my pod are all making our own custom commanders and building decks around them. I'm fucking retarded so help me balance this shit so I'm not pub stomping or getting pub stomped. also some auto incudes for the 99 would be helpful
shameless self bump
bump
>>97930067He should have Skulk instead of Menace
>>97930067Ass. Absolutely abysmal card. 5 mana for a shit body and 4 more mana for an even shittier draw every turn? Homelands tier of bad creature.
>>97930067Change the second one to>When this creature enters or attacks, investigate.
>>97930067>RougeConsider ending yourself instead.
>>97935086like i said I'm retarded. fix this gay as shit for me so I'm not laughed out of my pod
>>97935520thanks queen
>>97935920What bracket is your pod?What kind of synergies do you want in the deck?The card you've posted is kind of a generic 'goodstuff' card (but actually is a generic 'midstuff' card because it's pretty weak) and I don't really follow the intended flavor. Nothing about the design screams 'Batman' to me.Batman is known for a few things:1) Preptime2) Gadgets3) Detective work (sort of)4) Dark and broodingAssuming you don't want him to be specifically tailored to a strategy that your deck will be using. Consider something like:1WUBVigilance, HexproofBatman cannot be blocked except by black and artifact creatures.Whenever Batman deals combat damage to a player, you may exile a non-creature card (change this to instant/sorcery or artifact if you want to lean into artifact or spellslinger) from your hand with mana value X or less where X is the amount of damage dealt to that player. That card becomes plotted.T:Batman Connives.1/4Adjust stats how you want. I think it works best when you encourage the use of auras, anthems, or equpment to pump his power but modern JotC design would force a way for him to increase his own power without needing any synergistic cards because modern JotC is a bunch of idiots designing a game for actual retards.
>>97930067I like the stun mechanic but I think it should also prevent Batman from dealing lethal damage to them. I'd personally do a mono black identity for Batman but I know WotC themselves have pretty much given up on color identity as a flavor concept.
I'm going to piggyback here.Hows thisDude McManLegendary Dude1/4At the end of your turn, all untapped dudes you control get a +1/+1 counter.Remove a +1/+1 counter from target Dude; it gains Flying or Double Strike until end of turn.Remove two +1/+1 counters from target dude; tap target creature and put a stun counter on it.
>>97936023Generally speaking, any complex character from another franchise/universe would be 4 color minimum and generally 5 color. The idea that Batman would be monoblack is ridiculous.Black is about ambition, selfishness, and personal benefit. You can make an argument that Batman operating outside the law and inspiring fear in criminals is black but his core identity is probably equal parts white (order, law, justice) and blue (detective work, thinking/planning, gadgets). I could see WB as the best two color option for him with UB as a solid second place but I think OP got it correct with WUB.
>>97930067Unironically the new prepare mechanic seems like a good fit.
>>979360721GRW, forgot to say
>>97936072Does this card have a mana cost?Fucking around with +1/+1 counters (in particular, removing them as a cost) is something I think of as an artifact/colorless effect but it if tied to a color combination it is almost definitely UG because of counters moving around being a very OG Simic kind of thing.Double strike is much more powerful than flying and is generally costed to illustrate that. The last ability would almost never be activated because it is a weaker effect than double strike and probably a weaker effect than flying as well.I think the card you've designed is probably a WUG card that you could get away with being just WG if you flavored it properly. 1/4 is an odd statline for it.
I'll throw my idea in for consideration:Silly Putty Man1GWRDuring your upkeep, choose a form. Silly Putty Man gains those abilities until your next upkeep:Destroyer Form (First Strike and Deathtouch)Iron Form (Hexproof, Indestructible, Defender)Assault Form (+2/+0 and Trample)4/4
>>97936165Make it pay 2 to transform. Or do a color paring (GW for Iron, RG for assault, etc).
>>97930067>Batman - 1WUB>Vigilance, Skulk - 2/4>Whenever Batman ETBs or deals damage combat damage, Surveil 2>Whenever you Surveil, you may pay 2, if you do, Investigate>Tap, Sacrifice an artifact: Tap target non-land permanent and put two Stun counters on itBeat up some henchman, gather some clues, and throw some Batarangs to take out the big bad.>>97936082That's good too. Batman becomes prepared whenever you Surveil, then you pay to throw a Batarang.
>>97930067Batman shouldn't be able to destroy non-undead monsters.
Cool art on that Batman card though. Do you have the original?
>>97930067>batman>rogueBatman is a knight.
>>97930067Outside of balance.You might want to add "...or more creatures TAP AND put stun..." otherwise you would get untapped creatures with stun counters on them which is... awkward
>>97930067How about: Batman, the Caped Crusader (1WUB)Legendary Creature - Human Detective HeroVigilance, First StrikeIf a human dealt damage to by Batman would die, it phases out instead.Creatures your opponent controls cannot phase in.At the beginning of your end step, investigate X where X is the amount of phased out creatures your opponent controls.4/4
