Thanks, Fluffy, for the comments! Did a bit of shuffling around and fixing some of the more egregious issues you mentioned. Some I kept like before, like Max's abilities. I dunno, gut instinct on that one.
For some of the quick ones:
Excellent Designs: I do not remember making this card, I feel like someone else designed it for me but I don't know who. Or I made it in a fugue state just to sass other designers. (Sorry~)
Declarations: Almost all declarations involve you doing things that the game wouldn't normally be able to care about. Like touching specific cards. Some do care about actual normal game things, but most don't.
beleaguered bureaucrat: The card was written in a kind of confusing way, so I fixed it. Basically you make a declaration about something that you are not going to do physically in the real world. Like "I declare I shall not touch my nose. I declare I shall not stand up." ETC. You can do easier ones at first, but eventually you'll slip up. It's a card meant to be an enabler for cards that care about you wanting lots of declarations, of which there are a few. But it's a weaker rare on purpose.
No fun allowed: It's supposed to be if they flip/roll five dice. I worded it differently to make it easier to tell.
The House: Gave it rules text on card to explain: All coin flips and dice rolls are your coin flips and dice rolls. (Things that care about you flipping/rolling dice trigger for you, not opponents. If an opponent uses a card or effect that wants them to flip a coin, they physically cannot, and it comes up as a loss.)
Anyways, glad you enjoyed the set!!!

yeah but then most of the declaration stuff is stuff you can express with triggers/statics anyway, even if it's on otherwise un cards
rest of this is valide tho

My personal faves: Bar Fight!, were it printed in black border, would be the coolest Damnation variant I'd ever seen. (It's distinctly weaker since you actually need to have a board presence to use it, of course, but that's fine by me.) Boistrous Strongman (sic) is an effect that, goofy rules-text aside, could easily be in regular Magic. But it's a cool effect that I've never actually seen before on a Magic card, and probably never will now that protection is going the way of landwalk. Debt Relief Angel is an extremely cool card, if you ask me. Excellent Designs is a truly savage in-joke. I can't believe Liz singlehandedly killed Huw. Most Threatening Wall and Rolling Bones were clearly designed to be played together. But I appreciate the shout-out to Rolling Stones, one of those Magic cards that'd never be printed today for all sorts of reasons. Oh, and the premise is funny too. Novice Debutant (which is a funny name - aren't debutants by definition novices?) is neat in that you actually want to turn down the ETB trigger sometimes! Pixelate's art is legitimately hilarious. Pushy Math Teacher is an odd card - what opponent wouldn't want an anthem effect for their side, especially one that lets you kill your opponent's six-drop by saying "my Grizzly Bears is a two-drop" ? But the actual effect is really neat. ~~ You'll notice that this is skewed towards the first half of the set on account of me not really caring about most of the mechanical themes here. But a lot of the cards here made me laugh! So that's good. |
