Showcase / Re: Foreshadow Prep
« Last post by Ithry on July 12, 2017, 12:19:14 am »Glad you like the set so far! There's 3 cards left to show off, so I hope you like them as much as these! As you can probably figure, at least one of them will feature Sci-Twi!
Though I used to play Magic a ton, including during the Guilds sets, the Foresight mechanic actually never crossed my mind when I was designing Foreshadow! It's funny how similar they are mechanically (and names too)! As you mentioned, they're designed to be stoppable for the most part, especially if you have the hand disruption mechanics in Wonderbolt Nights or Siren's Song.
The flavor text for the Shadowbolts is some of my favorite ones that I've written. They are definitely suspension of disbelief and fourth wall breaking, but the Shadowbolts were a great opportunity to do this kind of flavor! I wanted to give them personality and make sure people knew they were "pre-Friendship Games" Shadowbolts as opposed to any future iterations they might have. It also provides a nice contrast from Sci-Twi's quotes, which are more "traditional" TSSSF quotes. She's caught up in her own business and doesn't have time to fourth wall break. You'll see what I mean in the coming weeks!
If you're coming to Bronycon I'd be happy to part with a set if you'd like to buy one! If you're not able to make it feel free to PM me after the con! I might have some left over!
