I know I'm not the person at whom you directed the question, but I do have what might be the largest collection of personal cards in an unthemed set.
Creating a card generally gives the creator a sense that they "own" that card, and even with the ability to search for cards you've created and the fact that it identifies the card's creator in Cards With No Home, putting a card in that set feels impersonal, and like you're giving up ownership. I also think a big part of the reason is that putting cards in that cardset feels like it is giving others permission to use them.
I have taken to putting cards to which I'm less attached in to CWNH and those to which I feel more of a connection in my own unthemed set.
I just want to ask out of curiosity. Why did you choose to create a cardset for miscellaneous cards, when Cards With No Home exists? The first time you create a cardset you even get a message suggesting that oneoff miscellaneous card designs could go in Cards With No Home. You're not at all alone in it - loads of users do it - and I'm trying to understand why. (I used to explicitly ask people to move their cards over to CWNH, but I've given up on that.) Can you help me understand what you get by having your own cardset that you wouldn't get by searching that cardset for your own creations?
part of a cycle of 3C rare Slivers with 'nontrivial' abilities
might need some overhauling
adapted to new assymetric Sliver template
This was supposed to be balanced around symmetric Slivers. But in addition this is a card design very much geared towards Spikes which is not where the tribe shines the most.
The original was certainly too strong. Reminiscent of Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs. This one is reminiscent of Elvish Farmer, which was decent, but the differences (0/1s, 1 life) just about counterbalance the increased speed.
Or just add "Planeswalkers are exiled" to the card?
Saying that; it's possibly interesting (and kinda nicely black) to provoke people into attacking your walkers instead of you yourself. But likely to be confusing. Also 2HG.
I've got quite a lot too; but my answer is I got grandfathered in, my misc cardset existed before the CWNH one. Sorry, no insight.

Buahahahaha. This is so often going to be "And... I just lost myself the game, didn't I. Attack with all my slivers and hope some get killed!"
Reminds me of Graveborn Muse. I don't think 2 life is necessary - 1 is the standard here.

Probably needs a replacement.

Reminder to myself to look up the rules ramifications of using a wording like "It's still a Sliver."

I like using "bury"'s most general definition to save a line of text here.

Heh. That's pretty cute. One of those cards that is probably balanced, but some people will look at and think is OP.

cost was:
text was: "Whenever a creature attacks you, put a 0/1 white Goat creature token into play. When you control six or more creatures, sacrifice ~."
I think the original wording is too strong a stall on the ground. It also has been criticized not being thematic enough.
Is this better?
Yow. That's nice! Almost back up to proper Counterspell. And it feels like you can get an extra turn with it.
Strictly worse of course; but yum. Really weird that it's better at countering less important spells. The game-winning ones go right through it.
Love it. Have no idea how to art it though.

Or you could go with the wording found on Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, though that's less popular.
Hmm, interesting. Nice approach to splashing "off-colour" keywords.

Nowadays I would strongly consider changing "you" to "you or a permanent you control".

added activated ability as per suggestion.
Thank you for the fix!
I am always happy if my designs get used elsewhere. This makes me glad already I decided to put this "set" together.
I use the more general meaning of "bury", also seen on Call of the Wild, which is "put into its owner's graveyad". :)
How do you destroy-and-can't-be-regenerated cards in your library?
