Hi friends - an announcement for the Mystery Box community.
Today, we open the door to a whole new Mystery Box world, the world of prestige.Three cardsmiths have reached 50 mystery box points in what seems like an unprecedented timespan. These three cardsmiths, I feel, and all future Mystery Boxers who reach 50 points, should be handsomely honored for their participation and commitment to this discussion.

Congrats on being featured this month on the blog! I love your creations, though I never favorite them (mostly cuz I reserve favorites for my mystery box prizes.) Real pleasure to throw a box at your face for the first time! Catch!!! Your mystery box contains:
Here's my attempt:

Keep 'em coming!
I'll make 22 (Energy Crystal) and 8 (Rusty Key) with the matrix numbers. Does the Energy Crystal duplicate the Rusty Key, or will it duplicate whatever the key opens up? Either way, I'll use both on my next box.
For Pawn (Negotiations) I choose [Matrix; Lotto Ticket Scratch-off; Aether Vial].
One mystery box with 3 very difficult challenges please.

Could I get a mystery box with an easy and a medium challenge?
Your mystery box contains:
- A Mystery Challenge: Create a monowhite creature that gets +1/+1 counters.
@cadstar369Your mystery box contains:
- A Mystery Challenge: Create a common card with the following terms on it: indestructible, hexproof, master, 2, 2.
- A Mystery Challenge: Create a Human with mana cost greater than it's P and it's T, but not greater than it's P/T when they're combined together, and that has a line separating its single ability from its single sentence of flavor text, but all card text takes up the full space in large or small font.
- A Mystery Challenge: Create a nonblack permanent with multiple creatures in the artwork, a quote from the creatures' leader, and that sacrifices itself when it enters play unless it does something involving your hand.

That second challenge had me stumped for a hot second; it's surprisingly hard to predict how much space an ability will take up.
I'll crack the timepiece now, and choose [08,10,22,34,42,48,67,69,92,99] for both Scratchies.
@hileandr glad to see you're enjoying your mystery boxes! Would you like to take Prize 98 – Green Substance (2-for-1 mystery boxes the remainder of the deadline) off my hands?
One Mystery Box with two medium challenges please!

You failed the second challenge. Re-read it. It's missing the line.
See how the flavor is cut-off by the stamp? I consider than more than one-card's worth of text. You'll need to shorten it so that the flavor ends one 'line' above where it currently ends.

Sure, I'll take that prize!

@jpastor
I'll take another! Also, I'll cash in my Reverse.
A Mystery Challenge:
Create an instant or sorcery that uses Phyrexian mana in its cost, but rewards the player for paying the full cost.
On mobile atm, so just a picture this time (the other post should still link to the updated card).
No worries about the Misc prize count @jpastor. I would've chosen that category anyway. I suppose that means Microphone still counts as a new prize, since that's not indicated in the previous post.
