yeah i agree, i think my design is probably what a real Official Cartoon Network Secret Lair would look like but that sort of hyper-deference to the source material doesn't scale up to a full set well

yeah your idea of a seer's vision but its the top card of their library instead of their hands is a cool way of doing that, just hard to make effects like this
September 26, 2025 at 4:57 PM
oh yeah that is really clean, i guess i was assuming champion and offering only ever work with one creature because thats all they've ever printed but theres no reason it wouldnt with two

this back half is what i imagine as "Gem Text", but it would really only work in a small set if it needs to be on every gem. fusion is also basically impossible to adapt in mtg form.

What about something like agonizing memories? she looks at a hand at the start of your turn and puts a card back on top of your library, and then can pay to mill it with her activated ability? it would probably need to also draw your opponent cards when you look to not be oppressive

If it was an Official Steven Universe Set you have a lot of human characters you would want the gems to contrast but in a gem-only set i can see the mechanical argument for making them not artifacts so the robonoids and spaceships and stuff are distinct
September 26, 2025 at 3:49 PM
I can see it a ton of ways, they could be colored artifact creatures, or the first ever non-artifacts with the construct or robot creature types, or maybe they're nonartifact creatures that flip into noncreature artifact gems when they die and then reform so you have to shatter the gem?

yeah either way my main point is that trans women are absent from her work which is not uncommon among queer media but makes this very pointed denial kinda sting

if you did "Fateseal 2 X times, where X is the number of players." it might be a bit more dynamic? that way you could choose to look at the top 8 cards of just one players library and politic with it, or do yourself a ton of times to dig for something. it would take a while to resolve though.

i'm not an owl house expert but raine, masha, the collector and the titan are nonbinary right? the collector and the titan use he/they but both declare themselves genderless in the show but i guess they're not human so you can choose not to count them but then neither is raine
September 26, 2025 at 3:25 PM
also this is just opinion based but shouldn't gems be artifact creatures?
September 26, 2025 at 9:37 AM
I'm not a judge or anything but I don't think an ability is allowed to let you look at cards from each opponent's library simultaneously, for game rules and player complexity reasons. It might have to reveal them like consuming aberration or do them in order like "Fateseal 1 for each opponent"
September 26, 2025 at 9:34 AM
i don't think theres anything wrong with exclusively representing nonbinary women and trans men in your work but i think if you asked rebecca sugar about seeing a character as a trans woman they would have the self awareness to not tell you to fuck off

these hunts are hard as shit dude i just want to grind and oneshot them why are they making me do mechanics

larsa is so cute!!!
August 20, 2025 at 5:32 AM
laughing my ass off at the cutscene where the viera are like "guys we gotta do something or in 20 years final fantasy tactics is going to happen"
August 20, 2025 at 4:47 AM
the circle collar halo thing on the dragons is so soulful and auraful
August 20, 2025 at 4:41 AM
this and tactics have a starkly different moral perspective than almost any other big jrpg about war its very refreshing

itinerary
