I need help on Kushu, Demon Crusher and the wording of Zombie Fungus.
Some new cards to showcase:
A psuedo-vanishing. You could argue the second ability is green. Pretty clouds. Yay.
This is the blue counterpart of Conqueror of the Abyss, my other one-drop mythic. It has vanishing and fun mechanics. I think I worded it so when she dies of vanishing, you can't sacrifice her to return a creature back to a hand.
Nice versatility, a card draw engine or a half pacifism. I guess you can either enlighten yourself or make the other see sense.
Big hydra thing! 18 damage on turn four! Is it overpowered?! Pretty art! Lots of the number 9!
Is it overpowered? Is it too simple for a mythic? Is it not good to put in two forms of the same character in consecutive sets? Lots of question marks and exclamation points?!
Okay, some Vanishing cards, as I decided they will be in the set.
The vanishing represents the mana that is leaving the plane, so there is no longer enough mana to maintain a powerful spell for a long time, as Abyss Closure and Draidsamon
Siege mostly show. It will also be used in other ways. Please comment.
@Ravarshi
I will definetily look at it, I'm having lots of trouble finding good art.
@Apoquallyp
Changing Abyss Guide, but how do you word Zombie Fungus? I am lowering the cost. Changing the color requirement on Palating Avenger. Also, how do you suggest I change Kushu, Demon Crusher?
Some features:
So I created this card because now that I am thinking about decks and playtesting, I realized that the Council control decks had no way to win. No beaters, no nothing. This is the result. I also wanted it cheap, as my starting playtesting had many 3 drops, so you have the opponent fateseal thing to get away with a powerful beater for cheap. Is it still too strong?
I love Mystic Snake, Spellstutter Sprite, and friends. I needed something like it here, but it needed to be white too. So, tada!
This one is a bit weird to me, any suggestions? I wanted a warrior wizard dude.
I'm worried this is overpowered, but I wanted a black/red one drop that wanted to die. Maybe no haste?
I realized I had no mana fixers for the Draidsamon, which is hard when there are three colors.
Should this be 1 less? I was inspired by that mind control ant mushroom stuff, but I didn't want Mind Control
With these new rules up, I am starting to create text renders for everything, but they won't be up for a long time.
@apoquallyp
I will think about Honorable.
I have changed Molting Ceremony to Dark Ritual + discard.
Nice card, I'll put something like it in the Raven Guild.
Simplified Crazed Magekiller, changed Mind Pounce, upped cost on Wizard Council Seat, etc.
Big update. I love precons (I am a frequent reader of Ertai's Lament), so I am creating Intro Packs as the set comes along.
Thank you, I am thinking about changes to the Lotus Temple plan. I would love comments on its namesake, the Lotus Temple. Also, I feel these two rares are overpowered: Molting Ceremony and Fearful Roar.
Updated with new cards for both sets.
Here are some of my favorites of the new set, the Thieves of Moli.
I'm a bit worried this is overpowered. As, Apoquallyp said, it is better then Putrid Leech, but then again, Putrid Leech wasn't all that great. The flavor is that of a thallid the Raven Guild preformed experiments on when they joined the Draidsamon.
Here is another great card. I am not sure that this should be costed as it is, since it couldn't be either one, but there are too many cards already planned that are 1WU.
So, yup, Sarkhan Vol is coming to Moli. Just have to find art for him (if you know any good ones, please tell me). These are his bodyguards, given to him by Vaevictus, who asked Nicol Bolas to send him to help with the taking of Moli's mana. I am not really sure about all the storylines, so I don't know if Vaevictus is on good terms with Bolas, or if he/she can planeswalk.
Big update with the beginnings of the second set, the Thieves of Moli. I am trying to decide on mechanics, I am unsure about using Vanishing ot show the draining mana away from the plane, or maybe using scry and devour. I am also unsure about Hideaway for the Thallid Forest (now Hidden Forest). Any thoughts?
Thanks for the naming advice, when I have time I will change that. I have very little time to work on this, but when I do, I will look at your set.
Thanks for your suggestion of Bloom Tender, I will add that now.
As I have stated before, I am making more cards that reward lifegain. Ajani's Pridesmate, Temple Crusader, Bista's Pridemate, Ancestor of Suns, Ancestor of Moons, Shining Pride Crusader, the list goes on and on. Just check the Shining Pride section of the second post.
I am changing the wording on Notsufurti, and one of the reasons it is all black is because it makes it harder to cast. I will start playtesting once I am done making all the cards.
@ Apoquallyp:
Thanks for commenting so much. I have changed some cards, and I would like to know what everybody thinks about making a new game term. The bloom 1 was mainly to make it more of a cycle, and for colorfixing. I haven't played for very long, but from what I know madness only ever saw play in a UG Wild Mongrel deck. I do have a couple of cards like Wild Mongrel, but I don't think it will be too good.
@true rizla:
I don't understand what you are saying.
@SecretInfiltrator:
I totally agree with you, except I have no imagination when it comes to names. If you could help suggest some, that would be great.
Now, for some showcase cards:
I am slightly worried this is too strong, but I like it. It could also be an enchantment. The flavor is that the Shining Pride has lost connection to their ancestors, and they mourn them and those lost in the war, but their ancestors are still there, helping them, even if they can't communicate with them through their singers.
Originally, I was not planning to have colored artifacts except in the Lotus Temple faction, however, I decided to make an exception for this card. The flavor is that Notsufurti is where the leaders of the Raven Guild (Wrent and Cra) conduct their experiments on their people, trying to make them human again. But during the war, they began to use the last of their lotus to make mutants more designed to make war, and began releasing them to attack the temple (the first ability). The second ability is when they finaly have no need for the place, they destroy it, and send all the mutants in a desperate attack on the temple. This is one of the last events before the beginning of the next set.
You may notice that the Wizard Council currently has the fewest cards of any of the factions. That is because I am having difficulty finding art. If anybody knows were to find good art for them and the rest of my tribes, I would be happy to know. I am currently using the fantasy art thread here and deviantart.com.
It has recently come to my attention that some people would like text renders of my cards, unfortunately, I have very little time for project already, and I won't be able to comply. Sorry for any inconviniences. I also have been switching some art around. I hope I am not confusing anybody.
Here is the first to of a new cycle of Lotus Temple cards. There are many 5 color cycles within the Lotus Temple. There are many colored artifacts in the Lotus Temple.
Healthy plants is an akward name for a mechanic. It is also very situational. Maybe a name like Photosynthesis or Fertility would be better.
Annoying Mosquito is strong. Perhaps remove the flying, since they can't fly very high they are pretty easy to hit. Also, it should be worded, 'Whenever Annoying Mosquito attacks and isn't blocked, defending player discards a card.' See Abyssal Nightstalker.
Radroach is ok in green, see Tukatongue Thallid, though green does not get many -1/-1 counters.
Mr. Gutsy seems weak. 4 mana usually gets you at least a 3/3, and with the drawback, he could be a 4/5. You could tack on a metalcraft ability instead.
Thanks for your comments; I am posting the new versions on the OP now.
EDIT: This is a fun way to showcase my favorite cards and ask for opinions.
This is a fun card with an intresting piece of art. It represents one of the two factions within the Shining Tribe, the Soldiers and the Shamans. The soldiers wage war upon the temple while the shamans, or singers, stay home and lament the loss of their ancestors.
The Wizard Coucil is full of fun uncommon creatures. I am a bit worried this one is underpowered, but I love it. The flavor is still undecided.
There are many cards in the Lotus Temple that cause creatures to tap, and this card rewards them. This is a part of a cycle, the only other of which has been revealed is Tainted Lotus. These are a bit underpowered, and I can't find many flower art.
Okay, this is all I have time for, please comment!

I am thinking about changing Honorable, but you will have to convince me. Does anybody else have input in this?
Also, thanks for the Sarkhan art, but that wasn't quite what I was looking for. If found a slightly better one, but I am still looking.
I need wording help with this card:
I want him to have frenzy + protection from white and blue, but the second two abilities I am not so sure about.
Updated with new cards for both sets.
Here are some of my favorites of the new set, the Thieves of Moli.

All the planeswalkers have been revealed:
Here is the first to of a new cycle of Lotus Temple cards. There are many 5 color cycles within the Lotus Temple. There are many colored artifacts in the Lotus Temple.
There are some more great Raven Guild cards too.
So, these are the first of my new generation of Thallids, changed from the old. What do you think? Were the old Thallids better?
If you like these, or you don't, please comment on my set, the link is in my sig.
Annoying Mosquito is strong. Perhaps remove the flying, since they can't fly very high they are pretty easy to hit. Also, it should be worded, 'Whenever Annoying Mosquito attacks and isn't blocked, defending player discards a card.' See Abyssal Nightstalker.
