Make a Pact!
Hello fellow card designers!
I have a challenge for you all that I hope you find fun and creative. For this contest, you must design a cycle of pacts like the original ones from the Future Sight set. There must be one for each color, and because each entry consists of five total cards, please only submit one cycle. (If you wish to exchange a card from the cycle for a new one, that's fine as long as it is clear.) Try to make the cycle balanced (unlike the 5 examples I gave) so that they would not dramatically warp formats. Free spells are notoriously powerful, so it is quite challenging to make a card that would be both playable and not busted. The contest ends on February 21st, so get them in by then. I hope you guys enjoy it, and I'm sure I'll be impressed with the entries!
As always, there will be prizes for the best submissions: 5 favorites for 1st place, 3 for 2nd, and 2 for 3rd.
In case you have questions, feel free to message me, and here is my example cycle:
