Unfortunately HALF of the contestants failed to enter, although most of the entered submissions were amazing, and I applaud all to those who had the time to enter such wonderful submissions!
I know most of you are anxious to see the results, so here we go!
@zizick123
Unwinding Clock
- You failed to follow the Gold template and the Cardsmith icon, so that brought your marks down alot - and if 15 participants didnt enter, than you would have been eliminated. But, on other criteria you went soundly but not too well - an overall of 29 points.
@Mnemosyne
Mindslaver
- Excellent choice for the reprint 1, although the art is quite strange. Nevertheless, the card is sound and well-thought. Rated 35/60
Darksteel Colossus
- Well chosen and strongly done. A good card still used to this day in Commander and other formats. Rated 40/60
Mirari
- Excellent card. Not much I can say about this card - except its exceptional quality! Rated 39/60
Overall = 38
@Gryphon11114
Guardian of the Ages
- Firstly, I think the image is, in fact a real photograph. So you score 0 for image selection, and its not very magic-like. Though the card is a good choice to reprint and has potential but unfortunately you score 25.
@DarthPon3
Spellbook
- Totally awesome, dude! I love the artwork, plus the flavour text. Ive seen this card many a time and it deserves a well-placed position as top 3rd. Rated 55/60.
Platinum Angel
- This card doesn't necessarily need reprinting, but the selection is understandable.
Rated 36/60
Sword of Light and Shadow
- Good choice, though I can't really spot any 'shadow' side in the artwork. I know there is limited artwork out there aswell - Rated 43.
Overall = 44.7
@MaverickGV
Worldslayer
- Good card and excellent choice, but the pixelated and overused image drags it down a bit... Though it has flavour text, so that's cool! 30/60
Trinisphere
- Well you used Oracle text and such so that's good - but again the image is rather shifty. 30/60
Myr Battlesphere
- Good card choice to reprint and good job on finding the.... wierd photoshopped art. I know i've been harsh on you but the main criteria for this task is to find suitable artwork for your cards! Rated 35/60
Overall = 31.7
@theimmortaldeath
Caged Sun
- Good choice on the card, though the art is extremely similar to the original, and is definetely a discoloration. Rated 39/60
*Kunojitsu_Asahi
Zuran Orb
- Great art and flavour text! Especially the text - it really leads on from the older cards. Good choice and all - Rated 45/60
@ShadowKnight1224
Howling Mine
- Great flavor! Art? Not so much. I can't see that much in the image. You definitely do your research on the flavor text though. 47/60
@LyndonF
Akroan Horse
- Wonderful choice and splendid art design, though lacks the additional flavour text you could have implemented for extra points. 42/60
@kltmtg29
Winter Orb
- Sound image and flavour text (Should have been a line lower, though) and reflects good cardsmith ability. 40/60
Pentad Prism
- I remember when I used to use this, it was a great card. And oh my, what spectacular artwork, and the flavour text is good too. Congratulations on making top 3. 56/60
Overall = 49
Oblivion Stone
- This card has great artwork, and you did well on researching this card to reprint. 49.5/60
@Tomble123
Memory Jar
- Good choice and awesome artwork! I can actually imagine WotC reprinting this the exact same as you have done with the same artwork and flavor - good job, dude! 51/60
@Rednaxela
Everflowing Chalice
- I don't have any bloody idea where you could have gotten that artwork, and I'd be driven to kill you to find where you did get it from! Dude, this card is great - the artwork and the flavour text all link together to create a grand masterpeice that I would die for to pull from a booster, if this were a real card! Congratulations on the top spot, man. 58/60.
@DomriKade
Chalice of the Void
- Nice choice and you demonstrated capable ability to cardsmith. Good originality on the card, you did well with the artwork, aswell. 41.5/60
@unicornsareevil
Godsend
- That artwork is spectactular, dude! Good linkage with the sword and such, you did very well! Congratulations on coming 2nd. 57/60
Corrupted Grafstone
- You took a great risk reprinting a recent card from a standard set- but the risk payed off! Great job, dude. Rated 51/60
Door to Nothingness
- why did you reprint this card T_T T_T T_T T_T. But in all honesty its not badly done, as stupid as the card itself is. Rated 41/60
Overall = 50
@Tesarand
Adaptive Automaton
- Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all. 48/60
Sundering Titan
- Wasn't actually aware this card existed. Now im going to have nightmares in case anybody plays with it in Commander.
But well done anyway - Rated 45.5/60
Candelabra of Tawnos
- Very good choice on the card and strong execution - Love the flavour text, by the way. Rated 54/60
Overall = 49.2
Top 3:
1: Everflowing Chalice by @Rednaxela
2. Godsend by @unicornsareevil
3. Spellbook by @DarthPon3
4. Pentad Prism by kltmtg
And congrats to the rest.
P.S. Unfortunately due to several occurrences, that being the lack of popularity in the contest due to half of the contestants dropping out the prize pool has been changed so as to second place will not recieve a Kaladesh Booster, and only first place will. Don't worry everything else is still the same.
The next contest will be opened up in about 2 days to a week. Good luck to you all!
