Not sure if this set will be +1/+1 or -1/-1. This design could work either way but is slightly shorter this way.

Obviously similar to the clockwork creatures, but I wanted something that gave a feel of winding down and winding up, but not feel like you just never got anywhere.

I may need to tweak the exact size and timing.

See Bravest Companion.

I'm not doing exact copies of Wizard of Oz characters, but I'm going for that kind of feel with these recent cards.

I'd forgotten Reaper King was the first coloured cost artifact, before we saw it more widely :)

No idea what this costs.

Originally an inst/sorc, but I wanted to keep "choose from three" and the life loss, and that just wasn't that strong without a body.

I feel like there's so many examples of enchanted creatures I would like s theme which captures the concept. I'm not sure this works though, it's nice enough for frog, but for beast, the bonus of getting a smaller creature is just not that big.

And the cards want to work in slightly different ways so I can't quite use a keyword or ability word. But I feel like getting "enchanted" in there is useful. I guess they could have a common name. "Enchanted Beast"? "Ensorcelled Beast"?

Reflection! I made a reflection! Those are probably not creature types any more, right? :) Maybe it should be illusion. Or Djinn.

2018-02-11 10:05:43: Jack V created and commented on the card Third Time Lucky

Originally "forbidden lore". Not sure of the right combination of numbers here.

2018-02-10 11:04:25: Jack V created and commented on the card Unwanted Boon

Take that, people who exclude evil faeries from christenings! :)

I wondered if I could make it only work on creatures that ETB this turn, to play up the christening flavour, but the aura implementation seemed like it was going to be clunky.

There could be a selection of artifacts with this theme.

So you conceptually kinda like 'pay in time/memories'? Sure, yeah, I can buy that.

Reminds me of Lost in Thought.

2018-02-09 16:21:24: Jack V created and commented on the card Faerie Bargain

I don't actually like "is this for me or the opponent" cards but somehow I keep wanting to design them. The fit for a faerie pact is so persuasive.

2018-02-09 15:53:27: Tahazzar commented on Enchanted Frog

Something about the card bothers me - I can't put my finger on it.

How about a modernized version of Gamekeeper? Perhaps with another trigger? Let's see... "When(ever) a legendary creature ETBs under your control" perhaps?

2018-02-09 15:34:55: Jack V commented on Enchanted Frog

It's true -- I can even reprint Turn to Frog. But I think faerie tales more often show the "i found an enchanted frog and don't know what it is" end of the story than the beginning.

2018-02-09 15:31:00: Tahazzar commented on Enchanted Frog

I think True Love Kiss does that trope pretty well. Actually, IMO the frog design should work off that. So I would make the frog concept into an Aura in the vein of Lignify / Snakeform. This would mean that now either mode of True Love Kiss would dispel it.

2018-02-09 14:31:04: Jack V created and commented on the card Enchanted Frog

Frog prince is an obvious trope, not sure of the best way of representing it.

Not sure if there should be a keyword mechanic for various "turn into other creatures" or if they're all different.
