Month of Challenges
Hello fellow cardsmiths!
I've been on the site on and off for a while and competed in a few of the contests in the forms, and I wanted to start one of my own.
The format for the contest will be four weeks, with four challenges each week. Three of those challenges will be smaller challenges where you can submit any cards you have ever created, and one of those challenges will have a longer deadline, but all submissions will need to be original.
Scoring will be 5 points for the winner of each of the smaller contests, and 10 points for the winner of each of the longer contests. More points will be given out for each challenge depending on the number of submissions I really like (probably around 3-5 people will get points for each challenge, but it depends on the number of submissions).
I'll post challenges on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and judge the previous challenge at the same time. Long contests will go Monday-Monday.
For prizes, I'll favorite any card that gets points, and the winner of each challenge will get an extra favorite. The top three scorers overall will get some extra favorites (I'll decide how many once I see how many people participate). In addition, anyone who scores at least 50 points (out of a maximum of 100) will get a follow.
I hope people have a good time, and I'm excited to see some cool cards!

Short challenge (judging on Wednesday):
Make a creature with flying.
Long challenge (judging on Monday):
Create a new mechanic for mono white. You can create up to four cards to showcase different aspects of the mechanic, but only one will actually count as your submission for the challenge (don't feel the need to make extra cards if you think one can speak for itself, this is just a way to show off any cool interactions that you want to showcase)
Weirdest typing ever, so nothing fancy, but fun for the short contest.
@hannibal6 Sidenote: This mechanic, may it be like Rally, meaning one that can be used for all colors or do you want one SPECIFICLY tailored to white?
Part of this set:

I will submit this to both the short and long challenge. If I can only submit it to one then I'll submit it to the mono-white mechanic challenge.
Short Challenge
Either way this is gonna be a cool challenge!
If we upload a card for the long challenge, we'll edit this post and add it!
Custom "mono-white" mechanic designed to function with Auras and Equipments.
Should work well "en masse", and in general with many mono-white strategies.
Sorry if you've already seen this competition, but I just wanted to try to get it out to as many people as possible since it will probably be more fun for everyone if there are a bunch of cool cards to see, and you guys are some card smiths who I think make cool stuff who haven't commented yet
Anyways, judging for the first short challenge will be tomorrow (probably some time between 5-9pm EST)
Custom mono-white mechanic.
Blessed -- When you only used white mana to cast (spell name), (effect).
Probably gonna need some proper tweaking or something. Or maybe not.
My Break through/breakthrough (do comment on which is best plz) is basically a way to allow white decks to be more aggro
Thanks for mentioning me! I'll enter if I get new mechanic idea!

I hope everyone enjoyed the first round. The contest is still very far from over though.
For the next short challenge, make a common (nothing too complicated, just focus on art, balance, and flavor).
