  • jpastorjpastor
    I guess I'm going to put my name in the hat for a mystery box - but a draft is coming soon, so I'll pick whatever is left undrafted.

    Prize 310: Personal Daily Gambit: Submit a card based on a song.
    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/harvest-fair

    Harvest Fair is based on the following song:

    The song evokes the vibe of a Renaissnance fair so i wanted to stay in the neighbourhood of a medieval festival or celebration flavourwise.  However the art for a busy marketplace was better than the others I found so I went with it.  For the card name, Market Festival was already taken so I went down the route of a harvest market.  The card is essentially a Gift of Paradise where the life gain is repeatable like Pristine Talisman, except it has the versatility to simultaneously fix multiple colours of mana and draw a card like Manamorphose.  It pretty much does everything green would want in a land enchantment: ramp, life gain, colour fixing, and drawing.
  • JadefireJadefire
    A Mystery Challenge: Create a Slith creature with two different abilities that are either triggered or activated.
    https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/primordial-slith


    If Slivers can have 5-colour legendary lords then Sliths should be able to as well.  Making a one-off legendary also gives the freedom to step farther away from artistic and design constraints imposed by existing cards, as can be seen from the legendary Slivers.  Since Sliths are a very limited tribe, I wanted to make the lord playable with Changelings while also imparting a benefit to actual Sliths.  The broadened trigger condition for growing your Sliths seemed to fit both needs.  For the second ability, I wanted another way to interact with other Sliths rather than have a bonus that just benefitted the lord.  Finding a use for the +1/+1 counters that would inevitably accumulate seemed to make sense, as did adding an ability to mitigate how easily killed Sliths are at in the beginning.

    Could I get another box?

    here is my entry, because of a prize i got i could enter anything i made in the last 3 days so this is it

    ok so this one is quite a simple design, i wanted to use this gorgeous art and it made sense that it was izzet creature that was an enchantment, the sleeping element and it having defender was more flavor with the art, its a cool izzet spells payoff for a theros limited set

    i would like another box please

    • Grab some grub and some beverages and have a seat at a picnic table for a bit
    Two Layer Cake (Double-stacked carousels) - A Two Sided Card Challenge where you'll receive two challenges, one for each side of a card. It's up to you how you'll combine the two cards
    • Take a ride on the grand carousel... or jog up the stairs to the mini carousel, perched on top of the grand carousel.
    The Cube - The Cube works in mysterious ways.
    • You might see which way is up, down, left, or right, but your body will not know what's happening to it!
    Hammer Swing - A back and forth challenge, where you'll give me a challenge, and I'll give you a challenge based on your challenge.
    • A superb way to fly in the air. You'll float up in your seat!
    Wrangler - You'll receive a challenge and submit your card... then I'll twist your card around and retaliate by changing the challenge around on you and you'll re-submit a new card!
    • Sometimes called the Wicked Twister. This coaster will launch you forward and backward, while sending upwards and downwards as you claw the air trying to hold on for dear life.
    Genie - Here's where the master of mystery will get you. An experimental challenge unlike anything you've ever experienced.
