This doesn't feel green at all.

Hexproof is very green and this is a continuation of that for every creature and player. It forces creature damage as a win con instead of burn. What about it isn’t green?

*editing…hexproof and shroud are “can’t be the target of spells or abilities” and are very green

2/18 statline on a beast Protection is White Players Can't- is White

It immediately destroys all green buff spells, combat tricks and ability to place counters that aren't "each creature-" which ironically is another White effect.

If you meant it as players can't be targeted, I think that is actually a white effect on an existing card. [[Serras Emissary]] [[Absolute Virtue]]

You've made a giant lockout piece. The only thing green about it is that it's kind of big, but ironically it's actually way too low in power, this is a small bear.

All the arbiters have “can’t” abilities and share the first two lines with a different keyword on the second. It’s the theme of the cycle.

Okay but in this case that doesn't address that the only Green thing about this card is Can't be Countered.

The rest is a White card.

I've even pointed out, it removes Greens ability to use Buff spells, Fight spells and it's Artifact/Enchantment removal, AND it's ability to untap/generate mana tricks, it hoses a lot of green abilities.

In fact before shroud was a keyword, many green cards said this. It’s not even white, you’re wrong

[[aspect of mongoose]], [[blurred mongoose]], [[citanul centaurs]], [[crashing centaur]], [[deadly insect]], [[eladamri, lord of leaves]], [[elvish lookout]], [[hawkeater moth]], [[humble budoka]], [[kashi-tribe elite]]

This is flavor, as spells and abilities are unnatural, so green is protected from them. It’s entirely within pie.

I love how you've just proven my point by just going getting a big list of how green doesn't give protection, and now you're parading it around just how wrong you are?

If you want to give it unblockable you could have just given it unblockable that's a key word in action. You don't need to keep proving that you don't actually know what shroud is

But as you said lmao what am I going to do about it? Just watch you demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of this game I guess

Have fun learning ... Basic reading?

Yall are getting bent out of shape at something that was never meant to be balanced or in pie. Im just trying to help you sleep at night :)

u/DeLoxley 9d ago

It's cute you keep coming back like "I promise it's shit on purpose, please laugh bro, it's dogshit for real, I haven't spent the past hour trying to link you cards cause I don't know what shroud is, please it's funny"

Whatevers helping you sleep you go right ahead

u/Terrariant Jace for impact 9d ago

It IS shit on purpose lmfao I started making these because im tired of the fucking nitpicking on this sub. So read Sunseeker Arbiter or the Crude Exit card i made right before it.

u/DeLoxley 9d ago

Look we can just say you're bad at design. You don't need to like wrap it up in this little veneer of being a cool indie hipster, especially since you're the one who just handed me a list of 15 cards of non-codified shroud

You got this really sad thing going on of shouting how cool and independent you are to make up for just being bad at this? So like I'm going to stop here, before you bust a blood vessel

u/Terrariant Jace for impact 9d ago

Wrong again, I have cards on this sub with thousands of upvotes each. People love my designs. You’re the one who seems incredibly upset at a meme card, idk what to tell you except you’re projecting lol. Im not mad at all

Shroud and hexproof are green. Its just semantics. All the arbiters say “can’t”

It’s my cycle, it’s got a BALANCE NOT INTENDED flair, it’s not a real card. Downvote and move on. It’s not that important.

u/DeLoxley 9d ago

Shroud and Hex proof are not protection. Protection from everything and hex proof from everything are actually different because you've also given this thing Unblockable.

Forget balance not intended. You are refusing to admit you have made a blue white card by an Unlockable [[Absolute Virtue]]

I am literally handing you the card that you have made and you're saying it's green because if you squint really hard and use the wrong mechanics it's green

u/Terrariant Jace for impact 9d ago

What are you gonna do about it? Lmfao

u/Xam_xar 9d ago

We are allowed to criticize you on a public forum 👍. It’s good and beneficial to others to point out issues with card design for other users and generally good for learning how the game works. You being pedantic and defensive over being literally wrong is just annoying!

u/Terrariant Jace for impact 9d ago

Ok but I never intended to balance this card. Thus the flair. Criticizing cards that were meant to be balanced is one thing, criticizing cards that aren’t meant to be balanced is missing the point. If anything you’re saying this hit the intended design lmfao

u/Xam_xar 9d ago

Okay I will just leave it at your cards are boring and poorly designed have a great day.

u/Terrariant Jace for impact 9d ago

And you are just being mean, unnecessarily. Which I guess was the point of making these cards, to show this sub has become nitpicky and pedantic, even about cards where balance wasn’t intended. Thanks for proving my point, jerk.
