Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business Legion Magic the Gathering Cards

Inspired by a love for the Legion, Magic the Gathering, and The Marvel Magic project, I started working on a Legion set last year. After making one card, life intruded and I stopped.I just started back up a couple of weeks ago. I'll post a couple at a time. Please let me know what you think.

Apokolips



Bgztl



I'm also showing these at a Magic site for rules/wording critiques, so hopefully they will be playable.

I think they're pretty awesome!

Oh awesome! Any character ones down the pipeline? I haven't played Magic since like 1995! I think I still have my cards somewhere...

Opps I meant to say I haven't played since '95...I think I got my drivers license so that kinda got in the way

I used to be a fiend for Magic. I mean fiend. Went to all tournaments in SLC, played at work, and no just on break. A teammate and I would play while working, almost non-stop. Then we'd get a game together at lunch time with two other friends who played. I spent literally thousands of dollars on cards and have a storage shed full of them.

I've really missed play, got away when they started messing with the rules. The same exact reason I stopped playing HeroClix and recently gave up on City of Heroes.

All that being said, Ken, if you came up with a set of Legion cards I'd jump right back in in a heartbeat. And if you made Winath one of the land cards I'd be indebted to you forever!

In fact we've discussed before coming up with a Legion CCG game. Kid Prime had some really good ideas before real life let it fall by the wayside. Maybe we could bring this project back.

Thank you, Luna.

M.E.Lad, yeah, I plan on doing the characters also. I have a total of 13 cards done right now, 15 if you count the two I ended up making into a flip card. 8 lands, 2 artifacts, 1 sorcery, and 2 enchantments. I've decided to try and concentrate on the lands and get them done.

Winath will be one of the lands. And if you still fiend for Magic, check out Magic Workstation . That, a scanner, and Photoshop are what I'm using to make the cards.

next two cards.

Durla


Shanghalla


Back to looking for art for Braal, Brainy's Lab, and Takron Galtos/Labyrinth.

Great additions Ken. And I love the way the artwork meshes with the card design, like it was originally drawn for the cards. Excellent work.

If you need any Legion images all you have to do is ask. I already have almost every Legion appearance ever scanned and stored on an external hard drive. It would only take me a few minutes to upload something for you if you had the reference.

These are great, the Durla card is really nice.

Thanks Lightning Lad. Jealous does not convey the feeling...envy maybe. That must have been a real labor of love getting all of those scanned in.


Thank you Luna. What you do is really great. Your Micros amaze me. Yours is art, mine is basically hackery.

Next two...

Braal



And for Lightning Lord... Winath

Aww, I love you!

But seriously, I'm loving this it's really great!

Wish I could take credit for all of them but some of them have come from 'sharing' scans with other collectors.

And I love the use of the orbital tower for Legion Worlds #2 for Winath.

Awesome! I too was a M:TG fan, and one of my cloests friends still goes to tournaments, and I think is one of the Top 20 players in Australia.
Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I too lost interest with Magic with their fourth or fifth expansion, and their subsequent massive changes to rules that saw all my cards out of date and 'not tournament legal' or some nonsense...
Plus then I think I had my most valuable ones wrapped up in a silk cloth that fell into my washing one day, and suddenly hundreds of dollars of valuable Psionic Blasts, Dopplegangers and Clones (I was a Blue player through and through) were rendered into a pulpy mass. And maybe that was for the best.
The cards are awesome, Ken! Have you worked out the 'stats' for a full set yet, or are you just making them up as you go?
My requests are a Star Boy card (with powers something like 'tap Star Boy and X land - not sure what type of land - to tap X other cards' maybe) and an Xs card... Dream Girl (tap Dream Girl to force opponent to show their hand, or maybe add an X land factor for the number of cards to see?) might be fun too...

"Tap Matter-Eater Lad and X land to eat (destroy) one artifact!" heh heh heh...

That was the first book I looked for a Winath picture, and I really liked it for the card, plus it wasn't hard to clean up. If you can think of another picture (thats not too hard to clean ) please let me know.

Ouch! I lost a Vesuvan almost the same way! I have 20 lands I want to make, and approx. 50 other cards, not including legionnaires, written down. I had thought of a similar idea for Dream Girl and also Naltor, but with looking at the top X cards in an opponents library. I like your Starboy idea.

I actually have that for Matter-Eater Lad.
"2,T: Destroy target artifact."

Next two.

Titan


Trom

Next two.

Colu and Talok VIII

these are amzing please pitch these...to somebody...for real.

These are great, I really like that Talok VIII, you are a great visionary.

Thanks disaster boy. I wish I could, but they're just for fun.

You are way too kind, Luna...thanks.

The next two. Time Institute was a bear getting done.

Time Institute and a flip card...Zerox




And the two cards i made into the flip Zerox
Archmage and Zerox

Cool! Are flip cards a new Magic card invention? When I was a player I don't we had any of these fancy flip cards!

Sorry MELad. I haven't been here in, whoa...2 weeks!

Flip cards are a mechanic that was introduced in the current block of Magic, the Kamigawa block. Although there are only "Creature to Legendary Creature", and "Legendary Creature to Legendary Enchantment" flip cards, I felt it was the best way to represent Zerox.

Two new lands.

Medicus One and Orando



I'm waiting on the balance/wording verdict for Orando, so it might change a little.

Here are a few Artifacts I've been working on.

Anywhere Machine and Flight Ring




Miracle Machine and Nightrobe and Visor



If anyone has a better picture of the Miracle Machine than my doctored up version, I'd be VERYwilling to change it.

Gotta catch up on two weeks worth of reading posts starting tomorrow...just in time for issue #10.

edit - I put the wrong land up.
