Recent updates to Multiverse Design Challenge: (Generated at 2025-12-13 02:35:25)
For Challenge # 158. Broken with Clock of Omens? Maybe. But that was the best I could come up with. Thought about making this
so that the reward might be worth the setup... but I don't think any Johnny who picks this card up cares if the card is effecient...
Also, everyone should read Peter Pan. It really is a great book, and a relatively quick read. Pinocchio is also a lot of fun (and rather different from the Disney version. The puppet kills Jiminy Cricket almost immediately in the book because his conscience makes him feel guilty.)
Alice is good, but I figure it's going to appeal to certain people and those are the people that will pick it up and read it, so it needs no further help. The Wizard of Oz is alright. You get most of it out of the classic movie, though, so the book can be skipped over in my opinion. Haven't gotten around to reading any of the other Oz books, though... been meaning to.
Oh, yes, Victorian. My mind sometimes swaps the two. This is a lot of things, but it is most certainly not Shakespeare.
A twisting text to match the twisting passage sounds good to me. Funny how this is similar to Death Match, but different enough to be its own thing.
I've been trying to figure out what I'll end up doing when I finally make this card. I want it to sound like nonsense, but still be a real functioning card. One option included making two new keyword mechanics that are nonsense words, then defining them with reminder text. Is Steamflogger Boss a one time thing? Or can cards reference words that don't exist for the purpose of having a strange flavor? Hmm.
Lose 5 life sounds good to me. It's going to crush your opponent fast, but it still gives them a chance to recover. You could be more jurisprudent and go to 4 life, but once you move the needle to 3, I think it's fair to ask "Why not use Caustic Tar."
Oh, hm, oops. This was supposed to steadily eat away at the opponent's hand and threaten them with loss if they overextended, but all at once it's way too much. Need something that feels as vicious but isn't as actually as vicious.
I chose three of the numbers at random to start with. Unfortunately I'm not overly familiar with the genre, having only read the Alice stories and a vague memory of Pinocchio as it was distilled in Kingdom Hearts. Also, did you mean Victorian instead of Elizabethan?
Whirlt of Hurk Nursery Sudden Heart
For UEOT at the beginning.
See Challenge # 158.
See Challenge # 158.
Not very creative, but the first thing that sprang to mind for the flavor text.
See Challenge # 158.
I wasn't sure what to make of a bunch of non-sense words. Convultious seemed like convolution, which made me think of Mind Twist. Crucious made me think of the Cruciatus Curse from Harry Potter, which made me look up the etymology on the wiki and told me the etymology had to do with torture. I thought a -/- was a good way to represent torture. Yeagles as eagles, so creatures to be the trigger. I had no idea what to make of either ors or alard. The name is World of Hurt with the words changed under the influence of the flavor text.
Um. Yow. The Rack was good, but this. Wow. "Opponents can no longer play lands or cast spells, and if you have any discard effects; you just flat win."
See Challenge # 158.
Yes. Or rather, part of the resolution. I guess that should have been "You may sacrifice... If you do..." ?
Is sacrificing the bird supposed to be an optional additional cost?
See Challenge # 158.
It's easy to focus too much on the "fate" aspect of this description :)
Petulant Demand
Unwieldy Arrow
Inevitable End
Huh, you're right. I'm not sure why Polymorphist's Jest doesn't need to be more expensive. Maybe this should be 1U. Maybe it should really still be one-sided like PJ, but the flavour fits the symmetric version a little better.
Based on Godhead of Awe this seems reasonable. Actually there was also Polymorphist's Jest, which was one-sided, suggesting this could be a little cheaper.
See Challenge # 158.
A cheaper swerve that can only steal effects, not jink removal. I almost wanted to put it on a creature but decided that was too fiddly.
Kithkin seems to fit. I hadn't thought about making a coherent plane for all my cards, just designing cards that seemed to fit the general tone of the quotes.
I like the direct equipment->destruction idea. But I'm worried that a desk that wants to play lots of equipment will tend to have a lot of small creatures and find a wrath counter-productive. I wonder if this could have a more straightforward bonus for two swords (eg double strike, or N damage to target creature on attack or similar)?
Oh yes, that makes sense.
It might be a bridge too far to soulbond with a creatuee on the other side of the battlefield, but you could have a creature that has the same effect. The pacifism-creature is harder to track than the journey-to-nowhere-creature, but that might be unavoidable.
Although I'm not sure if the creature version should be cheaper than an aura or not; it's vulnerable to creature removal, but you get a creature.
In retrospect, maybe this could have been a soulbound creature that Arrests creatures it binds to? Would match Soulbound in set mechanic that Jack alluded to.
Added Robin-Go-Right #2 and Saddled With Responsibility.
For Challenge # 158, flavor separated from Robin-Go-Right #2. Originally, I had Robin-Go-Right's flavor text on this card, but this card has too many words on it. I'm sure the artwork would help tie this all together.
Minor Human. Snicker.
This card is also the reason why Robin's ability acitvates at sorcery speed. I didn't want him to react to being saddled with responsibility by wiping the board. Besides, Wrathing at sorcery speed is probably fair.
For Challenge # 158. Working with Robin-Go-Right's flavor text. There seemed to be too much in that one flavor text to be represented on one card, so I split it up between Saddled With Responsibility and this one.
Not sure about Kithkin. When I first made this challenge, I thought to myself "This world should have munchkins." Then I realized Kithkin kind of fit that role. I know a previous flavor text said that the plane only held children... but maybe Aggie and Augur only count humans as being either adult or children? If Aggie and Augur are children themselves, and they saw a kithkin warrior, would they say to themselves 'Doesn't count."
