    Things to do:

    • Stay up late on a saturday night with friends I don't personally know <-- haha!
    • Catch up on some boxes
    • Discuss prize ideas for 2.0 openly :)
    • Eventually go to bed.

    @hileandr
    While we did not end up with a shared prize for this, here is the reverse challenge entry.

    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/phyrexian-fire-2

    Your mystery box contains:
    • Premium Prize 100 - Infinity Shard: Due to the infinite loopy nature of this prize and the fact that the odds of getting struck by lightning are probably higher than getting this twice on the same page... let's just redeem this as a Wildcard instead: Choose any nonpremium prize you'd like. https://mystery-boxes.webs.com/
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create a firebreathing creature that can be cycled.


    @cadstar369

    • Prize 94 - Mood Ring: Negotiations for a mode. Choose 4 modes you'd like. I'll select 1.
    • Premium Prize 32 - Jadefire Special: 4 random prizes
    Jadefire Special gives you:
    • Prize 5 - Reverse: Cash this prize in any time you'd like by giving me a mystery challenge, you and I both share a 50/50 shot at the same random mystery box prize in exchange for you giving me a mystery challenge.
    • Premium Prize 63 - Angel Stone: The winner of the deadline you activate this in gets a premium prize.
    • Prize 7 - Madman's Glasses: You get 2 challenge options the rest of this deadline. You pick which to submit for.
    • Prize 98 - Green Substance: 2-for-1 mystery boxes the rest of the deadline when activated.
    Your mystery box contains:

    • Prize 59 - Fools' Gold: Name two cardsmiths to duel.
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create an Incarnation creature with a 6 letter name.

    I just want to say, based on my rudimentary math skills, you had a 0.0000182481% chance of scoring that prize twice on the same page via mystery boxes.

    Just saying. Oh and the probably of getting struck by lightning... twice = 00001111111

    Prize 74 - Teddy Bear: You may have gift another mystery box to another cardsmith.

    "As a play on the formatting of a card, create a card with static combat abilities and an activated ability, but no space in between them. (Just don't skip an extra space in between when typing the card.)"

    I have some questions:
    does there have to be multiple static combat abilities, or can there just be one?
    if so, is the removed space between the combat abilities themselves, or the combat abilities and the activated abilities?
  • jpastorjpastor

    He can't be bleat
