    Ok -

    For Prize 31, here's my custom mystery box:
    Prize: Destroy a target card of your choice and all other cards receive a favorite. (Including your own)
    A Mystery Challenge: Create a card that can use things other then mana to cast. (Life, discarding cards, etc.)

    I'd like to receive prize 31 again from Prize 2.
    My second mystery box:
    A Mystery Challenge: create a Theros God card representing you in some way.

    And yes, I would like to accept Prize 26 :smile:

    @jpastor
    I'm a little confused... So I get to pick one prize out of all of the sections (excluding premium)? So I pick from Interactive Prizes, Prizes for Prizes, Prizes for Entries, Misc. Prizes, Community Prizes, Defensive prizes, and List Prizes?
  • jpastorjpastor
    Yeah you can pick any prize listed anywhere there @SNAPcreator7

  • SNAPcreator7SNAPcreator7
    I think i'll take a  Forcefield generator to use for the next deadline.

    @jpastor Does the card have to be mine, or can I pick another cardsmiths? Edit: never mind I'm just making my own
  • SNAPcreator7SNAPcreator7

    Attention Mystery Box Noobs

    Your participation in this discussion has enlightened me and motivated me to apply the simplicity of this format of Mystery Boxes to the "Main" mystery box discussion. Now, all mystery boxes will be simplified, so that everyone can participate in the main thread. I've gone from 500+ prizes down to 195 in less than a month, purging all prizes that I did not feel would be fun, simple to understand, easy, or enjoyable.

    Lastly, due to the utter lack of participation that ensued after the "destruction" of entries, I've completely redefined the definition of a "destroyed" entry. Now when an entry is destroyed (I like bombs, so they are staying), the creator will have a chance to submit a new entry in place of the destroyed entry. This allows you to have a chance at redemption, perhaps making a better card than before, and it also allows you tally another entry onto your stats record while you're at it.

    Once again, thank you! I hope you'll find the new and improved Mystery Box Challenges to be far more enticing and enjoyable. Your Mystery Box journey and participation continues forever until the end of time HERE! 

    Mr. Corwinnn, please close out this discussion when you have a chance!
