For whatever it is worth I'm taking the restrictions serious for this set, but am mentally capable of separating this set from other custom sets and from official sets.
The intent to me never never appeared to be the creation of a set as it would mirror the design rules we will see in a contemporary official release, but merely to follow the design rules laid out in the fiction of the cited article.
I can tell you that the perspective shift after just spending fifteen minutes a day trying to follow NNWO and then returning to another project and enjoying the lack of restrictions has been a worthwhile experience for me.
Well, I mean, is any custom card design really 'serious'? How is that defined?
I was thinking of this set as an interesting experiment; something that might be learned from. The premise has believability after all. It also sets harsh restrictions that could be interesting to try to meet. A 'hard mode' if you will.
if that's relevant, why was that never mentioned? yet you act like the design of this set is serious.
yeah
... including those your opponents' control?
Increased power toughness by 1
... you do realize that the article was posted as an April Fools' joke, right?
That article was written in 2013. Now five years later, how much of it has been followed through? Spoiler: very little.
Tokens are redflagged? There are 47 commons that make tokens. That's average of 8 per set.
20% of commons are vanilla creatures? There are 37 vanilla commons, or about 10% of all commons creatures in standard, or 5% of all commons. The pattern is: for big sets, 1 vanilla for each of the five colors, plus optionally 1 more for white or artifact; so big sets get around 6, and small sets half of that = 3.
(Note: Current Standard has no vanillas above common rarity.)
Square stats by default? Only half the common creatures are square. This extends to vanillas, too: less than 1/3 of them are square.
Oops, forgot that one... Red Flag
This seems pretty red-flagged. Odd timing of effects, targeting...
card slot: CU14 >> CU11
REPRINT: Sea Monster
Other options are Scrapdiver Serprent &Silburlind Snapper.
REPRINT: Stealer of Secrets
REPRINT: Augury Owl
Interesting. I feel these stats invite a Rolling Stones lord at some point.
Did you notice CW10 Giant Conscript?
I like to know why not use Luminous Bonds instead. Why allow blocking at that high a cost? It's just Guard Duty.
added: "enchant creature"
Please, leave notes as to what you change about the card. More specifically: It would be appreciated if at all times it is apparent what the card was like before the edit.
IMO Red flags in moderation are okay. The card in its current form in the same set as Centaur Grovetender seems like this card is underselling green's creatures.
If I really wanted to I could have put Centaur Courser in the skeleton long ago - and this card now begs to be replaced by it. I'd rather return it to its former state.
