CW: Secrets of Strixhaven Spoilers
Alright, who created Emeritus of Truce? Back to the drawing board, that is too damn wordy.

CW: About Secrets of Strixhaven Spoilers, not showing a SoS card. Custom magic design.
An important part of this is not me going 'Wizards looked at my ideas,' but rather 'I was able to see an obvious game template and acted on it,' which at this point means that there are four things I designed as a custom magic creator that are *now actually real cards*. Even one *actual card*.
I'm good at this is what I'm saying.

CW: About Secrets of Strixhaven Spoilers, not showing a SoS card. Custom magic design.
With the announcement of Prepared, with the right side of a card representing a thing you can do 'after' the card is on the battlefield, I'd like to present this design of mine from late 2023:

Customs Depot, E5 – Avoiding Everythingamajigs

Between Omens, Bestow, and MDFCs, it seems that there's tools enough to make an all-creature set like Legions at current standard power level and scale. #magicthegathering #custommagic

When I was doing daily #CustomMagic posts on Reddit and everywhere else (until Reddit and Twitter both became hostile to my presence), I would keep a file on hand of 'working' for the year. Any ideas I had for individual cards I'd put there and then implement them into the next year's set of 365 cards.
I did stop that when last year, I decided to give up on contributing to those communities, so I wound up with a much smaller file.
Might as well share it, right?

Dev Pile: Customs Depot, Ep 2
This is a weird kind of overlap. I needed a Dev Pile spot for this week that doesn’t relate to stuff happening at the uni (because meetings), and I wanted a place to do a video explaining some custom magic solutions to the Wizards of the Coast set Through the Omenpaths. This is what you get. I know it might not be exactly what you’re after for a Dev Pile article. Script below the fold!
Oh, and the ♣s are when the script is telling me to advance the images.

The World of Harrowed Night
Malvad is the setting for my custom Magic: the Gathering set, Harrowed Night. It’s a name chosen as a joke, but which I’m now fond of, because it’s a stupid name. Just as a heads up, though, this article is not going to feature any custom magic cards, and you don’t need to understand the rules of Magic: The Gathering to understand the setting. This article aims to explain commonalities through the factions and their interests, which will mean understanding some of the colour wheel of Magic: the Gathering, but I promise to summarise it.
This is a treatment of a city in a setting.
Content Warning: Made in September 2024, Harrowed Night wanted to capture the idea of criminal gangs in a magi-tech setting opposing a fascist dictatorship that wanted to control people’s ways of worship, living, self-identifying and loving, annd even the very ways history was remembered to hide the encroaching climate catastrophe swallowing the city.
Again, this was September 2024.
This might be a bummer!

MTG: Introducing Harrowed Night
Know where you stand or you’ll find where you fall.
The world is broken. The city is collapsing. The weather of the north storms hammer at the city’s walls, while the seas creeping in the dilapidated ruins of the south side start to boil. New monsters break through the decaying infrastructure, and the people in charge of the world are incompetent to fix things or don’t even care.
The only thing that will save us is us, and the time to start is now.
Let the blood rise, in this Harrowed Night.

MTG: 2024 In Review as a Custom Magic Maker
2024 saw a truly staggering amount of Magic Product released across multiple formats and platforms. Did you know they put out an official Magic: The Gathering Oracle deck, which is like a Tarot deck but it’s a different kind of cultural practice that isn’t magic, but in this case is actually Magic and in the purest sense of things is probably actually fine because it’s just a tarot-like deck made using some of the greatest living commercial fantasy artists? I didn’t, until I started making this list.
Look, I make my own custom magic cards. The task of making the cards is a thing I do, because I find it fun, and that means I consider Magic products in terms not just of their game pieces, things to partake in, but every new release is basically a dump of parts that I can then repurpose and they become part of the toolkit and toybox. What makes 2024 a little different is… well it’s not even a little different.
It’s just there’s so much stuff to check.
Hey, Wizards of the Coast Staff: Don’t worry about this one, I’m not showing any custom designs, just talking about hypothetical design space here.

I made a #MagicTheGathering mockup card for my friend Draco and here's the result! We did a secret santa this year and I just KNEW what I wanted to make for him. I also commissioned the physical print with the right size and back of the card. It looked nice :)

Vox Maxima Story Spotlight 2 — College Days
What follows here is a discussion of what, if I had the means and writer tools to make my Custom Magic set have proper story spotlight material, it’d look like this, it’d be built out of this. This is basically about story mechanics underlying a game system, and I want to present it to you so you can have a handle on what it looks like when I’m […]

MTG: The New Mechanics of 2023
2023 saw a lot of new Magic product, and of it, a lot of it I disliked. Since I don’t like the Phyrexians as a villain type, and I don’t like the implementation of D&D in Magic: The Gathering and I don’t like Urza, and I don’t like Lord of the Rings and I don’t like Dr Who, that meant that the release of Wilds of Eldraine marked a point where I finally had […]

MTG: Introducing — Vox Maxima
It is 917. You are anxious about the news. You knew things were going to go badly, but you didn’t know they’d be this bad. You run through the streets of the city, trying to get the feelings out of your heart, feeling your fingertips numb, the swell in your throat and the agony of knowing, of knowing this.
The world is going to end. Sometime in […]

Something that I think would be cool in #MagicTheGathering is a planeswalker character who's whole thing is copying other planeswalkers. Basically a Planeswalker clone.
I present two takes on such a character, one intended to be early in her journey, the other at the height of her ability.
