Yuki has pointed out this thread to me, and it interests me. I'd like to hear your opinion about making a DoTA block(whole playable sets). Easily done with some programs, we can eventually play online via some freeware. Me and probably Yuki are willing to organize this. What say you? Of course, I wish to have your cooperation and would take heed to my suggestions, and myself back at you. So, what do you think?

Well, it definitely seems possible... About the playable part, I think it would need some utility spells... I was thinking maybe cards could be made to DotA skills (you know, for example, Dragon Slave. mana cost 1R, deal 3 damage to target creature or player...).
And if this comes to be, then you asked what I think... Well, I think it's great, my two favorite games in one!

Yes, that's all in the plan, in due time. Tanks for the feedback.

Ok, as for progress, I'm currently making something I call a Flavor Profile. It's a list of the heroes with a brief flavor description which includes his capabilities, as well as the color a hero would lean closest to. By all means, if you wish to stray from it, do so. Just make sure it's a just reason(like a flavor point I wasn't able to highlight, for instance).

This allows for better character creation. Also helps avoid extremely small font(usually appears with cards that try to cram every dota ability of the hero in it, no offense meant to people who posted such cards previously). Heroes can even be made without being a direct reference to spell X. Kero spells are also a good source of noncreature spells.

As an example:

Sand King - Insect:
Carries a potent toxin in his stinger that causes victims to expel corrosive chemicals upon death.
Expert at burrowing, attacks by impaling his enemies from below.
Flavor color: Red

Choose one of the flavor points as a focus for the card. Take note of the suggested color, though if you feel another color is better, then fine. Again, as long as you can say why.

Kool, DotA MtG... count me in... as for the card making software... its called Magic Set Editor. The one that ash3n-shug4r uses is Dante's Card Maker

@quickbrownfox: About the cramped cards... hehe ALL ME! >.< I only made them that way for eye candy, not for realism... i never intended them for actual play, just my own eye candy.

I can remake them if you guys want less of a strain on ur eyes but otherwise i think they should be fine...

I'd like to help in making the cards that we'd be using in this freeware DotA MtG game if thats possible XD

@ash3n-shug4r:
SK: My turn! ^^

I'm still making up flavor profiles. 1/10th done, roughly.

And yes, If you'd like to try your hand at card making, just search for magic set editor on the net and get the application. Easy enough to understand and better results than the online card maker.

@TwistedFirestarter:
Another profile sneak peek...

Skeleton King - Skeleton Lord:
Relentless in battle, he will rise again if killed.
An undead commander whose army feeds on the fallen.
Flavor color: Black

King isn't used as a creature type in Magic, hehe. We use the broader, yet similar Lord. Also, the reason why I don't want it too bulky is also for flavor text space, hehe.

Once I comlete the profiles, I'll post them all, as well as the set components. Unfortunately, not every hero can make it into the First set, so we'll decide later.

Also, Common/Uncommon creatures are needed. Mostly just grab units from WC3 in general, needs to diversify them as well, or we'll run out of material.

@L:
What do you mean?

Another profile, I suppose, to pass the time. Thinking is hard...

Axe - Demon Berserker:
A bloodthirsty predator with a contagious thirst for battle.
An imposing figure who causes the enemy's urges to destroy himself.
Flavor color: Red
