Major congrats to the top spots! You all had excellent cards with solid flavor and direction. I also definitely missed a bonus point here or there that could have broken the tie, but regardless this was an awesome and fun challenge to take part in. …

@ThePhantomJoker actually it's brown, not grey. I haven't personally used them much yet, although I know there are some people that have. The go-to land type for purple is cave or city, but besides that I'm not sure. I know Arceus has done some work…

I'd say I would take a nudge but I don't have time to finish it tonight and I'll be busy most of tomorrow as well. I'll still try to make a card for it though at some point.
-
I'm going to try and make at least one card for this hopefully!
-
I'm definitely interested in this! The only real reason I wouldn't be able to is free time to write.
-
Well, I suppose it's the end times, the Old Ones have been summoned, and madness enthralls the land. Okay I'll stop being dramatic, on with the actual cards. Prompt #1 + A new creature type + an alternate cost: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/orecic-…

I think that when considering the mechanics, there should probably be a limit to how many your going to use that do any one similar thing, like only so many that give +1/+1 counters. Also leaning towards more simple mechanics is a wise choice, so I'…

A quick question that will be important for starting work on the commons. What is/are your (up to) three main themes of this set? I can identify a "colorless matters" or maybe "color(s)/colorless matters" theme, but I'm not exactly sure what else is…
-
I'll say that unless/until another mechanic comes to mind that seems like a perfect fit, the fact that you'll be having a lot of one-off mechanics suggests you shouldn't have too many others. Avoid a Future Sight/Time Spiral block problem of complex…

Understandable, and no worries.
-
I almost forgot about the name, had the basic idea for the challenge, started writing it out, and realized I didn't have a name and it just came to me haha Will also try to make a tougher challenge next time too.
-
Having a tough time with this one, not quite getting the same level impressions from it haha.
-
Yeah, a dark/grey background, maybe the background texture/color from the homepage?
-
Yeah, I think that's probably fine as is, although it might need some playtesting to say for sure. Also could probably be common. And yeah, Wastes don't have a subtype because there are a lot of major rule ramifications for adding another basic lan…

Voted!

@TheDukeOfPork I will apologize for my response to you, I should have waited to respond with a clearer head and collect my thoughts. It was however a direct response to your reply that came off very dismissive and arrogant when I was only trying to…
-
Also why did you bring up card draw? No one was talking about it?
-
I'm not sure that you need a keyworded mechanic for it. You could just add like "Voidtouched" to the name of a nonbasic land cycle and maybe a mana dork and give them the ability to tap for colorless. You also have the option to copy Wastes, but si…
-
Almost forgot to get my vote in! I feel like I shouldn't say every week that it was a tough choice but I went back and forth on this one for a while.
-
I'll likely make a card or two! Some of the old school legends are pretty sick, and could use some love (especially since there's quite a few on the reserved list).
-
So, the easy way to do that without having to get creative with some wording, would be to use the wording I gave you, but just make it so if a card's mana cost was {3}{G} the twilight cost would be {3}{C}. Otherwise I can help come up with wording t…
-
Unconditional generic cost reduction isn't super common that I would make it a primary concern, just avoid making anything with 2 or less cost. It's going to be tough to balance in other ways though. (Someone better with the rules would have to say…
-
I'm still working on mine as well. I have some decent ideas that I just need to figure out how well they match and don't become overpowered. Titania is a pretty strong card so it's certainly a challenge to balance around.
-
Most people, for a while, will call it CMC, and that's fine tbh, as long as everyone understands the new wording and knows it means the same thing.
-
v1. (Not confident in this wording.) Twilight (You may cast this spell for its twilight cost by spending mana of any color to cast it. Spells cast this way are colorless.) v2. (This wording is more based on Overload and Miracles wording. Fairly c…
-
I think Twilight would either need to have the cost as generic mana next to the ability or maybe {X} in the reminder text instead of the {1} because right now the wording is a little confusing and also maybe not grammatically correct. (Also, since …

Reluctant King of the Bouncy Castle Create a legendary creature that: * "Wins" you the game if it enters the battlefield 10 or more times * Can't "flicker" itself - including exiling or back to hand Maybe not too difficult, but should be fun I thi…
-
I mean, I would be nice and make it the least "blue" card you can imagine haha.
-
A discussion of what the "best" or "worse" color/color combos are highly subjective and also majorly depend on format. In very general, broad terms, white and black, both together and mono color, tend to be the weaker performers, but that's not true…

I do eagerly await my next chance to participate. I was second or third eliminated from season 3 I think and have missed my chance at redemption.
