.Rai Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 There is of course a game to play, in which most of these cards contain references to their designer. One only has to look at Aggressive Mining, from Minecraft's Notch, to notice that. There are plenty more in there for the observant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 The card that immediately made me say "holy shit I want this" is Yisan. Yeva, you're being replaced. BirthingPod.general sounds like too much fun to pass up.And Ob's coming back, too. Punisher never looked so much fun in Commander. >:3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Made by the writer of the game, The Bard's Tale, of course.Ob Nixilis though, now there's an EDH general that's gonna piss people off to no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Ob seems super good in EDH. Can also see him in standard if the format ends up with a fair bit of searching. Chasm Skulker also seems really good. Kaboomist is cute. Spirit Bonds seems really good with Convoke. Also, as one of the few cards I was hoping to get the reference for, I sadly do not. Yisan also seems really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Maralen of the Mornsong EDH with Ob Nixilis because YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Genisis hydra is pretty sweet. Ob nixils is just dirty in EDH or a reanimator deck. Chasm skulker is a pretty sweet card that's definitely standard playable Yisan is neat but I'd just play momor vig over him The sphinx is also pretty cool but is EDH fodder at best. Avarice amulet is pretty terrible, the sheild is neat for a white weenie deck and hot soup is pretty cute. Mining is interesting but pretty much a junk rare and waste not is the card everyone is questioning if its terrible or eternal playable. Also, the "designed by" flavor text is really ugly, I get that they want to give credit to the card designer but putting it in the flavor text box kind of ruins the flavor of the card, they should of put it in the collector info box.

MARO has said that they couldn't fit it in the collector info box. I don't mind that its in the flavor text box since it calls out that these are different from normal cards. I can understand people having a problem with it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 My choice would have been putting their signatures in as a watermark. Although signatures are basically unreadable as they are anyway, they would have been a more subtle callout and people could find out the names if they wanted.

However, the text line doesn't bother me as much as it did before - the font is different enough and in a small enough size that it's not too intrusive.

As you said, they would basically be unreadable as signatures so that kind of defeats the point. Also, read Maro's blog. Lots of good stuff there. Also, it just hit me that Zedruu would really like Mining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad by any means, but not super good or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
