FangQuil If you make commanders with "Partner with..." they should be both one-cmc, but you can make a pair with just one of them being like that, because I'm interested, what you come up with, but it will not be counted towards your entry limit and will not enter judging. If I like them though, you could get some reward on the side.
Also judging will happen tomorrow, which is later, than I anticipated, but I took a week off in the meantime. Last few hours to submit your commanders!
@FangQuil I love your The Long Shadow card. You mentioned in the card comments that you were fiddling with the command zone tax. Would black Phyrexian mana solve your concern? "{p/b}{p/b}: Put The Long Shadow onto the battlefield from the command zone."
@TerryTags Thanks a lot! And unfortunately no, I don't believe so. What I wanted was for the life loss to replace the standard commander tax, so the second time you cast it it would cost B and 2 life, then the second it'd cost B and 4 life and so on and so on. The way it currently works the tax doesn't increase, same thing if I were to use phyrexian mana. Thanks for the feedback though!
When paying The Long Shadow's mana cost, you may treat generic mana as if it is that much {p/b}.
OR
Pay 2 life: The Long Shadow costs {1} less to cast from the command zone until end of turn.
Really not sure if the wording makes any sense, but the idea is that the cost still increases with commander tax instead of staying at a static {b} and 3 life.
@SteampunkDragon Interesting, I think that the second concept would work! The only issue I see is that it lets you instantly lower your life as low as you want, so still not totally ideal.
My criteria and point system: - 10 balance - 10 graphics, text design, wordin, etc - 10 design, originality, abilities - 5 is it an interesting commander
Now first for the Honorable Mentions. We have: @SpellPiper2213 with Lesovikk, Bloodcaller. You came very close with 30 points out of 35. The same goes for @GameQnQ with Balast, Carrier Fortress. Good job! You both get a fave on any card you created.
And the top three! 3rd is @FangQuil with Taurfel, Watcher of Laylines, also with 30 points, but it won in the tie in my eyes. Very original. Three faves. 2nd is @CassZero with Riandra, Provocator of Emotions. Nice 31 points and four faves are awarded. And 1st is @SteampunkDragon with Sohka, Arena Sanguinemancer and 33 points. Wery well done, also fun fact - both your other cards scored 30, but you can be on the win-list just once xd. Five faves, my friend.
