Arise ye Tarnished - an Elden Ring Contest
As I'm sure some of you are, I've been completely engrossed with Elden Ring since it came out. With over 140 hours played to date, I felt a need to create something related to it, and made a magic card. I could make many more cards, but instead I think it would be better if I invite the community to participate to see what ideas Elden Ring has created within each of you (if any). So, arise, ye tarnished, and show the world (or the forums and I) your Elden Ring inspired cards!
Rules:
- Up to 3 cards per person.
- Realism: Cards should be balanced and have proper formatting.
- Creativity: Try to avoid a card that just shows a bald eagle as a 2/2 bird with flying and no skills.
- Story: Cards should, where possible, have flavor text and a brief explanation should be provided with the post if needed.
- Art: Please do NOT use any actual MTG art on your cards. I will heavily penalize cards that use MTG art. Please credit the artist if possible (and if you know the artist for the card I posted, let me know so I can add it).
- Newness: Please submit new cards and ideas. If you want to submit older cards, you may do so, but this will be used as a tiebreaker (where new creations rank higher against similar older cards).
For the winners:
Each Category:
- 1st: a follow, 5 likes of your choice.
- 2nd: 4 likes of your choice.
- 3rd: 3 likes of your choice.
- Honorable Mentions (if any): 2 likes of my choice.
Lastly, this contest ends at 5:00 PM EST on April 28th (3 weeks from today). I will post the winners within a week of that day at the latest.
Thank you, and best of luck to you all.
P.S. for some inspiration, here is a card of Ranni I created earlier today.

Couldn't find good art for any sorceries/incantations, so I made some shots in game.
Lichdragon Fortissax // Golden Death Lightning is an MDFC.
Explanations (Includes spoilers)
- Blaidd is the wolf given to the Empyrean Ranni by the Two Fingers (on behalf of the Greater Will) to be her shadow. He has a frost weapon art, hence the tap-down mechanic similar to Kamigawa snakes.
Briars of Sin- Thorn sorcery that costs HP to cast. Replicate represents the player's ability to chain cast the spell. Notably, unlike most spells that can be chain cast, the thorn sorceries perform differently after the first cast, but I thought that would be too clunky to try and implement that here.
