Made the Tales of Berseria break souls into cards







#custom cards#custom magic card#ka asks#i'm most satisfied with Divide Pain#halving damage taken translates super well#it's supposed to heal the party but +1/+1 counters work too i guess#and it works great at both sorcery speed and instant speed#Spell Absorber is also a pretty direct translation but for it to counter spells it needs to always be instants speed :(#made the alt because it works at both instant and sorcery speed but it really wants to counter spells like it does in-game#Aerial Strike is weird. in-game it's just a combo tool and that's not a thing in mtg#there's also the color issue. it really SHOULD be a green combat trick that gives reach#but eleanor is very white-aligned#so i gave it flying even though that's not what it does. and it exiles a creature because you fling them way into the air lol#the other 3 i'm okay with. not direct translations but good enough#Vengeful Punishment should really be “Destroy target tapped creature” or “destroy target creature that dealt damage this turn”#but that's white and rokurou is very much not white so i compromised#anyway i'm satisfied with the Break Soul mechanic in general#a powerful effect you can unleash at any time for cheap but it expends a resource and reduces your future options#just like how it works in-game#and it's just neat in mtg. a classic trade-off of cheap immediate usefulness or expensive value but the timing aspect is unique#“kicker: cast at instant speed” is a pretty obvious mechanic. i wonder why they haven't done it yet#maybe there's not enough design space for effects that work at both sorcery speed and instant speed#but it works great for buff spells and removal and flash creatures so idk
