I use Magic Set Editor 2. Very easy, continually updated, and generally has nice results. It sometimes handles text sizing/spacing poorly so I use Photoshop to tweak occassionally, though MS Paint would work just as well.
@snoopdoggatog: Oh yeah i definetly agree with you and thanks for the support. Yeah i did stay calm and acted proffesionally when the clinical coordinator was accusing me of cheating which i wasn't because the x-ray technologist had her signature on a compency form sheet about an certain x-ray exam that i passed on during my test with it. So i dont see how she could accuse me of cheating when i have an actual signature signed by a registered x-ray technologist on my compency form sheet. Well that bites that they dropped you snoop when you were sick but I believe you can finish your clinical work in the ultrasound program. Now we have two people in here that are doing clinical work in the modalities of x-ray.
Well, since Kraj did it, I guess I will too. I was wondering if you guys could help me with my FCC card. I don't have art yet, but I want to see what you think of the rough draft.
Annoyance Generator
Artifact
:3mana:: Put a 0/1 Pest artifact creature token into play.
, Sacrifice a Pest: Choose one - Draw a card; or Pesty Generator deals 1 damage to target creature or player; or you gain 2 life. Whether you test 'em, flick 'em, or eat 'em, Pests are always helpful creatures to have. Except, of course, when they aren't yours.
I hate the name of the card. It's pretty much just a synonym of Nuisance Engine, so if anyone has suggestions, that would be nice.
P.S. I hope this isn't against the rules to ask for suggestions on an FCC card. I guess since Kraj did it, it can't be too bad, right?
Just kidding. I don't want to have an unfair advantage. Forget what I said :).
P.P.S. I'm off to go for a fairly long run, hopefully, which makes 30 miles this week, which is great. I've needed more miles. I'll see if there are any suggestions when I get back :).
P.S. I hope this isn't against the rules to ask for suggestions on an FCC card. I guess since Kraj did it, it can't be too bad, right?
All I asked about was whether the ability was understandable since it was weird. No one's going to DQ you for asking for input, but asking for general advice about the entire card isn't really in the spirit of the FCC.
As a general design tip, though, when you have multiple abilities on a card make sure one isn't way better or worse than the others.

Ok, sorry about that. I wasn't sure if it was okay or not. I'll take the card down, because I don't want to be unfair or anything. Thank you for the advice though.
Congratz and cookie to Yukora for the 2100th post ! !!!
Geez, rape took up a lot of time.... hopin' that everyone who endured it, heals... My roommate did as well...its interesting waht you guys had to say tho, just don't go over the top, attacking everyone's perspectives:) (which it was looking dangerously close to doing but seemed to stop in time, yay!)
And I've been spending quite a bit of time with Arguas yesterday and today..... We're spending the last 2 days b4 we go on a real break for 5 weeks...
One of the newer regulars, and indeed quite regular, kevinliu, or as he prefers to be called, Cecilia, has been a regular poster for over 2 months, I believe. Constantly dropping in on both the house and on Natural 20 with an update, keeping us on track with his clinicals and his pursuits.
Cecilia came to MTGSalvation NOT for the Rumor mill, and NOT for custom card creation, but rather to get help on his legacy decks. Since then he wandered to the ARD (Alliance of Rogue Deckers), before joining the Coffeehouse, then moving over to Natural 20. This is not usual for most of us regulars. He says that his screen name has three parts: Kevin Liu is his name, of course. 23 is Michael Jordan's jersey number, and 33 is Scottie Pippen's jersey number, both his favorite basketball players.
Concerning Magic, Cecilia says that his favorite card is Word of Command. This obscure black card with almost no art lets you play with an opponent's card, forcing them to pay for it. His friends used to play with Fireball and Stream of Life, so it was an ideal pick to counter those threats.
When he's not trampling over the red zone, Cecilia likes to play console RPGs. He's currently playing Final Fantasy 12, and loving it. He watches horror movies, and likes to talk on the phone and online with his friends. He likes basketball, even though he claims he hasn't played in a while. Finally, he's collecting Legends from Legends. He's got 19 so far!
Of himself, Cecilia says little, except that he's in his second year at the University of Nevada for an X-Ray Tech program. He's got 2 younger sisters, he's chinese, and very single, ladies
About the Coffeehouse, Cecilia likes it for the same reason everyone else does; the friendly people, and the warm atmosphere. Huzzah. Of the menu, he likes to dip into the brownies and cookies. Cecilia! No cookies before dinner.
Of its regulars, Cecilia claims that he likes everyone, but Mamelon has a special place in his heart. "she is a great friend and she understands me and everyone else in the coffeehouse. I also enjoy talking to her alot. She is also humble when it comes to debating in the debate forum which is great. :-)"
And that's it for this week's regular, kevinliu2333!

Starting a new little trend, I will be including a song of the RotW's choice. Cecilia's choice is from his favorite new RPG, Final Fantasy 12. To the Place of the Gods is a nice and melancholy tune.
Not to be left out, I've included 2 more songs. The first is the song that'll get you dancing, and it happens to me my and Heather's first song (it's our song!), The Numa Numa Dance, or Dragostea din tei (English Version) You'll probably recognize it.
Finally, I've included a classic from Ocarina of Time that will drive you INSANE. The Windmill Hut, or better known as The Song of Storms.
Also, Numa Numa is the only song I've ever made a music video to - I just don't have the video memory on my computer to make a really serious one. You can watch it here.
Strongbad, a World Project Leader is basically a limited Modship of a certain project (or subforum) in the Colosseum. They can do anything a Mod can inside of that subforum. It is indeed an honor. Usually WPLs also run the storytelling or GMing in the subforum. I'm a WPL of the Pen & Paper Inn.
And yes, the Numa Numa song is one of my favorites, because it's my girlfriend's song. She loves it
@ Kraj: Thanks! I've got the program up and running, I just have one minor question: Is there any way to remove reminder text from the rendered card?
Yeppers. Under the (iirc) Set Info tab, there should be a check box that says something along the lines of "Automatically include reminder text" or such. Just uncheck it. The only problem there is you can't do it on a card-by card basis as far as I know. But if you're only making one card at a time and not a whole set, it shouldn't be an issue.

Ok, I think I see. I've actually never really been inside the Colosseum before, but I have a small understanding of what it is. Well, anyways, congrats Alacar and Photon Eater on the promotion, or whatever you call it. Maybe sometime I'll check out the Pen & Paper Inn (even though I have no idea what it is :p).

You can easily turn it off, and still include reminder text if it's needed. Just use parenthases. It automatically italicizes.
And thanks, all, for the congratulations. And Congrats to Cecilia!
Thanks guys! Also thanks again alacar for picking me to be regular of the week.
Well i am glad to be back and looks like my clinicals is almost over until next year comes in january. I am not sure what i am going to do over the long break yet but ill figure out somethings. But thanks again guys!

I also use MSE2 to make my card renders, and will pull out Photoshop as needed to make adjustments/exceptions that dont come out well in my renders.
Speaking of that, i completely forgot to start my card for this FCC round...ill have to do that tonight, just need to find a good idea first.
