As some of you may know, and probably more of you may not, I've been working on a custom Magic set for the past 18+ months. The original plan for the set was to make a for-fun Magic set using Mega Man 2 art and concepts. As time went on, though, I became more interested in what actually goes into crafting a full-size Magic set: the types of cards that are in every set, the distribution of rarities, colors, artifacts, and card types throughout the set became something my friends and I talked about at length. Many times I spent over an hour on one card, trying to get the name or art or effect right, only to scrap it and start anew when I came back to it a week later. It was at times informative, frustrating, and depressing.
And I loved it.
Make no mistake, I'm hooked on making Magic cards. I'm hooked on flavor text and color identities and what's "allowed" on various rarities of cards. I'm just hooked. And while I don't anticipate ever being able to manifest this newfound passion into something that, you know, makes money, I do hope to share it with those of you who find it interesting, and build my new hobby from there.
In the coming weeks (hopefully I'll be done in weeks, and not months), I'm going to "spoil" the set, just as real Magic sets get spoiled. I'll share a couple of premium cards, then more and more over time until the whole set is completely available to view online. Throughout the process I'll welcome your input and feedback, though I won't be changing any of these cards (other than to fix broken wordings). Even if the balance isn't right, or a card is well and truly busted, this is the set I'm finished with. I'll take any lessons and apply them to whatever next set I decide to make. This one is done.
Look for my first "spoiler" post Friday morning.
My name is Karina, I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
