Snow Covered Mox Jet is just a joke about how Mark Rosewater is responding to a plan to work around the Reserved List by reprinting snow covered versions of the dual lands with foot dragging. It is not a serious entry.Not Alex posted:Inexplicably monored homarid, you say? If you make the pump Homarid spell take Izzet Mana, you can use Clawfury as a commander.

chrome is being a jerk and not letting me download images so imagine this with the art for Selfless Spirit or something basically Evoke is a very well-designed mechanic that had the misfortune of being printed in Tribal Clusterfuck: The Draft Format and before they fixed combined ETB/LTB triggers. This is a design that couldn't be done with the old Oblivion Ring templating because you would just stack the triggers to keep the target permanently exiled, so rather than being a flexible design halfway between Banisher Priest and Cloudshift it would just be a better Swords to Plowshares. I had other ideas along the same lines (enchantments that behave like sorceries with Evoke, a Civic Wayfinder/Lay of the Land hybrid) but my inability to get art for them is frustrating me

 The wish mechanic is a really cool one, and I'd like to see them do more twists on it besides changing the subset of cards that it gets. I'd also like to see more Time Spiral-style riffs on old cards or combinations of old cards.

Since the Aether Revolt previews seem to be lacking it entirely so far, I feel that "energy removal" is definitely a gap that needs to be filled. My apologies for not using the energy symbols as they're not in Magic Card Creator and I'm way too lazy to use photoshop for it:

So the Werewolf Legendary released during Innistrad was... a bit lackluster. Why not try a different approach? Or, with the brand new partner mechanic, you could have two!   On the non-Legendary front:  EDIT: and on the non-werewolf front, I'm annoyed that Reanimator is built explicitly to only work in that gimmicky, "Get big fatty that wins you the game." Method. I'm a bigger fan of the smaller, reanimate-for-value style.

This contest showed me that I really love build-arounds that change or create archetypes. This is an excellent fusion of ideas Good thing you remembered after I forgot, cuz this is kinda cool You would have won this contest if not for Torchlighter That non-legend werewolf was cool, but this is my loving idol right here. Just a subtle change in philosophy that makes a world of difference. Torchlighter, you can go to your grave knowing that you won this contest. The rest of you were really cool too, and the only reason I didn't include everyone's cards and some feedback was because the post was gonna be completely loving too big. If you want feedback on a card that didn't make the shortlist, just ask and I'll be overjoyed that someone finally wants my input.

Alright. Let's see if this one works. Superhero Smashup!   It's a pretty normal event, if you ever go looking for custom magic cards, to find that a lot of people have attempted to create a set dedicated to another fandom of theirs, whatever it may be. These cards are usually... lacking. Whether through well-meaning fanaticism, a personal headcanon or a desire to meticulously get every detail right, fansets are rife with broken or overly complex cards and mechanics or just straight lack of thought into how these pieces fit together. We're not doing that. In a hypothetical world where WOTC got the rights to make a Marvel/DC mashup, make a card that you would reasonably expect to see in that set. Basically, I'm looking for a card of Standard/Modern power levels, based around superheroes. The easiest way to go about this would be to pick a single hero and work out their function in the set. What would be their major foci? How would they fit into, and what does that say, about the set? Take this as an example of what not to do:  Look at all that text! It has every power that Superman has. And it's unplayable because of it. Instead, try to separate this into a few different cards. Like a flying, indestructible creature, and a few spells that emulate his other powers. Given the timing, I'll end this contest at 7:00 PM PST, Saturday 21st. Good Luck!  Super Secret Playing to the Judge Hint Secret Identities have kind of fallen by the wayside in the recent boom of Superhero stories. But I've always liked them as a second part of of a character, giving options and avenues of attack that their enemies won't expect.

 The one character that can beat just about all of them. Also a great babysitter, though that's trickier to represent in card form. Predator Ooze meets Verdant Force in a splashy mythic that may look weak at first glance, but which can be surprisingly dominant on the battlefield.

Tollymain posted:"here's an example of what not to do" 'What not to do' was pile on every conceivable ability onto one card, such as the four extra things to represent Superman's reluctance to use violence, leadership, heat vision and whichever one of his laundry list of powers is represented by tapping things. Squirrel Girl basically does two: Defeat everyone else and get squirrels. Anyway, AJ_Impy posted:Also a great babysitter, though that's trickier to represent in card form. Self-imposed alter-ego card challenge go!

I wanted to try a kind of build-around deck to really give that Spider-Man feel through multiple cards interacting with each other. First, the man himself   A few power cards  Some alter-ego action. Thanks to the clone saga, you can have Peter Parker and Spider-Man out at the same time!

Slightly more serious note: Hawkeyes.   These probably aren't well balanced against each other. I wanted the Trick Arrow mechanic to represent being able to pull exactly the right tool out of your rear end for any situation, but also tie to offensive ability and have it scale with, say, equipment and auras. Green likes it's combat focus and synergy with combat tricks as well. Clint is meant to be a bit more reckless and experienced and more traditionally focused on the bow, while Kate has her girl detective thing going on. Both of them have a bit of history doing the undercover agent thing which works with the infiltrator/when ~ deals combat damage to an opponent thing as well, which is cool. I tossed in the enter the battlefield effects just for a bit more value. e: looking these over, I'd probably switch Hawkguy to a 3/2 and Kate to 2/3 to differentiate them a bit and give a boost to Kate's evasion.

In the interest of filling out the set with non legendary cards: a basic powerset with no real special skills, but solid in a draft On that note, I figure this set would be very Legendary focused and loaded with impossible to kill dudes, so  and  here to mitigate that at lower rarities.

Son of a bitch. Whatever, time to do a series of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl cards, showing all the heroes of the series except for Chimpmunk Hunk because he's always facing away from the camera, or standing behind Koi Boi, or in extreme closeup so you can't see his outfit.     And here are some cards to help her squirrel dependencies, along with a squirrel-a-gig so Tippy Toe can help Squirrel Girl attack safely, or vice versa!    Also Loki.

Oh hey a theme that I have a card ready for  A theme in the series is friends and friendship, so it seemed natural. I think I had another card done of the same character, but it's been lost to a hard drive crash. Wording is probably a bit off too, it's not exactly a serious/final entry.
