That's a bit more exciting, yeah. Sufficiently much so that I might say it should be -4 rather than -3.

What about "You gain an emblem with 'You may cast Human cards from your graveyard?"

2013-02-11 14:32:42: jmgariepy commented on Markus, Earth's Awakened

Power-wise, it seems perfectly fair. But it fails to wow me. I don't think you need to have an game-wrecking ultimate for the card to be fair/fun, but it still needs to be exciting. Goryo's Vengeance is a good card, but it doesn't deserve to be a mythic.

Well; it's the first planeswalker I don't immediately want to purge from existence. (That should totally be a card name)

So yeah; it probably needs roughly tripling in power.

I like the first two. The last ability is a curious "sortof-ultimate" that can be used the turn you cast him, but doesn't do very much. Since it's restricted to Humans, does it have to exile it at the end step? Could it just say "Return target Human creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield"?

I think he could certainly be 6/6.

Does anyone have thoughts on this?

2013-02-11 04:23:17: Link commented on Swarm Caller

dude1818: The point of the concept is that you don't have a choice. You can't fail to find this way. He gets all of them.

SadisticMystic: I put "creatures" because I think that's the usual convention, outside of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor. However, it should probably say "cards" instead.

jmgariepy: But that makes things too easy.

I really don't want the search to be optional, which is why I took the path that I did. Should he have more impressive stats? His ability is something of a drawback. I just worried about making it broken.

"You have no maximum hand size for the rest of the game"?

2013-02-10 23:45:22: SadisticMystic commented on Swarm Caller

And after paying 6 mana for a 2/2, how many of them are you just going to end up discarding for hand size anyway?

Does it really need to say "creatures" and prevent tutoring 4x Nameless Inversion?

I wouldn't like having to reveal my entire library, especially since this is a splashy mythic. What if instead you tutored for as many IRSS creatures as you wanted? I.e. "Search your library for any number of Insect, Rodent, Spider, or Squirrel cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand."

2013-02-10 21:20:51: Alex commented on Swarm Caller

Ha! I love it!

Nice continuity nod in the definition of "swarm" matching Swarmyard.

Thanks, JMGariepy. That's all good to hear. I'm definitely not a developer. :-P

2013-02-10 06:09:46: jmgariepy commented on Boros Enchantment

You're a good designer, Link. I wouldn't worry over that. To be honest, I think your big problem is polish. You're the sort of person that I'd put on my design team because you come up with great ideas, but I wouldn't put you on my development team, because you like ideas over application. That's not a drawback, it's a talent.

I ended up using Boros Sanctifier and Orzhov Purifier, by the way.

The challenge for round two of this month's Custom Card League on MTG Salvation, which can be found here, was to design a mirrored pair without the colors of the two guilds we chose in round one. I chose Boros and Orzhov.
I don't often do well in the contests there, and sometimes it makes me wonder if I'm any good at this design thing. :(

I like all these Boros/Orzhov mirrors; what prompted them?

I would find this fun to play. :-( If you control enough creatures, though, it does work out similarly to Blazing Archon, which means it should have a higher converted mana cost. However, like Blazing Archon, this is susceptible to creature removal. If your board gets wiped, this is useless.
Maybe this would be more interesting as a creature with "Whenever ~ blocks a creature, each creature you control deals 1 damage to that creature."
