Sins Unleashed - A Custom LoR Expansion (6/1)

Sorry, had technical difficulties about something. This is the OFFICIAL place where all the cards will be posted. The other was unorganized, so I scraped it. Had a little issue with pictures. Sorry about that! 

 Anyway, welcome to the first custom Legends of Runeterra Expansion! Like on here and Reddit. Me, with help from KANSAS, are leading the charge to make more custom LoR cards on this site. If you want to help more with this project, like making a region's cards or just singles, PM me! Anyone is welcome.  No new regions or keywords this time,  just the cards. There are custom champions here to showcase the sins, not any in LoL. Feedback is very much appreciated. It is my first time and I want to improve it.

The story here is Ezreal, the master of activating traps due to relics. accidently released the 7 mortal sins onto Runeterra.  Well, 5 at least. They now have rooted themselves to a region that fits them. They corrupt them with their evil. They first take human-like garbs to best fit it, but as they get more powerful, they reveal their true forms. Hope you enjoy this, it is been fun to make.

I'll tell KANSAS. Thanks!

Looks cool so far, but minor question/suggestion why is fiddle Noxus? isn't he camped out in Demacia ATM? Or is this just a case of Teemo selling drugs in P&Z?

Envious Glare is very over costed. As shown by pilfered goods and Chempunk pickpocket, cards from the enemy deck are worse than cards from your deck. Given that it also grants Fleeting, it becomes worth even less. At 5 Mana, you would expect to draw 2-3 cards, not 1. You can also compare this to Fading Memories in order to see that it does not need to be 5 Mana. If I were you, I would either reduce the cost to 0, or make it copy 3 Spells. Since they are granted Fleeting, it is unlikely that you’ll be able to play many of them anyway, so 3 Fleeting spells will realistically be more like 2 Spells.

For Irwa, I would actually suggest making her specify 3 or less Cost Spells, so that she’s more likely to give you playable Spells. Also, you could make her “Play: Create a random spell in hand for each Piltover card in the top 5 cards of your deck. Grant them Fleeting” to make her effect more consistent than Allieganc. 

Also, Jump Start might be better as 5 Mana Slow “Discard your hand to summon an Illegal contraption” so that it could be used with Jinx in order to empty your hand. As it is right now, it doesn’t seem very powerful, since a discard deck usually wants to deal direct damage rather than summon a medium size unit in the late game.

For LoR card maker I just zoom out so that it shows the download button, then I download it and host the image on imugr.

Just FYI, I have found a fix that allows you to download the cards from the LoR Card Maker without needing to snip them.

Put your browser into full-screen mode with this button before you download.

I have no idea why this works, but it does.

Thanks a lot! I updated Fiddlesticks and now it doesn't look so fuzzy.

Shivershine hasn't messaged me back about it yet, but if I could design the Shadow Isles Cards this is what they'd be:

For some reason it won't let me upload more images, but "Coin" would be a token spell that is 1 Mana Burst Speed with the text "Toss 1 to draw 1." I chose Greed as the Sin for the Shadow Isles because SI already has a theme of destroying their own units for power, which seems similar to Greed. 

I updated the cards to be based around Gluttony instead of Greed, changed several cards, and added some new ones!

Here's the link again:

In terms of balance, I made the Coin token into Delicious Meal:

This version is a little more balanced at 2 Mana and also giving a slight heal, which helps keep Tahm Kench alive longer to trigger his support effect more. I could also remove the Toss, but I wanted it to help Maokai decks.

My goal for the Shadow Isles cards was to support 3 Main Archetypes:

1. Ephemerals

2. Destroying Allies (for Tahm Kench, Neverglade Collector, The Undying, and They Who Endure)

3. Maokai Toss and Sea Monsters

There are also several other minor archetypes that these cards could support, such as Spell Decks or Twisted Fate draw decks. 

Yeah I thought it was kind of weird, but I couldn't really find better art at the time. I thought it would be okay because people have used Runeterra and MtG art for Hearthstone cards and no one minded.

I really like the cards, I think gluttony fits Shadow Isles really well in a kind of disgusting way. I do feel however that a couple of cards simply don't fit the theme. A lot of the Ephemeral cards are cool, but I would put more focus on "eating" stuff. I would replace Haunted Bastion and War Baron with some other cards that care about killing your stuff to restore health/get bigger, or maybe something that generates more tokens for you to eat. You could do something that gets more Health when it kills an enemy unit, or maybe you could have a chef guy who makes a food unit that gives your minion stats when it dies. 

Thanks for the advice! I did make the Ephemeral cards without Gluttony in mind, so it's probably a good idea if I remake them. I think I could change War Baron to give itself the stats of what it kills (like it's eating the units). I can also replace Haunted Bastion with something that Obliterates Delicious Meals in hand for some kind of effect. Thanks for the feedback!

Also, do you agree with Demonxz95 that the art of Delicious Meal needs to be changed? 

I created some new cards based on your feedback:

Initially, Devouring Baron gained the stats of the units, but then I decided to change it to gain the stats only as health so that it wouldn't get insane amounts of Power when combined with something like The Undying. Also, the Skill would be at Slow Speed, so the opponent could interrupt it by removing Devouring Baron (the effect would not still destroy allies).

Which version of Delicious Meal synergy is better? I think Selfish Devourer would be a very unique effect, but Voracious Eater fits the theme of eating things better. I think Binge Eater would also be a very interesting card because it motivates you to save up your Delicious Meals for a long time and casts them all at once, making the heal likely a lower impact. I think it would be balanced as a 6 cost unit, but I'm not quite sure. It also lets your opponent respond so I think it would be balanced. I also like The Eternal Hungerer, because it requires you to strategically plan out when to use your Delicious Meals, and seems playable without the synergy. 

Here are some cards I made around the idea of eating enemies:

I do like the design of Bloody Butcher since it is sort of like Fearsome in that it motivates your opponent to block it with a 4+ Power unit. The Ravenous Hound and Whetter of Appetites are both meant to help make the Bloody Butcher work. I wanted to do something with summoning Vulnerable units for the opponent, but LoR card maker doesn't have the new keywords (if there is a better site to use, please tell me). 

Here's my idea for Tahm Kench's signature Spell:

I wanted to capture some of the essence of Tahm Kench's abilities while making a Spell that synergizes with the version I made of him. This Spell would help Tahm Kench avoid dying by letting him choose what unit blocks him. Also, since I anticipate a Tahm Kench deck would work well with Vulnerable in Bilgewater, I expect the Capture ability would trigger somewhat reliably. The main issue I see is that I can't add the Vulnerable keyword to the card text, so it will look a little strange. 

@CursedParrot, my favorite of those cards are Bloody Butcher, Devouring Baron, The Eternal Hunger, Selfish Devourer, and Ravenous Hound. 

I am not too sure about An Acquired Taste only because Shadow Isles doesn't have anything else that cares about Vulnerable. So to be able to capture a unit you would either need to play another region or hope your opponent is playing vulnerable creatures.

10/29 Update:

• removed Piltovian Pickpocket.
• Added Thirst For War and Fiddlestick's Thirst for War  by KANSAS.

Shadow Isles might be added later.

Photos are acting up again. Had to delete cards I just made. 

Shivershine will update the post sometime later, but here are the Shadow Isles cards:

One small thing, Tahm should have a keyword. Every other champion in the game does. I would suggest something defensive so that you can attack with him every round to trigger his ability and it won't be too easy for your opponent to block and kill him.

I think Tahm Kench’s Support ability counts as a Keyword, given that Shen has Support and no other keyword. I thought about giving him Challenger, but I wanted him to be a little vulnerable to high attack blockers. He does also cast Delicious Meal though, which can heal him.

You can also cast Unholy Hunger or Thick Skin on him to give him more defensive ability.

Which Keyword do you think would be best?

Looking at all of the keywords, I think Regeneration fits the best. If you were to do that though I would recommend reducing his Health to 5.

Update: All Shadow Isles cards are now here. Thanks Parrot!

Think I fixed it.
