    Build-a-Box Draft

    Prize options:

    • [no prize]
    • [no prize]
    • [no prize]
    • Prize 46 - Choose an Orb
    • [no prize]
    • Prize 48 - Scratchie

    Challenge options:

    • Monster Attacks Again: You are the monster on board the space vessel. A distressed passenger wanders alone to areas with no staff around. You sniff out this victim and proceed to making them your second victim. Create a kill spell.
    • Vent Investigation: You are one of the nauseous passengers who is tirelessly wandering about the passenger cabin in search of the pungent odor that fills the cabin. You stumble across a floor vent and discover the odor is indeed coming from there. You find an emergency flashlight on the wall nearby and shine the light in there. Something scurries past your vision from within the vent. You can't get a good look inside, so you decide to lift open the vent. It's not screwed in, so this was easy. The vent is pretty large, about the size of your head. You lie down next to the hole and poke your head in cautiously, shining the light to see. The smell is unbearable. The last thing you see is a mass of scurrying RATS running towards you. Create a rat creature card with multiple rats in the artwork.
    • Vermin Infestation: The man investagating the vent's head gets stuck inside the vent as the rats begin to attack his face. The rats eat their way through this face, entering his skull, and eat their way out the back of his brain, entering the passenger cabin. People begin screaming as rats swarm around their feet. People start running to the nearest exits, trampling over anyone that falls. It's chaos! Create a card with the word Panic in its name.
    • Second Victim: The security platoon stumbles into a room with a horrid sight awaiting them. They round a corner and spot the large monster devouring the remains of the roaming passenger. In horror, they open fire. The creature scurries away and enters a panel in the ceiling before disappearing out of sight. Create a spell that returns a creature to its owner's hand.
    • A Wise Bad Decision: The search party returns to the staff room to find nobody there except the shift leader. The shift leader informs the search party to return to their normal duties of monitoring the passenger cabin. When they approach the cabin, they hear the screaming in the distance and spot passengers running away. They try to stop one to see what's going on, but they only yell, "RUN!" The staff hustles to the cabin to spot the horror scene, rats are covering passengers, who are stuck, crawling, screaming, being clawed and eaten alive. One of the staff members bashes a glass panel on the wall. The passenger cabin door slides shut and locks. "Why'd you activate the fire lock? Now those passengers are done for," one staff blasts the other... Create a card that detains or prevents a creature from attacking or dealing combat damage.
    • Defense Mode Engaged: The security platoon calls in to the shift leader to report there is a monster on board eating people. You are the shift leader, and you spring into action. You lock down your room, and head to a cabinet, where you equip yourself with your best defense. Create an Equipment card.

    • An event mystery challenge. It's not long before the rats find there way into more vents and around the safety door.

Attacking people, eating their ears, and pummeling them to the ground. Create a spell that inflicts weakness on creatures you don't control.

    The art seems more appropriate for Vermin Infestation but works for this challenge.

    I'm not sure if the last Prize 8 - Rusty Key I activated was accounted for because the Black Friday draft started immediately afterwards, so I'll activate it again JIC.  Can I get another mystery box?

    https://forums.mtgcardsmith.com/discussion/comment/222333#Comment_222333
    Since there were no more Prizes for Prizes left, I'll take a Prizes for Entries instead for my substituted Prize 89 - Discovery.

    EDIT: Updated the card's wording.  Thanks for the suggestion @cadstar369.

    @Jadefire
    Your new prize = Prize 15 - Encounter: Activate your 5 card encounter any time.
    Your mystery box contains:
    • A rusty key prize was added to the draft as a selection.
    • An Event Mystery Challenge: It seems as though we're down to the pilots of the ship, who have no idea of the chaos taking place on their ship; the security platoon; and the shift leader. The security platoon finds the rats swarming the carcasses of the passengers and fellow staff members. Good thing they're equipped with flamethrowers. Create a mono-red extermination spell.
    • Prize 16 - Champions' Pendant: Duel the previous deadline's winner. Activate any time.
    @cadstar369
    Scratchie prize = Prize 22 - Energy Crystal: x2 prize contents in your next box upon activation. Your mystery box contains:
    • An Event Mystery Challenge: After the security team exterminates the rats, they head to the ship's bridge to notify the captain and co-pilots of the situation. They immediately call for a mayday and receive instructions to a secure spaceport, where they'll receive further instructions. Autopilot course plotted, they now have plenty of time to deal with what comes next. Create a spell that allows you to scry five or more cards.
    @hileandr your equation results in the average = 25. Prize 25 - Report Card: A favorite on all entries you've submitted this deadline that I like. (provided shortly)
    Your two cookies event mystery box contains:
    • Prize 1 - Tumult: Choose Solo, Duel, or Moshpit to activate a tumultuous mystery challenge.
    • An event mystery challenge: The shift leader is all alone with his frost axe. He hears clattering in the vents. Something crashes through the ceiling. In horror, he mercifully lowers his axe as the Rat Beast has already struck a hole into his chest, ripping out his heart and lungs with its claws. The creature exits the room back through the ceiling. As it approaches the pilots and security platoon, it ambushes a couple of the platoon members, tearing their heads from their bodies. One of the pilots jumps onto the creature's back, strangling it from behind. The creature hunches over as the platoon members begin to open fire. The creature spins in circles and the pilot is annihilated by the platoon's shots. As he falls off the beast's back, the beast's skin begins to split open, releasing a swarm of rats from its body. The rats claw their way up the other pilot's legs. The security platoon continues to fire on the beast, which has now dropped to both its knees. The beast lays down as shots rip its flesh from its body. It's dead. The pilot, screaming in horror, eventually runs right into a wall. The remaining two members of the platoon reign fire on the rats, incinerating the pilot's flesh as well. The beast has been slain. Create a creature that sacrifices itself to create creature tokens.
    • or
    • An event mystery challenge: As the security platoon arrives at the staff quarters, the doors are locked. The shift leader on the inside cowers in fear and refuses to let them in. The shift leader, sweaty, tightens the grip on his frost axe as he hears screaming and banging from the other side of the door. Shots fired, more screaming. More banging. It all goes quiet when something gets heaved at the door, putting a large dent in it and cracking it open. The shift leader approaches the door with his axe in hand. Coughing through the smoke, he begins to notice as it thins out that he's surrounded by the remains of his security platoon. A pilot's body has been thrown violently into the security door. He hears a snarl and retreats quickly into his quarters once again and tries to hide in his weapon locker. He struggles to shut the door as he sees the Rat Beast approaching him. He freezes. The beast looks around the room. Then, it approaches the locker, sniffing. It turns around and the staff leader starts to think he successfully hid from the beast. A slight breath of relief. The exhale... the creature spins around and smashes its fist into the locker, ripping the door clean off. The creature stands tall as it surveils its final victim. Then, it reaches in and picks the man up with both arms.... The ship has now arrived at the security facility. With no response coming from the vessel, the security station decides to open fire, knowing the situation that the ship contains a violent predator on the loose. The ship is blown to pieces along with all living creatures and all corporeal remains on board. Create a spell that exiles a permanent.
