Year of Conjuring Reverse Challenge SUGGESTION PAGE

TommiaTommia
edited January 2023 in Just for Fun Contests
Hello everyone! You're probably used to seeing reverse challenges like this, since they aren't anything that new on the forums. However, they can be a great tool for helping designers think outside the box, which is why I'm going to be doing one of my own. This is inspired by DomriKade's year of design, but mine's going to have a twist; every day, I have to do a challenge based on a prompt submitted by one of our community members here or on Discord.

How the challenge works:
  • Submit any prompts you have for a card to be made, within reason. Uncard prompts are fine, as well as complex prompts, but I have to be able to make a playable end result. You can submit multiple prompts, be them at once or across multiple posts, but please don't flood the discussion.
  • I'll randomize the prompts into 30 prompt blocks picked from across every 14 days (a fortnight), rather than drawing on prompts in direct chronological order; that way I can minimize any chance of me subconsciously preparing in advance.
  • I'll try my best to post at least a rough draft on my custom MTG Discord server of my response to the daily prompt. I must make this card as balanced and playable as possible, to the best of my ability, and I am not allowed to seek help from anyone (except for the purposes of getting new challenges and finding artwork). Once the day is done, I cannot make any balance, rarity, flavor, etc. related changes to the card.
  • I'll try to post a "wrap up" for every fortnight on the forums, going over all of the cards I made for that period, what went right, what went wrong, etc.
  • I'll compile all of the cards at the end of 2023, making them available on Planesculptors (and through a direct download on my custom MTG Discord server.
  • I'll make the list of prompts available below. Please note that not all prompts may be accepted, but I seek to accept as many as possible. If you prompt doesn't make it on the list, it could be for several reasons; I will not accept overly basic or overly specific prompts or promote users through a prompt. There's also a chance I may have just missed it!
  • I don't need all 365 prompts before the end of 2022; you can submit prompts any time in 2023 as well!
  • Likewise, even if I have all 365 prompts I need, I'll still accept more!

    @Tommia for the Gargoyle, a card with the Tribal supertype. Sorry for the confusion
  • TommiaTommia
    No worries! I wasn't 100% sure to make a Tribal card, so I didn't want to put down the wrong challenge.

  • TommiaTommia
    There's two days left until the challenge starts! While I'll still be accepting prompts after I start, the sooner you submit your prompt, the more likely I am to get to it sooner!

    Additionally, while I was originally keeping things completely random to avoid me prepping for challenges, I realized that doing that might discourage people from sending prompts, as they may not be gotten to for months. Therefore, I'm implementing a new rule for semi-random batches; that way, while I still can't plan for a card to be on any particular day, I can at least get to challenges in a semi-chronological order.

    Since I see the work has been put into listing out all the creature types that only exist on tokens, I'll amend my original suggestion to say "one or more" to get the most out of that effort.  (Also, Army from Amass seems to be missing from the list).

    I'll choose 45, 48, and 50 from the emergency prompts.

    1. A new World enchantment that's both playable and makes sense as an uber-legendary.
    2. A card that can remove a player's emblems.
    3. A new variant of morph that can apply to noncreatures (i.e., can be cast from hand, unlike Manifest).
    4. A card for a known character under a different identity (E.g., Blind Seer, Professor Onyx, Kytheon, Hero of Akros)
    5. A modal card with overload where each mode targets a different card type, zone, and/or player.
    6. A card with {x}{x}{x]{x} somewhere in its cost or abilities.
    7. A Class card for a class that hasn't been covered yet.
    8. An AFR enchantment that deals with the concept of alignment.
  • cadstar369cadstar369
    I'll choose 31 & 49 from the emergency prompts.

    1. A card with forecast.
    2. A cleave card with multiple pieces of text in brackets.
    3. A nonlegendary creature card with multiple creatures in the art and a different ability representing each of those creatures.
    4. A card that cares about modal spells.
    5. A card that retrieves one or more cards from exile.
    6. A new cycle of Zubera. (Alternatively, complete the cycle for Burning-Eye and Rushing-Tide.)
    7. A card with an ability that blocks creatures. (examples)
    8. A card that wants to be cycled or discarded multiple times, like Yidaro.
    9. A Herald and the creature it summons.
    10. A card that hates on tokens.
    11. A level up support card.
    12. A card with mana value greater than the number of letters in its name, less than the number of words in its text box, and equal to the number of abilities it has. (One of my favorite prompts from ShadowReign's Microchallenges.)

    @Jadefire That's a good catch, though I've actually already made an Army creature for another project XD

    Also, don't worry about it being restricted to one type; it's kind of assumed that, unless a challenge says exactly one type I kind of have free reign on other types XD
  • JadefireJadefire
    @Tommia That's good to know, you may need significantly fewer than 365 separate challenges then.  Here are a few more to get you on your way.

    1. A card where you need to note something for later reference.
    2. An efficiently costed card whose only drawback is the number and/or types of targets it requires (E.g., Hex, Decimate).
    3. A card whose name is an imperative (E.g., Kill! Maim! Burn!, To Arms!) or an interrogative (E.g., How is This a Par Three?!).
    4. One or more transmute cards that fill in the existing mana value gaps (i.e., 0, 1, 7, 8 & 9 MV for 1BB and 5, 7 & 8 MV for 1UU).
    5. A card that incorporates a mechanic from each of Ravnica block, Return to Ravnica block, and Guilds of Ravnica block.  Cross-guild mixing is allowed as long as a common colour is shared (E.g., Green = Dredge + Bloodrush + Adapt).
     
  • TommiaTommia
    Hahah Dredge-
  • Globert-the-MartianGlobert-the-Martian
    Some ideas:
    1. A non-werewolf permanent that transforms via day/nightbound.
    2. A mythic rare with one or more downsides.
    3. A non-artifact non-hydra creature with base stats 0/0.
    4. A card that features every letter of the alphabet in its flavor text.
    5. A card that allows you to gain control of a planeswalker.
    6. A homarid.
    7. A vehicle that can be your commander.

    Sorry about the delay, but I definitely have your suggestions down now XD

    Hey there everyone. I only have about 50 prompts left, but I have 100 Emergency Prompts I've made in case I run out. To ensure I don't end up running out, I'd like to ask those of you that have the time to look at my Emergency Prompts and suggest up to ten (10) you like. These are listed at the bottom of the Tommia's Year of Conjuring Google Doc below. Thank you in advance, and have a good one!

    TL;DR: BUMP
