Yomiji, Who Bars the Way
One of my favourite flavour texts ever written. Tragic and moving.

Ahhh my brain, I think the initial design interpretation was far more elegant, this just want to be a intelligence test.
Ok lets have a crack at it
I think thats fairly clear?
Really the hard part is indicating that each token only gains a single effect and that no two tokens get the same effect (unless it is gaining the effect twice!!!!! AHHH!)
Imagine trying to resolve this in a multi-player commander game!
EDIT: BOXES! and spelling
Creature — Plant Hydra {R}
Vanishing X
At the the beginning of your end step put a +1/+1 counter on~ for each time counter on ~.
1/1
I think this should be fairly well costed, considering it doesn't have trample and dies eventually unlike other hydras.
Eg: if 5 paid (X = 3) then would enter as 1/1, become a 4/4 then a 6/6 then a 7/7 then vanish.
What you guys think, any other cool vanishing effects I could do?
EDIT: also changed the clock to use time counters not charge counters.
Knowledge Clock 6
Artifact {R}
Vanishing 4
Whenever you draw a card, put a time counter on Knowledge Clock.
TX, remove X time counters from Knowledge Clock: Put X time counters on target permanent.
Discard 2 cards counterspell is tricky as either a 2 for 1 or a counter, maybe need a tiny drawback like needing to pay 2 life to cast?
Remember any instant speed discard is REALLY good.
If a spell or ability would change the P/T, color or type of a creature token you control, put a creature token thats a copy of it onto the battlefield thats a copy of it. create a copy of triggering spell or ability targeting the new token created.
Obviously my wording is just as bad but is understandable, as you version had some spelling mistakes.
Actually you probably want to copy the spell effect before creating the token to make it more grokable.
Also the card renders need artist names on them I believe.
Otherwise they seem to fit the pokemon fairly well.
Here are a few simple cards.
The rarity and P/T are definitely not final.
My notes are in the spoilers.
Mora of Battlelust RR
Creature — Illusion {C}
Vanishing 3
When ~ is put into a graveyard from play, if it had no time counters on it, place it onto the battlefield under target opponent’s control.
3/1
Fading Oneiromancer 2U
Creature — Human Wizard {C}
Vanishing 5
T1U: Remove a time counter from Fading Oneiromancer, draw a card.
1/2
Loose Tether U
Enchantment — Aura {C}
Enchant nonland permanent
Vanishing 3
When Loose Tether leaves the battlefield, return Loose Tether and enchanted permanent to it’s owners hand.
will probably reword so it dies properly if killed with enchantment removal.
Knowledge Clock 6
Artifact — Aura {R}
Vanishing 4
Whenever you draw a card, put a charge counter on Knowledge Clock.
T2, remove X charge counters: Put X time counters on target permanent.
Seems like this is probably one of the best ways to make it bypass hexproof etc, also plays well to the seductress aspect (attacking makes you vulnerable).
Also like the idea of only effecting non legendary creatures as a trinket mechanic.
Not sure it needs the forced attacking aspect though, also forced attack is a bit outside blues color pie.
Legendary Creature - Siren
Whenever a non-legendary creature deals damage to you, put a seduction counter on it.
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may gain control of a creature with a seduction counter on it for as long as you control CARDNAME.
1/3
Nice solid artifact creature design, I think that the clockwork Amalgam's sacrifice cost may need tweaking depending on if you have many support cards for +1/+1 counters on artifact creatures you have.
Hilarity with Corpsejack Menace or Doubling Season but thats not really an issue.
looks good.
Is this supposed to work with your opponents creatures?
if so then maybe make a 1/1 or up the mana cost to 4.
May want to increase mana cost to 1R or remove haste as it allows you to possibly get any creature with 2 or less power (clockwork amalgam) out turn 1 without any response if you have the first turn.
Thats possibly 10 damage turn 1!!!
Maybe make it based on CC not power and remove the haste?
same as above but not as broken
This seems like a step in the correct direction, why is the return to hand at the end step and not immediate?
So as soon as it blocks it loses defender, nice.
For memory reasons you may want to add some sort of non functioning token, not 100% necessary but work testing.
The one drop is far too strong, 3/3 with no huge downside, maybe make it a 1/3?
The gate attendent seems the most well powered out of them.
Overall nice work but obviously needs a little tweaking.
definitely need a rework.
What about a creature with an enter the battlefield ability that only triggers if not "countered"?
I may try Gigaguess' idea as well
What I really want flavour wise is a creature that is obviously a challenge to summon correctly. (see Dreamwalkers and Pondering Oakbeasts flavour)
Any ideas?
Agreed.
That does make it much weaker on the defensive, which suits red very well.
Love the flavour on Absurd Paranoia
Also the others are right about the goblin should have a buff based on other creatures so it doesn't effect itself.
What about cards that care about being veiled?
though that may be difficult rule wise because they are exiled.
These are my smaller cycle that is finished
I will probably move these to uncommon
Do you think they are current too powerful?
Should I move them to 3CC or make them a little weaker?
Is the wording for that ability good?
Dreamwalker Scout 1W
Creature — Human Scout {C}
Vigilance

I've been reading various posts and discussions about standard and custom sets for a month or two and decided I should join up.
I play magic cards, mainly doing local drafts with a playgroup I have.
I am doing a games design and programming course which I am really enjoying.
I create games using unity and code mainly in C# and python.
Currently having a stab at making a custom set, called Dreamshift
