Custom Card Thursday #1: When it’s cold outside…

Posted in Vs. System on February 7, 2008 by kaleeshwarrior

I probably should have spent the past hour or so typing up my next Vs. Resolution report. I really should have. That’s why I got on the computer in the first place. But as I scanned my desktop shortcuts for Magic Workstation, my eye caught a different “Magic” computer program: Magic Set Editor. MSE lets you easily build custom Vs. System cards and is a massive timesuck. I decided to procrastinate on my resolution and hit that program instead.

With the past hour behind me, I can say that I’ve built some fun little cards plus I came up with an idea for a new featured article. The current trend on Thursday’s is the Thursday Thirteen where you list thirteen things on some topic. I’ve also seen “Wordless Wednesday” which is when you make a post with just a single image and no words. I don’t like those ideas. I don’t like joining groups and whatnot, I like doing everything on my own terms. So, instead, every Thursday I will be posting at least five new custom Vs. System cards. We’ll see how long this lasts but with my free time, I should be able to keep this up for a while.

Now, I’ve delved into MSE before. I originally downloaded it and used it for some custom Star Wars legendary cards. Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Luke Skywalker, General Grievous, all of them are currently sitting on my hard drive in Vs. System form. However, when I sat down and opened up Magic Set Editor instead of Magic Workstation, I had a different series on the mind and a completely different character.

The series? Batman: The Animated Series. An absolute classic in every sense of the word. The character? The tragic figure known as Mr. Freeze.

Never meant to be so cold
