Yeah, here's some examples of typical MSE cards,



it's pretty unfortunate how fake those all look. you'd expect people to be able to make playing cards for a 30 year old game more precise

The simple square as the set symbol for sephiroth is brilliant. The actual UB final fantasy stuff could hardly do better.

It's a downloadable program for making your own custom cards. The result can look presentable as a real Magic card, but will not pass any scrutiny if being observed by anyone with more than a causal interest in the game. It does not have any sort of database of existing card images, and does not print existing card images, though one can mock up an existing card if they wished. If someone does try to make a real Magic card there will often be margin and text size issues that will give it away.

It does give you the option to export the custom card and print though.

I assumed it was safe to post since it does not print existing images of Magic cards, and is not intended to, nor actually pass as actual cards to most people.

But if I misjudged and my description still makes you a bit on edge about it, it's understandable to play it safe. Go ahead and edit the link out of my post if that's the case.

I'm gonna rule that linking to this site is OK.

It's been a while since I used the program but I think you get the square by default if you don't set an expansion symbol of your own

here come the planes
if someone has the ability to print cards on their own, they don't need MSE because they can just nab images of the actual cards from scryfall or w/e. i think it was just a little unclear what the site was on first post if you didn't dig into it, but i don't think there's any question on whether or not it's doing anything against forum rules

WHY IS THIS GAME DEAD?!

I'm being a bit pedantic here, but most of these cards were made by mtgcardsmith.com, which is a web-based program which does the same thing except that the results look much, much worse.

MSE is a lot of fun and I encourage people to check it out. It can be addicting! About six or seven years ago I had a lot of time on my hands and made a whole set based on Metalocalypse.

They did something similar with Glissa where you'd count the mana in pool and still be able to spend it otherwise, though offhand I don't know if they've done anything else like her.


Original Omnath comes to mind. Interesting that they updated wording on some commander version just refers to 'unspent green mana' and removes references to the 'mana pool'. https://scryfall.com/card/cc1/2/omnath-locus-of-mana

It's an insane cube actually. Themes are organized in to modules and you pick out which ones you want to play with that day, plus a utility module with the basics like fixing and stuff.


So that day we had scarecrows, cycling, miracles, and devotion. I had astral slide, lightning rift, and faith of the devoted but the two guys to my right both went all in on cyclers and I had to pivot out :mad:

Oh he did it in a smart way actually. It's double sleeved and the inside sleeves have decals on them. I guess you can get penny sleeves like that with an emoji or impact font meme or something. Each module has its own consistent unique decal. It obscures a bit of the art but w/e, you can separate them back out super quickly with one runthrough.

Dream cube if I ever get the physical space. I've got a personal 540 of favorites and an Modern Horizons Two 270 card cube in a fat pack box.

My next project is a 360 card cube that has no tokens/counters/or extraneous game pieces that I'm calling a "Clean 360" that I could travel with easily.

Ugh so amazing. I wanna take our 540 and add modules up to 720 but they would all be smaller and play into an already powerful cube so it feels tougher to balance power with modules like this. Gotta be full module

Honestly the coolest part was like, you have the room to spread out all the regular suspects. I think in most 540 size cubes probably 60% of the cards are the same? With this you get to pick cards you'd never include in a tight cube.

Also someone had split screen in their miracles deck. Getting four shots and drawing what you want each turn is pretty good!

MODO is now being managed by a new company, it's down today as they migrate stuff and everyone will need to reinstall. It won't effect anyone's collection but he is joking that you had to do something to keep your cards.

I've been thinking about getting some Stomping Grounds and other shocks to fill out my collection a bit so I can built more Pioneer decks. Do you all think pricing will go down significantly after the 2022 version of the Pioneer Challenger decks come out?

Historically, I looked at some cards like Brazen Borrower which seemed to go down ~33% after the 2021 versions were released, Omniscience went down around 50% over the next 30 days, but cards like Chandra, TOD and Thoughtseize didn't seem to move much.

If you're serious about making your own cards, download Magic Set Editor. It's super easy to use and looks a lot better than mtgcardsmith.

Looking for some feedback on my pioneer deck. I pretty much only play commander, and I thought the deck linked below would be the closest to what I like to do in Magic. It's a home brew, I don't think its in the Meta but its probably closest to the Orzhov Pioneer Precon.

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Yw3Mu5JQwUGppKz-IRrUyQ

Went 0/3 tonight losing to Rakdos Sacrifice, Blue Spirits, and Izzet extra turns. Generally want to keep a hand with Sram/Drake and something to put on it to start turning thru the deck. I can't seem to keep anything on the board to start the engine. I know I'm light on interaction, but I figured I'd get some extra eyes on this to see if its viable or if I should just move on.
