8-bit Magic: The Gathering

Michael Morris · 01-03-2004, 02:23 AM

Recently there's been a slew of Final Fantasy series MtG cards on WotC's You Make the Card forum. I was inspired to do a few 8-bit cards. I'm posting this referral to the original thread for those interested.

Kudos to Brian and his henchmen for a grand comic that keeps me laughing each week.

I'd like to see those cards used in a real MTG game. A lot of the later graphics don't load... but I think they're mostly pretty amusing. Oh, and EPS is underpowered, dangit!

Also: Brian, can I be a henchman but not actually do something? Kudos are are tasty.

Michael... those are AWESOME! They may not be the most useful in the world (Garland), but they're some of the most awesome Magic cards EVAR. Good job, man.

They're all linked correctly. Try refreshing a couple of times.

Aww man, those are all awsome. I don't play Magic, but I know how to play, and I think Garland should get some bizarre ability to compensate for his high cost, maybe...

Cookies! Tap Garland and pay X mana and two light mana: Garland bakes up a batch of delicious cookies and gives them to the enemy. Can give to as many enemies as X, and each enemy given a cookie is tapped next turn while they eat their cookie.

Also has anyone here heard of Clash of the Webcomics? An online card game recently got four webcomics, Antihero for Hire, StarSomething, RPG World, and Adventureres, to let them make the characters and situations from these comics into cards for the card game. I don't know how it was decided, but maybe sometime in the future they could add 8-bit Theater cards.

If you want to check it out, it's here... http://cmc.redleaf.de/

And yes, I know its down now and I don't know why, but if you want to check it out in the future, that's the link.

There should be a card called "The Quiet Game"...

Enchantment - 2

Can only be played if Fighter is in play. While it is active Fighter can take no actions (tapping, blocking, attacking, etc.)

If Fighter is made to tap, attack or block, returntarget Black Mage to owner's hand and discard The Quiet Game.

"...I am soooo going to win this quiet game..."

Curse that thrice-damned dad of mine! He's only gone and formatted the drive that had my creations on there! I'd created the usual lot, plus the Armoire, Matoya, Giant's Club and who knows what else! I can't remember what I made, but it's all gone now!

During the previous 8BT Magic card creation spurt, I made these cards, but was not a forums member, so they were never shown.

Hope you like them!

It's worse than you think. I lost an entire story because of him once.
