Secret Lair - Dead Space (Custom Cards)
Custom Cards forum

Getting into some interesting space (ha) with these. One note about The Marker is that madness counters could be interpreted as granting the madness ability, like vigilance counters or whatever. I know that they wouldn't have any effect as is, but somebody somewhere would try to interpret them that way, either naively or maliciously.

Thanks!
Was honestly expecting this to get a lot more attention. Kind of disappointed that it's not. Oh well.
I'm highly considering making 2 or 3 precons for Dead Space. So, The Elder Scrolls is my #1 most favorite series of all time, hands down. But there's so much content, it's difficult to really reign in anything for custom deck ideas. Dead Space is a beloved franchise of mine, and I've played all the games (including the rail shooter!), read the comics and books, beaten the first one on the hardest difficulty with a 100% clearance rate, etc. So since it is such a smaller franchise, I felt that would be more appropriate to try and start with.
I figured Isaac being Izzet and Dr. Mercer being Orzhov would have enough of a blend of styles to make them viable against each other. You're basically going sort of a steam-punk voltron that wants to build weapons compared to an endless array of Horrors and self-sacrifice outlets.
I'd love to add a 3rd deck that uses to some capacity but I'm not really sure with what. Perhaps the EDF (Earth Defense Force)? They could probably be Jund and basically just go in and kill everything. Although that's sort of what Orzhov is doing, so I don't really know.

Dead Space might be a little too niche (but I don't know anything about anything; there's like four franchises I know well enough to think about a Secret Lair for).
The designs look solid, and the colors work well for the characters. I've put a few hours into the first one, but I'm terrible at third person shooters in general. No suggestions for , since the series doesn't really focus on anything that I would call green-centric.

Those are nice man. I made some custom cards of metroid that are pretty cool, I'll try to ake pics later.
Regarding it getting more attention, honestly I think the game is a little niche, I know they just did the remake but I heard it actually undersold.
Also, it seems like there isn't much traffic on this particular forum so your post may just not be getting enough eyeballs on it.
So that could be why your proxy aren't getting more buzz.
Maybe try sharing them on ? I imagine you'd get more visibility there.

This was just a trial run for a Secret Lair.
I could make both of these into fully fledged precons if there is enough interest.
I understand that I used the wrong card foreground for the Schematic token. The issue was that the token foreground kept stretching and distorting the artwork, and resizing it was not helping. So I opted to make it a normal artifact foreground, and forego any mana cost or value in the upper righthand corner. :/
