Finished all the commons. :>

Now it's time to make the skeleton for the uncommons. Man, this is harder than I expected. >.<

You sure XU01 isn't like "already" or "had" or both? I ain't no wordxpert, but I just inclined myself t'ask.

CB03 is one sick common son. I wish those be runnin' 'round all common 'n like.

CB08 is all kindsa loco sucka. Can't wait to see that flavor takin' up the trackers.  

CG05 is phukin' beautiful. I like literally gasped a little when I saw it. Honestly, that thing just moved me. I'm sorta shaken'. Wow.

Yeah, I should take XU01 to the Wording Clinic, I thought the "instead" was enough, but I'm probably wrong here. But well, I guess the idea is clear.

As for CB03 (1B - 2/2 - At the beginning of your upkeep, ~ deals 1 damage to itself and gets +1/+0 until end of turn.), I'm really not sure how much a black vanilla 3/1 should cost, so I just costed as a bear (cause that's also what it is half of the time).

Thanks for the comments. I'll start flavoring the cards after I finish the uncommons. Of course I have an overall idea of the flavor, but I still need to adjust many details.

Finished white uncommons. And I'm almost done with lands, blue and red. :>

BTW, is this fair?


UnR05

Creature — Beast -
Trample
If 10 or more damage was dealt this turn, ~ costs less to cast.
7/6


Not really sure whether to include it or not.

I guess that it's alright, because the second ability requires lots of work! Just don't put similar abilities on cards that are in play, because that would make combat math incredibly complicated for both players..

It's 10 damage for all the cards. I should ability-keyword it.

But I think that's kind of a tentative number. After I playtest the set with my friends, I'll probably tweak the number.

Finished lands and blue uncommons.

I'm not sure about these two cards tho:


UnU06 - Whole Gale

Instant -
Target creature with flying gets +3/+3 until end of turn.


And

UnU10

Sorcery -
Choose a creature. Put a token that’s a copy of it onto the battlefield. You may repeat this process for an artifact and an enchantment.



Is the last one too expensive or too cheap?

Your first card might be pretty strong in super-fast decks that use evasive creatures anyway, and blue doesn't really increase power and especially toughness that much.. Your second card sounds alright, you deserve powerful effects when you're playing seven-mana cards late in the game, and you'll have to build around the card..

I don't know how to feel about Whole Gale, I mean it obviously isn't broken, but does a targetting restriction really make Giant Growth blue? I don't like it, my gut says no.

The second card is really cool and probably an EDH staple but if someone breaks a 7 mana sorcery more power to them.

Moriok Rigger does absolutely nothing to boost other riggers. You are incorrect.



Moriok Rigger is not a Rigger in print. Only in Errata

WHAT NOW!

Congratulations, they have activated your trap card!

Yeah, I agree it feels kinda weird, but this is a keyword set, so I like to bend some rules. And I want to have this effect on a card. And I think that if some color can get this ability is either white or blue. But blue loves flying creatures a lot more than white.
