Even sexier version of: [link]===============================================================================
A very heartfelt thank you to for making the awesome custom set symbol.
===============================================================================
Because my custom cards are meant to showcase and promote the awesome artwork, none of the artwork belongs to me. I've listed the artist's name next to the paintbrush at the bottom of the card to give the artist due credit.
Original artwork created by:

I highly recommend checking out their other work.
The artist has granted me permission to use this artwork for this card.

This is a custom card created with Magic Set Editor, which can be downloaded for free here: [link]

Thanks to Wizards of the Coast for creating the game, Magic the Gathering. Magic The Gathering is owned by Wizards of the Coast. [link] Please do not print or attempt to sell this card.
===============================================================================
My approach to card making is art oriented more than anything else because that's what first drew me to the game. When designing a card, my objective is to balance flavor and utility in such a way that it fits into the game seamlessly and would be fun to actually play with.
===============================================================================
I’m a perfectionist at heart, so I gladly welcome any suggestions you have. All of these cards are WIPs (works in progress). But please try to keep your feedback constructive and don’t argue with me TOO much because I’ll stick to my guns on some points. Also keep in mind this is not a cohesive set. It a series of cards doing homage to the artists I admire. Therefore many of them are rares and mythics, and not 50 cent ones either.

just another example of why MTG is superior Every other card game in the world.

In black it will happen more often that you have more creatures then your opponent since it is the kill color of choice.
I would suggest reversing it

Actually that's a good argument for keeping it the way it is since black will be able to kill creatures to keep from drawing too many cards.
But you also see the lockdown aspect of the card: keeping your opponents from playing more creatures. That's a beneficial effect.
I'll see what RAV has to say about it. He usually presents very convincing arguments

Hmm true it would help control just how many cards you draw/life you lose.
Though its a bit against theme to give Black a way of not going excessive.

True! Maybe this should be red/black. Would fit the name better. Man, I just love the puzzle of designing cards.

Hmm the ability would suit blue/black more but the name would suit black/red more X_X dilemmas.

What about graveyard size instead of creatures?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm same issue then the first version. Black has typically bigger graveyards then other decks. It would work better reversed.

You know how dirty white can get

ugh, maybe it should just be white >.<

Loss of life is also a very uncommon effect in white. Honestly it works as it is. Some black decks are not a suicidal as others.

By the effect I would say pure blue or Blue/Black would be fine. That art would not suit white card much.

kinda seems like a better phyrexian arena? though i would say it should be the number of creatures you control - your opponents. it seems much better like that or even "draw X cards where X is the number of creatures you control in excess of 4" or something like that

Hence the link to arena.
But naw.... I want this card to work FOR you but be balanced and dangerous. If you can't field creatures, you need to draw some. Likewise, if you already have a lot of creatures, the draw isn't going to be as useful for you, therefore you won't get as many. This also locks down your opponent so he won't want to play any creatures to give you more cards. OR maybe he'll make a token army and kill you with the life loss.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
or he could just get a bunch of tokens and make you deck out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you would die to life loss first, USUALLY
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yup, just saying this isnt really gonna lock down the other guy that much, he can also hit you with burns or even simply kill this enchantment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. But. Cards in hand are cards in hand. If I have more than 7 cards in my hand consistently for a few turns I usually win using that card advantage. Keep in mind though that I almost exclusively play EDH and have access to all the best combos.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah well im not fond of EDH. maybe if you had a ramp deck and could play several lands on a turn or had enough mana late game where you could play down to 7 or fewer cards each turn this might be ok.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Actually, this could be very useful at times.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I figure it would balance itself pretty well. If you could field a lot of creatures you wouldn't need the card advantage, right? In commander though it could kill you fairly easily at the wrong times. Would be a fun card to play.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, the card balances perfectly. Personally, I've never played with the Commanders. Haven't seen much use in them. Well, except for team matches.
