Mystery Box 2.0: Endless Design Quest
Welcome to the Mystery Box 2.0: Endless Design Quest! This revamped version of the original Mystery Box Challenges is designed to spark creativity and foster endless fun for MTG enthusiasts. Whether you're a veteran smith or a newcomer, dive in anytime to test your design skills and uncover unique surprises.
What is the Endless Design Quest?
- Ongoing and Infinite: This is a perpetual challenge—you can join, take breaks, and return whenever inspiration strikes.
- Mystery Awaits: Ask for a box, and I’ll provide you with a design challenge and possibly a special twist or reward.
- New Cards: Challenges will focus on creating new cards unless the box explicitly allows otherwise.
- Accessibility: Jump in at any point. No strict deadlines—submit when ready.
How It Works
- Request a Box: Simply post “I’d like a box!” (or any variation) to start.
- Open Your Box: I’ll reveal its contents, which could include:
- A challenge to create a card based on a theme, mechanic, or specific constraint.
- A twist, like designing in a particular set's flavor or using custom art.
- A reward, such as receiving favorites or earning special perks for your creations.
- Design & Submit: Fulfill the challenge by posting your card. Add your design notes if you’d like to share your creative process!
- Repeat as Desired: Once you've completed a challenge, you're free to open another box.
Spotlights & Recognition
- Favorites: Every participant will earn favorites for participating, with extra favorites for stellar submissions.
- Mystery Winners: At random intervals, I’ll highlight standout cards as winners, and their creators will receive a bonus reward.
- Community Voting: Occasionally, I’ll feature cards for the community to vote on in special spotlight events.
The Quest Adds New Layers
To keep things exciting, the Endless Design Quest includes the following innovations:
- Thematic Seasons: Periodic updates will introduce overarching themes (e.g., "Forgotten Realms," "Cosmic Chaos") for bonus flavor points.
- Achievement System: Track your progress with milestones like "First Submission," "5 Boxes Opened," or "Community Favorite."
- Random Wild Cards: Boxes might contain a wild card, like the ability to swap challenges with someone else or submit a previously made card.
- Collaborative Challenges: Some boxes may encourage teaming up with others for a joint design project.
