    @TheKeefMan
    If you're bored, then you gotta ask for a mystery box! What else am i good for, eh? 

    Your mystery box contains:
    • Prize 42 - Fine Perfume ?‍?️ Your cards can't be blown up this deadline.
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create a 0 mana artifact with a bonus as you draft it.
  • TheKeefManTheKeefMan
    Sounds right up my alley

    (P.S. You know I'm here for more than a distraction, know your worth brother.)
  • TheKeefManTheKeefMan
    @jpastor Are you referring to "Draft" as in the ability exclusive to Alchemy, or the physical act of drafting a card when you're playing draft. Just have to ask.

    Here was my original idea for my mystery box;

    I have chosen @Jadefire, as gratitude for choosing me of all cardsmiths to make a card for.

    @Jadefire
    Yes, it's definitely OK with me for you to use my Pact mechanic.

    @jpastor
    Another box please.
  • jpastorjpastor
    @TheKeefMan like all these: Card Search - Search: +as, +you, +draft - Gatherer - Magic: The Gathering (wizards.com)
  • TheKeefManTheKeefMan
    Good because I was loosing my shiz researching Alchemy. I'll have the card finished early tomorrow, it's late now. Thanks

    @jpastor

    I don't mean to be that guy, but is kaoz42 allowed to submit a Jadefire themed card, even though I already made one?
  • jpastorjpastor
     :) @TheDarkKnight1234567
    yep - i did not specify you can't
  • TheKeefManTheKeefMan
    @TheDarkKnight1234567 don't worry about it man, it really isn't that big of a deal
  • jpastorjpastor

    Good rule of thumb in the mystery box challenges is "when in doubt, just do it anyways."

    Mystery Challenge: Create a mono-blue spell with Chandra in it's flavor text.
    Also, sorry for being annoying about kaoz42's card.

    I hope this is good, I've never dealt with draft-exclusive effects before.

    Another box please!

    @cadstar369 question: what's a scaling downside? I honestly don't have a good idea of what that looks like
  • Robo_KittyRobo_Kitty
    Challenge: Create a rare enchantment with kaldheim set symbol.

    Mystery Challenge: Create a Demon with power 2 or less.
    Ragestoke Raider

    I'll pass on the sticker. One Mystery Box with two challenges please. ?

    ~~~

    @SpellPiper2213 a scaling downside is one that varies with something desirable for the user. Examples include Read the Runes (card advantage vs board presence), Breakthrough (card advantage vs mana), Death's Shadow (P/T vs life), Toxic Deluge (efficacy vs life), and most cumulative upkeep effects.

    Could I have another box please?
  • ManInMaroon_948ManInMaroon_948
    • "A Mystery Challenge: Create a card where both you and an opponent choose something."
    Illusion of Being

    Try to decipher THIS complexity @jpastor

    I'd like another box pls
  • FireOfGoldenFireOfGolden
    @jpastor Is creature still Mono-Red, if it has ability needs different color to activate it?
  • ManInMaroon_948ManInMaroon_948
    edited August 2023
    @FireOfGolden I would say no, since a creature's color identity is determined by the colors in their mana costs AND the colors in their abilities. For example, I wouldn't be able to put Khera Spellspear in my monored commander deck (Torban, Thane of Red Fell, for example)
  • FireOfGoldenFireOfGolden
    @ManInMaroon_948 okay, thanks!
  • ManInMaroon_948ManInMaroon_948
    No problem ?
  • cadstar369cadstar369
    edited August 2023
    @FireOfGolden as long as the mana cost(s) on all of its sides contain red mana symbols and no other colored mana symbols, and the card has no non-red color indicators, then it’s mono-red (mono-red refers to color, which is different from color identity; a mono-red card doesn’t necessarily have a red color identity). To borrow a previous example, Khenra Spellspear is mono-red, but has a blue-red color identity. In other words, the answer to your question is yes.
  • ManInMaroon_948ManInMaroon_948
    @cadstar I guess it doesn’t matter too much anyways, lol
  • JadefireJadefire
    I'm with cadstar on this. Rule 105.2 and 105.2a make this clear. https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Color
  • FireOfGoldenFireOfGolden
    That's nice to know! Thank you for helping!
