Creature – Dragon
For Challenge # 060: Drat; multiverse lost my comments; AND most of my card. Comemnts were musings on lack of tattoo, and my weanting to do something a bit like totem armour.
trying to get flipness to stick
Ok, can't make making it into a flip card stick. So going with tokens. (But I like the wording on both "The next time ~ dies" and "Red dragon token")
add colour indicator
blegh; the casting cost is only there to make that half of the card red. but if I have to have it, let's at least make it high enough to not be utterly broken if you cast it straight into its flipped state.
Does setting the colour to red without a casting cost not work?
I actually think this would be a lot clearer with a token. Flip cards are always very crowded. And 5/5 dragon tokens are pretty normal (assuming it's ok to give it flying? A 5/5 dragon without is going to be confusing.)
Or make it double-sided.
If you want this effect, the way to do it is template it like Homura, Human Ascendant. You shouldn't need a casting cost: just use the "Colour" dropdown in the bottom half.
The DFC equivalent is Loyal Cathar. But I agree, the best way would be to use tokens, because 5/5 flying dragons are a completely standard token type.
By the by, very nice use of the art's naturally wide frame... and a mechanic that matches the art to boot.
try using the colour drop down again
Yeah - No. Using the colour drop down makes it go back to white every time.
Ok; madness. If I select red with keyboard and hit enter it sticks; doing with mouse - it shows red, but goes back to white when I submit. Fixied for now, anyway.
