Arcane Scrying dosn't scry. Should we change the name?
Should Fatestealer say "skip each step and phase not chosen this way"?
(I'm still going off the NGAcard search for Starstill 1)

*"To YMTC it up" means to design cards that have value mostly from a design perspective. i.e. you would put them in a case under glass in your living room and visitors could remark upon the wonderful design principles, with nobody ever worring if the cards are annoying/pointless/confusing in actual play

Preferred Pronoun Set:
And that, after seven years, brings Starstill to a close!

The entire set can be viewed here.

• Went through the entire set card by card and fixed countless typos, formatting inconsistencies, and minor wording issues. (This took me all day.)

• Changed all instances of "target creature or player" to "any target"

• Restored Consortium Customs to Mown's original design, with the Relics changed to Clues and no other balance changes.

• Swapped the rarities of Solar Flare and Opaline Desire.

• Moved Scavenger's Sack and Composite Construct from Uncommon to Rare.

• Removed a "You may" from Blizzard of Vicissitudes.

• Added a "you may" to Sparksigil Apprentice.

• Bumped Knifetail Waylayer from a /3/1 to a /4/1 to differentiate it from Sandspire Scout.

• Made Holistic Approach scry for artifacts and gain life for enchantments instead of the other way around, because I thought it made more flavorful sense that way.

• Added the following flavor texts:

Zeal: Elori's sunchasers are not known for their sloth.

Direholm Doppelganger: Some adapted to the changed environment. Others usurped the corporeal forms of those who managed to survive.

Ice-Ridden Shambler: To be as cold as a corpse in Direholm is redundant.

Weight of Despair: The bindings of Elori are too much for nonbelievers to bear.

Snowstorm Shadow: The whisper on the wind was the last thing Jorin ever heard.

Winterplague Wendigo: In the wendigo's shadow
—Direholm idiom meaning "doomed"


Frostblight Shadowwalker: "I'd say to keep your eyes peeled, but if you see one coming, it's already too late."
—Anjara, Direholm ranger


Manaruption: Viashino wish upon a pillar of flame bursting from the ground the same way one might wish upon a star on a plane where stars are wont to move.

Sandspire Scout: "'Scout' is a bit of a misnomer. The Viashino word directly translates to 'one who kills first.'"
—Seliron, to Aloise


Moss Giant: Few sights are more intimidating than the ground itself getting up and walking at you.


• Attributed the quote in Icecore Golem to "Mown, Frostblight scavenger" in honor of his designing the set's first card.
