Hi guys LSW here finally feel comfortable with releasing my second addition to the Mazarkov Block. Now Introducing Forbidden Rites, the lore behind this set is The war for Mazarkov is in full swing, Sol-Blessed and Mooncaller fighting for supremacy of Mazarkov leaving the war in stalemate until the arrival of the Skyborn siding with the Mooncaller, who wins is anyone's guess. Introduces a new Mechanic: Fate. Please as usual feel free to comment on what u like and dislike, what u feel should be changed and whether or not things are OP, please note "Planeswalkers you see in this block will NOT be changing". I look forward to many a comment. Please use all links listed as new, this makes life easier for all viewers, thank you.

just WOW! If the first set was good this set is epic. You have really out done yourself LSW. Love amplify and the way it creates good combos. Similarly love the throwbacks to loveable old mechanics such as buyback. galcimaedes is a great planeswalker and isn't by any chance originally from theros in the lore is he. Don't think you worded Fate as well as you liked it seems a bit cryptic as to what it expects everyone to do but thats just grasping at straws for a flaw. to be honest this set has some of the best cards i've seen on this site since I joined other than that the only problem I have is the lack of mechanic cohesion in that some old mechanics are ony referenced in one or two cards and there would be no point in putting them there without bigger synergy but for all I Know your still working on the third set in the block (said with crossed fingers) as you have great talent. To be honest I'm surprised wizards hasn't offered you, aztegio, sertar and a few others R&D jobs already. Really really really good job on this congrats!!

well i do intend on working with the final set in Mazarkov. Don't you worry about that. Just trying to tye in the old mechanics is a bit of a challenge and I enjoyed making the cards for set 2. Dont know how well set 3 will turn out but sets 1 and 2 r still in development. Did u y any chance take a hard look at the "Ritual" spells. Remind you of anyone we know and love to hate "same with Fred (aka Progenitus)"? What is you favorite card(s) from this set? and yes to answer your question regarding Galcimaedes he is based off a Theros Plansewalker "Ajani, Mentor to Heroes". though greatly differing. I have been thinking more on the synergy factor and will be attempting to implement several new cards using the older mechanics. If you have any ideas please dont hesitate to share them through a PM i would love to implement them within Mazarkov as a whole.

 

- thanks for the support my friends and colleagues

My favourite cards are caladran hunter, dance of the flamesword and condrall hydra, still don't understand how fate works, unholy rites is poorly worded what do you just look at a card in your library and take damage or do you do something with the card you find. Annihilation ritual could lose the damage clause. 

[Sertar]

I just dont understand why terikanos have blue ssince none of is effect have blue related thing its all pure white (not racist)

[LordStormWinter]

well Sertar you have to understand why I chose to make him U and W. Mooncaller, a faction i Created in the first set of this block is a U/W faction. Therikanos is U/W because he is their General.

new link posted with revisions and a few new cards. feel free to comment.

[chaoscal]

Phaedra's guard = permanent flying loss.  now understand fate. Lyrewood angle is madly undercosted try 2G(G/W). love fate engine. Good job as always, my other qualms have now been satiated 

[LordStormWinter]

changed a few more things, minor things. also did you recognize the play on words with the B/G land?

[LordStormWinter]

The new link is posted and man is the set getting good. I require comments and feedback before i can continue. Please don't hesitate to comment your concerns and where you think things should be reworded, what doesnt make sense and where you feel the set could go from here. 

 

Thank you all

shouldn't Icevale dragon should be called rathalos, legendary lands need to be may instead of in addition and caladran gorgon should have its ability costs flipped otherwise good job LSW

[LordStormWinter]

thanks

[LordStormWinter]

changed em.... xD

[LordStormWinter]

you like the Caladran Additions?

[chaoscal]

so far caladran is my favourite part of the set and im ot normally a red-green face smash lover but the set is amazing non the less keep this momentum going.

[LordStormWinter]

oh i will dont you worry about that. I find that amplify makes thinks super OP in this set dont you?

[chaoscal]

Its a great mechanic nothing is ever to strong but has the potential to be really big. without hand size increasers though it can only go up to about +7 without lots of card draw in your deck which limit its power late game but great for the rush deck I love it. you know how to make a good mechanic fit. Caladran FTW.

[LordStormWinter]
