MTG Cardsmith Community Forums
Futile, Pointless, Convoluted and so on! RESULTS!
First of all, I love this site and I love MTG! Having just returned to this site after 3 years, I thought a contest was in order so I can get involved with this great community more!
As much as I love MTG, I love to see the cards that are pointless, needlessly complex and will be quickly consigned to the draft chaff pile at your LGS.
I would love to see any cards that are either completely pointless, needlessly complex for what they perform or a card that will be guaranteed to cause an argument over how it is used. The more humour you can throw into the mix, the better!
I've added a couple of examples. The first is this needlessly complex load of garbage:
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/citidel-of-confusion
Followed by a pointless card:
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/futility
And lastly, a remake of a famous card. In this case, this is a spoof of Progenitus:
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/pregenitus
I absolutely love humour based cards and this can be inserted any way you see fit. I hope this contest is alright for the site and I would love to hear from any of you in the process! Give me your 'Sorrow's path', 'Razor Boomerang', 'Wood Elemental' and 'Bargain' equivalent cards!

Possibly should be asking this before entering this old card, but are old cards allowed? Also, is there an entry limit?
I've amended the rules up above to reflect the changes. Cards old or new are fine and I'd like to set it to a limit of 3 cards per entrant.
That's a great start to the contest, thank you!
I will have to set my sights on making the ultimate properly useless card now!

This card is great for being able to see a card in your deck whenever you play a land.
As I've really liked the response so far, I've added a 4th place prize of a favourite card of that winner's choice and shortly after this contest is over, I have an idea for a contest in the very near future where I will gift a month of premium membership to the 1st place winner!
I've added some more truly pointless cards here to get your thoughts going. Feel free to find some use for this cardboard filth:

We at the Citadel of Confusion hate your card
@ThePhantomJoker
This was beautifully pointless, well done!
@MemoryHead
The switch between a potentially powerful card and what it becomes is great. Thank you!
@Brainifyer
I absolutely loved all 3 of these 'Department' cards. Between them, they were ludicrously pointless
Please join in with my next contest where there will be prizes of 1-month subscriptions up for grabs.
Card of my choice: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/call-of-the-blightweald
Also, dammit, this is the FOURTH time I've gotten fourth place!
Just done it. Thank you for your entry. I'll call your placing a 'second place third placer' instead
Please feel free to enter the new competition I have just added. There is a prize of membership with this one.
