  • Potato13Potato13
    @jpastor , my submission. The challenge was to make a creature with a 5-color identity that referenced Zendikar in its name, that was also inspired by Knight of the Hokey Pokey. The inspiration from Knight seeped into almost every corner of this card - a 2 mana 2/2 knight for WW that can get first strike, and has a mana sink ability that grants it a protection effect. It's also thematically pretty nice - while it can defend Zendikar from any number of threats, it can't defend Zendikar from the Eldrazi. 



    May I have another box?

    hey @Potato13, that card look neat. I'm very intruiged in how you did that frame, please enlighten me? 
  • AboveAndAboutAboveAndAbout
    It wasn't made on mtgcs
  • TheDukeOfPorkTheDukeOfPork
    @AboveAndAbout ; Yep, I'm aware, and that's all I know about it. 
  • AboveAndAboutAboveAndAbout
    I would assume they used MSE.

    Here they are:


     


  • Potato13Potato13
    @TheDukeOfPork , the program used was MSE - specifically, using the sweet templates by Cajun. I could gush about the features, but I'll instead just give you the links to both Cajun and MSE. You'll probably need to do some screwing around to set it up, including installing the Beleren font, but the effort is well worth it.

    Mystery Boxes

    @Yonkers11 Your reshuffled mystery challenge: Pork & Beans (x5) - a combination of challenges 3, 1, 20, 22, & 9 (Create devoid creature card with Zendikar in its name whose power and toughness each aren't equal to its mana cost, has an ability that targets a player, and has a quote from a God in its flavor text.)

    @TheRacingTurtle Your mystery box contains:
    • A Mystery Challenge: Pork & Beans (x3) - a combination of challenges 23, 19, & 20 (Create a creature whose power and toughness each aren't equal to its mana cost, has a 5-color identity, and has a threshold ability.)

    Zendikar Elementalist
    ok so um i just made up a quote because my school blocked chromebook is not good at looking up random stuff because its blocked, but oh well another box please
  • Potato13Potato13
    @jpastor , I'll choose Prize 36 - Favourites.


    The challenge here was to create a card inspired by Knight of the Hokey Pokey that has a quote from a god in its flavor text. The Hokey Pokey part of this card is the fact that it's a bulk common for an unhinged-style set that can allow the controller to pay 2 mana to enhance its combat abilities, at the cost of a real-world downside.

    Also, just as a question - do you want me to stop @ 'ing you for these? People used to do it when the mystery boxes were new, but not really anymore.

    I'd appreciate another mystery box.
  • AboveAndAboutAboveAndAbout
    I'll submit the same card for this deadline. (Too lazy.)
    Zendikar Bleakmage
    I'll take the mystery box avatar please!
