I'm keeping your criticism in mind, btw, as long as a comment remains marked as unadressed I am still planning to get around to the problem.
I'm certainly not in love with the current color distribution, but I find it easier to cut green later than not give it a whirl.
I'm using this set as testing ground for my work with Cockatrice - finally going digital with my playtests. This means also that I'll pick up card creation and refinement.
I have come to appreciate card art for this way of playtesting especially, so that will be added to the list of things to get done sooner rather than later.
TODOs:
The splashes still don't seem necessary. "Cutting down the trees" is a very anti- thing to do anyway. The night elves in Warcraft 3 use the forest/trees the "proper" way, not the Orcish Lumberjack way.
in the mana cost doesn't serve much of a purpose IMO (lowers the cmc by or so?), especially from the flavor side of things (why is a "sea/water elemental" white?). Could be a hybrid if it weren't for the flavor which clearly indicates mono-.
You voiced some concerns I had myself. I agree and implemented some changes.
Alternative design: Black Morass Daemon
name: Black Morass Daemon >> Red Ridge Daemon; "~ can only attack alone." >> "~ can't block."
See Red Ridge Daemon.
Searching for the correct Daemon design.
Reference: Morkrut Necropod & Ripscale Predator are uncommon.
Something to go with the theme established with raid.
Yay, it's Mind the Webs! :)
It doesn't destroy walls or gates - it just... "opens" them(?)
Is it just me or is the flavor slightly off? This would be more fitting for that Trojan horse trope I think.
IMO a drawback which at worst amounts to "can't attack" doesn't feel particulary (you would expect the opposite like "can't block" or "attacks each turn if able"). Given exalted it might actually be ... On the other hand, WotC seems to have used "can't attack alone" drawback for white cards recently, so... Idk?
