Procrast-Nation

These are the remainder of the unposted cards from my first batch.  I am planning a second batch which will focus much more heavily on illustrations done by Scratch Corwood and Pythagorean.  I have a card dedicated to myself, and there will ultimately be a card dedicated to Scratch Corwood and Pythagorean.  These cards will have a heavy mana cost but will be well worth it, similiar to the Legendary Dragons from the magic the gathering card game.   Obviously the cards based on the creators will be the most powerful, and will interact with other cards that involve their contributions to the site.  My card and the fatman card make a very potent combination in a high mana high powered deck.  Anyway, enjoy, and hopefully the next set will be out in the next couple of months.

This installment of cards includes The Fatman Card.  This card works very well with an Avante-Garde deck build since both involve green mana and The Fatman is bolstered by having a lot of creatures in play, something that an Avante-Garde deck almost garuntees.   The rest are just some of the remaining cards to be posted.

Hitler, Barack Obama and some stick figures are all present in these group of Procrast-Nation the Gathering cards.  They all do different things, and I just really don’t feel like writing what.  So yeah, here they are, you can see for yourself.

The images on these cards are taken from Suicidal Betty.  Many of these cards interact with the Suicidal Betty card, some improving it and some countering it.  Suicidal Betty’s mother is a card made purely to counter a player who is using a Suicidal Betty based deck.  When she is in play, Suicidal Betty cannot harm the player, and this is devastating for a Suicidal Betty deck player because she is the main damage dealer in that deck build.  Furthermore, she has protection from black, and Suicidal Betty decks tend to be primarily black, so they will have a difficult time dispatching her.  The cards that buff Suicidal Betty decks either generate swamp energy or allow you to summon Suicidal Betty more easily.  The entire deck is really aimed at getting Suicidal Betty on the field and boosting her ability to do damage.  Also, Suicidal Betty’s kitchen is a very important land because it generates both types of mana necessary to put Suicidal Betty into play.  Please note that Suicidal Betty herself was put up in a previous post that I’m too lazy to look up.

For this installment I am going to do a hodge-podge of different cards, including some Blue Velvet themed cards.  Enjoy.

Here are another set of Procrast-Nation the gathering cards.  The theme for this set is cards with illustrations by Scratch Corwood, though there were only six remaining that he illustrated to be posted, so I threw in another random card at the end was well.   There is no one particular strategy which these cards are all a part of, and they can be used in a variety to situations.  Whatever, no one really cares about the text anyway, so I shall not blabber on.  Here are the cards:

In this section, I figured I would focus heavily on the Avant-Garde type creatures.  These are strange drawings, primarily ones I have done on paint or doodled, and I use the term Avant-Garde sort of interchangeably with poor quality.  Anyway, these cards tend to be creature types, and some grant positive benefits for all Avant-Garde type cards.  Avant-Garde Renaissance is an amazing card if you build a deck out of these creatures, as it  makes them more powerful and cheaper at the same time.  Also, the Mutant Wet Nurse is another great card if someone is playing with a primarily Avante-Garde deck.  One playing with these creatures would want to focus primarily on forest and island mana when adding lands to their deck.

The third installment of the Procrast-Nation the Gathering cards.  While some of the cards  in this series interact with each other specifically, others aren’t a part of a particular deck build.  They are simply free floating cards which could be helpful in a variety of situations.  The following is a sample of some of these random assorted cards.

Trying to find something to take my mind off of my ailment whilst I wait for medicine to kick in, I figured I’d do another Procrast-Nation the Gathering post.  Warning, content my vary and be subpar due to fever delusions and general headache.

So, as promised, I will slowly reveal information about the set in each part.  In this part, I figured I’d outline some very broad strategies.  Suicidal Betty is an important card, because many cards interact with her.  Some are empowered when she is in play, some empower her, and some, such as her mother, are used to counter her.  Some of these interactions are more subtle, such as Suicidal Betty’s kitchen which spawns both colors of mana necessary to put her into play, or Suicidal Betty herself, whose mana generated when tapped is sufficient to activate overflowing toilet (which will be premiered in a later post.

There are also strategies for Avante-Garde Creatures, strategies involving The Fatman, and strategies involving Scratch Coorwoods occupation comics.  This shall be detailed later.  Without further adieu, the cards.

I worked on this project over the summer, but never quite finished.  For a bit of background, there is a very popular collectible card game known as Magic The Gathering.  Since 1993, they have regularly released sets of cards ranging from 100 to 200 cards a piece (roughly) that can be played in the game.  Each set generally has a specific theme and revolves around one aspect or time period within the Magic universe.  Many applications have been released on the internet that allow people to create their own unofficial sets.  The cards look pretty similar and use a sort of form except for the actual text written on them and the picture they use.  I figured, hey, why not create a Procrast-Nation Magic Card Set?  So I started.  I had originally planned on making over 120 cards, but I sort of petered out at 70.  Instead of waiting to finish the set and possibly never doing so, I figured I’ll release what I have now, which is pretty substantial and awesome, and I can always come back later and finish it.

The set would actually be fairly playable, and may of the cards interact with other cards from the series.  Some of them may be slightly over or under powered, I never completely finished balancing the set out, but overall its pretty decent.  There are a good cross section of cards of the five mana types.  In terms of card category, the set is heavily creature based, as the  visual content we have created on the blog was most conducive to this.  I will be releasing 7 cards per post in a 10 post series, starting with this post.  With each post, I will also write a little bit more about the set and where I was going with it, plus possible strategies I envisioned people would use when creating a Procrast-Nation deck.

To start, here is a card based on one of Scratch Corwood’s sketches.
