@EmolgAn You asked if your card from last week counted for your uncommon slot, and I don't understand. You submitted 3 starting cards, and then submitted 2 cards for last week's challenge, bringing you to all of your slots used. If there's something I'm missing here, please tell me.
@MemoryHead Well, I'm sorry to see you go, but if you've decided you don't want to continue I can't stop you. Goodbye, and good luck in other contests and sagas you may enter!
Anyways, like I said, the results will be posted later today, so @ThatOneCat and @ASubtleGhost, you two have not entered any submission to this challenge, so if you still wish to use the slot for the challenge instead of saving it, I suggest you do so quickly. You by no means have to, just a friendly reminder.
Next challenge will be up in a bit once I'm done grading everything.
One competitor has been eliminated, and one has quit. 10 of you remain.
Zafik, Ghost of Past Ages ( @ASubtleGhost) has been eliminated and whisked to some random place on a random plane.
The main reason you were eliminated was probably because you didn't really participate in the challenges and use the slots you were given. It's important to do the challenges because if you don't you run the risk of being eliminated. Anyways, I wish you luck in other contests and sagas you may enter, and feel free to continue following this journey if you so please!

After eliminations, I will be showing the standings so that you can see how close you are to being eliminated, and how many slots you have left. In later challenges I will also show the standings as of the last elimination to showcase any change in the ranks.

Anyways, without further ado, here is the next challenge!
Challenge 3: JAILBREAK!
During the battle, a stray beam of flame from the demon's mouth hit a nearby town, causing much destruction. The few witnesses to the event from the town only saw that you two were together, not that you were fighting, because they then promptly went and hid. As the demon was no longer there, they blamed you, imprisoning you as best they could in the city prison.
This challenge is a split challenge! This means you choose one of 2 options, and you get different new stats and have to complete a different challenge depending on which you choose!
Option A
If you choose this option, a local group of whatever type you choose hears of your imprisonment, and decides to help you out. They bust you out, and become your new allies, giving you a new color. For this challenge you must make a member/members of the group. These people must be monocolor in your new color.
You will get:
~1 additional color of your choice
~1 Uncommon slot
Option B
If you choose this option, you decide that you are fed up with being stuck in this jail and decide to bust out yourself. For this challenge, you must make a card representing how you escape the prison.
You will get:
~1 higher max CMC (bringing your max CMC to 5)
~1 Uncommon slot
You do not, I repeat DO NOT have to use these slots for the challenge. You can save as many of them as you want, or use all of them. It's up to you. Just keep in mind that cards made for challenges have the potential for 2 extra points if they fit the challenge.
Now, without further ado, Good Luck, Have Fun, and Happy Cardsmithing!
I'm having a lot of fun with this challenge so far, and congrats to @ThatOneCat for holding #1!
He calculates with his plane-spanning mind. It would only be a matter of days, maybe weeks before his mortal vessel rots away and he is trapped in the blind eternities again, perhaps forever this time.
*contnuation coming soon*
I used all my remaining slots to make two cards that represent "jail" in MtG. One to combat cards like Ixalan's Binding/ Prison Realm. The other to nullify Pacifism cards.
Cards coming soon.
That's allowed. Did it one of the last times.
"Once again, you are free, great deity!" exclaims an aged member of the group. He kneels to Bagej, and the rest do the same.
They are an ancient order who follow powerful beings whose attention they can catch (kind of like the Godseekers in Hollow Knights or the Minions in the movie Minions). Their longest worshipping streak was 400 years, where they revered a planeswalker who made his home on the world. One day though, when he was scheduled to return to the church for a ritual, he didn't show up. The group waited 50 years, but still, no sign of their patron saint. And so they moved on.
Times haven't been good recently, them revering a hive mind of trees here (they got chopped down by giants), a vampiric goblin sorcerer there (he got dismembered by noble vampiric elves), but the last few weeks, they have sensed a new force on the plane. Helenh recieved visions of an emblem, and carved it into his staff, and when Bagej's vessel got captured, he was immediately drawn to action.
And so yeah, I'm Orzhov now.
@HeroKP I should have stated this in the rules, but when you add a color you must create a new Planeswalker card to replace your old one that includes your new color. Also, you don't currently have a legendary slot to make your entry.
@Spookoops What option did you choose? I'm assuming B, but if you could let me know that would be great.
Also, I have edited the challenge to give you max 5 instead of 4 CMC, as it was brought to my attention that you already had 4 CMC from the last challenge.
Are we allowed to make incarnations of our character other than the main planeswalker to express story spotlights.
Wait, you need legendary slots? Sorry, that must have slipped through the cracks of my rules reading. Let's keep Helenh from a lore standpoint, but I will create another card for my actual entry.
Nai is used to escaping prison. He did it lots on kaladesh, as a strongly rooted rebel. He knew what it was like dealing with smugglers, so he released his own invention... the Smuggler’s Copter.
So here's one of the worshippers. Nothing too exciting, just a leveling engine.
New Bagej coming soon!
