I did not consider there being a lack of of Starfall counters when this drops. That was a definite oversight on my part. What do you think about this alternative Whenever you cast an enchantment begin Starfall (If there are no Starfall counters, create five Starfall counters. Otherwise, add a Starfall counter. One Starfall counter is removed each upkeep. When the last Starfall counter is removed, destroy two of each permanent type at random). |

See Apocalypse Lightning. So I know Starfall is an event, but the threat/promise of Starfall should feel cataclysmic, but also something that could be a crazy boon or danger to each color and each player. Not a huge fan of this for the event. I'd like to hear what others would feel. I'm looking for end-times feelings. Other ideas included each player discarding three cards and drawing three cards while also exiling three nonland permanents. |

Craw Magda thought the Imperial Table would leave like they had in the past. This time, more than just Communication ls Prospectors and Witchfinders arrived- doctors, gardeners, war mages, even the undead.
As long as you control three or more creatures, creatures you control are indestructible.
Whenever a spell cast by an opponent or the ability of a permanent an opponent controls causes Old Eagle God of Glasman or another permanent you control to leave the battlefield, you may exile target nonland permanent that opponent controls unless that player pays
.
Whenever an instant or sorcery spell you cast deals damage to a target, you sacrifice a Goblin. If you do, add
.
Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. If Wildcat Run consumed, it gains indestructible and trample until end of turn. Then, it fights another target creature.
See Old Eagle God of Glasman. Modal instant/ sorcery card to represent the two sides to the gods of Glasmarn.
Instant is two wings symbolizing unity for their whole (the planeswalker player).
The sorcery is the hypocrisy- the antagonists manage to set up and become more powerful and dangerous. Is the Old Eagle God too weak? Is it even a god?
Yesterday I was tinkering with the ideas for a return to Glasmarn. In Traditions of Glasmarn, I was mostly going off of folk horror vibes and aesthetics- the land and its inhabitants was built to capture those ideas.
The idea for a return to Glasmarn, focusing on the Imperial Table actually trying to take over and transform Glasmarn into another state of the empire and what that destruction would look like for Glasmarn and how, in-turn, it would be inflicted back upon the empire.
I was interested in using concepts something positive and something destructive to explore these ideas. Traditions of Glasmarn had 15 gods- three different cycles of gods to represent different concepts of divinity in folk horror. The ideas for this return wouldn't be able to handle fifteen gods, so this set would likely cut the number of gods down to five (whether the other gods are still in existence is a different question). White was the hardest to find a negative expression for. Unity was the choice for white's positive focus, but the negative focus for white eluded me, so i settled on hypocrisy. I don't feel this captures hypocrisy and I'm a disappointed bt tbat.

Honestly, the goal is just to have another creature on the field. I didn't have a goal for the player beyond making the decision to have a creature return in a way that felt balanced and fair as a mechanic. Pushing sacrifice-powered cards in black would complement Gravecrawler.
I wanted players to be able to use Gravecrawler on any turn and I wanted it to be repeatable. Entering tapped and a life cost felt appropriate. That's mana and life loss to be open. Limiting use each turn is to avoid scenarios that could go infinite with the mechanic. I felt being doable once potentially each turn really gave off the feeling of those who've mastered the magics and skills of overcoming death.
This card was made as part of the cycle to see what a common card with the mechanic looks like. I decided that Gravecrawler is innately higher power at common as the other mechanics all require some interaction to do anything. Black's common thus became a bear.
Idea: Since it would enter tapped anyway, having it enter exile instead and properly cast it on your next upkeep or next first main phase - suspend/rebound style.
Depends on what your goal with gravecrawler is.
