A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words... Right?
So, there was a thread like a year ago, and there's actually one going right now, that was a whole thing where people use a piece of flavor text given to them. Well, I wanna do it with pictures!
So, here are the rules!
Submissions can be any type of card (Rarity, Color, Spell Type, etc.)
Two submissions allowed per cardsmith.
Submissions must use a picture that was posted on this thread.
Submissions must be accompanied by two new pictures.
Pictures, please try to stick to the general fantasy look.
I will be judging basically on my own taste, but balance and flavor will be major factors, as well as originality.
I will try to give feedback as much as possible, but if I don't, I'm sorry, I'm a busy boy!
Prizes:
1st: 5 favorites, I follow you, and 3 doses of constructive criticism on cards of your choice.
2nd:3 favorites and 1 dose of constructive criticism on cards of your choice.
3rd:1 favorite on a card of your choice.
Judging will be:
September 3rd, Saturday
Hope y'all like this!
Here are the first two pictures you can use:

Looking at this, I think I pushed it too much for its cost/rarity. I like the design, but it should probably cost more and also might need some flavor text to tie the whole thing together

This one needs a bit of explanation: Nodes act as magical channeling-points (hence their artifact type, the shroud, and the indestructible). Verlinias' ultimate is designed such that each of his Nodes is 'taught' a spell, and the Node can then cast the spell for free each turn. I know the templating is a little shaky (it should say 'cast without paying mana cost' for a start) but there's only so much you can do with 145 characters.
