Reply to comment by SpikedSynapse in [IC]IFK Classic Magic - An official Magic: The Gathering keycap set by SpikedSynapse

This is so much better than the "licensed" Kamigawa set. A couple points of constructive criticism:

  • The "tap symbol" tab should really be part of the base set. It's weird that most other mods in the base set have a themed legend, but that one doesn't (seems to be there in the render tho?). I do appreciate that you included it in the 40's compatibility.
  • Following the same vein on mods, it would be great if you could offer symbol-only mods for those that don't want to dive fully into the Magic-themed legends.
  • If the point is to stick to a pre-Mirrodin aesthetic, I would probably reconsider "equip" as a mod legend. That keyword didn't exist until Mirrodin and is not considered part of the "older" age of Magic.
  • Might be cool to consider making the number legends with a circle around them to call back to colorless mana costs.
  • I'm sure there is probably some "mandate" from high up that you have to have the branded Enter keys, but it would be much more nostalgic for Enter to be something like "Resolve" or another older keyword.

Similarly re pre-Mirrodin aesthetic: The collorless mana symbol (used on the super/win key) is very new as far as Magic goes (introduced 2015), so it also doesn't fit in that old aesthetic.

I think it fits fine where it is and would personally prefer a slightly more modern aesthetic (could the shift key with a current tap symbol be an option?), but if consistency is desired, it shouldn't be there.
