Context matters

Once again, I'm very impressed with Devin Low (Magic's Lead Developer).

He just put up an article that directly mirrors a constant inner dialogue I have while working on my cards:
If somebody sees this one card but not the rest of the set, they'll think it sucks.

And I suppose there's no getting around that. But hopefully they've read Low's article about how you need Context before you can evaluate a card.

Because my set is super-fun (and appears to be) balanced right now!!!

New Set v4

Hi there, I just realized I haven't put up a spoiler and devnotes since before my very first playtest!

Here is the Oracle-style text spoiler.
Here is the HTML version which includes all of my Developer Notes, chronicling how the set has changed over time. If you're familiar with the WotC design articles, you'll find these similar to their Multiverse excerpts (except that mine is the sole, lonely voice to be heard in these Notes...)

I'm also putting permanent links to the most-current spoilers on the side of the blog page.

Playtest 4 with a Sweet Combo

Hi there, just wanted to describe a very cool moment from printrun #4. My brother Gord was in town, so along with brother Ali and the infamous MN we drafted the set.

It felt much more like a real set this time around. I'd put alot of work into moving cards around within the rarities to more closely match official cards, and also tuned the number of enchantments, sorceries, instants, etc in accordance with their color. The draft made it apparent that there were still some issues (a few annoying rares, a few unplayable commons) but overall it drafted/played very well.

Anyway, the best part of it for me was a wicked combo Gord put together during our game. I'm not sure if he drafted it intentionally, but it rocked. I learned about it thus:
Turn 3: Gord played Shepherd of Decay. No problem - I had the higher life total, and some token generation in hand to boot.
Turn 5: Gord played Skyshield Squadron. Hrm, frustrating because I was still holding a mitt full of token generation, but I figured I would win the race if he didn't drop a ton of tokens.
Turn 6: Gord played Suspended Howlers :(
Turn 7: Suspended Howlers triggered; Gord gained his 6 life and Shepherd's 2nd ability came online.

Gord started Shepherding for 4 damage a turn along with ground assault and the game ended miserably for me :)

But it was awesome because I'd never thought about this combo before. I was mainly thinking of the Shepherd in mono-black Husk generating decks...But at the same time, if you read the developer notes for the set, you'll see an awful lot of comments saying "Token Related"...Meaning that there are an awful lot of cards that should fit together without being explicitly planned as such. It was really exciting to see the set-building philosophy pay off!

The Lowdown

Also wanted to make a quick note: Devin Low (the Magic Director of Development) has been putting up some articles that totally kick my ass.

In the past, I never found the Development articles to contain enough technical nitty-gritty to help me out. But Devin's articles have really been an eye-opener. Especially this one - I have been waiting a long time for that article.

These articles gave me the nudge to figure out the problem I described in the last couple posts (why weren't my mechanics showing up in draft??)

Thanks Devin!

Planning Mechanics

I love it when a good plan comes together; I just wish I'd had one a few months ago!

I'm going to reiterate a bit of previous stuff to show why seeding mechanics is so difficult if you don’t have a deliberate strategy.

Previously, I mentioned that I had a ridiculously low quantity of common cards that play into the “token” theme, yet thought I was right on the money. How could I have been so off-track??

If you look at the roadmap for mechanics I gave in the last article, you’ll see that my new target is 38 cards that are part of the “tokens” theme. I also said that I figure roughly 60% of the cards in a theme should be at common. (In this case, I’m actually going with 55% at common.)
So:
Tokens: 38 cards
Target: 55% of these at common
Total target for common cards in theme: 21 cards

How many did I actually have at common?
18 cards.

18 cards instead of 21 – not bad for having worked without a plan, right? And yet something went wrong – we never had enough tokens in our games to use the cool effects that relate to tokens…And I had to dig a bit deeper to find out why:
Tokens theme: 18 cards (yay!)
Cards that generate tokens: 5 (doh!)
Cards that punish tokens: 8 (double-doh!)
Cards that leverage/reward tokens: 5

So my roadmap has to contain more detail than just “qty of cards with mechanic X”. I actually have to identify – for each mechanic – how many cards have the mechanic; how many punish/prevent it; and how many reward/leverage it. And figure out (through trial and error) what makes for a good balance in these categories (generate/punish/reward).

And that’s the real subtlety (or at least it was too subtle for me to realize intuitively):It isn't good enough to say "There are 18 cards in the token theme at common", because it matters what those cards are doing with the theme.

Instead of having 13 common cards that generate tokens, I had only 5! Not only that: instead of a mere 3 that punish (i.e. destroy) tokens, I had 8! Ouch!

I hope this is of some use to somebody out there. I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into my set already, and now I have a bunch more ahead of me to shape it into what I really want it to be. If I’d planned better up front, I would be much further along now.

(Having said all that, I had to go through a certain amount of brainstorming-type design simply to hit on mechanics/themes that I liked enough to build a set around. But I should have switched to “planning” mode way earlier on…)

Seeding Mechanics

In the previous post, I showed how poorly I planned the "seeding" of my mechanics throughout the set. To resolve this problem, I did some Gathering and came up with the following list of "card counts by mechanic" from a few sets:

Bushido (CHK 17/291)
Splice (CHK 15/291)
Arcane (CHK 53/291) (It's actually 68 but I subtracted the number of Splice cards)
Soulshift (CHK 12/291)
Flip cards (CHK 10/291)

Morph (ONS 47/335)
Cycling (ONS 31/335)
"creature type" (ONS 34/335)
Zombie (ONS 25/335)
Soldier (ONS 24/335)
Cleric (ONS 30/335)
Goblin (ONS 23/335)
Elf (ONS 20/335)
Beast (ONS 36/335)

Threshold (OD 44/335)
Flashback (OD 30/335)
Discard (OD 47/335)
Sacrifice (OD 61/335)


Summarizing and percent-izing:
Morph 14%
Cycling 9%
"creature type" 10%
Zombie or Elf or Goblin or etc ~7%
Threshold 13%
Flashback 9%

(I think the CHK counts are so low because a ton of space in that set went to Legend stuff, but it would be a little more time consuming to come up with useful numbers there. In any case, I'm ignoring them as a result.)

I've come up with the following guidelines for myself:

1. Most of the cards that have or cause a particular mechanic will be in common; say 60%
2. Most of the cards the punish or leverage a mechanic will be in uncommon; say 25%
3. Any cards that push the envelope on power level and/or are relatively complex will be in rare; say 15%

And here is my order of importance for the mechanics in my set.

1. Resonate
2. Tokens
3. "CMC matters" (CMC = Converted Mana Cost)
4. Debris (lands as a resource beyond mana generation...)
5. Mindfly (if this is revealed from the top of your library...)
6. +1/+1 Counters

Putting the above together with the fact that I want a 289-card set, I've come up with the following roadmap for "seeding" mechanics:



...And off we go!!!

Theme, or lack thereof

So despite the debacle of the last playtest (organizationally speaking), the guys had fun and generated a ton of useful feedback.

One thing that was interesting to me is that (despite my claiming to have solved this problem) there still were nowhere near enough cards at common to allow players to really use the different themes at work in the set...

So I did some counting...

Cards that generate Tokens
Common: 5/115
Uncommon: 15/85
Rare: 11/65

Cards that punish Tokens
Common: 8/115
Uncommon: 6/85
Rare: 6/65

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAhhahaahahDamnit.

So, 4% of my commons generate tokens (the 2nd most important "mechanic" in the set), and yet I walked into the playtest thinking the idea was well-represented!!!

Suffice to say, I'm about to count up the other themes as well, and have some major work to do before print #4...

:(

Worst Executive Decision Thus Far...

Darn, I never wanted to have a 6-week delay between updates, especially during set development! But the reality is that it's taken every ounce of my free time to keep pushing the set through design, never mind chronicling the whole process.

But here's a quick summary:

1. I did lots of design work to get the planned 289 cards into the set.
2. Printed all cards for use in playtest 3. (I was editing the set right up until the print-shop store closed; I snuck in with 2 mins to spare the night before the playtest.)
3. After printing, but before playing, I found a bunch of issues in the set (too many uncommon/rares, not enough commons; etc.)
4. Corrected as many errors as possible (staying up til 4AM to do so; this comes at a great cost to me as I have a toddler and a newborn!)
5. Reprinted about 30% of the set (printing 3.5)
6. Tried to have playtest 3...

Unfortunately, I made a huge strategic error: I decided we should try to reuse whatever cards we could from existing printruns 2 and 3. I figured we could simply sift through the existing cards from print 2, swap in any card that was changed in 3, then swap in any card that was changed in 3.5 And by "existing cards" I mean "little squares of printer paper cut up into 600 Magic card-shaped pieces and printed in Draft quality".

I totally underestimated how time-consuming and confusing this process would be, and absolutely failed at organizing it. This error cost us 2 of our 5 playtesting hours and most of my playtesters' sanity...And then I realized that this process hadn't accounted for any cards that had been deleted at any time after print 2 or 3 (i.e. more than 80 cards...)

When we finally did get to draft, it was with a horrible abomination of a set that included several versions of many cards. If Magic sets were movie scenes, then this was the transporter-malfunction from Star Trek 1 (or possibly a post-accident Goldblum in The Fly...)

The worst in-game moment was when Luke played a printrun2 Advanced Mindfly common at 3U for 2/2 Flying with an ability, and then on my next turn I played a printrun3.5 Advanced Mindfly rare at 3U for 2/3 Flying with the same ability :(

The one positive note is that despite all of the above, the team claims to have enjoyed themselves :) Thanks guys!!!!! (Mike N, Mike P, Luke, Trevor)

Game Grammar

Just read http://stephanebura.com/diagrams

I don't see myself applying this sort of technology anytime soon, but I'm glad that somebody out there is thinking it through. Every shared symbol system smooths* communication; the question is, will there be anybody with whom to communicate in this language? (Such concerns haven't stopped my sister from devoting her university career to learning Latin...)

I do hope that in the future, hordes of game designers can communicate entire systems and mechanics in a shared language.

Set Review Checklist

As mentioned in last post, I need to be more formal about measuring the power level and quality of individual cards. Coming out of a 4-player draft, I couldn't remember the precise cards each player had in their deck; nor which cards they'd left in the sideboard; and had no clue whether everything was relatively balanced other than the occasional cry of "Not another 7/7 flying demon token!!!"

So here's a checklist I'm going to print up for the next draft. I wrote a Word macro that pulls each cardname out of a database and sticks them - one cardname per row - into this checklist. Then, after players draft and build their decks, I'll get everybody to whip through their stacks of cards and fill this out.

The columns are:
Drafted? Answer "Y" if you drafted this card; leave blank otherwise.
Deck? If you drafted the card, did you include it in your deck? Leave blank if not.
Cool - A rating of 1 to 5 as to how cool the card is (whatever that means to the individual player.) 1 = "What a pile of tripe, I'd rather open One With Nothing in a draft!!!" while 5 = "Sweet! I wish Wizards of the Coast would make cards this good!!!"
Power - A rating of 1 to 5 as to how powerful the card seems; how much you'd like to open it first pick of the draft. This is not as important as the next rating.
Power (After Games) - A rating of 1 to 5 as to how powerful the card actually was during the draft. This isn't a perfect measure, because a good card might not be useful in a given context. But it's a rough idea of whether the playtester's opinion of a given card matches my own.
Comments - Just a place for the tester to leave any remarks about the card. Hopefully these are more constructive than "This sucks" and "This rules"....Although there isn't an awful lot of room to write...

I haven't figured out what to do with all the resulting data yet. Probably I'll manually enter the feedback into a database, then crunch numbers such as "how many cards have cool = 1?".

Playtest 2

Had a great playtest draft a few nights ago. MikeP recruited buddies Luke and Jared to draft the second printing of the set with us.

Jared hadn't played Magic in a while, but got back up to speed pretty fast because he trounced me with a white enchantment-based creature lockdown (Advanced Logistics, Righteous Indignation). It was a scene I'd never really encountered before in a draft deck, which is great! (The fact that he constantly had Wallopin' Websnappers out with Resonate didn't help me much...) We found that Advanced Logistics was overpowered, and it has been changed to this.

I don't remember anything about Luke and Mike's decks, which tells me that I need to become more formalized about tracking the cards people are using, how they feel about them, etc. I think I'll put together a set checklist and print it for each player. Similar to the one you get at a tournament for recording your sealed deck contents. They can check off the cards they select in the draft, rate their initial impression (power level, cool factor), then re-rate them after a few games. Also track their win/loss performance with the resulting deck.

I do know that MikeP brought pain to Luke with Ritual Chanter.

The Chopping Block

Hey guys, here's a quick aside: one of the really neat things I've discovered during the set-design process is how much a certain part of it feels like your own personal Magic draft.

I'm talking about the point in time where you have too many cards for the set, and it's time to cut parts of it away. It's like what a sculptor must feel, given a massive block of stone and a chisel (or whatever tools a sculptor would use in that situation...) You have a great chunk of really nice stone, but much of it is standing in the way of the piece you want the audience to see. You cut and cut, and in so doing, you shape what's left into its purest form.

It feels like the point in a Magic draft when you have 27 good cards, but only need 23 of them for your deck. I'm horrible at making the choice of which cards to cut (I'm usually the last to finish), but it's also a big part of what keeps me coming back for more.

It's fascinating to me to have found almost the same sensation and process here, during set-design. The only difference is that it now carries the additional (and quite stirring) weight of the personal work, attachment, and ownership you feel to the whole thing. You have a much stronger bond with a card you've designed than you do with one you just opened in a pack. The only stronger bond (in Magic design, anyway) is what you feel with your whole set; if cool card X makes set Y worse by its inclusion, then you have to let X go.

Having a "Design File" where you can put all these bits and pieces that you chisel away makes the whole process much easier; even if you never end up using the card down the road, the fact that you *might* makes it easier to put the card aside.

Set structure: Rarity

I managed to drag some of my long-suffering friends into a Magic draft using the new set. From a playtesting standpoint, it went great: some fun things were identified, some un-fun things were identified, and most importantly, a laundry list of changes emerged as a result. My good buddies Mike P and Mike N even designed a few cards during the playtest as they noticed obvious holes that I wasn't exploiting, which was great.

One of the results that most surprised me was how little each of my themes and mechanics became apparent during play. I believe MaRo has said that "it's not a theme if it's not on a bunch of common cards", and that makes sense, but going in to the playtest I had thought that (for example) Resonate was on a bunch of cards. It turns out that there were way too many (common) cards that referred to or were affected by resonate, and not nearly enough that actually had resonate. This was pretty much true for my other two big themes as well: Debris (lands being relevant even in the graveyard); and Husks (piles of 1/1 creature tokens that are overrunning the land.)

What I learned from this is that I need to be more deliberate in putting the set together. For example, there needs to be a structure that dictates how many common white enchantments are in the set; how expensive they are, what rarity, and how many of them should refer to at least one of the set's themes.

For now, I'll start with figuring out the breakdown by rarity, and get into more detail about card types later. I just checked Mirrodin and Champions of Kamigawa, and they have:

286 cards (not incl. basic land)

110 Common : 88 Uncommon : 88 Rare (actually Kamigawa only has 87 uncommons)

So, the same number of uncommons and rares, but 125% as many commons as either of those.
In my set, I'm aiming for the following structure:

265 cards (not incl. basic land)
115c : 85u : 65r

Almost 175% as many commons as rares! What am I doing?? Well, I think WotC includes the amount they do in a set to encourage us to buy more packs: the more rares, the more incentive to buy packs since you only get one rare per pack. (Of course, by this logic, they should have 500 or 1000 rares per set, so that you have to buy thousands of packs if you're trying to complete a set or get 4 of a given rare. But WotC also has to consider the willingness of the players to spend, and I'd bet that they've arrived at these counts thru market research and trial & error.)

My emphasis is not on selling packs; it's on having fun drafts. I want my small group of players to see a good variety of common cards and have a reasonable chance of seeing most of the rares over the course of a few drafts. I don't know how willing the guys will be to keep testing my set - hopefully they love it and we play it a bunch, but it might not gel immediately and they might run out of enthusiasm for testing...At WotC, they can iterate on a design until it's good, because their testers are paid to be there trying things out.

I should say, I didn't pull those numbers out of thin air. Based on what I've got so far, I've decided to go for 47 cards per color, plus 18 artifacts and 12 lands.
47 * 5 = 235
235 + 18 + 12 = 265 cards in the set.

I also will be adding 20 multicolor cards, bringing the total up to 285 cards, but I don't know their final rarities yet.

I think I'll stop there for now, but I'll come back to talk about how I have "slotted" the card types across each color in my set.

Today's Preview Card (subject to continuing development, but this one is pretty popular and not likely to change).

Spoiler for New Set

I won't update this page - future versions of the spoiler will be on separate pages.
