Mystery Box Challenges

@jpastor Cowed by Wisdom is a single card, so am I meant to make 2~5 cards for that particular mystery challenge?

jpastor

@cadstar369
I'd like to see Cowed by ____. One for each other color of the pie besides Cowed by Wisdom's color.

cadstar369

So specifically a horizontal cycle? That's pretty hard to do as "Cowed by X," so I was gonna do a vertical cycle instead.

Whatever floats your boat

@cadstar369 oh, my bad! Thanks for linking the post, all these Mystery Box rules are a little overwhelming at times so I appreciate the clarification.

As far as the raincheck goes, I'll be activating Prize 15 next time I post here, and I'll start listing my prizes beneath my posts like some other smiths to avoid confusion.

@jpastor
Since I've posted the card for my previous challenge four days ago, I'm up for a new box, please.

Question regarding Prize 31: Would I have to go in blind or do I get any information about the judging criteria when I decide to activate this?

Inventory

• Prize 82 - Freaky Friday: You and target mystery boxer may trade any unused prizes and incomplete mystery challenges with one another.

• Prize 31 - Mastermind: jpastor provides five old cards from other cardsmiths.  Judge the cards from 1st to 5th.  Each card that’s in the same position as jpastor’s order = 1 prize. (activate this prize any time you'd like.)

blind as a bat

Hi @Potato13
Here is your dungeon, finally.

First, you'll want to choose Dueler or Thief. You won't have any clue what either role does until you begin but know that Thief earns you more prizes of choice in smaller quantities, while Dueler earns you more prizes, but at random.

Challenge: Mono blue instant with cleave

Okay @cadstar369
I think I have my creation for your song!



This is way outta my norm, but I love it, and I had a lot of fun with it. Simple stuff, but I like the concept of the new creature type.
