ShadowS · Joined: 03 Mar 2006 Posts: 158

I have now completed all 330 cards for this set. I'm going to do a quick run through and make small changes in mistakes that I can find, and word them as best I can before sending them off to the Editors. Once thats done, I need playtesters. As many as I can muster.

I set up the channel #Aymara, if anyone wants to idle or ask about the set. It's also where the playtesters will meet.

If I can, I want to try and get this set run in mini's under "Other".

Hmm alright. Well, real life always comes before games =)

Explain to me how the Books ever survive coming into play, it seems like you couldn't get both in play since when one resolves it dies before you can play the other...

EDIT:

I need to learn to read, before I open my mouth

The books all require the card Library of Knowledge.

Library of Knowledge has no card requirements of its own to come into play. It's posted right above the books.

do you want the black and green ones be able to search out the card they reveal? cuz the way its worded, they can.

EG, yes, I want the revealed cards to be valid targets.

Accually the tree hasen't been revealed. I was meaning to, but forgot.

Here, I'll post it now:

Lotus Tree
Land
When Lotus Tree comes into play, return a Swamp, Forest, Mountain, Island and Plains you control to owners hand or sacrifice Lotus Tree.
T: Add WUBRG to your mana pool.

Note, you CAN return tapped lands.

Sorry, but I don't see the point in creating new cards when Magic already has thousands of them. Plus, most of the cards in this spoiler are just plain terrible. Library of knowledge is good and if it were a Magic card, I'd play with it. But it's not and I don't see the point in playing a fake, made-up game just because I like one card. Sorry to say, but if Magic came out with a set like this, they'd go out of business.

Nice effort though

Sorry, but I don't see the point in creating new cards when Magic already has thousands of them.

So, you think there shouldn't be a new set... ever?

Honestly, lighten up. This is an interesting exercise, mostly for fun. Some of the stuff seems kinda lame, but nonetheless, it's a good idea. It's not being forced on anyone or anything.

Anyways, I'd be willing to take a look over some of the cards and help you with the wording as best I can, 'cause I noticed a few awkward wordings on the previews that could probably be shortened/fixed.

For example:

Disregard - UU - Common
Instant
When you play Disregard, return a permanent you control to its owners hand or counter it.
Return target permanent to its owners hand.
Flashback - Return two permanents you control to their owners hand.

Did you choose the wording so this spell can be played and immediately countered? (For storm purposes, for example) I think the proper wording should be: "As an additional cost to play Disregard, return a permanent you control to its owners hand"

The wording for:

Vortex Faerie - 1UUU - Uncommon
Creature - Faerie
Vortex Faerie can be played as an instant.
Flying
When Vortex Faerie comes into play, counter target spell.
1/1

should be different (compare to Mystic snake for example)
it should be like this:
"You may play Vortex Faerie any time you could play an instant.
When Vortex Faerie comes into play, counter target spell."
