Tumblr’s Custom Card Community

Hi everyone! A few years back there was an awesome custom card design community on here. I remember some of the most prominent members of the community like @remakingmagic, @follower-of-liliana, @abelzumi, @magicarasa, @imakethecard, @affinityforanime, any of y’all still active? (Sorry to those I missed)

Also, who should I start following that’s currently involved in custom card creation :)

Some quick ideas inspired by Hearthstone.

Looking through my tumblr and realising how much of custom card designer’s seemingly ridiculous concepts actually end up becoming a real thing in some form

[conorace]

Inspired by the recent equipment from Kaldheim that create a token to attach themselves to (and the germs from New Phyrexia)

Working on an Elder Scrolls set, thoughts on the balancing on this? Wondering if I could make it 1U or whether that would be pushing it way too far.

Help me balance this

From a flavor perspective, why is Quandrix u/g instead of something like w/u? Fractals and patterns are inherently orderly, and it seems that's more white than green. I'm probably blanking on the actual reason that green makes sense though...

One of the main conflicts in math is this: is math something humans created or something we discovered? Is it something humans came up with or an inherent natural part of the world? A classic blue/green conflict.

As of today, Future Sight is closer to the start of Magic than it is to today. Now I know we are getting Time Spiral Remastered and Modern Horizons 2 (I recall you describing pitching the first as Future Sight 2), but other than "old," how does knowing this fact make you feel?

Enthused to make another one. (I’m not currently winning that fight, but I’m stubborn.)

If or when: A brand new card type

When. I expect Magic to last a long time, and we’re bound to do it one day, although not necessarily soon.

[conorace]

Just a quick simple idea. I feel like this could have been done before, if it hasn’t I’m suprised because it seems obvious.

Why did you guys stop the players guides in bundles? I personally (as do many other people I know) loved them, and they were great collectibles

Unfortunately not enough players felt as you did. (We do market research on components of products.) We actually made them for longer than we should because many of us at Wizards liked them.

[conorace]

Sad to hear that :(

It’s been a long time since I’ve been on here cus I took a decent break from magic, who from the community here is still active cus it seems to me a lot of old blogs have stopped posting as well

A quick top-down creation.

Sorry for the long hiatus, this blog is now back up and running!

My first post brings us with this powerful commander, who is at worst gives us 4/6 worth of stats for 5 mana. I tossed between multiple versions of this, including a 5-6 mana version that didn’t require you to pay the extra mana cost to get an Ox. Thoughts?

imakethecard here. Any plans to start blogging again?

Yes! I’ve been taking a break from tumblr lately as i’ve been very busy with other things, but I hope to started posting a bit more now!

Inside Man 2UUU

Enchantment

When ~ enters the battlefield, target opponent reveals their hand. Then, you secretly choose a card name.

Reveal the chosen card name, sacrifice ~: Gain control of target creature with that name.

[conorace]

Now that’s an awesome design. It seems super fun and flavorful, would you mind if I templated this up on MSE and reblog this post with it?
