(Most of my oldest cards was either deleted or edited and show a newer year on the card then when they was originally published.) I will grab a creature one I like and make another version of the creature for this since I saw that has happened already.
I have grown as a cardsmith since 2017. I once made loads of cards all at once themed after movies or other things and would make movie cards without having seen the movie recently. Now I only make 1 card at a time each time I watch a movie. I used to put unknown artists and never bothered double checking color identity for mechanics. I use to skip revising for balance and would just type what came to mind. Following the mechanic in the old card of using creatures as a means of generating mana for casting creature spells, the new card above showcases all the improved efforts I put in to making cards now. This card is themed after a movie I saw a couple days ago for maybe the 10th time in my life:
There were a ton of issues with the first one, such as the changeling ability, and the fact that I forgot to make it legendary. The first one I made only last year, but you guys have helped me improve so much since then!
I think this was my very first card, actually (I made it 2 years ago!). It got purged from the site since I didn't use to have premium, so I had to dig through my old Photoshop files from when I actually printed this thing to make a custom "Clash Royale" deck (imagine my cousin's cringey-ness!). I've now remade it as a new card for the new version.
I remade some of my oldest and most defining cards back in December. My good ol' phobia cards. Seeing as I had edited the originals, I needed to do a lot of digging in order to find the mosntrosities that first got people interested in me.
The old will be on the left and the new will be on the right, but then again the difference in quality will likely speak for itself.
And for those wondering what the partner to the newer version of Achluophobia is, here it is.

Nice! That was a submission to an old contest of mine, right?

To be honest, I have not much of ideas about which one is better. Although the flavor of the old one is kind of out of place, I believe.
