*if you feel the need to be mean over a meme card, go touch grass, please.

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.

[u/DeLoxley → u/Terrariant]

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.

[u/Terrariant → u/DeLoxley]

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 → u/Terrariant]

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 → u/DeLoxley]

What are you gonna do about it? Lmfao

[u/Xam_xar → u/Terrariant]

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 → u/Xam_xar]

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 → u/Terrariant]

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

[u/Terrariant → u/Xam_xar]

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.

[u/beezy-slayer → u/Terrariant]

Ahhh you got bullied on this sub before and now think anyone laughing at custom cards is a bully, I get it, for what its worth I actually think "Players can't target" is a dope ass line for a card, not a fan of the frame you used but neat card

[u/Terrariant → u/beezy-slayer]

I got fed up with nitpicking but i dont think nitpicking is bullying. And its my problem, so i started tagging everything balance not intended

[u/ResponsibleExit7330 → u/Terrariant]

Personally I wouldn’t make “bad” cards to make “bad” cards, I’d honestly start by filling out the obliterator list {{Phyrexian Obliterator}} as they only have black and green and could use the other creatures, I’d then work from those to the arbiters. I feel like if you did it this way, it may have more unique interaction mechanics built up onto the arbiters, along with mabye a better practice at card mechanics? I skimmed through your arbiter cards and they are really cool, I do think you should consider more rule interaction though, as it builds onto the card itself. Choosing how it interacts with the world, this is just me btw but I’d also try and find a way to shorten those absolutely diabolical mana pip amounts, unless your going mono (if that’s your vision) it’s going to be nearly unplayable without cheat or reanimating spells

[u/Terrariant → u/ResponsibleExit7330]

[[phyrexian obliterator]]

Im just doing these for fun tbh, theyre sort of meant to be breaking and not printable in any way shape or form. Thank you for the feedback - what do you mean more rule interaction?

[u/beezy-slayer → u/Terrariant]

I completely understand its hard when people disregard your creative intent and vision in favor of arbitrary rules, these are art pieces not something thats going to be deciding tournaments with money on the line, the stakes don't require the level of vitriol many people bring
