Formal Request Thread

[LexilconCondran]

i just wanted to know if any programmer would accept a request for 13 custom magic 2014 cards
i wanted to make them and add them to magic 2014 to play with
they are weird, a custom butterfly deck i thought up

[Xander9009]

Custom cards can sometimes be a lot more difficult to code than they might seem. That said, I'd be willing to at least have a look. What are the cards?

Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs.

How do i post a url, or link, or image, it just blocks everything
i made 13 cards, and a token card, with MTG card smith. then saved the cards as pngs
but i wanted to transform those into actual functioning cards in the magic 2014 game

Goblin Hero might have upped the post count needed to post URLs. You can post it, just replace the periods with (dot) or something. Since it's not actually spam, you won't get in trouble for it. It's just trying to stop automated bots and stuff.

They've got a few formatting issues, but none of the abilities seem particularly difficult to code. A few questions, though.

1. Rhymythia's Gift: Who is supposed to get the life? Is it the owner or the unwilling controller?
2. I'll need the original images to be able to make the cards look good. If I just crop them from the ones in the rendered cards, they'll end up looking a bit low quality because in-game, they'll be stretched.
3. The butterfly token provided has no color, and none of the cards that make the tokens specify a color. What color(s) should it be? If different ones should make different colors, I'll need to know which ones make which color tokens.

   ^The caster gains 3 life, but target player gains control, a Gift of a creature that has shroud, and has a counter as its main power. 0/1, that power can be played by opponents only

Rhymythia The Wise
Hexproof, Flying, Indestructible, Defender
{g/u}{g/u}, Draw a card and gain 2 life
{g/u}{g/u}, Put a 1/1 Green and Blue Butterfly
token with flying onto the battlefield under
target players control
If Rhymythia The Wise would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Rhymythia
The Wise and put it into its owners hand.

Dance of Rhymythia
Hexproof, Flying, Indestructible
When an enchantment enters the battlefield
under your control, place a 1/1 Green and
Blue Butterfly token onto the battlefield with
Hexproof, Flying, and Defender.
"If you listen, you can hear them singing"

Flight of The Fancy
Put 3 1/1 Green and Blue Butterfly Tokens's
onto the battlefield under target player's
control with Hexproof, Flying, and Lifelink.
If an opponent controls more lands than you,
you may shuffle Flight of the Fancy into your
library, or, If an opponent controls more
creatures than you, you may shuffle Flight of
the Fancy into your hand.
"Their dance is a somber one, lost in the night"

----I changed it from indestructible to Lifelink, nerf.

Messengers Recourse
You may pay 3 life and sacrifice a creature rather
than pay Messengers Recourse's cost. Counter
target spell and exile it instead of putting it into
its owners graveyard. Its owner may put a 1/1
Blue and Black Butterfly token with flying onto
the battlefield under their control.
"They dance upon petals, and rest upon graves"



3 are Green/Blue 1/1 Tokens, and the other is a Black/Blue 1/1 Token.

I think I might have caused some confusion. What I meant was that I'd need the images you used to make the cards. The images from the internet from before they were cropped. If they're not available, I can crop them from the cards, but I'd have to then crop them a bit more to make them the right dimensions, and then they'll look a little less clear in game. Not a problem, really.

And what about Rhymythia's Gift? Who gets the life? (If this was intended to be answered on the website, then sorry, but it doesn't let me view the set. Maybe it's private? I made an account with the same username.)

With Rhymythias Gift, the Caster [you] gets the life, the target gets the butterfly.
The ability lets you cast a counter spell, only if you are the opponent.
so if you are playing against a blue/green deck and give yourself Rhymythias Gift, your opponent can counter you with your own card. or vice versa.

And i guess i cant share the set, just the card, kind of a bummer.


Also, i reuploaded the file with the 14 pictures in it, i put the 14 cards in a folder, and then the 14 images in a folder in that folder.

https(dot)//drive(dot)google(dot)com/open?id=1JCCN0tge6RNcc5-z27kjbXf3Ci3XfVv8 [I added the images into the original file]

Dont know if this helps, but it has all of the cards in 1 search bar

The story behind the set of cards is that Maga Phonox, Dark Queen, is the Ruler of Goldenrod. Lover of the butterflies.
The Rhymythia are blue fire spirit messengers, that carry messages of the dead, back and forth in the afterlife.
Goldenrod is a city of the dead, a place full of the Rhymythia, and its always night, surrounded by flowers, and spirits.
Bluefire, exists there, but the flames are cold, not warm, you can touch them, but they are always cool, cold. like ice fire
Though there are many Rhymythia in Goldenrod, each within their own bubble afterlife, whispers of the memories of the life the soul once had, there are not many actual inhabitants other than Maga, she likes her solace, and quiet peace.
Mostly Goldenrod is full of art, and libraries, books written by the dead, their lives. memories, stories on those pages.
a balance of death and life, a blue - green - black deck.

xD That little expositionary story made me imagine another card

Goldenrod, City of the Dead [Legendary Enchantment]
Creatures with Hexproof Gain +1/+1
{u/b}{u/b}, Sacrifice a creature, return target creature
card in a graveyard to its owners hand. For each
card returned to a players hand, you lose 3 life.
When Goldenrod, City of the Dead becomes
the target of a spell or ability, exile it and put
a token onto the battlefield that is a copy of
Goldenrod, City of the Dead. You gain 3 life.


Lantern's of Goldenrod
Defender
{t} Sacrifice a creature, search your library
for a basic land card, put that card onto the
battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.
"Though their light is warm, the screams of the souls trapped within them are unbearable"

You can share the set with this link (which you can probably safely post at this point with the forum complaining): https://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Tomplexthis/sets/41049

Thank you, i didnt even know that page existed on that site.

-doing the math and stuff for the set, so with 4 moonlights kiss, and Goldenrod, City of the Dead, she becomes a 5/12, and with her on the field thats +6/+6 to all hexproof creatures. +2/+2 to all creatures on the field with hexproof, and +4/+4 to creatures with hexproof you control.
kinda weird, to buff your enemy, most those 1/1 butterflies would be 7/7

the Lanterns of Goldenrod could kill if you use Magas deathtouch/flying buff with Mailodias kiss's +1/+1 to all creatures you control, it'd be a 1/4 with defender/flying/deathtouch.

interesting to look at the synergy, it would suck if an opponent used your Rhymythias gift against you though. counter your artifacts/creatures/enchantments. xD

[40 Cards] 20 land

1x Goldenrod, City of the Dead
1x Maga Phonox, Dark Queen
1x Rhymythia The Wise
4x Rhymythia The Bold
2x Rhymythia's Gift
4x Dance of Rhymythia
2x Messengers Recourse
3x Flight of The Fancy
4x Moon Flowers Herald
4x Moonlights Kiss
3x Blue Moon
3x Mailodia's Kiss
2x Samiria's Grasp
2x Winter's Chill
4x Lantern's of Goldenrod
20x Basic Land
Due to the decks design
or the cards, it could be 20 blue mana
or a mix of blue - green - black.
but all cards can be cast with blue
but a few can be cast with green or black.
This allows them to be versatile in other
mono black/green decks as well as blue.

without green/black mana
it would cost 2 life to play Mailodias Kiss or Samirias Grasp

[Xander9009]

For Goldenrod, City of the Dead, I'm a little confused. The ability only returns one creature card per activation, so it would only cause 3 life to be lost per activation. Is it supposed to be return X cards?

{U/B}{U/B}, Sacrifice a creature: Return target creature card in a graveyard to its owner's hand. You lose 3 life.

or

{U/B}{U/B}, Sacrifice a creature: Return X target creature cards in graveyards to their owners' hands. For each card returned to a player's hand this way, you lose 3 life.

1 activation, 1 card, 1 card and you lose 3 life.

you can use it as much as you like, but you lose 3 life, where as target player gets a creature from their graveyard back, it costs 2 mana, and doesnt tap, so its interesting.
could be X, but basically each use will cost 3 life, a creature, and 2 mana, to return any target creature card in any graveyard, to its owners hand.

Completed. Just bug testing, now.

i've been up all day cause of this, its actually exciting
i've been messing around in 2014 just unlocking cards
i even made some weird demon deck to try and get easy wins
but it backfired, and the deck kicked my butt, like hard....
Demon decks are tough
