I first I asked "do we really need a coherent reason to be a clan?" but then I came up with our reason for being.
I joined this clan because I respected the advice of its members and critique's they provided. I also appreciated that there was some what of a standard to get in. RND doesn't need to be about one project, but the betterment of all card creation on MTGS. The card creation thread is our domain. And we are the prince adviser to all the quest to be like RND.
:dance:Look at us were RND!:dance:
@ZasZ234: Yeah exactly like white knight I just can't bring myself to making vanilla cards there not innovative.
@Kraj: I fully understand your frustration on the set. Many of us have a lot going on. I'm sorry I haven't contributed. Maybe updates on the sets progress could be posted here, and a current need. Jupiter is daunting, maybe we need to brake it into smaller chunks.
@intreped: with a pep talk like that you need to be friended.

PS: Do I need to write up bullet points for my schpeal all you who get board easily; myself included.
Sorry to here about your grandfather fox, and a half-sister thats pretty big stuff. My life has been pretty much heavy work weeks lately. It being summer I've been playing paint ball every other weekend. I've missed the last three months of the FCC due to maxing out, I get to the post in time but it's been closed.
I've been working on my first 165 card set. There is a much different mentality to building a set rather than designing only cards. The cards I usually make are more innovative and rule bending than ones in the set. I've had to hold back some on the set for synergy sake. Still tying to figure out how to make vanilla low casting cost creatures that aren't vanilla. Yeah that was hard to explain.
Hi. I'm interested in joining [R&D]. Heres a selection of ideas I came up with when reading over the old design forums for Jupiter...
Yozli Incarnate
Enchantment Land (R) (CARDNAME isn't a spell.)
CARDNAME is green.
Sacrifice a land: Reveal CARDNAME and put it into play. Play this ability from any zone.
:symtap:: Add one mana to your mana pool of any color a land in your graveyard could produce.
Notes - You can play YI from any zone that is currently revealed to you; so while searching your library, while its in your graveyard, when its RFG'd, while searching your sideboard off of a wish and as long as its in your hand. This functionality is balanced by the fact that it doesn't grant you any accel and that most of the time you will have to play it off of that ability for it to have any effect.
Bad BloodR
Instant (C)
Sanguine X (As you play this card, you may pay up to X life.)
Deal X damage to target creature. Nothing stings quite like bad blood.
Accounted LineageGG
Enchantment - Aura (R)
Flash
Enchant spell (Target a spell as you play this. This card comes into play attached to that spell.)
When enchanted spell resolves, put it into its owner's graveyard. With the build up of Yozli spiraling out of control; Chuatzeki found it neccesary to regulate everything that was allowed into creation.
Notes - An aura for spells; rather unexplored territory tied to an effect not often seen in green. However it is important to note that this spell will have no effect on sorceries or instants, but will give green a counter spell for artifacts, enchantments and creatures. The first two green already has plenty of methods to deal with while all three are flavorfully covered under Chuatzeki's strict regulation of births/creation. An earlier variant only costed G and gave players the option of discarding a creature card to destroy the enchantment, but I feel this version is preferable.
Bad blood is a definite no, the reason channel was banned was because of what you could do with it and fireball; a game win in turn three. I'll say the flavor redeems it a little.
Yozli Incarnate is neat. Very creative I think there is a errata for it somewhere but It's not coming to me.
Accounted Lineage: It could just be me but don't cards go to the graveyard when resolved. yeah yeah this would stop my buybacks but there is no reason for it to be an enchantment. Accounted LineageGG
Instant (R)
When target spell resolves, put it into its owner's graveyard.
I love the creativity I'm currently in the same vain just seeing how many rules I can twist and break.
I'll make it easy for you. I have one vote thats for !vote no lynch. I hate to go nearly creature less with out counter magic, but the balance of milling and removal repeating is quite refreshing. I think I'll be net decking this one.
faster-than-light? yeah I couldn't figure out the acronym. And for post-apocalyptic societies you'd like Rifts as well then.
@ the_kist_lich: Adepts are neat, my current character is a cybersam with full alphaware torso, arms, and legs. I need some more money to finish up and I'll be robocop.
@ the_kist_lich: both but moved to SR4 and haven't gone back. The Werewolf: The Apocalypse books is an accomplishment. When you put them in order do the spines make a pattern like the changeling books do?
Thank you all. I'm glad to be here, and congrats to all the Grads, Hellbent Hyram and Albaran. It's odd to me that you all had finals and graduated in June. Here graduation is always in May, I guess its not that big of a difference.
So I figures that I should tell you guys more about myself. I'm 26 and work for a Broadband internet service provider Direct Link. I'm recently engaged, bought my first house in Parker, Colorado in April. I have been playing Magic since the end of fallen empires. I took a hiatus from exodus to onslaught. Yeah I missed the really broken blocks. I have three dogs and a orange wing amazon parrot. In my free time I play Guitar hero, and Shadow-run RPG. Favorite TV shows Doctor Who and Stargate SG-1/ Atlantis, not to forget Attack of the show. Yeah can't think of anything else ATM so I'll wrap this up.
Yeah a dead thread bumped all because I wanted to post my new banner and it seemed beter to use an old thread than make a new one. sorry this dosent mean i opened up shop again.
Congrats to those who proceed. A very tough round - including one Tie which was unavoidable.
Thanks for your patience.
Congrats WhisperedThunder a well deserved win. Kinda saw it coming, and I still haven't come up with a name for the counters on my card. If you care. My card properly formatted should have been.
Mystic Parish 4G
Enchantment
When Mystic Parish comes into play with [name] counters on it equal to the number of green mana that was spent to play it.
Sacrifice a nontoken creature and remove a counter from Mystic Parish: Put a number of 1/1 green Saproling creature tokens into play under your control equal to the number of counters on Mystic Parish.
Oh well I'll gracefully bow out.
:::bows to Ace and WhisperedThunder:::
Sorcery
Each player removes all creature cards from his or her graveyard from the game.
Creature - Zombies
Shroud
If Ambling Dead is in your graveyard, you may pay 1B, return Ambling Dead to play.

Not that I'm adding much. But way to go on your promptness Technomagus. Internet issues and still the first to finish.
