    Hehe... it's been a really long time since I have posted here... so here is my card submission for my box from 4 months ago....
    Delaying Aura
    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/delaying-aura

    your mystery box contains: Create a rare enchantment with a quote from a made-up character. (Also thanks for digging out the challenge for me jpastor, would have taken me awhile...)

    Now... may I have another box, @jpastor?

  • Abu_JafarAbu_Jafar
    Ooh bonuses! umm, I will use forcefield generator on myself... (which oddly fits my entries flavour...), Xplain yoself on a random cardsmith, I will activate the moshpit, (Time for choas!) I also have the ancient gem... (and will I be told what cards are being favourited with the chrome mox?)... and I think that does it for those prizes!


  • jpastorjpastor
    @Abu_Jafar your mystery box contains:
    • Prize 113 - Draft (Daily Gambit): You may activate this. If you do, I'll post a group of mystery boxes that can be selected by any cardsmith who completes a mystery challenge today.
    • Prize 16 - Time Bomb: When you submit your entry for this box, destroy one target entry.
    • Prize 420 - Favoritos: You may accept 2 favorites of jpastor's choice -OR- 1 of your choice
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create a Vampire creature with a life swap ability (target opponent loses, you gain.)
  • jpastorjpastor

    Deadline of Moshpits

    Every batch of boxes (group of 3 or more cardsmiths receiving a mystery box) this deadline will be a moshpit (a free-for-all where the best card from that batch wins, receiving a moshpit point = +1 Mystery Box Score per Moshpit point).
  • JadefireJadefire
    Lol, I'm no threat.  Did you see me get rekt in the Invitational?

    Can I activate the prizes I couldn't activate during the intermission deadline now?
    Prize 333 - Favorites (4) & Prize 273 - Favorites (2): I've got some new cards to choose from now, https://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Jadefire/cards
    Prize 32 - Duel
    Prize 472 - Mode Negotiations: Duels & Mosh Pit (not sure if this conflicts with prize 32)
    Prize 23 - Scratchie: 63, 101, 129, 131, 158, 183, 245, 269, 381, 397

    I'll also activate the following since I have to:
    • Prize 213 - Present: This goes to @ranshi for getting top 3 last deadline.
    • Prize 59 - An Equation
    • Prize 222 [NEW!] - Encounter (Personal Daily Gambit)
  • JadefireJadefire
    So ShadowReign bleeds after all... Who broke the legendary streak?
  • jpastorjpastor
    One of @Abu_Jafar's cards... @Jadefire
  • JadefireJadefire
    Mad respect.  That card gets my vote for the next featured card.

    Draft (Daily Gambit)

    Today I'll be posting a group of Mystery Boxes. These can only be chosen today. Please choose one that hasn't been chosen. Once chosen by any cardsmith, it can't be chosen by anyone else. This will take place of your mystery challenges for today. Also, anyone who participates in this draft enters into a moshpit for it. As well, each box has an opposing box. So you'll be in a duel vs that box. Yeah that's right, I'm combining modes into one! But only for today!

This is not an option, but mandatory. Xplain yo mana reasoning, logic, and the technicalities.]

    I thought the encounter took the place of my next box.  Ok, I'm ready for another box.
  • jpastorjpastor
    @Jadefire the personal daily gambit follows your entry as a bonus objective for the day. Your mystery box contains:
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create a non-Legendary Devil creature card.
    • [PERSONAL DAILY GAMBIT] Encounter: A zombie apocalypse is about to start. You are hanging out with a friend. He says he's not feeling well and he looks sweaty and feverish. His eyes are bloodshot and you fear he is about to turn into a mindless, infectious beast. One bite could contaminate you or everyone he bites, turning them into zombies. One case could turn into a million and then billions. You know that even if he dies, he'll resurrect anyways unless you blow his head off. Nobody in the world knows what's going on. The possibilities are endless on what you could do. You could solve this problem in a number of ways, but you could also fail to solve it resulting in the zombie apocalypse. What would you do IRL? Create a card or sequence of cards in specific order that would solve this problem.

    Alright, one legendary goblin, coming right up!

    Ogyith the Skeptical

    Wanted to go with less of just another "little red aggro guy" and instead go with a goblin who is very much unsure of whether or not that decapitated elf is really dead or just very convincing.

    I'll take another box, please!
