), Discard a card: Ardam deals X damage to target creature or player, where X is equal to the converted casting cost of the discarded card."

Yeah... that would be a nice color combination. Thing is, and this ties with Karashi as well, I had already thought of something like it for Karashi's throw. The strenght of the throw depends on the object that was threw (I-mode doesn't count, that's too much like hack ) so the ability I did for Karashi was: Discard an artifact card from your hand, T: Karashi deals X damage to target creature, where X is the discarded card's CMC. I didn't know what to do for Ardam... maybe some big pinging, and some summon-searching feature (he's a damn skilled summoner). But I don't know.

Quote:Drecker should be a red/black, I think. Given his thief abilities, and the tendency of RPG monsters to carry potions and the like, he should have an ability that costs mana and taps him to deal damage to a target player and give you the lost life.

R/B Drecker? mmm... not so sure. Drecker doesn't seem too black... black is supposed to be uncaring, willing to betray his allies for personal gain, and seek power over anything else. For some reason, the nice and funny Drecker doesn't seem to fit in black. Absolutely agreed on the red part, anyway. Dislike of rules looks like one of his greatest features .

Quote:Spybot's obviously an artifact creature, but he should have an ability to do something like turn him into an enchantment on a creature to give it +X/+0, whatever X happens to be. Maybe the converted mana cost of the creature the enchantment's on.

Thought of that, but adding one more Licid-like creature to MTG made some part of my mind (you know, that part that convinces you not to kill every human being that makes eye contact with you... what? you don't have? aw, then that guy who said I was crazy might be right. Aaanyway) screech with fear. Those things require a lot of text just to explain that ability, are rules nightmares everytime they show up. So I erased that ability and went for the strange second ability it has now. Less problems (rules-wise. About enraged hosts... that's not my problem xD).

Quote:I'd say Gildward should be green. Green "weenies" tend to be really easy to kill, after all. His ability should be something like tapping him to remove a target creature from combat, to represent his music possibly doing something useful like distracting an opponent.

As a green player, I resent that you compare my creatures to Gildward, sir.*slaps Kassil in the face with a glove*. Naw, joking. I was going to make him white, but more opinions are always welcome. Now I don't know what to do...:S

Quote:Argent is probably a white/black or blue/black (he /was/ a lawyer, and I'd think that the mindset of a lawyer would work best with blue...), and an ability to amplify himself for the rest of the turn somehow.

*points to Argent, Judge Finis card* Seems we agree on something ^^.

About the others, I didn't have them very fleshed out, so I won't discuss them now. But red Tesla seems perfect, and R/W Karn... mmm don't know. I'll think it over. Karn would fit in the Boros Legion, I wonder?

Oh, and about the last part, where you mention the Khrimalith, one question: I'm doubting whether to make the Krimalth a legendary artifact or a legendary land... what do you think?

And thank you again. If you've got some ideas/sketches/mechanics or anything, be sure to post them.
