Third round of playtesting done. Draft contained two Naya players, two Jund players, one Grixis, one Esper, one Bant, and one Rakdos deck splashing White. Blue was less-picked than the other colors, but I'm not convinced that's due to power level so much as blue requires greater format knowledge.
(GEN) Gensokyo, Land of Fantasy - Custom Touhou MTG Set
@oni.gay
A project run by @sword.zone to create a custom Magic: the Gathering set in the Touhou universe. The set is accepting art submissions, custom or pre-existing. DMs open to communicate about this.
Second round of playtesting done, albeit at a much smaller scale than the first time. Improvements were made to smooth the early game out and I received the feedback I most wanted to hear: that the format feels 'unique', with an interesting texture to it.
I've had an improvement in my workflow, leading me to be able to update cards more-or-less on the fly as necessary. It's a massive speed-up and makes organizing drafts much faster and easier.
The first draft is complete. I got a lot of info from that first draft, first and foremost being a necessity to smooth out the early game for mana bases and to change how I was doing pack assembly. (Mythic rares showed up a bit too often.)
The design phase is done, and the cards have placeholder art (that I will not share out of respect to the original artists.) The set is now in a draftable state, technically marking the beginning of the Development Period of (GEN) Gensokyo - Land of Fantasy, a custom Touhou Magic: the Gathering set.
