Greetings, fellow humans.
While Noki tests the waters in Modern, Skaur has been plotting against the humans around him with random cards, awful mistakes, and cards that seem fine until you consider certain decks.
All jokes aside, I've been focusing on a bunch of things, and in my random fits of motivation/inspiration (quite interchangeable), I've made a few mechanics. One of my favourites has been Impulse.
Impulse {cost} (You may cast this card for its Impulse cost by discarding a card. If you do, its targets are chosen at random.)
This is an interesting mechanic in my opinion, and I thought that it would be fun to see what people did with it.
You will be allowed three entries, which can change over the course of the contest. My judging criteria is as follows:
5 points for entering
5 points for flavour.
15 points for originality.
25 points for balance.
The top three cards will receive favourites and pick an honourable mention. Additional prizes are as follows:
First place -- Two favourites of your choice and a tribute card.
Second place -- Two favourites of your choice OR a tribute card
Third place -- One favourite of your choice.
Honourable mention -- One favourite of my choice.
Now, go on, and do something with Impulse. This contest ends on Tuesday, February 25th. Good luck, and see Manic Bolt and Bottled Rage if you would like examples.

I didn't know about that mechanic. This requires you to discard a card, so it allows a little more freedom with the cost. I'm sorry...
Will be back soon with an entry!
Sounds good, mate.

I know it was a bit risky with a White card to do the discard when you typically see red or black or even blue doing the discarding, but I thought "hey, why not? lets give it a shot."
Hey, if Stern Constable can do it, why can't this?
How did they bring RNG back?

I forgot about that thing...
