Cobwebs. I think I have an avatar from Spellwebs... somewhere in here...

@Jadefire
the weather changes the mystery challenges given - making them harder in most cases

Jadefire

OK, so if the challenge has already been worded then we don't need to worry about doing anything in addition to what's already asked (i.e., weather condition requirements will be explicitly worded in the challenge).

jpastor

Correct! @Jadefire

LeBateauIvre

• A Mystery Challenge: Create an  spell with Descend (If you have ten or more creature cards in your graveyard, you get the crypt's blessing for the rest of the game.) - that's an ability by @Corwinnn
• I made a minor change to the term granted by Descend because I felt blessing didn't fit, I can edit it back though if need be.

Another box please.

Using Instigate, it is to Innocent Blood what Cabal Therapist is to Cabal Therapy.
Here's the flavour text that couldn't fit, it also indirectly references Innocent Blood: "When it comes to the gift of death, there’s always plenty to go around."

A Mystery Challenge: Create a mono-red creature with seaspray4TF3's Defect ability.
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/wayward-sapper


I had to tweak the Defect mechanic because it was missing the clause that causes the counters to tick down every turn and I gave a new name to the counters because loyalty is already used by planeswalkers.

I'll claim my Prize 92 - A Coin: I'll choose a blue coin and call Tails.  I'll also claim my Prize 3 - Kaleidoscope: I'll choose white.

Can I get another mystery box?
