Actually I didn't really like the push Merfolk gets with a new lord, and it even trumps all the lords they had previously since this new one is so much better.
Apparently, MaRo said that Merfolk will make a big splash (:D) in Return to Ravnica.
ive been having trouble with treefolk indestructible and other tribal decks in my meta. have had to run a lot more exile and creature control and it ends up making my fun much less. any ideas? the only deck that i've really been able to win with lately is my grave pact deck. good bye tribal, but otherwise it's been tough.

I had the same experience with Treefolk; against a friend's faerie deck, it got demolished. I have found that Treefolk are just too slow and they don't really do much offensively.
actually. i meant against treefolk. my friend has made a really fast really strong. really great treefolk deck. and of course vamp decks and merfolk decks

The one to ask is Blue Sun's Seeker. If he remembers my Treefolk deck, he might remember his Faerie deck that kicked my butt all the time!
Just curious, is posting in the casual forums some sort of requirement to join here (that's how it came off as, or at least implied when I read the opening post)? I don't venture too much outside of clans often, but this clan is what appears to be best for me, I love EDH, Peasant and Pauper magic...Not too competitive anymore aside from the occasional Limited FNM.
i'd be glad to put up our clan tag, but for some reason, when i go to edit my signature, there is no little pencil/edit button next to sig, just the other parts of my profile.... when did that change?
Hey everyone! Here in florida with the family and having as much fun as we can! Got a bit to check on things here thanks to the storms keeping us indoors.
Great job on the sig Gaea's Regeant! Got it uploaded.
See you all regularly in about 4 days!
I do believe I'm part of this clan now, so hello to all y'all!
Yes you are. Welcome!
On another note....we have that card contest. Day/Night cards, right? I'm not sure, but I think that we're picking one for each rarity. So far, I like the ideas that some members have presented--namely artifact/equipment cards and land cards.
A Side:
Lost Technology
Artifact
3
Transform: Flip this card over if you have 3 or more riggers under your control
Riggers cost 2 less to cast
B Side:
Mobile Factory
Artifact- Equipment
MultiEquip 3: Pay 3 for each creature you're going to equip this to. May be no more than 3 creatures. Creatures equipped this way must attack and block together.
If one or more creatures are equipped to mobile factory, those creatures have Haste and Protection from Red.
If two or more creatures are equipped to mobile factory, those creatures have Trample and Protection from Green.
If three creatures are equipped to mobile factory, those creatures are Riggers in addition to their other creature types and gain "tap 3 creatures equipped to Mobile Factory: assemble a 0/1 Contraption and put it onto the battlefield."
If there are no longer any creatures equipped to Mobile Factory, transform this card (flip it over)
put out some riggers for cheaper, equip them, they get stronger and end up just being a factory for contraption creatures.
if you have 3 steamflogger bosses equipped to it, and you tap them, you put 8 0/1 contraptions into play. and the bosses themselves would be +3/+0 = 6/3s with haste, trample, pro green/red and have to attack together and block together. of course any creature could equip to this because they'd become riggers in the process
I realize this doesn't fit the transform idea, but maybe it would have options like this on both sides. different evolution for each path you decide to take.
Missing Link
3 cmc
2/2
Creature - changeling
Activate a number only if you've activated all numbers before it. You may not activate any of the numbers more than once. 1: Choose haste or Vigilance. This creature gains that ability permanently 2: Choose +2/+0 or +0/+2. This creature gains that permanently 3: Choose Flying or Trample. This creature gains that ability permanently 4: Choose Lifelink or Shroud. This creature gains that ability Permanently 5: Choose Indestructible or Hexproof. This creature gains that ability Permanently 6: Choose Annihilator 1 or +7/+7. This creature gains that permanently
On the topic of custom card design - something I mentioned to theBlueMuzzy in a PM is the idea of transforming lands, which seems like it could be an interesting area of design to explore.
A couple of ideas like that:
U/R Transform Land
Land
U/R Transform Land enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add U to your mana pool, then transform U/R Transform Land.
//
U/R Transform Land Transformed
Land T: Add R to your mana pool, then transform U/R Transform Land Transformed.
Also:
Planeswalker's Path
Land
Planeswalker's Path enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add 1 to your mana pool. 2,T: Put a loyalty counter on Planeswalker's Path. Then, if there are four or more loyalty counters on Planeswalker's Path, you may transform it.
//
Planeswalker's Domain
Land T: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. 3, T: Remove all loyalty counters from Planeswalker's Domain, then put that many loyalty counters on target planeswalker.
Transform Land: a sweet Common.
Planeswalker's Path: Mythic Rare!
Good ideas so far. Something to work with for the upcoming card contest.
yes yes yes. i'm quite excited for the contest! here's one more
i've always had an issue that only some colors have the most amazing mana accel legendary land: gaea's cradle - for each creature. green tolarian academy - for each artifact. blue serra's sanctum - for each enchantment. white cabal coffers - for each swamp, or crypt of agadeem - for each creature in grave. black
black doesn't have a legendary one like that, but those two fill the slot nicely
so why not make one for red based off of either lands in the grave, or sorceries or instants in the grave. for example
Koth's Caves
Legendary Land
When Koth's Caves enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you sacrifice 3 lands you control. T:Add RR to your mana pool
Transform - when you have 10 or more lands in your graveyard flip this over
Koth's Volcano
Legendary Land
When Koth's Volcano comes into play, destroy all nonland permanents you control. T: Deal damage to target creature equal to the number of lands in your graveyard. T: Deal damage to target player equal to half the number of lands in your graveyard.
OR
Chandra's Perch (picture of her sitting on a ledge picking enemies off)
Legendary Land
When Chandra's perch enters the battlefield, choose sorcery or instant. T: Add 1 R to your mana pool and deal 1 damage to target creature or player if you successfully cast a red sorcery or instant this turn.
Transform - If you have 10 or more sorcery or instant cards in your graveyard, flip this card over
Chandra's Cliffs (image of her minions divebombing and launching stuff off)
Legendary Land T: Add R to your mana pool for each instant or sorcery in your graveyard and Chandra's cliffs deals 3 damage to you.
Feel free to suggest alterations to powerlevel. i may have made them too good.
And Thank You for the compliments on my clan sig it was fun to make. If you notice, the cards on the table were all of the cards that were voted to be in the sig. so everyone "wins"
It appears that it's going to be three rounds of creating a transform card with a specific brief for each card, with no un-cards allowed; that's just from what's been mentioned amongst the Clan Council, though. It looks like the announcement thread is awaiting moderator confirmation and then I can let you all know the exact contest details.
Thanks!
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people, but: what is an un-card?
So the card contest has begun. Unfortunately, none of our earlier suggestions fit the parameters of the design prompts.
The card for round 1 is a werewolf.
How do we make a werewolf that hasn't been done before?
We make an ARTIFACT WEREWOLF!
Something like this:
Clockwinder's Assistant3
Artifact Creature - Werewolf Construct {R} 2, T: Transform target Double Faced Card other than Clockwinder's Assistant.
At the beginning of each upkeep, if there are three or more transformed cards on the battlefield, transform Clockwinder's Assistant. "Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead." --Daylight Savings adage
1/2
// Clockwinder's Guardian
Artifact Creature - Werewolf {R}
Fading 3
Remove a fade counter from Clockwinder's Guardian: put a +1/+1 counter on target Werewolf or Artifact Creature.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if there are no fade counters on Clockwinder's Guardian, transform Clockwinder's Guardian. "A regular wind-up toy world this is, I think." --Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
4/4
nice flavor! i'd vote that one in. it looks like you could use his first ability to flip over an opponents card also, so it'd be turning their creatures back to the weak side.
Apparently, MaRo said that Merfolk will make a big splash (:D) in Return to Ravnica.

Against Treefolk you want aggro and unblockable. If your friend runs Doran, the Siege Tower, just cast Inside Out.

Hope it fits your desires.

Philip, you will only be allowed to join the clan if you reveal who is in your avatar.
Sounds like a Rare card to me.
Could be an Uncommon.
Transform Land: a sweet Common.
