in Contests and Challenges
The new Commander 2016 set is coming soon! I'd like MTGCardsmith to have its own counterpart. A set of five official Commander decks made BY THE COMMUNITY! For this challenge, there will be five decks that must be created. Each of them will be four colors. I will use the first cards spoiler as far as slots go (see below) to build the decks, with all of you guys giving advice IF YOU WANT TO ONLY. I don't want to make it sound like you have to help me, because you don't. But sure, you can. Anyways, here's how this works -

Each deck will of course contain 99 cards with a 4-Color Commander. For the first week, anyone can make any number of four-colored Commanders and other cards. On next Monday, I will pick the most favorited one's for each mixture of colors to be the commanders, then pick cards that are also heavily favorited or have good synergy with the commanders. Here are the guidelines for the decks -

1 Commander


Other Mythics -

4 colors - 2

Two-color commanders - With Partner (See new spoilers for Partner ability) - one for each two-color mixture (Two in each deck)


Rares -

4 colors - 3

Two-color commanders - With Partner (See new spoilers for Partner ability) - one for each two-color mixture (Two in each deck)

Two Colors - 4

Three colors - 3

Each color in the deck - 2


Uncommons -

Two Colors - 4

Three Colors - 3

Each color in the deck - 2

Lands - 10 (3 All color, 4 three color, 4 two color)

Artifacts - 3


Commons -

Two Colors - 4

Three Colors - 3

Each color in the deck - 2

Lands - 10 (3 All color, 4 three color, 4 two color)

Artifacts - 4

Basic Lands - 20

If you have any questions, please ask. Every card entered will be favorited by me. Thanks for checking out this contest or for entering in it! Have fun!

    I'll be checking back in around 9:00. Any cards entered then will also be favorited by my two other accounts - Rusathar and Kalenvaas!

    Pretty much, if you're super confused, just make cards.

    Please don't post six times in a row in your own topic to bump it.

    @strongbelieves why don't you please look up and tell me how many people have commented. You're the first other and you're telling me to stop. I don't exactly appreciate that.

    You bumped your own topic five times in one day. You should give people time to be creative and actually make something for your challenge and if they don't, accept the fact that the topic didn't interest people and move on.

    This also might not be drawing as much immediate attention because it is very similar to the current official site contest, albeit with a larger scope.

    Well, I just got here, and it's hard to tell if this is a challenge or some type of set. It says you don't expect anyone to make cards, but then you're actively seeking submissions, so it's a little confusing.... here's what I mean...

    - A set of five official Commander decks made BY THE COMMUNITY!
    This indicates you want 500 cards made by the community

    - I will use the first cards spoiler as far as slots go (see below) to build the decks, with all of you guys giving advice IF YOU WANT TO ONLY
    This indicates that you're going to start everything off with Spoiled cards, which haven't been posted. No one can give advice on this part yet, because there is nothing to comment on.

    - I don't want to make it sound like you have to help me, because you don't
    This indicates you're going to make all 500 cards, and don't expect any help.

    - But sure, you can
    This indicates you're willing to accept help.

    - For the first week, anyone can make any number of four-colored Commanders and other cards.
    This indicates you want people to make a bunch of cards over the course of a week.

    - I'll be checking back in around 9:00. Any cards entered then will also be favorited by my two other accounts - Rusathar and Kalenvaas!
    This indicates that you REALLY want people to start making cards immediately.

    - Oh come on! (Bump)
    And this indicates exasperation that no one has started making and submitting cards.


    Right now, we have a minimum of four Commander challenges going on, and this one is the most daunting of them all, as it requires 500 cards. Most sets that have 300 cards take months to create, so this is going to require a lot of effort to complete.

    I would suggest breaking it down into smaller challenges, maybe similar to this one by @Platypusburger

    And that way you can chip away at it without making it overwhelming.
