    ... NEW DEADLINE STARTS NOW ...

     - The Mystery Box Carnival is now OPEN, thanks to @samconsumespie


    We have 6 all new activities! Please request one from amongst the following when you request your mystery box this deadline!

    Yummy Food - A Normal Mystery Box
    • 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.
    • The Genie is a magical coaster that looks like a curly mustache!

    Hello everyone! We need 2 more prizes to reach 500. I'm opening this up to the world to help create 2 more prizes. Please let me know what you'd like to see as a Mystery Box Prize.

    Mystery Box Prize List Discussion

    Instead of destroying these forums, I've worked diligently to create the following encyclopedia of mystery box prizes. Here, you will be able to view any prize at any time and receive a full explanation as well as comment any question you have directly in the appropriate category. As well, this organizational masterpiece (yes, I'm calling it that) categorizes every mystery box prize into easily referenceable categories... all in one spot for your convenience!

    Announcements to Make

    1. New prizes have been added that will make more of an effort to draw in more participation from outside the forums!
    2. Competitive Rating on the leaderboards will soon reflect only your duels. Moshpits will no longer impact competitive rating. (Working on this as we speak.)
    3. A new prize system is now live for earning your first 10 Mystery Points. When you earn your 1st through your 10th point, you'll get 1 prize of your choice (Nonpremium).
    4. Referring a friend: When a new cardsmith joins the Mystery Box Challenges, I'll ask if they were referred here by another cardsmith. If so, the referring cardsmith will earn 1 non-premium prize of their choice.

    Announcements to Make

    1. Over the next few months, I'll be deleting unwanted prizes from the prize list in an effort to boost the ratios of receiving more favorable prizes. As such, prize numbers will shift unexpectedly. This includes unwanted modes.
    2. On the flip of deleting prizes, I'll also be adding a few more modes that will serve to temporarily reduce the number of prizes that are earnable. For example, a deadline where there are 25 prizes earnable, and a deadline where all prizes are in categories and you may choose any prize you want from that category.
    3. In the middle ground of #1 and #2.. some prizes will be merged into one prize. So, expect certain existing prizes to change slightly as this process unfolds.
    4. A Mini-Saga is underway in the primary discussion. While active, anyone can request regular mystery boxes for the ongoing Music Deadline.
    5. Posting a for fun contest that will be the only place you can find certain modes of mystery boxes, mostly mini-games. Many of the modes that I delete from the prize list will end up here as formats for the games themselves. All mini-games will move there permanently and right away. It's a just for fun discussion, but if there's enough interest, I'll keep stats and turn it into a mystery box sub-discussion.

    Hello everyone,

    Mystery Box Tournaments will soon take the place of several mystery modes. While some modes will still remain as prizes in the Mystery Box discussion, the bulk of them will only be available to you in the tournaments above.

    In addition to mystery modes, a couple of tournaments have been added to provide a unique competition for "Story of the Year," "Set of the Year," and "Mechanics of the Year," as well as an entire tournament focused around artwork (be it your own or otherwise.)

    The dates listed above are for entry submission. Details and challenges, etc. will be given out in advance to provide you with adequate time for creation and enrollment!

    OPEN = Open to anyone
    CLOSED = You will be invited via a tag for that tournament.

    Say goodbye to bombs and other explosive prizes.

  • JadefireJadefire
    I presume this also applies to bomb-cancelling prizes?  What happens to unspent prizes, do they just disappear or are they traded in for something else?

    Don't worry - i'll explain
