The resonance of voices and light whired around Khare, but to a select few, something could be seen. A vision, as though the city became bare. Bones and flesh, darkness and decay, ashes falling from cloudy skies.
Was this the fate of Khare, it's final words? Or perhaps this is what Khare is in its entirety. After all, the city was built on lies and deceit.
Last submission.
Don't worry - I'm going to give people a few things that could happen afterwards!
Now, at last, I announce the (possibly just first) winners of this challenge. These nomads have triumphed, and will forever sit in the planar "Hall of Fame".
1st place: Rendori, Cult Waterspeaker by @Latinas. Congrats!!!
This card interests me. While it is pretty darn overpowered, I feel like it's got a fun concept on it, and like how you managed to bring the cult into Khare. It makes sense
that a cityport like Khare would have a hero to do with water as well!
2nd place: Fireview Square Merchant by @Mila.
This card is pretty cool. I really like the flavour, and the overall "feel" the card gives off. My only criticism? It's almost certainly too powerful. This comes down, discard one, draw two, and you've got value there - and it keeps on happening. Kudos for the concept anyway.
3rd place: Absorbed Contemplator by @Yururu (did I spell it right?!? XD)
I love seeing very simple, often vanilla, creatures, and cards with good flavour text/some form of poetry in their flavour text, so I really love this card! Although it's definitely not the most creative card I've ever seen, part of cardsmith is often finding old concepts and putting them together.
4th place: Mutinous Egg by @Blazin_Biscuit.
Wow, what a cool way to fit Eldrazi into Khare! I'm already trying to think up a storyline to explain how the artefact got there. The card itself is pretty cool as well (although you'll probably want to explain who was saying the flavour text).
5th place: By Faith, By Duty by @Shadikal
When I first heard the name, I thought it was from a real card - but no! The flavour text is awesome as well. My only problem would be that the "emergence" mechanic sounds wayyy to similar to emerge
I've changed the prizes, but, be assured, some will be coming!
This is mainly gestured towards @Faiths_Guide, @Modnation675, @mila, @Latinas and @Shadikal, since they were the ones who made the most entries, but any one can answer.
We can do three things with this thread now the amount of card being made is slowing down:
Option #1 (and my least favourite option): Leave the thread as it is, hoping people make more entries. Trouble is, the card production has slowed down a bit.
Option #2 : I design a new "starting" character, the corruption is restored, and we can continue.
Option #3 : We close this thread, but start a similar kind of contest in another thread, based around some kind of land, where you lead off the last card.
What do you guys think?
Sorry @IanLowenthal. You can submit your card if you like, but that will be it until the poll is finished.
Although I will accept #3 if we really need a fresh start!
Haha, I wish!
I do believe it was from one of those "Fighting Fantasy" gamebooks.
I think that is a fitting end. Sorry @KJMartin for killing your character.
LoL! That chaanges things.
Also, I completely forgot that Emerge was a mechanic. My bad. Having two mechanics sounding similar is pretty terrible.
Also, @IanLowenthal Nice tie in with the Titan there! Poor Jovia, didn't even make it past three cards before dying.
Finally, I want to put this here. This was my conclusion card before I posted Clinging Darkness. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/tresta-vindicator-of-light
Just so you know, this is probably going to be the map we use: http://s3images.coroflot.com/user_files/individual_files/original_328353_sobrlsnah0ephfrsrghgtlvwl.jpg
Does it look good?
Looks good! It'll be interesting to see what happens now that we have an entire plain to work with rather than a city this time. New options getting opened up. I'm full on keen to see where it goes and participate of course.
