    Sorry, I got a little overwhelmed (I assumed fewer people would enter based on the complexity of the challenge, I got way more entry this weekend that I though I'd get over one week) so I'm going to have to restrict it to one entry per person because I'm not on holidays — like, right now I'm supposed to go to work XD — and I'm starting to wonder if the number of packs I prepared (which I assumed was ten times the number I needed) is going to be enough >.<

  • @ningyounk Don’t worry! This is an awesome challenge! I remember you mentioning that you were doing your PhD, right? Focus on that for sure! I know how difficult it can be :smile:.

    Do Vehicles count as artifact creatures?
    Edit: Never mind.
  • Here they are:


    0 cost


    The flavour is stretched due to the guns, and the mechanics are not entirely appropriate, but still.



    Tapping

    Equipment are artifacts, and with the counters theme I feel it ties into the Abzan suitably.



    Artifact creature

    Really, I just couldn't find any art for this one. But I find the fact that your opponents can force you to block with it is sensible for a building.
  • I would like to join.
  • @ningyounk I’ll take the Lightning Speed and for flavor I’ll take #37
  • I would like Mystical Arts and pack flavor #22
  • @Dizzydude

    You're in for a challenge with this one, Lightning Speed #37 incoming:

     

    Yep, a sorcery card that can be played at instant speed xD If you're lost, you can look at cards such as Rout and Swift Recknoning for help ^^ As for the flavour pack:

     

    You are not allowed to use any color. Again, if you're lost, look at some of the colorless spell from the Oath of the Gatewatch set to help you! This has to be one of the hardest combination I've seen in this challenge so far, I hope you can make it!

    @fire12

    Here is Mystical Arts #22 for you!

     


    All cards must be based on a deck based on casting noncreature spells à la Jeskai! If the third restriction confuses you, think cards like Frantic Inventory or Goblin Gathering. And for the flavour to go with it:

     

    All your cards must take place in the sky! Anything is fair as long as it flavourfully is linked to the sky or anything in the air, without using red or green. Good luck!

    @ningyounk lol, I’ll try to try my best!
  • I can’t stop laughing at myself for doing this this to me.  :D :D
  • @ningyounk
    Regarding my pack for the card of 12 words or less, would it be counting name, subtype and type or just the text box?

  • @CassZero
    Nope sorry, I meant just the rules text ^^
  • @ningyounk, I'll join. Smoke and Mirrors please.
  • @joemamajoe You also need a flavor pack!
  • @ningyounk Is @Dizzydude allowed to use devoid?
  • @ningyounk, Flavor pack number five please.
  • @shadow123, I forgot! Fixed.

    @shadow123

    No, the flavour pack indicates colour identity so Devoid would be cheating here ^^ The idea behind Dizzydude's flavour pack is to design around true colorless cards such as Ulamog or Spatial Contortion ^^

    @joemamajoe

    Smoke and Mirrors #5 it is!

     


     

    Alright it's a copy-based pack BUT you don't get any blue or green in there so it's definitely going to get interesting ^^ Also I just realised that the first restriction is not precise enough and would be fulfilled by the third sorry, it's a *PERMANENT* not just any card, my bad >.< Good luck!

    The next person who wants to join can choose one design pack and one flavor pack from those six:

      

      
  • @ningyounk Wow...now that's really difficult.
  • @ningyounk, my cards have to suite both themes right? So, they have to be vampire copy cards one of each rarity.
  • @shadow123, I know. I'm scared.
  • @joemamajoe

    Haha yeap, but don't worry the Vampire theme is only for flavour, your cards don't need to care about vampires in any way and the slightest hint at a vampire flavour is fair game, from a name to a glass of blood in the illustration somewhere ^^ Focus about how to make the copy theme work first, then see how you would dress it up so it has a vampire feel ;) 
  • I hope this is okay...

    Noncreature is in Prowess, but if that doesn't work, I can always make another card.
  • @ningyounk, that didn't ping me... anyway, thanks for the help!
  • Can I do it again?
  • @fire12

    Prowess is perfectly ok for the noncreature-matters pack ^^


    @KorandAngels

    Sorry, I misjudged the number of participants I was going to get so I have to restrict it to once per person >.<
  • @ningyounk, Smoke and Mirrors #15 done! Hope these make the criteria!


    Mythic, Meets criteria #1:

    Bloodsworn Vampires


    Rare, Meets criteria #3

    Vampiric Realities


    Uncommon, Meets criteria #2

    Frenzied Vampires


    Common, Meets criteria #1

    Vampiric Horror
  • This is CustomStart's ONE WEEK ANNIVERSARY!

    Yay!

    Also, @ningyounk, I have not dropped out, I am working on my entry, which will be ready for the 16th. I just want it to be as perfect as possible!
