No Magic, No Life!
Custom Cards forum
Posted on Sept. 5, 2014, 11:01 p.m. by LightAndDarkness
In one of his most recent Drive to Works, Design 101, Mark Rosewater suggested that beginning card designers build around something with "fun flavor", either something inspired by real life or from a story. Inspired by that, I decided to make some cards based on what is certainly one of the odder sources I could pick, the anime No Game, No Life. In this thread I will be presenting the 15 mythic rares I created. Please keep in mind that I do not expect readers of this thread to be familiar with the series; I want the cards to be evaluated as Magic cards (though admittedly, some of these will make very little sense if you aren't familiar with the source material).
