Journey to Blightwood


Art by Jeremy Fenske

Greetings Fellow Smiths.

Welcome to my 17th Contest.
Today, I have something a little different for you.
Some of you know that I am currently constructing a custom set, and I would like your help.

The way this contest will work:
There are five factions in my set. You will pick one faction to make cards for. 
At the conclusion of the contest, I will select the 3 best cards from among all those created. They will be the winners, each will win a Trophy, a place in the Hall of Fame, and prizes accordingly; 1st: A follow and 5 faves of their choice, 2nd: 4 faves of their choice, and 3rd 3 faves of their choice. 
Then, there will be a Top Ten. For each faction that is represented in the Top Ten, each Smith that created cards for those factions will each receive a favorite. In addition, those who created cards that made it into the Top Ten will receive favorites on those cards.

If this sounds like the War of The Wolves contest, it does draw inspiration from the formatting of that contest.

In addition to the prizes, the three winners and top tens will have a place in my set. Other cards will have a chance at getting in, but the winners and top ten have priority.

So, without further ado, I will put in plain view the prizes, and the five factions.

All places get a Trophy, and a spot in the Hall of Fame.
1st: A follow and 5 Favorites of their choice.
2nd: 4 favorites of their choice.
3rd: 3 Favorites of their choice.
Top Ten; Each card will receive a Favorite. 
In addition, any smith who created cards for a faction represented in the Top Ten will receive 1 Favorite of their choice.

Factions
Blightwood
The Blightwood is full of vicious creatures. With danger around every corner, one must be extremely careful. 
The main mechanic for this faction is Mutate from the new Ikoria set. Their colors are Black Red and Green.

The Solmenari Conclave
The elves of this plane are organized in clans and guard the border of the Blightwood, keeping people out, and preventing things from coming out.
Their main mechanic is Populate. Their colors are White, Blue, and Green.

Englewood
The denizens of Englewood are a conglomeration of Humans and Dwarves. They are a society of just soldiers and merchants.
Their main mechanic is Support. Their colors are White, Red, and Green.

The Blackhand Corsairs.
The Raiders of Captian Rufius Blackhand are vicious pirates who plunder the shores of Englewood for riches.
Their main mechanic is Raid. Their colors are Blue, Black, and Red.

The Skrall College.
The Wizards and Scholars of the Skrall College have come to the Blightwood to study a massive ruin that is rumored to hold a dark entity.
Their main mechanic is Investigate. They also have a good deal of artifact synergy. Their colors are White, Blue, and Black.

Pick one of the above factions to make cards for. You may post pictures, but the more pictures there are, the longer it will take for me to wade through them. To prevent me from having to slog through massive amounts of pictures, you will have a limit of 10 pictures. Once you have posted 10 pictures, you will have to post further cards as a link. If you are using MSE to make cards, there may be some leeway.

You have until May 22nd, then I will close for judging.

Good luck, and happy smithing.

I am including the art that I have currently been using. Feel free to use it.
