When I was doing daily #CustomMagic posts on Reddit and everywhere else (until Reddit and Twitter both became hostile to my presence), I would keep a file on hand of 'working' for the year. Any ideas I had for individual cards I'd put there and then implement them into the next year's set of 365 cards.

I did stop that when last year, I decided to give up on contributing to those communities, so I wound up with a much smaller file.

Might as well share it, right?

Dev Pile: Customs Depot, Ep 2

This is a weird kind of overlap. I needed a Dev Pile spot for this week that doesn’t relate to stuff happening at the uni (because meetings), and I wanted a place to do a video explaining some custom magic solutions to the Wizards of the Coast set Through the Omenpaths. This is what you get. I know it might not be exactly what you’re after for a Dev Pile article. Script below the fold!

Oh, and the ♣s are when the script is telling me to advance the images.

The World of Harrowed Night

Malvad is the setting for my custom Magic: the Gathering set, Harrowed Night. It’s a name chosen as a joke, but which I’m now fond of, because it’s a stupid name. Just as a heads up, though, this article is not going to feature any custom magic cards, and you don’t need to understand the rules of Magic: The Gathering to understand the setting. This article aims to explain commonalities through the factions and their interests, which will mean understanding some of the colour wheel of Magic: the Gathering, but I promise to summarise it.

This is a treatment of a city in a setting.

Content Warning: Made in September 2024, Harrowed Night wanted to capture the idea of criminal gangs in a magi-tech setting opposing a fascist dictatorship that wanted to control people’s ways of worship, living, self-identifying and loving, annd even the very ways history was remembered to hide the encroaching climate catastrophe swallowing the city.

Again, this was September 2024.

This might be a bummer!

MTG: Introducing Harrowed Night

Know where you stand or you’ll find where you fall.

The world is broken. The city is collapsing. The weather of the north storms hammer at the city’s walls, while the seas creeping in the dilapidated ruins of the south side start to boil. New monsters break through the decaying infrastructure, and the people in charge of the world are incompetent to fix things or don’t even care.

The only thing that will save us is us, and the time to start is now.

Let the blood rise, in this Harrowed Night.

MTG: 2024 In Review as a Custom Magic Maker

2024 saw a truly staggering amount of Magic Product released across multiple formats and platforms. Did you know they put out an official Magic: The Gathering Oracle deck, which is like a Tarot deck but it’s a different kind of cultural practice that isn’t magic, but in this case is actually Magic and in the purest sense of things is probably actually fine because it’s just a tarot-like deck made using some of the greatest living commercial fantasy artists? I didn’t, until I started making this list.

Look, I make my own custom magic cards. The task of making the cards is a thing I do, because I find it fun, and that means I consider Magic products in terms not just of their game pieces, things to partake in, but every new release is basically a dump of parts that I can then repurpose and they become part of the toolkit and toybox. What makes 2024 a little different is… well it’s not even a little different.

It’s just there’s so much stuff to check.

Hey, Wizards of the Coast Staff: Don’t worry about this one, I’m not showing any custom designs, just talking about hypothetical design space here.

I made a #MagicTheGathering mockup card for my friend Draco and here's the result! We did a secret santa this year and I just KNEW what I wanted to make for him. I also commissioned the physical print with the right size and back of the card. It looked nice :)

Texto de la carta en español en la respuesta a este toot!

#CustomMagic #Art #Illustration #DigitalArt #MastoArt #ArtNouveau

Mockup Magic The Gathering card made by me with the illustration of a woman angel with white wings and long flowy blonde hair approaching a round table with cabello de ángel pastries. They're surrounded by cidra squash leaves and flowers. The angel is delighted, about ot eat a pastry, eyes closed and smiling. She wears a pink dress in classic ancient greek fashion and some jewelry inspired in art nouveau. On the table, there are also a jar with cabello de ángel with a spoon inside, a cup of tea, a plate of these pastries cut in squares, and 2 cidra squashes. The table has a white fabric over it. The background is the sky and some pink yellow clouds. I also added art nouveau inspired frames for the text boxes of this card. The one above with the title says CABELLO DE ÁNGEL and has two symbols for 1 colorless and 1 white mana. The boxes bellow say "ARTEFACTO ESTIRPE, COMIDA DE ÁNGEL" (Kindred artifact, angel food) with a squash flower as the symbol. Bellow it says: 2 colorless mana, and tap symbols. Sacrifice Cabello de Ángel: You gain 3 life. When Cabello de Ángel is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you and the creatures you control gain protection from black and red until the end of turn. Instead of Wizards of the Coast I wrote Los Magos de la Costa (the same but in Spanish, literaly lol. Then there's my name and everything like in the actual real cards!It's the same illustration than before but without the text boxes, so you can see the angel and plants better, but nothing else is here. Thanks for reading the long ass text from before. Or sorry, depends how you took it.
