... Welp. Guess all my cards involving Cure and Herbalism are about to be dropped into here, lol

TheGamingBolasChannel · April 2022

Guess I'll go first cause no one else has posted anything. I should note that Virus counters tend to bring negative effects when combined with cards from the Plague Cultist (B/G) faction from my Zelthorn set. Virus counters also add the virulent mechanic to creatures with them, which results in damage that creature deals to non-"infected" creatures creating a virus counter on them.

@Corwinnn counters still count towards this contest's theme right? If not I have other cards I could submit.

@TheGamingBolasChannel
It's a reach, but it's all open to interpretation. I think the sentiment is more along the lines of removal and board wipes, those are more of what we'll be looking for... instant gratification!

TheGamingBolasChannel · April 2022

I do have board wipe spells, but they are out there designs considering the style I make my sets

TheGamingBolasChannel · April 2022

Traditional Board Wipes (but with rage mana):

@TheGamingBolasChannel
Try making some new ones that are more generic removal spells/clean up cards.

TGBCGakurenZelthorn · April 2022

generic is boring though. *sad face*

(FYI im on my other computer so this is one of my alts)

TheGamingBolasChannel · April 2022

@jpastor not to mention the first two are closer to generic removal spells like that one red spell from the innistrad sets that does 13 damage to all creatures.

How convenient, I made this card just yesterday before I even saw this discussion.

@Jadefire that's not even close to a generic board wipe, but being generic wouldn't make this contest very interesting now would it, lol

jpastor · April 2022

Each creature gets +X/-X until end of turn.... sounds like a board wipe to me

@jpastor would you say my cards are board wipes even if they are unique ones?

hileandr · April 2022

Just made this for Mystery Box challenges:

@TheGamingBolasChannel
Even if they are, you should make some new cards for this discussion, whether they are unique or not

I'd like to see what you come up with!

TheGamingBolasChannel · April 2022

Sweda · April 2022

Wanted to call this Self Destruct Sequence but I couldn't find art for a spaceship or mecha self destructing that I liked, so had to use this.

TheGamingBolasChannel · April 2022

@Sweda did you look up exploding spaceships?

Sweda · April 2022

@TheGamingBolasChannel There were ships exploding but not quite what I was going for. I wanted a ship to be exploding at something not just one exploding because something shot it down or of it exploding and nothing near it.

TheGamingBolasChannel · April 2022

@Sweda. True, spaceships are far more expensive than current naval ships. Most images involving one ship ramming another are from movies so I'm guessing thats why you didn't use those.

Ranshi · April 2022

Why don't we clear up that one player's board? You know the one! The one whose board is too cluttered with creatures in all colors and lands to boot!

cadstar369 · April 2022

The quintessential (over)reaction: Kill it with fire!

KorandAngels · April 2022

About 2 years ago I made a card straight-up just called Spring Cleaning. I'll post it here even though I dont think these month threads like old cards.
