Description I stumbled across a series of
very - um- interesting magig cards from [link]

Was a big fan myself back in the old days, so I
decided to do my own hommage to this great game.

This was totally fun to do - and a good practice
for working with colors in photoshop.
She looks a lot like Eve Ellis for no particular reason,
and I tried the style of Douglas Shuler, one of the original Magic illustrators, for a most authentic feeling.

Thx for looking and
feel free to comment

Or we could just forget the game and kidnap

SeleenArt In reply to TomboyJanet [2016-05-04 21:17:45 +0000 UTC]

Or do both. First kidnap all her damsel cards in play, and after the game kidnap her

or just tie me up and taunt me like "aren't you going to play something?" and make me have to play like putting the cards down with my teeth

Nice idea! But it may be difficult to play with your teeth when you are gagged, hehe.

Willburforce [2013-09-16 22:05:14 +0000 UTC]

My buddies and I are planning on making a mode of play built around this card

Basically add:

1. If you controll "Damsel in Distress", you cannot lose.  If you do not controll "Damsel in Distress", You cannot win.
2. Thinking about either making her a) Indestructible with Shroud
                                                  b) Shroud with "'Damsel in Distress' is always tapped"
                                                  c) "'Damsel in Distress' cannot attack or block. If a player causes damsel in distress to be removed from the field of play
                                                     (Sent to the graveyard, exiled, or removed from the game) that player loses."
This is all still really rough, so if you have any ideas msg me!

SeleenArt In reply to Willburforce [2013-09-23 21:53:51 +0000 UTC]

Nice concept.

I had the idea of several damsel cards with slightly different abilities.
Like making "damsel" a new creature type.
Also thought about creating "villain" cards, that benefit from its player tapping or taking control of damsel cards.

Willburforce In reply to SeleenArt [2013-09-24 03:20:45 +0000 UTC]

That would be a neat game to play.

By buddies and I play all the time and we are exploring EDH right now but I like checking out alternate modes every once in a while.

Looking like Eve Ellis is no bad thing, indeed; and I like the idea. Paine92's account seems to be shut down, sadly, so I can't refer back to your inspiration.

Brings back memories...

(that would be memories of "Magic," not kidnapping, in case I needed to clarify )

I'm not sure of the wording on this card. Part of it reads that only the active player may steal her (and only if that player is male). Read another way, any player may be the thief. Also ambiguous is if this is triggered once per player (where active player gets final choice to take her back). I read it as one of two ways in Oracle text:

At the beginning of an opponent's upkeep, that player may pay (2). If he or she does, that player gains control of Damsel in Distress.
--The damsel moves slower, often being in control of the player that can't be attacked.

(2): Gain control of Damsel in Distress. Any player may play this ability. Play this ability only during an upkeep.
--The damsel may be stolen several times in a turn, but only during the upkeep step. I like this one more.

Thats interesting.
I didn't think very carefully about
the wording when I made the card.
I think I intented it to be your first version,
but I like the second one too.

Fun, and almost good to actually play I'd probably make it a 0/4, or even 0/5, though

SeleenArt In reply to eawyne [2010-01-26 13:36:17 +0000 UTC]

You'r probably right about her Toughness.
Holding a sexy damsel as hostage is a strong way to
block your enemy, after all.

SideLine [2009-10-16 23:12:08 +0000 UTC]

you have definitely succeeded in getting the flavour of the old cards. This cards fits perfectly into the Arabian Nights expansion ( the very first expansion ) The text font and mana symbols are spot on. As a fan of Douglas Shuler's artwork, you have done a spot on imitation.

love this card.

You'r probably right, but I'm out of the game for too long to know.
Just thought white quite fitting for a virtuous damsel, and it matches nicely with her cleave gag, too

crinos43 In reply to SeleenArt [2009-01-14 18:10:22 +0000 UTC]

The rules lawyer inside me must do this.

Creature -- Human Damsel
2: Gain control of Damsel in Distress. Any player may use this aiblity but only during their upkeep.

Still though, nice card. I could use about four.

SeleenArt In reply to crinos43 [2009-01-14 23:38:26 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much, but

NerdTalk on;

as you can see from the card frame this is a
card from the alpha edition, so it's clearly a
summon spell. And the rules texts weren't so
formalized in the old days

NerdTalk off;

Nice drawing, but both ~paine92 and you have only kidnappings as damsel distress, which is not very imaginative

Mh, a fantasy scenario offers lots of possibilities,
so you may have a point here, but hey -
I really like kidnapping scenarios
