Finally got around to making some rares for my modified-themed custom MTG set!

Also reworked a common (Eelskin Veil was originally just a reprint of Shore Up) and added flavor text to Forge Spirit and Temple Spirit. If you're wondering about the names of the legendaries, I used a random name generator because I don't like making up proper nouns. That also gave me the name "Jojo" for the enchantment faction's god, so that alone makes it the objectively correct decision.

#original #custom cards #custom magic card #super satisfied with these! just doing some fun stuff that doesn't really fit at uncommon #Withering Skulker and Provoking Trainer force some required reading with cameo keywords so they definitely shouldn't appear frequently #the Punishers are an idea i had WAY back though i didn't remember my original ideas for their secondary abilities #some random legendaries i made up on the spot. could use them for flavor text if i get around to that #they mainly focus on just Doing Things with each color's main theme #except Issy. Issy's a valiant-enabler because black doesn't really have an overarching theme but valiant kinda sorta works #mainly i just had the idea for “any number of target creatures get -1/-0” and was like “oooh yeah that's going on a card”#might move it to a different black rare and make Issy into a valiant payoff instead idk #black's theme is less mechanical and more flavor-wise “power is power. the source doesn't matter”#same with blue really. thus the modified payoff #then green is doing like. body modification or something idk. and a mirrored pair of spirits #Finley and Ricki were inevitable. The Forge and The Temple were always the major conflict of the setting. they needed leaders #though i made the legendary spirits first as artifact/enchantment payoffs so now i was like “shit what do i do with these two?”#figured it out! the spirits have cost reduction and triggers related to artifact/enchantments #while the faction leaders help you cast artifacts/enchantments and also power up artificers/clerics! 'cause they're leaders!#then the 3-colors. originally the Temple God was a creature but now i'm making it more vague if the god really exists #or if his influence is just a manifestation of the people's faith #because the whole thing with spirits is that they're born from people's emotions and stuff. so Jojo might just be a version of that #but no one knows! besides if Jojo is just a really powerful spirit then that's basically a god. but not a natural one #maybe the real Jojo is the plane's magic that turns people's feelings into spirits #anyway! happy with all this! happy to be making magic cards again! woohoo!
