The Core Re-edition?

So it begins: taking the classic cards, the ones few decks would be complete without, and remaking them to fill in the blank spaces where something classic is needed.

My take on the "core re-edition' is not to make exact copies of the cards but rather change them up slightly for flavor and fun. So here are the first ones up. Make sure to comment on them cause everything is subject to revision.

Wrath of God // Damnation

Yes, there's a slight trade off. Functionally it's just like mashing together Wrath and Damnation into a single card, but turning into a creature can really mess with things beyond what I can imagine.

Shock

This one I'm still reconsidering. The other idea is to merge Shock with Flare by giving the card Buyback for 1 mana (instead of Flashback). Comment on what you think this one should be.

Incinerate // Lash Out

What I wanted to do with this one was take the classic Incinerate with the new Lash Out and make something in between. The usefulness of this card only fades when your opponent doesn't control any creatures, otherwise, it's a nice edition. Comment on it.

And last one for today

It received several tweaks, like a change in mana cost as well as the addition of an ability.


Alright, so comment on these cards, whatever you think is good or needs to be changed. Also, suggest a few more cards that should be redone for this set.

Suggestions Needed

Allow me to explain one of the house rules Honsou and I agreed on for when we start putting these cards into play: "All decks in a game using cards from the anime set should only use cards from the anime set."
This was to avoid having some crazy combo happen that could make certain cards broken or others useless.

We also agreed that we would have to reedit lots of staple cards (like Shock) to fill in some needed spots and balance the set.

So, we're asking for your input: What 10th Edition cards do you think are a must to include? List them off in the comments and we'll make sure to put them into a tribeless subset fitting into the anime theme and we might tweak a few for flavor.

3 more prototypes

So, considering on the possible martial or fighting set, I through together a couple of prototypes. Remember, these are just prototypes.

Yes, that last one is a White/Black hybrid. Don't know exactly where it would go, but it's an interesting concept.

Reds for thought

While looking at the many cards I already have next to finalized in the Magical set, a few red ones stood out to me. These I find could be particularly useful in other sets that include red.
The images obviously suggest where it is they are meant to be played, but there's no rule that says you can't mix things up a little.

Now, with that out of the way. I'd like to introduce something a little strange, but not completely unheard of. I present you the first of the set's enchantment creatures.

But in the mean time i do have something special to show you guys, its another tribe i've been thinking about. Well here it is

Prototypes while we wait

Yeah, it's PrimeSonic, and I'm also getting a little impatient waiting for the third tribe. These cards will most likely go through some minor rewrites as they could already quite fit well into the tribe to come. Here's 5 cards from my design.

This really isn't my strong suit but it could be considered my small contribution.

Gundam

So lets get to the base of the mecha set Gundam (Only UC mobile suits, everything else is pretty fail...except maybe G) but anyway lets start! Original mobile suit gundam was in my first post so lets get to zeta and double zeta

Now for some other Zeon/Titan mecha

Now for some character cards

Yes as you saw with some magical girl cards there will be some gender interaction, but in mecha this will be the only card that plays around with this idea.

Now for some sorcery and instant cards

and finally

There will be some reprints in this set, when the flavor is set up perfectly for such a idea. Such as this card. (note name the original card and you get a cookie)

Well thats it for now. see you all soon.
