This is my first post, and it is pertaining to cards I spent a ridiculous amount of time making. If you have any advice, please speak up. I am planning on printing these, so I don't want to have any problems with their content.

NOTE: None of the image portraits belong to me.

ok my friend, I see several things with these cards:

1) most creatures P/T are too high for their current CMC, 2 ways to rectify this: 1) lower the P/T to match the CMC: IE (CMC 1-3 = 1/1-2/4; 2-5 = 2/3-4/6; 6+ = 5/5+ but no more that 10/10 unless you build a creature similar to the trons (the Eldrazi Legendaries) or Raise the CMC to match the P/T

2) there is no META between the cards that I can see. 

 

I would urge to to look at Mazarkov Block (my custom sets 1 and 2 right now until I get 3 out) and my Tribal post to look and see what I meant by no META, as these have Meta to them (my sets). Also I would turn you to a much better generator than this sites: MSE (magic set editor): Link: http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/

 

MSE allows you to create much cleaner cards.

the CMC to P/T conversions are rough estimates as they are fluid.

I happen to use PhotoBucket and DropBox (both of which are free and allow for a combined 2GB upload instead of 2MB which this site has)

 

just some pointers from an Old Great to an Up and Coming Great.

This is some highly useful advice, thank you for that. I'll get straight back to work with this other editor you have turned me towards. The program looks extremely helpful, and these conversions will assist with my meta-following in the future. This is exactly what I wanted to hear, thank you.

[LordStormWinter]

NP, i hope i can help you, would u like me to take a look at your future creations to help you understand meta, p/t ~= cmc and giving you advice in future creation?

all i can say is wow you must have played yugioh before this because as LSW said your cmc is all over the place though i do like some of the effects.

[LordStormWinter]

CMC to P/T ratios are the key to making good to excellent cards that are balanced.

i have never played yugioh.

[ginirokitsune]

yell i tell you they have the same power and cost issue though at least this can be saved.(yugiho = )
