Sup /tg/, I am making a magic card set based on World War 2. I'm currently stuck on choosing the colors for each nation as I want to abide by the color wheel but still stay historically accurate. What colors would each nation be?
>>
hmmmm bump
>>
nazis red? (haste = blitzkrieg)
americans white? (wrath of god = nuke)
russians green? (lots of silly little fucks)
british blue? (counterspells = battle for britain)
japanese black? (duress & hymn = pearl harbor
>>
Hey! I'm doing the same thing with /d/ fetish's!

Anyways, Nations? no... factions? ya. German should be Red/Black Black for Naiz and Red for the other patriotic just fighting for there country guys

Japan black/white. Somewhere in between "Skin everyone that thinks for themselves! give all the kids knives and we will storm the beach!" and "I will gladly give my life to save my family and country!"

America should be blue with a lot of "Control" card's based on money and production

Russian's ... well dur, come on, red. (perhaps some green for the more "ranger'ey" among them?)

errr. its all up to you from there OP
>>
>>24003621
>russians green? (lots of silly little fucks)
I'd associate green more with big dudes, and white more with counters. But you probably have the best way to do it
>>
>>24002427
Cool card. You could capture the flavour more by trying to keep the creature you're interrogating alive- ie:

BB: Place a -1/-1 counter on enchanted creature.

1, remove a -1/-1 counter from enchanted creature: Look at the top card of target player's library. You may put it into their graveyard.

It makes for interesting choices, and the longer you can keep the creature alive, the more information you can get and the more damage you can cause. But that's just my two cents- it works pretty nicely as it is.
>>
>>24003715
I like it! You sir are brilliant.

Also if we are going by color wheel German's would be Black/white society (absolute law and personal gain in taking land)
Brits would be blue....I'm not sure I even need to explain that.
America would be red because of emphasis on personal freedom.
Russia would be green, minus the nature vibe its basically socialism, maybe green/black.
>>
>>24003815
Glad you like the idea! Can't promise I won't use some variation of it in my own custom set at some point though...
>>
I have more cards already made if anyone wants to see them.
>>
>>24004275
Go for it. I'm off to bed but I look forward to seeing them in the morning!

I have more than enough free time to make at least 500 cards, I already have more than 100 and I just started making these a few days ago. most of the stuff I have are polish and german, with some russian thrown in.
>>
I feel Nazis should be white and blue. White because of the order they enforced and blue because of all the crazy Nazi Science shit that happened.

America seems more red since they joined after an American boat was sunk, more on pride than anything.

It's hard to apply the color wheel to real world politics, though.

I had to do this for the flavor text.
>>
>>24004768
Nice! Though I think it could do with one more toughness, it is a tank after all.
>>
>>24004798
It's not a tank, it's a tank destroyer. Maybe 2/1
>>
>>24004798

M18 was a tank destroyer. Open-topped and no more than 25mm of armor. Maybe haste though, considering its 90mph top speed.
>>
This is pretty neat. Although, I do have a few suggestions.

In general you should try and make it so that all your cards have proper flavour, so don't make one tank a regular creature and the next one an artifact creature if you can help it.

Here are a few nit-picky specifics, mostly the way things are worded:
>>24004475
First strike is only capitalized on the "F".
>>24004586
Holy SHIT 2 mana? Might want to add a colour to this too.
>>24004651
This would be better as "Target opponent's creatures get -1/-1 until the end of the turn."
>>24004707
"Can block any number of non-artifact creatures." One "line of effects" is always better than two.
>>24004757
This can be combined in to one thing too.
>>24004768
Seems a bit overcosted.

Japan should be black because of the self-sacrificial stuff they did (e.g. kamikazes). Nazis would be red/white, I'm thinking really efficient and aggressive boros creatures. Russia could be blue because of the deception/propaganda/control used by the government. Not sure about the rest.

Specify that it can only, be equipped, to armors, then change "armor" to "creature."

>>24005147

>>24005128
Tiger 1 doesn’t untap during your untap step. At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay 2(colorless). If you do, untap Tiger 1.
>>
This is a really cool idea, and on a smaller scale, most of your individual cards have cool mechanics brimming with flavor. I love it OP.

You should look at cards that already exist to help you with your wording. Like for this one you can look at, for example, Swat and Eyeblight's Ending. Using those two cards you can determine the wording to be: "Destroy target Armor creature with power 4 or less."

Reduce the mana by one and make it an uncommon, and it will be playable. As it is now, on turn six, with a one drop, you are paying 5 mana for a vanilla 4/4 basically.

As a combat trick, you are better off having the buff be a combat trick that for one W and tapping it gives the card 2/2. Regardless of what you do with it, good shit OP.

Maybe make Russia Black Green or maybe Red Green?

ok the cards are very cool, but you might wanna dispense with the MTG terminology
a tank is not an artifact creature, and there are no "spells" in WWII. i know the whole idea is to make a WWII MTG game, but i'm just not sold. a WWII card game based on magic could be cool, but WWII units and the word "spell" or "cast" do not belong on the same page. sorry. that's just my opinion. i do love the cards and you've put a lot of work into them... so yeah... no constructive criticism here...

Shouldn't America be Green? I mean seriously, think about this shit. All they did was just ramp up until they could afford to show up and destroy everything.I think when OP designs American cards, they should be green with a focus on white and blue splash. But hey, that's just me.

>>24006438
This enchantment actually feels like something that would end up as a set keyword on all Japanese Flyers. It feels like it would read "Flying, Kamikaze" but that is just my two cents.

I toyed with that idea at first, but it became really hard to seperate them from russia, which in world war two they didnt really even meet until the very end so overlap would be just wrong. Also red is the color of personal freedom, which compared to most other nations america experienced it a lot.

also down to the last few cards for tonight.
>>
>>24006585

This.

I feel like you should distinguish each faction / country into their own respective colors, kind of like Ravnica, and then give them their own unique keyword
>>
>>24006555

Continuation. Russian cards could be black, since they hit themselves alot. Maybe implement a mechanic where Russians destroy lands to get cool effects of the OP's design. So far, everything has been absolutely amazing though.
>>
>>24006624
Russia should be Black/Green. Black because sacrificing one million men to gain a mile of ground. Green because nature effects.
>>
Nazi Germany should be R/G to represent speed and steamrolling strategy aka Blitzkriegs.

Japan should be some combination of W/B due to strong fliers and advanced tech at the time and attempting to gain resources at all cost.

UK should be U/W for their doctrine of Air Superiority in WW2.

USA should be U/G for Growth and massive resource and industrial complex base.

Soviets should be R/B for human wave doctrine tactics and their willingness to sacrifice soldiers for the end game.

Italy should be G/W if anything, they were pretty shit tech wise.

The problem is, not all japanese flyers did kamikaze, in fact the ones that did were specially outfitted for the job. it would make more sense to make a kamikaze creature instead.

>>24006624
I did have them be black for a bit but then there was too much overlap with Axis troops.
>>
>>24006649
Honestly, OP. My suggestion is you split it up into blocks. Two sets of cards, with the addition keywords per tribal. Don't give the American tribe creatures until the second block, and instead have all the early American tribal cards be easily splashable, and have resource effects. This way, you can focus on declaring and fleshing out the tribes in the first block, giving everybody chances to really get in touch with each tribes mechanics. Then you add more mechanics in the second block while reinforcing the old block, allowing for a sense of completion, as well as a stronger more expanded card base, since you are already approaching an impressive number (kudos once again.)

I'd switch U.S. and Russia.

America should be red for all the FREEEDUHMS we're bringing to the world.

>>24006809
Plus even the life gain fits the Soviet Union.

The Germans just keep attacking every round and they just won't die.

This is gonna haunt me, because it can really go either way. Both nations were rampy, both nations were spammy, both had kill everything (russian scorched earth, american atom bomb) However my decision is based on red=freedom green=the greater good. also green has little to no flying which fits russia perfectly as their airforce was constantly suppressed by the luftwaffe whereas the americans were all about airborne troops and air superiority (see paratroopers and the B-52 flying fortress)

also found another card that I forgot, it too needs a flavor text.

>>24006861
This might depend on how much ships cost on average and such, but I feel it should be
Sac > Coin Flip > Win Destroy, Lose Nothing

Just my two cents.
>>
>>24006779
Okay. Let's say you have the first set of cards that comes out. This set represents the first half of the war, and you can have a tribal Keyword effect. Germans might have an effect like as just a thought "Seize" where if a card deals damage, search your library for a land and place it on the field, allowing for rush and ramp tactics. However, in the second block, no longer create cards with "Seize" but rather use a different keyword effect. Maybe a keyword where if a creature deals damage, exile a card from your library face down in a seperate card. Then, have a cards that access the exiled card. This way you have two keywords for each tribe, allowing you to represent the complex evolution of the war. As for America, have their cards with a total mana cost that only has one specified color. For instance, how about "Supply Train" which allows you play an equipment from your Library for cheaper, but it's in the American Tribe.

The pacific front is the last thing I plan on implementing, if I implement it at all, as my knowledge on the subject is fairly limited and no matter what adding another exclusive nation tosses a monkey wrench in the setup I have right now. Though it might work if the pacific front was seperate from the european one. It would have similar mechanics, but it would only have say.... America, Russia, Japan, China, Manchu? If someone else wants to do that be my guest.

>>24006949
So you are saying units would have two phases as the battle goes on, I feel like this would require a revamp of a lot of things, namely starting life totals since having multiple phases implies the game will last longer than say 6 turns.

Ha! I found another card!
>>
>>24006949
Oh. I see where the misunderstanding is. Cards wouldn't have phases. They would have sets.
Ie. Gatecrash and Return to Ravnica.
Basically, two sets of cards of cards in a related universe. Have the tribes transition into a new set of mechanics in the newer set, so that a tribe has access to two sets of cards with a different mechanic in each one, representing the change in the war. I feel this will help you add flavor to some of the cards you have, and show progression in the war.
>>
>>24007059
So for an example, with Poland the first set would have the actual polish army and air force, using polish tanks and equipment. the second set would have polish partisans and foreign armies under the british and russians.

Are people still interested in a link that contains all these cards?

Exactly. The second set would have easily splashable polish cards and minor reinforcement to other Polish set using creatures. So in the first set, you might have a creature that requires two white mana under the polish tribe, but in the second set, only have it require 1 white mana in the total cost.

Not the same cards, but rather creatures that are similar. The same well armed unit that cost 1WW in the first block and had double strike would now be 2W and have First Strike with 1 more power, with a name change to something like "Partisan Veteran" representing the old unit has degraded over time. Just thought for flavor.

I gotta be honest here, OP. This may be one of the owrst custom card threads I have ever seen. I get that I will get a lot of flak for this since you guys seem to love the flavor of it i guess, but the blatant disregard for the color pie, the terrible balancing, and the complete inability to format properly makes these cards the type that give all custom card threads a bad name.

I understand that these do not adhere to the color pie, this set is in very early alpha and I think it is important to note that these cards would not be used with other magic cards but they would be standalone.

Assuming you are playing this game in a diplomatic FFA environment, then I think you need to be careful with that card.
I think it should two blue mana.
Instead of taking damage, which feels more red, instead offer "Return a permanent player controls to it's owner's hand." Also, joining the pact should be represented as a token with defender. As long as they control the creature with defender, all creatures they control have defender. The defender they control will die if they are attacked, allowing other players to intervene. It sounds like a fun card.

>I understand that these do not adhere to the color pie, this set is in very early alpha and I think it is important to note that these cards would not be used with other magic cards but they would be standalone. I respect your opinion and I hope that you can point out some of the formating issues. I also ask that people respect this guy's opinion.
If they're not going to be used alongside other Magic cards, why use WUBRG mana? Why not use, say, German mana and British mana etc?
You've got all this Magic terminology that's loaded down with flavour implications, why not just rename stuff like Space Cube did? Then you can also redefine your new colour pie.

Germany is technically Black/white as it is, they easy access to polish and french vehicles that are mostly monowhite.

IMO---
All nations should be multi colored, like 1 R/G R/G, to help with pie issues.

Maybe there could be some mechanic, or card that adds a 'resource' ability to the game, as an alternative means for victory, hell, a popularity condition as well.

More generic lands that could help all armies, radio station, forward command posts, and Capitals for all nations.

For Jap planes, only certain ones should have Kamikaze, but maybe some legendary Jap generals or Leaders could tap to kamikaze any plane, I liked the idea of Kamikaze having a coin flip as well.

Totally hyped on this set OP, please don't quit.

What would radio station do exactly? I'm thinking it could either give all creatures you control a buff or it could reduce the cost of Propaganda cards which I plan to implement as sorcery and enchantment cards.

Off the top of my head, and I'm no magic expert, but
Radio Station
Land - Base
1 t : target infantry unit gets first strike until end of turn.

Additionally, you could have naval units and air units be better if you control a radio station, like, a bomber plan taps to do 2 damage, if you control a radio station, it does 3, or something along those lines. Communication wins wars.

This is a red card, not green.

Also, why is this affecting my opponent's stuff?

>>24013219
Compared to Angelic Page I think this can maybe be better? Perhaps "Whenever ~ attacks, target Armour creature you control gets +1/+1 until end of turn" as well?

>>24013296
>+1/+0 counter
Not green, and also not used in Magic anymore. Just make it a +1/+1 counter.
