    (New Puzzle Box Every Thursday)

    The Maze of Mirrors ?
    You come across an intricate maze of enchanted mirrors, each reflecting a different challenge. Your task is to navigate through the maze, countering each challenge with your cards to unveil the path to victory.
    There are four enchanted mirrors on the battlefield. Each mirror has a unique ability and reflects a different challenge. Your objective is to successfully counter the challenges and shatter the mirrors.

    Mirror Challenges:

    1. ?Mirror of Flames ? This mirror reflects a wall of fire that engulfs the battlefield.
    2. ?Mirror of Illusions ? The mirror casts illusions that confuse your creatures. 
    3. ?Mirror of Reflection ✨ The mirror reflects your own creatures against you.
    4. ?Mirror of Enchantment ? This mirror enchants your creatures with a mind-controlling aura.

    Your Objective:

    • Analyze each mirror's challenge and come up with a strategic card submission for each one.
    • Create cards that directly counter the mirror's effects.
    • Once you believe you've solved the puzzle, submit your card solutions.

    Rewards:
    1. Puzzle Master Badge ? awarded to participants who presented the optimal solutions. 
    2. Additional favorites and 〽️ given for creative and effective puzzle-solving strategies.

    would ye care to try the Puzzle box - i heard from a noble pal that it serves the soul wonders that cannot be fathomed? Least I think that's what he said. Anyways you measly rat, here's yer scurvy dog pirate box full o' blunderous wonderous ... things:
    • A Mystery Challenge for a Scally Wag: Matey Macaw ? Choose any challenge from any in the same posts as your box for the remainder of the deadline.
    • A Grub-filled Tankard full of mediocre prizes for me lad: Create a card that references a Plane card from the Kamigawa plane.
    Fer the record, I'm pretty positive that this here treasure chest comes straight from the filthy hands of Davy Jones himself. Ye best take yer time with it. Wouldn't want to upset the calm currents on these usually untreacherous seas.

    @jpastor

    Might as well take a stab at this week's puzzle box.

    For the Mirror of Flames:

    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/senate-peacekeeper?list=user

    My idea was that the flames probably represented damage based board wipes, which Senate Peacekeeper protects you from.

    For the Mirror of Illusions:

    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/amulet-of-certainty-2?list=user

    My idea was that the confusion aspect probably represented controlling how your creatures attack, which Amulet of Certainty protects you from.

    For the Mirror of Reflection:

    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/echo-of-silence-4?list=user

    My idea was that reflection represented copying/creating token copies of your stuff, which Echo of Silence protects you from.

    For the Mirror of Enchantment:

    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/unwavering-loyalty-2?list=user

    My idea was that the enchantment aspect probably represented gaining control or using stuff like Control Magic or Mind Control to steal your stuff. Unwavering loyalty protects you from it all.
