Mash-Up Contest
So, I was looking around on MTGCS and saw a lot of cool things where other themes such as Star Wars were brought into Magic as cards. This inspired me to try and make my own set based on Fallout. Then I thought, why don't I help expand on this idea instead of doing my own thing?
Rules:
1. All cards must have a direct reference to another theme (for example, Luke Skywalker would be a reference to Star Wars).
2. All cards must be realistic, and appear to be playable (no when you cast this spell you win the game stuff).
3. All cards must be made with the intent for them to be balanced and perhaps made as part of a larger set.
Tips:
1. I like to see new ideas for mechanics, just make sure to explain them!
2. Proper formatting that looks like an MTG card is good!
3. Picking popular or well-known themes as your subject is probably a good idea.
4. While Heroes are easy to do, I'd also like to see non-heroes, like a Stormtrooper (sticking with our Star Wars example) rather than a bunch of Darth Vaders.
Contest close date is March 1st. On that day I will begin judging and will not accept new entries made on said date.

I have more if anyone wants to check them out.
In other words, I will in a way judge all your entries, but I judge them as a lot. One really good card will be better than 50 mediocre cards.
Also, I will let you all know that the art doesn't have to be MTG-like. If you look at my profile and my "Fallout" set you'll see that some of the stuff is directly from the Fallout canon. By this I mean that if your art fits the canon of the mash-up theme, you can use that too. In fact, I think it would be better to use art from the canon/theme.
from one of my favorite shows!

--The Guardian Beasts / Seirei / Five Paths Meditations cycles
--My Shintai cycle
--My Angel cycle-ish thing
--Any of the following 5 Esoterica: Mind Shaker, Deep Vortex, Gray Thaumaturgy, Philosopher's Stone, Lunar Limiter
I can explain the references if necessary, but the non-Esoterica cards should be pretty self-explanatory.

I couldn't fit "The first dragonborn," So I did this. I hope it's okay
I hope this isn't too much text. I had to include both the daedric artifacts

I might write another comment with more. I'm a newbie guys I'm a newbie.
However, judging may take some more time than just being done on March 1, so bear in mind it may take me a little bit of time.
