    @jpastor I'm still waiting for my premium to clear so I can start making cards about all I can do until then is make derp cards on my DerpNerd account...
  • jpastorjpastor
    I mean... @sorinjace
    that works for me!

    what exactly are you waiting for from MTGCS? What do you mean for your premium to clear? ... and can't you make cards without premium?

    A Mystery Challenge has been awarded to you, serving as a bonus to your empire: Create a second chance card. (A card that returns a card from a graveyard to the battlefield or hand.)

    Shattered Rebirth

    I track down the remaining Uknavi, because you don't leave a wounded bear in the wilderness. It will inevitably wander into someone else's camp site and  wreak havok on the unsuspecting.
  • jpastorjpastor
    @Corwinnn in order to track down the Uknavi - you'll need to construct a research facility. In order to do that, you'll need to conquer another faction first.

    Could I get another box?

    @Jadefire your mystery box contains:
    • Prize 8 - Double-Edged Sword: You may challenge target cardsmith to a double header duel... two duels in a row vs the same cardsmith.
    • A Mystery Challenge: Hope you're ready for a weird one... Create a card that has an ability that takes up exactly one line worth of space on your card. You may have additional abilities that do not follow this rule, but at least one ability must be no less and no more than one line in length. See below for an example of an entry that would NOT work, because the first ability has empty space on the line... In the example, if the first ability were done correctly, taking up exactly one line... then the second ability would work just fine!

    Then I shall go after The Colca Fari Vi! I will need their resources to track down General "Runaway!"
  • jpastorjpastor
    @Corwinnn your results from your attempt to conquer the Colca Fari Vi...

    1. Colca Fari Vi Offenses: DEFEATED
    2. Colca Fari Vi Defenses: DEFEATED
    3. Colca Fari Vi Army: DEFEATED
    4. Colca Fari Vi Leader: The leader of the machines - the legendary Mountain Creature itself has animated itself in the wake of the defeat of the Colca Fari Vi war machines. You were caught by surprise at the sheer power of this monstrosity. It has forced you to retreat.
    5. The Colca Fari Vi Species: You've determined that the machines are in fact unmanned drones that seem to be connected to Colca Fari Vi, the monstrous leader. It appears as though in its mountainous, inanimate state, Colca Fari Vi is able to create these machines using inorganic materials from the landscape. This species, as you conclude, remains in existence as long as Colca Fari Vi remains alive.

    Death Hounds, while not returning something from the graveyard to my hand or the battlefield, is still removing something from the graveyard and putting something on the battlefield.

    @Corwinnn I don't believe that qualifies as a second chance card. According to a previous post, it should be "a card that returns a card from a graveyard to the battlefield or hand."

    On a separate note, what is a +1/+1 creature token?

    A bonus Mystery Challenge: Create a permanent card that serves as a research card for your empire. Research cards allow you to search, scry, or draw. 
    Sandquake Behemoth Celestial Cartography

    @jpastor how aware is each faction of any other faction's current state? This includes both the cardsmith factions and the ones you created. (e.g. does Syntella's army know about the Pyxic Order attacking the Abnormali & Xenalites? Does the Brazen Scar know about the attacks on the other factions?)

    Definitely activating Prize 194 - cadstar (Deadline Modifier). Didn't think it would show up so soon~ :D

    Another Mystery Box please! I also have another Legends Rising prize that guarantees a prize in the box!

    Mystery Challenge: Create a Skeleton + [Subtype] creature.
    Hong Lu Crimson Hunter
    While the Pyxic Order is interested in the root of the Brazen Scar's faith, securing the safety (and knowledge) of the Interis is of greater import. Thus, they shall seek the remnants of the Abnormali.

    One Mystery Box as well please~ :)

    @cadstar369 awesome! i'm working on your results for the mini-saga.... meanwhile - here is your mystery box:
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create an Artifact Creature that's a Wizard.


  • jpastorjpastor
    @cadstar369 - your research and investigation with the Interis indicate that the Abnormali species is led by a single entity, a massive whale-like creature that roams the cosmos. The Interis named this creature Il-Je-Nawis.. which means "It which is acclaimed." To the Abnormali, it seems as thought Interis are merely food... not intelligent beings. What is a krill or a zooplankton to an actual whale? Just food. This Il-Je-Nawis is apparently an ancient being, colossal, yes, but also capable of bending space time. The Interis say it always arrives like a comet in the sky, a streak of light that scratches the night sky. This is how your research team found the Abnormali leader and the remainder of their species... here are your results:

    • Abnormali Species: EXTERMINATED
    • Abnormali Leader: Devastated your offenses, defenses, and army. Thanks to the efforts of your commander and second chance card, you manage to defeat the Acclaimed.

    The results of this battle leave your forces in pieces. It's going to take hard work to replenish the ranks and ready yourself for battle once again. 

    Bonus Challenge: Create a noncreature card that creates creature tokens for your Army!
  • JadefireJadefire
    A nonpermanent spell that serves as the defining method with which your army attacks.

    Explanation of Explosives change and anti-Explosives

    • Anti-explosive prizes fizzle into oblivion and cease to exist.
    • Explosives that destroy multiple entries will be deleted from the prize list.
    • Explosives that target one-three entries will remain on the prize list, but will be transformed into new prizes called Slaps - Slaps allow you to target specific entries and challenge the cardsmith who created the entry to make a better entry. It's a way of saying, "You can do better than that."
    If you have an explosive or anti-explosive... you can exchange them for a random prize.
  • JadefireJadefire
    I'll trade my two Prize 151 - Bomb Breaker Mitts and Prize 103 - EMP Grenade for replacement prizes then.
