    Hi, I've apparently had the same issue. For custom sets we're (rightfully) limited to only one* thread. My idea was to edit it to add further content. That's what I did yesterday, added my blue cards with great care and the thread was treated as spam and locked Frown
    https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/custom-card-creation/custom-set-creation-and/819005-wanderlands-wdl-a-lewis-carrolls-inspired-w-i-p

    I understand this may be a particular situation, but I think like many hobbyist designer, I came to MTG Salvation for get the great "Custom Design" community feedback. I had an account many years ago but have no idea what it was, so yeah, subscribed again, and started with a long thread :/

    Thanks rowanalpha for your feedback, it helps me refine the mechanics to ensure it could be fun to actually play them.

    I think I can fix it up a bit, based on your observations.
    Mad would be more flexible strategy-wise with : "Mad (Any time you could untap this creature, you may put a +1/+1 counter on it instead.)"

    Startler would then synergize nicely with it, allowing you to cast a Startler creature during your second main phase to get that +1/+1 counter and still choosing to untap the Mad creature on your next turn.

    For Gluttony and Cook I realize I forgot to post here the White food card I've made.
    I will add it to the spoiler, and also consider adding a food creation mechanic on some of the creatures.
    Food cards will be colored in this set, except for food tokens.

    For Early, I thought of making it a straightforward "paid" pseudo-flash with one effect : "Early {cost} (You may cast this spell for its Early cost during an opponent’s turn, if you do put a +1/+1 counter on a creature you control.)"
    The effect could be different for each creature with it, making the formatting more like a "Keyword - Effect description" I guess, like Landfall or Spell mastery, but as there is a {cost} here... well, I don't know yet.

    I'm not much versed into some rules subtilities, alas, so would it make a difference having it worded like this ? : "Early {cost} (If this is the first card played during any turn, put a +1/+1 counter on a creature you control. You may cast it for its Early cost during an opponent’s turn.)"

    Hi everyone, I'm not an extensive speaker, english is not my native language, and I'm a hobbyist card designer with too few IRL Magic Experience.
    That said, I still want to share with you my fun at designing a Wonderland flavoured set and get your insightful feedback Smile
    And maybe one day, some people will playtest this and have fun - I would be thrilled.

    If you crave pictures, the work-in-progress visual spoiler is here : Wanderlands Set
    Here goes my text spoiler (without text flavor for now), I will update it when I have stable enough stuff.
    Later on, when it will be more refined, I will talk more about the mechanics and synergies I envision.
