Does anyone have a four ability walker template using the post M15 border they wouldn't mind sharing? I've been trying to update the one by White Dragon, but it just keeps coming out wonky.
I'm aware both versions of Hero's Downfall are using the set symbol for Ixalon instead of Theros. This has been changed, however the corrected versions were not uploaded to my Twitter in time.
Hi there, is there any chance getting the single Images?
As for the single images, you can have a look at the anime themed cube our playgroup has. It has all the proxies that I have made including a decent number that are not posted in this thread so you should be able to grab them from there. Link here
Also while drafting aforementioned cube, I got some feedback from players that the artifacts were not that easy to differentiate as the typical grey border has been removed for more artwork. I've added texture on the sides as a cue and redid all the artifact proxies, starting with the swords cycle and moving from there.
What did you do to be able to get your watermarks like that?
Planning on getting back into the habit of making renders again, but feeling like the template I have is going to need some serious overhauling. I'm currently using the RoblinTheGoblin Pro M15 template, so I don't have any faction watermarks or hybrid text boxes. If someone would be able to walk me through how to implement them, that would be wonderful, but for now here's a safe Steam Vents I tried to put together.
Hey guys, I'm hoping to be able to find a couple of alters for a few things I've been meaning to stick into EDH decks, as well as updating the template I've got. If anyone could help, that'd be really appreciated.
The template I have is still the old "RoblintheGoblins Pro M15 Template v1.3" from 2014 and I know a lot's come out since then. Hopefully someone has a template with double-faced cards, four-ability planeswalkers, or even Masterpieces that they would be willing to share?
I'm also looking for any renders for Gaea's Cradle, Enlightened Tutor and Seedborn Muse, if any of those are possible.
Lastly, as I'm sure it's unfair to request a bunch of things and not share, here are a couple of the renders that I've done that I feel are worth sharing. Any critique is welcome as I'd love to be able to improve my own work to the levels I've seen.
It looks like Zeerbe is no longer giving out any templates, which is disheartening because it's such good work. What I'm looking for now then is if there's an updated template (at least through Battle for Zendikar)that has the set symbols. I've always enjoyed being able to make a render and keep the symbol intact.
Thanks everyone who responded. At first glance I was seeing a lot of purely custom cards and nothing that was based on something, so I thought I'd ask beforehand.
Fading is used to represent the temporary ability summons certain champions have. Absorb is used to represent damage shields.
I'm definitely an offender of the "It's legendary, so it should do a ton of cool stuff" myth, hence all of the very bulky text. As for clunky, a lot of the times my abilities will be templates from other cards and then tweaked for what I need and the translation might not be the smoothest. I definitely appreciate the feedback though.
For Heimet, I've had a lot of trouble with him. I think it's because I've focused too much on his turret creation and not just played with the idea that he's an artificer. I really like the draw on damage triggered ability, but what do you think about instead of the token generating ability he's able to animate a noncreatures artifact until end of turn?
For Miss Fortune, I like using the idea that you can turn cards into ammunition. How does discarding a card and dealing damage to target creature equal to that card's converted mana cost sound?
With Lulu's absorb shield trigger, would it still be that same wording if I'm meaning "target creature other than Lulu"? I figure if I allow Lulu the ability to gain a damage shield, she could very well just become completely unkillable through damage.
I think they would read something like:
Heimerdinger, Revered Inventor 2UU
Legendary Creature - Yordle Artificer
Flash 2U: Target noncreature artifact you control becomes an artifact creature with base power and toughness each equal to its converted mana cost until your next upkeep.
Whenever an artifact you control deals damage, you may draw a card.

Going to be posted several cards based around the League of Legends champions as I get to them. The intent is have them be of rare or mythic quality and keep to the flavor of the champion's abilities or general motif while still being playable in a limited or constructed format, whether competitive or casual. Accepting any critique. Card names link to champion's wikia page for information about their lore background and abilities.

I've been working on custom cards based around the League of Legends champions and since I'm still new to creating cards and don't have a very firm grasp on what makes a card balanced, I thought I might post them here for critiquing. I've read the rules and looked through the FAQ, but I don't see anything on posting original cards like that. Is such a thing disallowed, discouraged, or simply never been done?
