ELECTION: THE GATHERING



This was someone's idea from another thread, but the card editor is here. You don't have to make an account to use their editor, and you're limited to 160 characters for flavor text, but let's see what you've got goons

In the effort to build a better OP:

Hodgepodge posted:

Magic Set Editor. It requires a download, but is miles better than any site script.

Its only drawback is that it doesn't do some of the more recent stuff like Enchantment Creatures or Phyrexian mana. There are addons that add them, but the one I tried didn't work for some reason.

It's been years since I've played, but if you're looking for ideas to make your cards more thematically consistent with the game, you should take a look at these:

White

quote:

Each of the five colors of magic has two ally colors and two enemy colors. White is allied with green and blue. White mana and green mana share values of holism, order, and community. White and blue mana share values of thoughtfulness, structure, and progress.


(Thanks Hodgepodge)

Blue

quote:

Each of the five colors of magic has two ally colors and two enemy colors. Blue is allied with white and black. Blue and white mana share values of thoughtfulness, structure, and progress. Blue and black mana share values of secrecy, manipulation, and desire for omniscience.


(Thanks Necc0)

Black

quote:

Undead skeletons and ghouls, unspeakable horrors, and diabolical demons are native to places of black mana, and they're as self-serving and treacherous as the mages who control them. Black magic isn't limited to these abominations, though—death-cultists and secret societies of assassins carry out black mages' nefarious plans under cover of darkness. Black mages control the most horrifying of creatures, but always at a price.


(Thanks A Winner is Jew)

Red

quote:

Red-aligned creatures are warlike, frenzied, and dangerous. Red mages summon mighty dragons to dominate the skies. They send hordes of bloodthirsty barbarians or rampaging goblins to lay waste to their enemies. They also channel mystical energy and summon fire elementals of merciless power and destruction. Red creatures rage across the landscape cutting down anything that stands in their way.


(Thanks Deep Hurting)

Green

quote:

The teeming forests overflow with green mana, the pulse of nature. Green magic is about growth, life, and brute force. When a green mage fights, massive creatures crash through the undergrowth, animals enlarge to gargantuan size, and wounds close before blood spills onto the ground. Or everyone just chiefs the fattest blunt that 5 mana can buy.


(Thanks Hodgepodge)

TheArchimage posted:

Perhaps a way to reimagine green in this set would be the influence of money: it allows you faster growth, lots of creatures to overwhelm your opponents, and big unstoppable creatures. Viewed in this light, green would be the color of campaign contributions, super PACs, billionaires, and similar.



(Thanks TheArchimage)

And of course there is also my personal favorite the Appalachian HellKite:


(Thanks Hodgepodge)

The most important thing is that it's funny, and it's already been a pretty good thread. Thanks for making it great, goons.

I left the card color on the default, I think it's any mixed-mana rare/legendary cards.

No it should be 'All players tap as many lands as the player with the least lands has. These tapped lands do not untap while Flat Tax is in play.'

Completely fucks over the person not leading in money, appropriate to flat tax.

Shouldn't "journalist" be surrounded by quotes?

You could do the same thing for a card based on Jon Stewart, but it would have a completely different meaning.
