You're more amazing than raffles
Hey, the story idea that I may or may not write soon has a raffle in it!
Anyway, red commons!
And also a little bonus! I realized I've never made a bestow Elian, so I made one, and then ended up giving it heroic, and THEN ended up giving it keyword counters, so now it's part of the set. At rare, not common, I just forgot to set the rarity icon lol
#asks#custom cards#i must stress the “ended up” part because i never intended to put all the set mechanics on the elian#the only intentional one was bestow and then i was like “but what should the ability be?”#and the theme with elian is targeting your creatures but it needed to be an aura#and heroic is a neat way to reward you for targeting your creature that works on both an aura and a creature!#but what should the heroic effect do? well putting counters on the creature would work but just +1 counters would be boring so keywords too#and then boom. suddenly i found myself with an elian that has 3 of the set's mechanics on it#anyway the vigilance counter is kinda the worst one but it feels right to have it there#just having +1 and flying would be boring and this way i get to have both the white/blue keywords#besides it's probably not completely useless. just mostly useless#also i made the bestow hybrid because custom card designers as a species are inherently addicted to making our cool cards hybrid#also also temp name as usual#also also also i was worried about bloating the type line but calix and shigeki have equally bloated type lines so it's fine#ALSO i finished ALL THE COMMONS!#but now it's super slow going on the uncommons lol#i'm also preparing for an irl draft event tomorrow so yeah. slowing down for a bit#i ALSO have another story idea (mentioned above) so. i have a lot of Stuff. it's nice#ALSO! Gadget Grappler went on a Trip#it started as a 2-drop that got +2/+0 and now it's a 4-drop that gets menace#fucking ship of theseus card design
