I strongly urge designers to mock up stickers so they can get an idea of how the card looks. First, it aesthetically makes the card look bad. This is problematic for several reasons. IвЂ™m going to break it down as this problem shows up in several different ways:The card has too many abilities - For some reason, new designers feel a great need to take all their cool ideas and put them on the same card. Mistake #1 - The Card Is Too ComplicatedThis is far and away, hands down, the most common mistake made by novice designers.

If, for example, you have a neat new creature ability, you want the player to spend his energies thinking about that. More often than not, the more popular cards are not in our tiniest font sizes.Third, too many abilities вЂњpull focus.вЂќ In design lingo what this means is that it keeps the player from focusing on the aspect of the card you want them to focus on. The best example of this is for you to think of the Magic cards you like. While this okay occasionally on a random funky rare, the average Magic card needs to be simple and straightforward.

For that reason, a designer should not use вЂњadd-onsвЂќ unless they contribute enough to game play. In addition, the ability is very swingy, meaning that once in a blue moon the card just gets randomly hosed.As I talked about above, excess wordiness is bad. ThereвЂ™s some flavor to the ability maybe the Dragon is afraid of Knights and 'hides' from them, but it just isnвЂ™t going to matter in the vast majority of the games. As an example, imagine a Dragon that, In addition to its вЂњnormalвЂќ abilities, didnвЂ™t untap whenever a Knight was in play.

And donвЂ™t jump in and explain your card. If the people you show your cards to consistently get confused by the same card, that1s a sign that the card is too complicated. Good design leans towards simplicity not complexity. And sometimes, I never figure it out. If the ability never or very seldom comes up, it usually isnвЂ™t worth the space on the card.The card is too hard to understand - A very common response to reading a card file from a new designer is, вЂњHuh?вЂќQuite often IвЂ™ll have to read a card multiple times to understand what it does.

And two, cards that require players to remember a detail unimportant enough that they are not constantly reminded. The two biggest mistakes in this area are: One, cards that require a player to remember too many different things. That said, there is some valuable design space that requires memorization. If the card canвЂ™t explain itself, itвЂ™s inherently flawed.The card has too many memory issues - As a general rule of thumb, cards that force a player to remember something are troublesome.

Let's walk through some choices:Basilisk Ability (Destroy any creature damaged by this creature) - This ability has synergy because hitting first is extra valuable when you get to destroy the creature before it can hit back. Now, when I look to the green ability, IвЂ™m looking for something that has synergy with first strike. For the white ability, I choose first strike. Also suppose I want to give it one white ability and one green ability. Remember, every card doesnвЂ™t need multiple abilities on it, but if you choose to use more than one, the abilities have to interconnect in some way.For example, letвЂ™s suppose I wanted to design a multi-color white and green creature.

Alas, poor Ranger en-Vec.Rootwalla ability (+X/+X once per turn) - This has synergy as an increase in power increases the strength of first strike.Tap for mana - This is anti-synergistic as there is no easy way to make use of both abilities on the same turn. While the two have slightly different utility, they overlap enough that they arenвЂ™t particularly interesting together. The reason is that first strike is an ability which helps keep a creature alive in combat. First strike is sort of irrelevant against blue decks as traditionally blue has weak creatures to start with.Regeneration - This ability is actually non-synergistic. Cannot be countered is good against blue decks.

Way too often when IвЂ™m looking at cards by a new designer, I see cards we simply would never make. Mistake #3 - The Card Ignores Basic Design Rules of MagicThis mistake plays into the major theme of вЂњMaking MagicвЂќ: Respect the rules. Not the best fit, but okay.As you can see, the higher the synergy, the better the overall card will feel. First strike enhances a creature in combat and untargetability lessens a creatureвЂ™s chances of being destroyed outside of combat. Also, we tend to put trample on big creatures and first strike on small and medium creatures.Untargetability (Cannot be the target of spells or abilities) - This has a little synergy. While thereвЂ™s no great synergy, itвЂ™s not anti-synergistic.

Artifacts have generic mana costs. If itвЂ™s an obvious mechanic that youвЂ™ve seen done in other colors, odds are youвЂ™re about to make a mistake.Card Type Rules - Each card type has certain rules about how it functions. If itвЂ™s a new, unexplored area, thatвЂ™s great. When you design a card that seems like a nice simple card that does something the color hasnвЂ™t done before (or at least hasnвЂ™t done since MagicвЂ™s early days), think twice about why it hasnвЂ™t been done yet. Magic colors are clearly defined. ItвЂ™s because the game shouldnвЂ™t have them.Here are the major rule-breaking categories:The Color Wheel - This is usually the biggest culprit.

ItвЂ™s that rules shouldnвЂ™t be broken if they donвЂ™t need to be. Your non-flying male angel, for instance, might not be a perfect fit.The point of this category is not that designers canвЂ™t break rules. These choices were made consciously, so be careful next time you design a card that flies in the face of history. Some of this flavor has worked its way into card mechanics.

When you design a card, check with someone you know thatвЂ™s good with the rules. This mistake is about cards that simply donвЂ™t work under the current existing rules. Mistake #4 - The Card DoesnвЂ™t Work Within the RulesTo be clear, IвЂ™m not talking about cards that attack virgin areas of the rules.

If this isnвЂ™t something youвЂ™re good at, use your friends that playtest the card. (Lord knows IвЂ™ve made my share of crazy overpowered cards.) But, if youвЂ™re serious about trying to design your own cards, I would recommend attempting to be somewhat close to reality. I listed this last because I think this is one of the least important design mistakes. Mistake #5 - The Card Is Undercosted, Overpowered or Simply вЂњBah-rokenвЂќI understand that no one likes to make a weak card, but too often when looking at design files of new designers, I see cards that arenвЂ™t in the right stratosphere of power.

That said, I need to stress that for legal reasons I do not read unsolicited card submissions sent to me in either my email or snail mail.
