SET FILE(Uses M15 Altered, M15 Extra, M15 Maps, M15 TTK Style, Mainframe Walkers)Remember the ArcaneBanner art by Lorenzo MastroianniSet Name: Memorium Arcanum Three Letter Abbreviation: MAC Number of Cards: 85 Design & Development Team: HerziQuerzi {Archive Rulings}XXX. Archive XXX.1 - Archives are a nonpermanent card type. XXX.2 - A player who has priority may cast an archive card from his or her hand during a main phase of his or her turn when the stack is empty. Casting an archive as a spell uses the stack. (See rule 601, “Casting Spells.”) XXX.3 - When an archive spell resolves, its controller puts it into his or her library zone under his or her control. XXX.4 - If a player would draw a card while they own multiple libraries, and the draw effect doesn't specify a library, that player chooses which library they own to draw from. XXX.4b - If a player would draw multiple cards at once, each card draw is chosen seperately. XXX.5 - If an effect would refer to a player's undefined library, and that player owns multiple libraries, that effect's controller chooses any library the effected player owns to apply the effect to upon resolution. XXX.5b - For continuous effects that refer to a player's undefined library, the effect's controller chooses a library the effected player owns when the effect is created, and the effect will affect that library for its duration. XXX.6 - If a card would be put into an archive library, that card is put in face up.

Jesus that power level. Lol
(I'm not actually worried about the Forceful Tutor variant-- it's the Vendilion Clique that brings along a buddy or a Quicken that scares me shitless)

I like Conjure. Don't know why we haven't seen WotC do this officially but I feel like we probably will soon. The cards themselves are fine - the Ranger might be a bit powerful because 2 CMC gets you quite a bit, so I'd keep my eye on it. Otherwise good stuff.

Hard, hard pass on Unbound Horizons. But Crystal Wave looks lit-- shades of Crosis's Charm but way cooler.

Hard, hard pass on Unbound Horizons. what don't you like about Unbound Horizons? Not in an accusatory "but it's a perfect card!" kinda way, just want to know what aspect (or aspects) turn you off. also if your opinion is improved or worsened when i highlight its interaction with abound

Not in an accusatory "but it's a perfect card!" kinda way, just want to know what aspect (or aspects) turn you off. also if your opinion is improved or worsened when i highlight its interaction with aboundEscalate is cool because it lets you squeeze additional utility out of your modal spells. Crystal Wave is seven cards in one, basically, but it looks like upside. This isn't a modal spell, it's kicker or an X spell in drag. I had a similar problem with Dawn of Yakizma's escalate card where all the modes were "tap target creature." On top of that, it's a card where the "additional cost" is actually the functional element of the spell-- sort of like Braid of Fire and the similarly quirky cumulative upkeep designs that completely missed the point of cumulative upkeep (abject misery), except even worse because escalate doesn't need quirky reimaginings to be good.

And here I was expecting a cycle of Bog Hoodlums... Here's a question: how does the lack of rarities in this set affect your design process? Because I look at Recalculation and think "this could be common," and wonder the extent to which NWO et al are relevant when designing a set exclusively for constructed

I dont really consider NWO when designing for constructed, and basically just make what I want as long as it fits the set. However, I like making simple and (hopefully) elegant cards, which is how you end up with NWO common-viable stuff like Recalculation.

This is a really sweet cycle. I like color hosers but I hate how obvious they tend to be and these are actual maindeckable cards, which is pretty cool. I don't love Once Abandoned because I don't think of blue and black as being particularly heavy colors for noncreature, nonland permanents - this feels more like an effect that a white hoser would get (though I know you can't put this effect on either of white's enemy's cards).

Yeah, Once Abandoned is the meh-est of the bunch. But green doesnt have many non-niche effects that target an opponent's thing, and I didn't want to do fight.

Possibly significantly up the price, but have it cost the same for blue/black permanents-- then remove "nonland" ? So it's a Bramblecrush. Alternately, spell out artifact/enchantment/planeswalker, in the vein of Nissa's Defeat, which lets you hit artifact creatures (very much a U hate thing)

Would "non-Felice" be a good rider on the +2, to avoid Colfenor's Plans type feel-bad moments?

Since the +2 only affects spellcasting during its duration, Felice herself wouldn't count against the one spell limit anyway since she was cast before hand.
Which does bring up a secondary thing, where I've been debating whether it should be its current "your next turn" or change to "the end of your next turn". The first means it's really easy for you to play around at sorcery speed, while the second creates potential overlap awkwardness. A "Activate this ability only if you haven't cast a non-Felice spell this turn." rider is another potential but also heavy handed fix.

"Until end of turn, whenever a player casts a spell, if it's not the first spell they've cast this turn, counter it." Temporary Rule of Law is hell to implement. Unless... you granted the ability to Felice herself!?!? Until your next turn, Felice has "Each player can't cast more than one non-Felice spell each turn." For reference, I don't think being able to play around the ult by casting stuff before your first main is a bad thing.

The thing is, it's intentionally not supposed to enable 'spell on my turn spell on your turn' gameplay from your opponent (or to a lesser extent you with some form of fix).

I really don't know how I feel about Starvation being in green? This looks a lot more like a Mardu effect to me if it's going to be three colors at all.

Killing off the weak so that the strong can survive feels way more Jund than Mardu to me.
Edit: you see if we refer to [card]Drop of Honey[/card] as reference-

"why is one of these a shard when the others are all wedges" because i'm a fraud and the wedges are four noncreatures + one creature while the shards are four creatures + one noncreature so either way there was gonna be an odd out for each part

Ye, casting a spell for an alternative cost (which includes nothing) doesnt stop additional costs, both optional and mandatory
