Moxtober Day 3 - Pawn

So I went obvious with Pawn. And made a Pawn.

It's just a Rat, but not. I figured Pawns are the most populous unit on a chess board, and they can work well as a swarm mechanic. They're only W/B for flavor reasons. Also, why Chaturan? Because that was a type of outsider in D&D 3.5, in the end of its run, which were the Lawful Neutral embodiments of Strategy, and I kind of loved them.

But just a pawn? That's boring.

(Also, forgive the misspelled type line, I was tired. It'll be fixed by the time the full set is out.)

The knight I almost made a 3/1 to reference the way a Knight moves in chess, but I figured a 2/2 for 3 is a classic Magic Knight, and it worked here. It changes depending on color, but if you can pay both, a 2/2 First Strike with Menace and Vigilance is just a beast.

Of course the rook is a BEAST - assuming you clear the way. A 4/4 for 4 isn't too bad at common, and admitted, this is the weakest one - it's main job is to make the Pawns stronger and defend, but being able to become a 4/4 isn't a bad deal.

The bishop is there for lifegain, and if that's a problem... well too bad, that's what he is. He's a cleric, clerics do lifegain. Deal with it.

The strongest of them, a 4/4 Flyer for 5 that also can steal activated abilities (which I realize, there is one of in this set. Ah well.) of all Chaturans in all graveyards isn't too shabby. Plus it can easily be a 4/4 FLamplelink, and that's nothing to sneeze at.

Of course, the king is a Lich mixed with Platinum Angel on a 0/8 body. He doesn't do much, but neither does the King in Chess other than make you lose. So it's fine.

I also used the opposite arts. But Tumblr LIMITS IMAGES IN POSTS NOW. SO I GUESS YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT.

Magictober was Pumpkin, and I didn't do anything special for it. It's a big pumpkin that blocks. Deal with it.

Meanwhile, Vessel had me thinking of D&D items. I originally was going to rip off Yu-Gi-Oh's Dragon Capture Jar, but this feels better - storing up blue mana to let it loose later.

It’s #MTGMoxtober! Here’s a article I wrote for Goblin Artisans inspired by the prompt Rebirth about about weird cubes and the potential shapes for a return to Amonkhet http://goblinartisans.blogspot.com/2021/10/amonkhet-rebirth-and-desert-cubes.html?m=1

#wotcsafe It’s #MTGMoxtober ! A month of design prompts for the Magic creatively inclined. I love a good design prompt, and this first on

Moxtober Day 1

Hello, boys and ghouls! It's time for Moxtober, the wonderful month when people who love to make Magic the Gathering cards make magic cards! But this year, I'm making up for lost time. In addition to the Moxtober prompts, I will also be making cards based off of the Magictober and Inktober prompts! So each day, you'll have three or more custom Magic cards to enjoy! Moxtober's first prompt is Rebirth, and I felt this was a fine time to make a new version of one of my favorite red cards, Otherworldly Outburst, in Cruel Rebirth!

Combining a bit of the Eternalize mechanic and Otherworldly Outburst, we get a card that gives you a second chance with a great critter - the cost may be a little steep, but I think it could be fun.

Magictober's prompt was Fungus, and what better for Fungus than a Thallid?

(If that's the thallid, I'd prefer the thoup, thanks.)

I love cards that can set you up for success after a boardwipe, don't you?

Finally, Inktober's prompt was Crystal, and I immediately thought of the Ikoria crystals.

There aren't goblins on Ikoria, of course, but that won't stop us from having a fun goblin looking for treasure.

I hope you're all ready for the rest of Moxtober - I know I'm excited for sure!
