    DoctorFro     was the first cardsmith to ever request a Mystery Box, and they did so in a pre-Mystery Box discussion back in 2018. Wow! Here is there request: https://forums.mtgcardsmith.com/discussion/comment/102521/#Comment_102521

    @jpastor Do the prizes from the previous thread hold over? I have a hug and couple of keys. 

    One mystery box, please.

    @SchmurrProductions Welcome to Mystery Boxes! Please take a moment to read this one-time note about how to get and use prizes throughout your endless journey in this discussion by clicking on the Spoiler button!
    Prizes are known as Keys. You will always find a Key in your Mystery Box, unless you chose to request (open) that box without using your latest Key. If you do use your Key to request (open) your next Mystery Box, that's when you use the Prize associated with the key by distributing it amongst yourself or gifting to others, or in any combination thereof.

    Example: If you got a Golden Key in your last box, the prize is "5 Favorites." So, when you request your next box, you'll say something like, "I'll use my Golden Key to open a box. I'll gift Robo Kitty 4 favorites and keep 1 favorite for myself."

    Should you choose not to open your next box with your latest Key, it disintegrates, and you sadly won't find a new key in any of your boxes until the deadline resets (which is an undisclosed point in time.)

    I hope you enjoy your endless journey of Mystery.
    Your mystery box contains:
    • AboveAndAbout's Key (3 Spotlights) Enter 3 cards not made by you into the deadline by posting them here!
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create a Faerie Artificer.

    Create a Plant Hydra creature card that's both legendary, mythic, and epic!

    I took "Epic" to mean "amazing" and not the Epic ability. I also freely admit, green is a weak spot of mine. So, hopefully this works as a card. 

    May I please have another mystery box?

    Prizes are known as Keys. You will always find a Key in your Mystery Box, unless you chose to request (open) that box without using your latest Key. If you do use your Key to request (open) your next Mystery Box, that's when you use the Prize associated with the key by distributing it amongst yourself or gifting to others, or in any combination thereof.

    Example: The key in your first box is Corwinnn's Key, which give you 1 Acorn. You can use this Acorn for yourself or gift it to someone else. To do this, just use your key to open your next box and announce your decision. The Acorn will turn a random mystery challenge into a Squirreltopia challenge. So, typically, you would just use the acorn for yourself, unless you feel like letting someone else use it for some reason (*whispers*: like secretly recruiting them to this discussion)

    Should you choose not to open your next box with your Corwinnn Key, it disintegrates, and you sadly won't find a new key in any of your boxes until the deadline resets (which is an undisclosed point in time.)

    I hope you enjoy your endless journey of Mystery.
    Your mystery box contains:
    • @Corwinnn's Key ► (1 Acorn) One challenge becomes Squirreltopian.
    • A Mystery Challenge: Create an artifact that Esper mages would use.
