Yes, I've decided to open up my own card-dump thread. I've been prowling around YmtC for quite a long time now, but have never really been a big part of the action. Not that I expect this thread to change anything, but I just think there's no sense to keeping all my ideas to myself.  To start us off, here's a card from one of the many mini-sets I've attempted in the past. It's called Aloria, an Aura-based miniset. I do attempt revisions on my sets every so often, but they're never really ever complete. Aloria is somewhere in the middle of it's third revision. [indent] Resonant Treefolk   Creature - Treefolk Shaman Replace all instances of "enchanted creature" with "creatures you control" on auras enchanting Resonant Treefolk. Some of the oldest treefolk bark can be used for very powerful amulets. However, some of the oldest treefolk would rather keep their bark.2/4[/indent]

That's a very clever ability. I like it. I love how this makes people who play Pacifism  cry. Very clever...

Cool, I'll add it to my regular checked threads. I'm looking forward to your designs.
I like the Treefolks ability, but I have a question. Of all the creature types why Treefolk?

It fits green, an elf would be too small, and beast doesn't make sense.

Green has a history of creatures that react especially well with Enchantments and Auras, Enchantresses (human druids). That is not really where the question came from. My question was really simple curiosity. I mean a 2/4 could just as easily be a spider, elemental or beast (each with varying flavor). The root of my question (pun, yay) is why this flavor?

It's too large for an Enchatress or other human/druid thing. Beasts, spiders and the like are not intelligent enough (unless I made them so, but that's another story), and, well, why not a Treefolk? This was way before Lorwyn's Treefolk, so I figured Treefolk would be perfect for a relatively sentient, higher toughness than power green creature.

Okay. As we all know, there comes a time in every designer's life where they feel the need to go hog-wild with hybrid mana. At least I can do it in the privacy of my own thread... [indent] Poisoned Swipe   Instant Target creature gains First Strike and Deathtouch until end of turn.[/indent] First Strike is red and white, and Deathtouch is black and green, so this should always be in-color. I realize this could be expanded into any number of color combinations, but I think these two keywords work particularly well together. Sure, it's ugly as sin, but it's very efficient.
