Custom MTG Cards (Savor the Moment, Azure Lightning, & Enigma on the Open Road)
Despite my lack of uploads, I do still have a number of Custom MTG Card designs I've been keeping under my hat. For the most part, the reason is simply that I have been lazy in uploaded them, but that ends today. You may also notice...
Edmund, Fist of Justice
I've had this card in my files for some time now. I had established a lot time ago that I wanted Edmund to embody Jeskai (Blue/Red/White) colors, but designed Jeskai cards is tricky. I didn't want to fall into the trap of making another spellslinger...
Enigma, the Slayer
I've been seriously thinking about this "Planeswalkers as creatures" design space and how else it could be applied. And in that context, the Emperor Enigma felt like an appropriate vehicle to explore that space further. If planeswalkers can be creatures, then they can be given a...
Enigma, the Technical Mind
I've had this idea stewing in my head for a while now, and the piece I got from LittleBadWolf was the perfect art to use for it. Kaito Bane of Nightmares is the latest example, but there are more than a few Planeswalkers and Planeswalker support...
Enigma’s Disdainful Stroke
His adversary was channeling mana, large quantities of it. The pages of the spellbook in their hand had begun to project the arcane glow of mystical energies. In his position, many mages would have lost their nerve, unable to respond to such an obvious threat. But...
Dearly Departed
"The dead shall rest in peace. I can't say the same for you." It appears you have some skeletons in your closet: Lingering guilt over the dearly departed. Perhaps you hold yourself responsible for their premature demise. Perhaps they represent a moment of weakness, where you...
Azurium, Ranger Corp Captain
And of course, a new era for Azurium needs to have a custom MTG card to go with it, using the artwork I got from Marsel-Defender in November of 2023. Though some friends helped me with templating, this card was more-or-less fully formed right out of...
Rhygar, Murder’s Progeny
CW: Blood, vivid violent imagery You told them you needed to mediate. Perhaps there was truth to that, but your depraved mind knew to withhold the crucial pieces of information. You have performed this ritual many times, at least that's what you suspect. Though your memory...
Rabrandt, Prodigal Detective
I had spent years, starting in September 2021, and ending with this submission in October 2023, cooking up the concept of an Enigma "Sparker" card, a legendary creature that transforms into a Planeswalker. Because he's a detective in lore, I knew I wanted him to...
Azurium, Bane of Machines
And of course, I enjoyed the YCH pose from that last work so much that I needed to get two slots for it. Once again, this too came from balalaevGod back in April of 2023. At the time, March of the Machines was the hot new...
