We’ve got Gaby back on the pod for more live designing! You don’t need to know anything about the game to listen… we cover what you need! We take a look at the cards for Halsin, Minthara, and Jaheira from the Magic set and give each a facelift to match them to their personalities in the videogame.
Halsin
Original card:
- Burly, wise, chill guy
- First met shapeshifted into a cave bear
- Cave bear is a special druid for he has that other druids in the game don’t
- Looking to heal the curse on the area known as the Shadowlands
- Is technically in charge of the emerald grove but is chill about it
Our redesign:
Minthara
Original card:
- Stern, deep voice commander sent to marshal goblin forces to overrun the druid grove
- A miniboss for most players. You can take the evil route and team up with her. She’s a Paladin
- Brands her minions to better command them
- After saving her, find out she was brainwashed!
- But even after undoing brainwashing, she is still super evil 🙂
- Noble background
Jaheira
Original card:
- Carryover character from BG1+2
- Well known hero and leader, has been a Harper for a century
- Cutscenes really like to focus on her twin scimitars
- Also uses entangling vines in a cutscene and uses deception to try to feed you truth serum. Has spy craft skills, will ambush, etc.
- Soldier background
Our version:
