  • @peasantics That's actually pretty close to the official wording, see these creatures.  To include a card image in your post, you'll need to download the image of the card you created and attach it with the button that looks like a landscape painting in the toolbar.
  • Shoot I was close, thanks for the clarification.

    Looks like this should work for attaching the image hopefully.
  • @peasantics prize 161
    Nebulous Reflection Pool 🌌 - Allows the user to replicate the exact effects of a previously successful challenge submission from their own repertoire.

    Trial 1: Select your plays to determine life loss.

    You have the upper hand, but only if you play reactively and use Skylark well. Your opponent has powerful cards, but they are timing- and condition-sensitive. Your cards can dismantle their threats before they stabilize.

    You likely win unless:

    • You blow Skylark too early and can’t stop Concoct.

    • They stabilize Liberty Prime with enough artifacts/energy.

    • You miss the timing window on Jinx (which is a removal spell disguised as a curse).

    ✅ Summary: Estimated Total Life Loss

    ThreatMax DamageRealistic Damage
    Liberty Prime (1 swing)80–5
    Haunting Imitation20–2
    Reanimated Prime (if any)80–5 (but avoidable)

    🎯 Total Possible: Up to ~18 damage
    🔒 Realistic if you play well: ~2–5 damage total

    @Jadefire EDIT: No need to select any decisions. You'll lose a number of life between 2-5, = 4 life lost. You continue to the second trial with 16 life.

    Trial 2: White/Artifact
    You're up against the following 3 cards. Submit 3 old or new cards to defeat this trial.

    Dovescape RNA Guild Kit 11
    Mirror Gallery Betrayers of Kamigawa 154
  • @jpastor May I get another box?
    Also just to clarify, does that reflection pool essentially allow me to successfully complete a challenge that I would otherwise fail?
  • @peasantics - i think it translates to "you get a copy of a prize you got in any other box you've completed"
  • @peasantics your mystery box contains:
    • A Mystery Challenge: Submit any old or newly made uncommon Behemoth

    ....redaction....
  • It took me a bit and I played around with some different ideas but I'm pretty satisfied with my end product, even if it might not be used that often because Vehicles don't seem to be too prominent in play.
    One uncommon Behemoth, which hopefully counts because I couldn't find examples of "Behemoth" as a creature type, but there were plenty of examples with it in the name. Granted most of them were beasts, but I opted for a Leviathan approach instead.
  • The Experiment ⚪🔵⚫🔴🟢 Phase 3

    When someone joins the forums.

  • Me a few days ago ^^
  • Being on the discord for like 2 days really reminded me how much I love the forums LOL
  • Mystery Box Fun Facts:

    Did you know?

    • Every 25 points you can craft a perk? Perks can be anything you want! Like if you love story-driven things, you can create a perk that says "Give me only story-driven challenges."
    • The deadlines are now free-for-all 1-v-1 challenges like in the League Tower. You can eliminate people by challenging them with one of your entries. Earning you 1 point for each card you eliminate!
    • The Vault contains just about everything you can think of: the amusement park thread, old contests, sagas, games, and so much more.
    • 225 cardsmiths have tried mystery boxes?

  • Oops, time has been seriously escaping me what with work, poor sleep, etc. 
    aim is to finally get to my prompt tomorrow or otherwise before the weekend.
  • @Jadefire

    There are no good scenarios where you're guaranteed to lose life. However, it is possible there are a few flyers on the board that would warrant you wanting to cast Varchild with a kicker... maybe we can assume 3 or more are out there. It is possible they were swinging before you could blast them away. SO, at most, you lose 3 life in this scenario. You're down to 13 life

  • May I get another mystery box?
  • @peasantics your mystery box contains:
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create a card with an ETB effect that has each player discard a card and then does something based on how the cards compare with one another.
  • Sorry for the delay, I let this challenge slip out of my mind until this morning and I kind of rushed to put this together.
