Parameters:
Width: 120
Height: 40
Defect chance: 10%
AOE: 3 -> 2
Note that this image appears a bit less noisy than the previous. The decreased area of effect means fewer cells turned white by virtue of being sort of near a clump of white cells.

Parameters:
Width: 120
Height: 40
Defect chance: 5% -> 10%
AOE: 3
This looks pretty similar, but notably more dense. Increasing the defect chance (to a point) will increase the density of white cells. Note that white cells largely still end up in clumps,

"But what does it look like?" I hear you ask. Well here's an example.
Parameters:
Width: 120
Height: 40
Defect chance: 5%
AOE: 3
It produces these clusters that look pretty neat. It kind of looks like some sort of landmass, or maybe the texture of leaves in a tree.

An algorithm runs through the matrix, starting from [0,0] through [0,n], then [1,0] through [1,n], etc. all the way to [m,n]. At each cell, set its color to a randomly selected color inside the AOE by AOE square containing the given cell in its bottom right corner. I made an ms paint image for this.

I made a purple card for my caves of qud mtg set because its april fools day, but the more I look at it the more I like it

Lastly, here's a common removal spell for limited. Heavily inspired by Eyeblight's Ending.
That's all for templar week. Check my profile for 7 barathrumite cards. Next week I'm doing a very different kind of faction

This might be my favorite qud design so far. The rules text is so brief but it encapsulates the idea of a becoming nook so well. Also it seems like it would play in a super interesting way

The secondary theme for the templar is Human Typal, this is a currently very overpowered signpost uncommon for the templar. But I think the design resonates very well so I could keep this in at a higher rarity.

The main mechanic for the templar is Implants, represented by equipment which have the Implanted keyword, allowing them to enter already equipped to a 2/2 Human Knight.
Implants also have a very steep equip cost, with a much cheap "equip human" cost in order to represent that theyre a truekin thing

Putus templar MTG cards:
Because there is no leader of the putus templar in-game (maybe there is one in lore that idk about), I decided to make the leader a wraith-knight summoned by a phylactery squire.

My first thought was Circling Vultures and Faerie Macabre, then I saw circling vultures was from weatherlight.

Lastly, this chromeling was perhaps abandoned in a rust well. You can scrap it for parts, or you can restore it to its former glory or beyond (8/8).
This concludes Barathrumite Week. Next week is the Putus Templar.

The secondary mechanic for Barathrumites is Charge Counters, as seen on Sparafucile. Chromelings utilize charge counters with their "overcharged" ability, which lets the charge counters act as +1/+1 counters. (7/8)

Sparafucile is a skilled "harm-artisan" who can get a little more juice out of each piece of junk, and turn that into power and toughness (6/8)

Although there's no built-in way to identify these cards, they can be identified with a card like Examine. (5/8)

But that's not the only way Junk is used. With the "unidentified" mechanic, you can play certain artifacts "unidentified", forgoing their intended purpose to simply use them as junk. (4/8)

But how will you get enough artifact tokens to tap and/or sacrifice? Well, Junk tokens from fallout are back. This Barathrumite Arconaut can rummage up some junk whenever they attack. I should note that any flavor text comes directly from the game, none of it was written by me. (3/8)

This is their leader (and namesake), Barathrum. He's the leader of a faction of tinkers so of course he needs to have an ability that lets him tinker. But simply putting Tinker on a creature would be too strong, so it's a mix of Tinker and Whir of Invention. (2/8)

A couple of Caves of Qud mtg designs based around the mechanic "Unidentified", which allows you to play certain artifacts as Junk tokens which can be scrapped for a card. Kind of like cycling meets morph.
