RoboRosewater - 'Bonus names of unused cards'-contest

edited August 2017 in Contests and Challenges
I enjoy visiting RoboRosewater's Twitter account to have a look at all the strange cards, the Recurrent Neural Network they use there to create mtg cards comes up with. If you don't know that page or just want to have a look again, you can find it here: https://twitter.com/roborosewater?lang=de

Every now and then, you can also find bonus names of unused cards there, that cry for being used, but I never found the time to create some of them. That's why I want you to do so for me. Here are some names, I suggest for this contest, but if you find another one, that inspires you, feel free to use it.

- Oracle of Minds
- Dread Mana
- Shallow Gambit
- Jace's Deep
- Nehashi, Visionary Gargoyle
- Skarrg, Formation Angel

I hope, you like the idea as much as I do, but feel a little more inspired than me. You are welcome to come up with any kind of card, you can think of. Every cardsmith is allowed to enter with up to 3 cards. As always, I'll favorite your entries and reward the top three entries as follows:

1st place may choose 5 favorites or a follow and 2 favorites.
2nd place may choose 4 favorites or a follow and 1 favorite.
3rd place may choose 3 favorites or a follow.

Honorable mentions may also choose a favorite.

I am going to start judging this contest in a little more than three weeks, which is saturday 16th of september. Winners will be announced shortly after.

  • *Sphinx of Bal* I may do that one.
  • @Faiths_Guide Yes, do that. I can't wait to see, what it will be like.

    Here is "Shallow Gambit"
    image
    This name should definitely already be the name for an mtg card. It's perfect!
    ...Anyways, this card is supposed to represent the "Shallow parts" of MTG, such as the top cards of ones library. The randomness was thrown in because of the word "Gambit"
    Enjoy!

  • @KrampisZman Thank you for listing all the names here. I hope, it wasn't too much work.
  • @Mila No problem! It only took a couple of minutes.

    Using Mana Cannon :)

  • Yay, another entry :D
  • edited September 2017
    This is positively fascinating. I'd never heard of that twitter account till now. I will try to submit my entries soon just busy taking care of my child for a few days.
  • edited September 2017
    @saveria201 I love RoboRosewater and can't wait to see your entry. I hope your kid is well and doesn't need attention due to illness or something.
  • @saveria201 I challenge you to use the card name "Jake Paul." 19th from the top of the list.
  • image
    Run, Citizens, for Carl is here.
  • @krampiszman pffft, alright

    I maybe cheated by changing his name but like...how else to make such a normal sounding name mtg-ified...

    Jake-Paul, Cavern Sanctifier

  • @saveria201 Nice!

    @Everyone favorite that card. It is a work of art!
  • @KrampisZman I thought Carl was made as a card, because people had apparently asked for it:
    image
  • @Flatfish Well, I mean it was on the list of unused card names on the Twitter feed, so I would assume it's fair game. I think that one is up to @Mila
  • Well, when appearing on the list, it's totally fine, even when the name was used later on by Robo Rosewater.

    I saw the name and I just could not resist :)

  • I did 'Nehashi, Visionary Gargoyle'.

    (And sorry that I couldn't hyperlink the image - I don't know how yet.)
  • Demonic Ribbons
    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/demonic-ribbons
    This is, I think, a unique and powerful removal spell, with the flavor text telling part of a story, just enough to be intriguing and leave you wondering. ;)

    Skarrg, Formation Angel
    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/skarrg-formation-angel
    For this one, I immediately thought of an angel literally formed out of separate metal pieces. I tried to embody that image by making her reliant on artifacts, with each artifact making her more powerful in two ways.

    Harsh the Unsummons
    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/harsh-the-unsummons
    Returning a creature to its owner's hand is often showed as a relatively harmless way to dispose of that creature. Sometimes it is even used to save your own creatures from destruction. This card aims to undermine that idea, the name even a parody on the classic bounce spell, Unsummon.
  • Here is my second entry: Uncle Imp, God of the Howded Mercolith. Sadly, the whole name couldn't fit, so I just fit as much as I could.
