You May Be a CARDsmith, But Are You a WORDSmith?
Hi. You all know me (I think). I'm Ranshi, that weirdo who's been here for 7 years, founder of the unofficial discord server, mod of the official one, started getting noticed back in 8th grade when I was making bad phobia cards.
I read the entirety of the kindle dictionary in a week, one summer. I am a nerd.
So let's do some learning, eh?
This is a self-regulated challenge, so feel no need to overperform! How it works is that every day I'm going to post a word both here and on my wall. This word will most often be that day's daily word from Dictionary.com, though it may be something else. Your job is to make a card that uses that word in its name (which is preferable) or in its flavor text.
Have fun!
Word of the Day! April 7th!
septentrion n. — (Obsolete) the north

I turned it into a mystery box prize shortly after. Now that Volume 1 is getting replaced by Volume 2, it won't be a prize anymore. Just saying, glad it was volume 1 instead of volume 2, or else people might have thought I took the idea from you!
Tergiversate v. — to change repeatedly one's attitude or opinions with respect to a cause, subject, etc.
phew. the wording is meaty, but it does work
cajolery n. — persuasion by flattery or promises; wheedling; coaxing.
(sorry I don't have a card yet for this. I only got up recently and have D&D in 30 minutes and didn't want to delay everyone's word too long!

Tbh I occasionally forget that Just for Fun Contests exists, but this looks really cool and will probably try to create a card for it most days if I can from now on.
