    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/gluttony-51


    Ready for the next spell web.
  • @Corwinnn wins the spellwebs moshpit!
  • @cadstar369 your level 2 spellweb: Please choose 5 of the 6

    @Corwinnn your level 2 spellweb - please choose 5 of the 6

    @Jadefire your level 2 spellweb - please choose 5 of the 6

  • edited August 2021
    *Raises hand* Is Corwinnn's Spellweb having 7 choices but written as 'choose 5 of 6' a typo?

    I'd like to select [Green 1, Lime 1, Lime 2, Tan 2, Red 2] (I almost had a paragraph-long question about my Spellweb, but thankfully I found an answer in the original Spellweb discussion. I hadn't realized that we could branch to multiple higher cells from a single given cell, like I've decided to do here.)
  • I shall select the Salmon 1, Violet 2, Candy Apple 1, Pearl 1 and Plumb 2
  • sorry @Corwinnn please forget about one of the purple (2)'s in your choices. I miscounted... there should only be 6 bubbles... also - what is candy apple


  • Candy Apple Red... Corvette Summer

  • Then add the Dandelion

  • I'll take Blue 1, Cyan 2, Blue 1, Yellow 2, Purple 1.
  • @cadstar369 your Bard is also a smooth talker, so in conversing with the seller, you've convinced him to throw in another item along with the cloak you needed...

    Mystery Duel Challenge: Create a creature card with two custom mechanics that affect two different things.

    Had to go deep for this one, nice challenge @Corwinnn.  Your move @jpastor
  • Rock Band Stream card (A Warrior's Call - Volbeat)
    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/warriors-call-3

  • @Corwinnn your spider being climbs one of the walls and begins constructing a web... First, she constructs a bed-like web, horizontal... creating a layer of white, like vanilla inside a chocolate cake. Upon completion, she parks in the center and closes her eyes... feeling the vibrations... she feels nothing... Deconstructing her web quickly, she constructs another one... only this time, vertically. Once again, parked in the middle... she closes her eyes, and waits... At last she feels that hidden draft. Pinpointing its origin, she inspects the wall where the breeze is squeaking in from... She'll need some kind of leverage. Luckily, there are plenty of bones down below...

    A Mystery Challenge: Create a Spellshaper creature card with bones in the artwork.

    You've discovered your first perk:
    Web Builder I: As the name implies, your character can make intricate webs, often in areas with a small amount of airflow.


  • @Jadefire
    Alone on this hike it seems you are, but upon leaving the bunker you come across other hikers. A small group of human children and one adult... a family of commons. They do not notice you though, perhaps it is because they are focusing intently on something else... They're still and silent. You sneak around into the woods behind them in an attempt to see what they see. 

    It's a bear! 

    You have some options here. One of these options will not affect your storyline. Choose one - 
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create a bear creature card that is your choice of vicious or passive.
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create a green instant or creature that protects other creatures you control.
  • ...and the deadline has arrived...

  • ...and the winners are...

    1. @Corwinnn (5 deadline points)
    2. @cadstar369 (4 deadline points)
    3. @Jadefire (3 deadline points)
    4. @cadstar369 (2 deadline points)
    5. @cadstar369 (1 deadline point)

    @Jadefire - @Corwinnn my duel entry for: Create a creature card with two custom mechanics that affect two different things.

    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/snap-the-creator-1

  • Judgement Commencing. The Judges Chambers are now locked down and heavily guarded. You hear a light knocking on the door..."Guys? Hey I need to use the bathroom first."
  • Nice one @jpastor, I'd favourite it immediately but I don't want to take away from any future Briber's Purses I get, lol.

    Way to kill it on the deadline @cadstar369!
  •   

    Elicit - I can see what you're going for here. Flash allows you to put it on the stack and interact with spells on the stack and gives you access to mana you might not have available. Convoke with a different trigger. 

    Salvage - This looks like it is meant to bypass the effect discarding cards by giving you a way to cast them after using them for Elicit. 

    Judgement. Great combo. It might create some timing issues depending on how players would try to use it. Might be a little complicated for Rare (complexity of the combo), but I really like it. It has potential for a great Shenanigans deck. My one regret for this is it has very little purpose once it's on the battlefield.

    Mystic - This is a good way to put things down for {u}{u}, and a nice way to reward a 7MV card. It's hard to understand power level on this without a playtest, but it looks fun! (also CMC is just mana value now)

    Illustrate - This looks like a lot of fun too, but might take away from your control game... still it could make an interresting build around for a funky Blue Ramp deck.

    Judgement. This is another great combo. I think the power level on this could get out of hand if played right, and that's not always a bad thing. I love the interactions this has and I love that it has continued value once it hits the battlefield.

    Results: Winner @jpastor
    Both pretty exciting cards, but while I don't care for cards that cost a lot, I think Snap brings something violent to blue that the other card is missing, and I like that.
