Can we talk about Jar of Snakes' wording? When it is ABOUT to be destroyed, it creates the tokens. Which means you can target it with destruction but regenerate it to get the snakes and keep the jar.
But then it's not a jar of snakes any more because you let all the snakes out and I don't think a jar is that useful unless you put the snakes back in and there isn't a card for that
That wording is great. First, it has to be destroyed (not sacrificed), so you're going to have to, e.g., shatter your own jar of snakes. But now, suppose I give your jar indestructible in response. Is it "about to be destroyed"? No, it is not, so no snakes for you lol. Also when does the game check for "about to be"? When something is targeted? When the destroying ability resolves? Right before the destroying ability resolves? Jar of snakes fun 5/5 for rules lawyers.
@@BoBnfishy It is shortly becomign a qunatum-jar of snakes when it is about to be destroyed, because you are uncertain whether it is actualyl goign to be destroyed or not. This way the snakes get copied and release via quantummechanics without the jar loosing any of the snakes. ((By the wording the jar would actualyl not lose any charges, so the lore checks out.))
Devoted bard makes it impossible to have duplicates on the board for creatures and artifacts. So they can't have multiple treasures, food tokens, blood tokens, power stones, etc. At the very least that sounds pretty strong. It also instantly annihilates all goblin decks.
I don't even play MTG but you're just plain funny and the youtube algorithm is wild so here I am, subscribing to a content creator for a game I don't play.
Devoted Bard is actually pretty good, and would make for some gnarly synergies. There's been a lot of Legendary Matters cards over the history of MtG. On a quick glance, some examples are Arvad the Cursed, Bard Class, Primeval's Glorious Rebirth, Day of Destiny, Reki the History of Kamigawa, Kamahl's Druidic Vow, Time of Need, Leyline of Singularity (not a Legendary Matters card, but rather a different way to get the same effect), Empress Galina. Combine these with any number of good creatures that just get better, and good legendaries that just benefit from those cards anyway, and you're looking at a pretty fun deck. Granted, if this is for EDH, you're banking a lot on one card (or two cards if you have the Leyline as well), but in some formats Devoted Bard would be just good.
8:47 *_Lizzardo being skipped because he cannot be seen is far better than getting rated._* I was thinking of making an entirely different card, but I landed on Lizzardo's image and I knew then that I _had_ to make Lizzardo, the Camouflaged One. Hint: You can first notice his eye in roughly the dead center in the image. Another way is looking at the area where the comb is closest to the wall.
I like the concept but untapping him to make others camo kinda just makes him hexproof/vigilance for 2 blue with the bonus of make another creature hexproof
@@a_guy_in_orange7230 Ah, it was supposed to be the tap symbol... I didn't think that it was off at all when I shared it. Another typo is the first sentence explaining Camouflage. It is supposed to be read as "Creature with camouflage cannot be targeted by opponent's spells" but the word "camouflage" was not added. Originally, I thought Hexproof would work but I realized that (functionally speaking) camouflage wouldn't be camouflage if Lizzardo attacked as many animals are highly sensitive to motion. While motion camouflage is a thing, I figured that Lizzardo's habit is kinda like wild Aegean wall lizards (who live on Greek islands and choose to sit on rocks that better match their individual coloring so birds have a harder time finding them).
a serious white player does not exists and if it does exists for some unknown law of physics, it's lying in a corner of the room crying because it has no decent card draw or ramp / mana source, nor actual synergy/purpose other than life gain and the very-old damage prevention
I don't know, dude, 0.1% subscriber rate is getting out of hand. Last time I watched, it was 0% subscriber rate. That's an ∞% increase. Please reconsider.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xIQxEKLNjF8.html, I warned you. He's got 99.9% subscribers now. Soon it will be everyone on earth, and then he'll attract the attention of the alien races out there that will find themselves subscribed.
A quick correction for "Magic Card (I think)". You described cards as having up and downsides but this card clearly is nothing but upsides. 10/10 would print professionally, sell it and face the legal wrath of WOTC.
Rip about Linn Greta. It's basically just "if someone kills someone else's thing, they get it", but it has to be a paragraph because I insisted on wording it like an actual mtg card, which required me to do lingual gymnastics to accomplish that. Entirely fair criticism, haven't really had to deal with it because all the people I playtested it with I could give the tl;dr.
I think it's actually really cool - nice job! I'm just curious if the steal thing is limited to "destroy" abilities or if burn effects like lightning bolt or Linn Greta's activated ability would trigger it. If so, the wording should just be a death trigger right? Also seems way too good because you can play Damnation and get the best thing on the table. Just seems like removal tribal which would suck to play against
@@cameronhofer5858 To answer your questions. Yes, it is intended to work with burn spells as well, I went with destroyed instead of dies because of wanting it to be any nonland permanent, and most artifacts and enchantments don't die. Magic the Gathering doesn't have any cards that care about the reason a creature was destroyed, hense the lingual gymnastics. Secondly, look closely, it says "One or more" that is because specifically in playtesting we had this exact problem, so now it's worded such that if you board wipe, you'll choose one of the creatures that died and get that. Doesn't effect single target removal or combat, but does stop board wipes from running the table. What I've found is there are two general concepts to playing Linn Greta. Yes, you can play removal tribal, but people can steal their creatures back with removal themselves, exiling stops you from stealing, you cannot steal commanders, and they can remove out your commander if they get sick of you. The way I've found is more fun to play Linn Greta is to take advantage of the bigger board (due to things not dying) by stacking all the "when things die" cards (like Revel in Riches) as well as "when things leave the graveyard" (like River Kelpie) with goad. That way you shuffle the permanents around the table (taking advantage of Linn Greta's secondary ability) and generating value on the side. For your own board you stack a couple undying/persist (like Mikaus, the Unhallowed); since you own Linn Greta, you get to order the stack when your things die, so if you (and only you) have an undying creature, your opponents can't use your Linn Greta to steal it.
The Devoted bard is pretty cool imo, it would be a better suited as a white/blue color but basically is a board wipe against token decks and some combo decks requiring 2 of the same artifact or creature, probably a decent sideboard on some decks
Glad planar curfew made the cut. Of note, it doesn't end the turn, it just counters all spells. That, and I probably made it bant because of the art. It should probably be white green or something.
I likely would have made it only check the turn players spell casts. My concern is other players just using a bunch of brainstorm and similar spells to hit 7 before the turn player ever gets a chance to cast anything at sorcery speed. The color complaint is also valid, to a degree. I probably would point more towards izzet (storm concepts) or Temur colors. I don't disagree with bant, but it opens the card up to the target becoming the user
For the devoted bard making creatures and artifacts legendary means that you can only have one on the field at any given time. Good for token decks and non-singlton formats and a pretty good ability
Considering the lightning round at the end, Noah probably bit off more than he could chew. Otherwise, I'd post a [poorly balanced] Conjurer card to my Community tab and ping Noah with it, because that and imgur are the only ways I can think of to share Conjurer cards, lol.
I was thinking about a commander that has: tokens are considered cards. That way you can bounce them to hand, shuffle in deck and stay in the grave. Idk what to do with it but it sounds fun
4:04 could be shortened to Whenever a player destroys one or more permanents they don't control, they may return one to the battlefield under their control. [cost]: deal damage to any target equal to the number of permanents under their owners opponents control
Another flavor complaint about Form of the Planeswalker is you already are a planeswalker. I guess it makes you Legendary? And gives you abilities that make you similar to Gideon? That would be about it. And what happens if you get exiled? Would you lose the game, like in Un-games when a player is destroyed by Baron von Count's last triggered ability? It doesn't give you Hexproof, so you would need something else to save you from getting removed from the game. And that also doesn't save you from dying to gaining -6/-6 a la Toxic Deluge.
Linn Greta is pretty funny when your opponent plays a bunch of nukes and you got some powerful permanents on board, ngl. I guess that's the point of the card. Double edged sword.
spell crash is a lot weaker than you would think especially with the fact the person casting the spell can just have it be countered, thus you sacrificed a bunch of your lands and they didn't
Man, I didn't realize this was going on. I have so many cards I could have thrown into the ring. Now... I probably would get hit with the "is this a fucking essay?!", But since I try to preempt the ways a card can be abused, they get a little longer.
For the Bard thing that makes creatures legendaries- would playing that trigger a board wipe style effect on token stacks? You can only have 1 copy of a legendary in play without Mirror Box down
Guiling Merchant worse than a black lotus because it only reduces the colorless. You still need colored mana to pay for the spells. It's essentially a Thran Dynamo, but you have to sacrifice a creature, have your commander out, and it costs one less, but has color. I don't think it's great either way, but it's not broken. Plus, it's should be "beguiling," as guiling isn't a word
In theory, if you would play Devoted Bard, and one opponent plays a lot of tokens, wouldn't he have to sac every token except one, bc of the legendary rule?
Yes because the have the same name. Except they're not sacrificed, they're put into the graveyard as a state-based action (which matters once in a while).
As someone who has played yugioh, I have had to read cards with that much text before (Endymion, the Master of Magic was meta for a bit, give it a read if you feel like). Yeah, I'm glad Magic doesn't have that many essay cards, it means I never have to read that much while playing.
I suppose everyone starts somewhere. Doesn't make it hurt any less to watch. As someone who's closely studied the patterns of Magic: the Gathering card wording to aid in my own custom cards, I could probably go on and on about the mistakes on the cards featured - incorrect capitalization, missing punctuation, wrong frames, unclear word choice, etc. But I'l save it for when people ask. (Not "if" people ask - I'll wait for the event to occur before taking action, rather than outright replacing the event. Thus is the difference between triggered abilities and replacement effects.)
Linn Greta basically whenever a player destroys one or more nonland permanents that player then chooses one of those permanents and puts it onto the field under their control
0:50 I don’t understand how Xzyr’s ability can do anything interesting. It’s just giving Modular. With a huge deckbuilding restriction AND for 6mana AND in 3colors.
