Alright I'm going to try to have finished judging by tonight (wish me luck because I leave at 5AM tomorrow morning to head out on a week vacation for skiing and other snow activities in Colorado). No more entries. Message me if you'd like to help judging.
My idea for the next competition is going to be unique. I like to sketch and I am going to design artwork which I will upload and request that everyone make their version of a card to fit the art.
It will start out not having colors which sway the card to a specific color. The winners card will then cause me to finish the rendering to match the cards design, at least from a color standpoint. We will see how it works out! It will be my attempt at a one week competition if all goes well.
I know it's too late to enter, so I'm leaving this here in case others are curious to see another Tiny Leader... http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/zurgo-zombified (Probably very strong in the format, what with his Unearth ability - oh well.)
I think your idea for your next challenge is great - though you might get very similar entries. There might be a problem where those who submit early could argue that others copied mechanics that they posted first - causing some sort of race. You would have to be completely impartial when judging, irrespective of the order in which they were made.
I would help you judge, but I'd probably be a little biased. Would it be fair to allow participants to judge? o.0
@Cryptonight Thanks a bunch for the comment. The contest ended midnight early this morning I am just trying to judge by tonight.
As far as people copying each other I don't think that will be to big of an issue. In general it seems like people prefer to differ from everyone else on this site if at all possible.
I know, I went a little crazy. That is the score of each entry on a scale from 1-10 in my personal opinion. I rated based on personal preference ( ), but things like balance, ingenuity, unique and Intriguing-ness, art, flavor, etc.
It looks like... @Animist wins yet again, the numbers have spoken.
