  @pewnd just wondering, was the Land I submitted too powerful? I am planning to hopefully make several more keeper-specific land cards but just wanted to gauge power level before doing so.

  @OneBigBlueSky I did feel it was especially strong. Even when considering the inflated life total of the keeper. I was impressed with the flavor and the design of the card however. But that -1/+0 effect that can't be removed easily and exhauster AND token generation AND the lack of entering tapped is huge. Honestly I'd knock it down to just the exhauster and a minor secondary ability as well as the mana pool with a tap effect.
  
  Current lands (power levels haven't been tweaked yet.)

  Note: All of the opponent's creatures have to be in one band, so that means even if they aren't controlled by the same player, they're still in the same band.

  @DragonFaceEater Two VERY solid cards! Balanced and interesting
  
  I'm heavily considering extending the contest or putting it on temporary hold until I have some more time to dedicate to cardsmith. Busy few week

  @pewnd Yeah, you should probably give the contest more time to collect entries, since you really need a lot for this format to succeed. Also, thanks for the feedback!

  @pewnd What do you mean when you say "New Contest Date: November 20th"? Do you mean the new end date for this contest, or are you talking about the other contest?

  @DragonFaceEater This contest end date I'll post a link to the quick little make-up contest soon.

  @DragonFaceEater @Corwinnn you guys are too much (´∀｀•)
• DragonFaceEater

  October 2016 edited October 2016

  I decided to make a new ability for blue (if it's okay with @pewnd, of course). It's called Overdraw, and this is what it does:
  
  Overdraw X - Whenever [trigger], you may pay {X} minus the amount of opponents you have. If you do, [ability].
  
  I also already made a card with the ability!

  (Remember, the ability can cost 0 if there are enough opponents, so you need to be careful.)
• pewnd

  @DragonFaceEater I like the idea on paper, though it seems a little wordy, especially if overdraw will be used on a large collection of cards. Maybe there's a way to slim the payment of mana section.
• DragonFaceEater

  October 2016

  @pewnd I'm not sure if there is a way to slim the mana payment, so if it does end up becoming an ability, it should probably be the only ability, other than maybe some keywords and a small activated ability. If you find a way to slim it down, though, I'm all ears.

  Could you help me find out how to make custom card borders and such? xD
• pewnd

  @Rhythm_ for the custom border on the card at the front page of this article, it was done in photoshop
• DragonFaceEater

  October 2016 edited October 2016

  @pewnd So what's the word on the new blue ability? Also, I made a new cycle of elemental-buffing creatures!
  The cards have been changed, see P3
