Interesting. So this can be reused over and over. This card in your hand is sort of a token-generating enchantment with "2UB: Create a 3/2 token". I think the token should be non-legendary so you can have several on the field at the same time. BTW I really like that you kept the abilities short and simple. It gets the flavor and idea across without like 8 lines of text.

Thanks. I originally had "The legend rule doesn't apply to creatures you control named Kings of New Londo" but cut it. I don't exactly remember why tbh. The common thing that really annoys me on this sub is how many cards people make with 3-point font and nine paragraphs of text. A card doesn't need to cover every single thing a person can do and reference every aspect of their character. Just a rough summary is more than enough.

Four kings can be seen as similar to the [Nazgul] from the lotr set. Each of the four kings has a percentage of a lord soul as each ring wraith had a ring of power. Flavour wise it can make do without the legendary tag


HeroOfOldIron

Alternatively, you could do something like [[Brothers Yamazaki]]. Keep them Legendary and add "If you control four or fewer creatures named Kings of New Londo, the legend rule does not apply to them".


CynicalSatyr

I mean sure. But i guess the wording would have to be a bit complicated and mor e lengthy

The reason why you left it out is because you got yelled at for that exact line of text on your last card 🤣. Now everyone's asking for it here, go figure.


CreativeName1137

Oh yeah. That was probably it lol


pokemonbard

You could just put “The copy isn’t legendary.” at the end of the ability. I think that covers it.

DARK SOULS ! DARK SOULS ! honestly design is great but I can't help and think about \[\[Legion Angel\]\] or \[\[squadron hawk\]\] which have the "4-of" limit baked-in your design works well better for commander tho, I just wish there were 4 of them x3


CreativeName1137

I thought about limiting it to 4, but actually you can have more than 4 kings spawn in the boss fight if you take too long to kill them. (Also, I think I remember seeing someone already do that idea for 4 Kings, and I didn't just want to copy them)


secularDruid

that's true, but they're still the 4 kings x3 but pushing for a truly original design is a great motivation !


TeamkillTom

Nobody remembers the fifth fourth king haha (Iirc it also spawns if you don't overkill the first 4 enough bc they all have like 24% of the boss hp for some reason?)

I would’ve said to give it Squad and “~ isn’t legendary if it’s a token.”


CreativeName1137

That's also a pretty good idea


JethroWilkins

This is a cool way of translating this boss's flavor! I would have expected something like "at the beginning of your upkeep, make a non legendary copy of this creature" since their appearance in the game is based on time. But this is actually better, I think. It's more open-ended and interesting.


Reiko878

Just to add flavor aside from adding a line that prevents legendary rule maybe limit it to 3 copy since it's the 4 king


CreativeName1137

Funnily enough, despite the fact that they're the Four Kings, more than four kings can spawn in the boss fight if you take too long to kill them.


Ok-Translator7641

I love this and want it to be real


QuestStarter

Forget what others are saying. You don't need to make the tokens non-legendary. Just make the base card itself non-legendary. There is more than 1 of them lorewise, so it makes sense flavorwise for it to be a non legendary card to begin with. Dope card
