https://www.planesculptors.net/set/reflections-what-could-have-been#detailsA few weeks ago, I posted a thread about a set I had worked on over the course of several years. The set took three threads, and during that was discussions, suggestions, and even recommendations. Two common requests was somewhere to post the whole set, and a means to play it. Under a persons suggestion I put this set into Planesculptor, with another one I've been suggested being Forge. I don't know how I'll go about that, but its something I've considered. I followed some advice, and made some last minute changes for card balance, (such as the removal of Monk Companion for pic related), but other than that, everything is complete, and I shall continue to work on the follow sets for the block, Dreams, and Reality. >What is Reflections? A fan set made by me using exclusively public domain art. The sets goal is to capture the power level and feeling of early Magic, with the original intention the set should feel like it came out right before Ice Age. >Whats the setting?The setting is 'The Realm' also known as 'The Twelve Kingdoms' a proxy Europe stuck in a romanticized high Middle Ages. The have remnants to the old empire to the east, with barbarians beyond that and enemies to the south, with a seemingly impossible ocean and merfolk to the west. One day, a new foe crosses that ocean, and with it, strange and terrible new weapons. >How should I play Reflections? However you like. Add it to your existing old school cards, run it as a stand alone product, add it to your cube, or giving the set size, use it as a cube itself. I do recommend for power level reasons restricting all 'Mythic rares' to one if you play it as a stand alone product, but otherwise, it should be fairly well balanced. Also, PLANESCULPTORS.NET does provide tools for setting up natural sealed and draft pools, if thats your thing. Though I haven't figured out if there is a way to play with them on the service.

>>93927800Shut the fuck up bart symptom! I'm enjoying his passion project. I love banding
>>93925844The style and kind of artwork really does feel appropriate to the old borders.
>>93927800What the fuck are you even trying to convey>>93931447Aesthetics is important, somehow WotC has forgotten this>>93930167You're in luck the next set will feature banding as well.
>>93932169forgot imageHas anyone tried the cards yet?
>>93932169I haven't tried it, but I did look at each card.
>>93932983What ya think?
Well i really like the violin
>>93935089good taste
>>93925844I love what you've done anon. I used to really be into making custom cards. I wish I could regain that drive, but after 26 years and the last 7-ish years I have become so disgusted with wotc that it has ruined magic for me forever.I wish you plenty of luck and hope you continue the hard work. I can tell that a lot of heart and thought went into each card.
>>93936945You know this would be a perfect Un-card
>>93934657It seems like a balanced set that on a cursory glance has no overtly powerful cards and still maintains old lingo at least in terms of effects. The only real update is typing. It gives me the vibe of a set from 95 or 96. As mentioned before the artwork has the correct sort of look that meshes nicely with the borders. In addition the cards have a lot of quirks about them that make them interesting by themselves.
>>93940651Fun fact: Early on (very early) I didn't use public domain art. This art of Quinton Hoover I saw in an issue of the duelist served as the original art for this card, before I decided to go with public domain art instead.
>>93925844This is really cool. I miss this vibe. Back when Magic didn't lock artists into one style as much the setting seemed so interesting, there was more mystery to it.
>>93943339I think swapping to public domain works better as what is available there unironically fits mtg better. Not that what you posted wouldn't work, as that could fit on old border, just there is a certain charm that feels seamless with the border.
>>93943761I agree. Though his logic was entirely legal ones, it got me back into studying art, which has brought me immense joy.Still using early to mod 90s art gave it a certain 90s feel
>>93945968Shit wrong image (still cool looking though)
>>93946078>>93945968>>93946078The next set will experiment with Snow covered lands, phasing, and cumulative upkeep
>>93925844It's wonderful to see that you did deliver anon.Good job on making that whole set, have a nice one
>>93951690anon delivers!
>>93950051Hopefully that goes well for ya.
>>93925844Your set design has big "we need to issue an emergency ban for Sword of the Ages" energy
>>93955470Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?>>93954555I like to think it is going well.
