Modal DFCs... but in Tarkir? (Contest - Looking for participants!)
Ok, so I had an idea for a challenge that struck me as having obvious creativity potential...
I'm no expert in MTG lore, but I believe (and correct me if I'm wrong) that in Fate Reforged, Sarkhan Vol did some sort of time manipulation, and altered the timeline of Tarkir, such that instead of being ruled by the Khans, Tarkir is ruled by the Dragonlords.
So, the challenge is: make a Modal DFC (double-faced card, i.e. the new style of card coming in Zendikar Rising) that represents the timeline of Khans of Tarkir on one side, and the timeline of Dragons of Tarkir on the other side.
Here are the rules:
1. No more than 3 entries per person. Since these are Modal DFCs, a single "entry" can be functionally two cards, each representing one "side". Thus, your submission should contain no more than 6 individual card images.
2. Each DFC must contain the Khans of Tarkir set symbol on one side and the Dragons of Tarkir set symbol on the other. You choose which one goes on the front vs. the back (it's up to you)!
3. Prizes are TBD atm (there may be some potential sponsored prizes provided by @murkletins - more info here).
4. I will judge entries based on all aspects of your card design, including, but not limited to: theme/lore, mechanics, aesthetics/flavor/art, synergy between both sides, and the "final touches" (e.g. artist credit, and lack of wording mistakes). Try to put a lot of thought/effort into your entries, since they're going to take twice as much effort anyway (to make both sides)...
5. There's no point in posting old cards, since you're unlikely to have made any that meet these requirements (but if by some weird coincidence you do have something that fits, it's ok to use it.)
6. Oh, and no Unset cards please. Try to make your submission as realistic as possible.
Here is some inspiration to get people started:

@SNAPcreator7 Nice!
@MemoryHead No problem! The frame style won't affect my judging anyway, and it looks good!
Hopefully we can get a few more participants to get the ball rolling so we can determine a time limit and add some prizes to the contest!
