I would disagree to some extent. But thanks mostly to YouTube everyone is obsessed with sound being the most important thing about their build. If a board sounds great but is shit to type on it’s still a shit board. What irks me is that so many designers make boards with shit sound profiles because they know they can just throw in a tape mod and some foam to make up for their shoddy work.

This is so much better than the "licensed" Kamigawa set. A couple points of constructive criticism:

  • The "tap symbol" tab should really be part of the base set. It's weird that most other mods in the base set have a themed legend, but that one doesn't (seems to be there in the render tho?). I do appreciate that you included it in the 40's compatibility.
  • Following the same vein on mods, it would be great if you could offer symbol-only mods for those that don't want to dive fully into the Magic-themed legends.
  • If the point is to stick to a pre-Mirrodin aesthetic, I would probably reconsider "equip" as a mod legend. That keyword didn't exist until Mirrodin and is not considered part of the "older" age of Magic.
  • Might be cool to consider making the number legends with a circle around them to call back to colorless mana costs.
  • I'm sure there is probably some "mandate" from high up that you have to have the branded Enter keys, but it would be much more nostalgic for Enter to be something like "Resolve" or another older keyword.
