MECHANIC #2: Prophecy token (It’s an enchantment artifact with “{2}, Sacrifice this artifact: Scry 2”) I like the use of Scry 2, it feels right in line with the other artifact tokens we’ve been getting (Food, Treasure, Clues) though it might be a li…

@Yururu MECHANIC #1: Auracycling {cost} ({cost}, Discard this card: Search your library for an Aura card with the same converted mana cost as this card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.) A clever variation on basic la…

@Faiths_Guide MECHANIC #1: Blessing (Whenever you cast a Blessing, if your devotion to its colors is equal to or greater than its converted mana cost, draw a card.) I like that you identified the card disadvantage tied to auras as the problem to sol…

Hello everyone! Thank you all for your patience, the results are finally here =D But first, here's a bit of feedback for each entry: P.S: To skip to the results, click HERE! @Pepperoni MECHANIC #1: Align — Tap N untapped enchantments you contro…

@Faiths_Guide (If you want to finish the cycle, you can slip in the black Rare by the time I finish judging and editing. Since it's a mechanic-based contest it shouldn't change the ranking that much anyways ^^)
-
THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED FOR JUDGING Thank you everyone who participated! It's now time to judge all the entries, I'll come back with the results a bit later this week =D

REMINDER: 3 DAYS LEFT BEFORE THE END OF THE CONTEST!
-
@Faiths_Guide Definitely much better! =D Ok, before we "really" let the thread sink again, I just went to the "Circus Act" challenge that was part of the Half-Great Designer Search series as I said above. It's pretty wild xD As a reminder, the chal…

How on earth did this old thread resurfaced ?? It's nine months old! XD Oh well, before we let that sink again, since it's been bumped I might as well mention that, @Je_Suis_Oluwa, you're not alone thinking that... MaRo does too (LINK) Also, I qu…
-
@Tomigon Just to be sure, does Nyxtouched mean "artifacts + enchantment creatures" or "enchantment artifacts + enchantment creatures"?
-
@fiskerton @Faiths_Guide Oh yeah XD It is awkward when you read it aloud, my bad XD I did mean *nonenchantment* obviously x)
-
@Tommyneko Or a mechanic that's meant to be exclusively or almost exclusively on enchantments. The goal is to push the design space of enchantments in general. Some examples would be Sagas and Bestow, you wouldn't put Bestow on a creature for instan…
-
@Faiths_Guide It's technically valid but yes, it doesn't exactly scream enchantments x) In a real set I have a hard time imagining the designers would stop themselves from using all the design space this offers with creatures, which is probably much…
-
@Faiths_Guide Yeap, as long as it's specifically designed to go on enchantments, it's valid for this challenge! ^^
-
@KorandAngels Sorry, Constellation is not a valid entry for this contest. As a reminder, the contest is asking you to create a NEW mechanic about enchantments, however Constellation is an already existing mechanic. My personal recommandation, that …
-
@KorandAngels Well we can't know for certain that's all of them but it seems unlikely there will be more just for complexity reason. Here is the list: SPOILERS WARNING Devotion to M (Counts the number of mana symbol from the colour M - which can b…
-
@shadow123 Nope, if you look at rule #2, it specifically says it doesn't have to be about Theros
-
@sorinjace Absolutely, this counts ^^ @KorandAngels Hey I'm not sure I understand what mechanics you mean? I can see two possible misunderstandings. Hope this helps: 1) If you're talking about the mechanics from Theros: Beyond Death: I purposefu…
-
@Faiths_guide It's true I haven't seen this kind of challenge in a while! We could try to brainstorm a little on what would be a good set of rules, see if we can set something up! I'll send PMs when I have time!
-
@shadow123 I like the name, we could go top-down on this and try to design a card that fits the name. "Transe" gives me a blue vibe I think, I picture either a freezing spell or a "gain control" spell. An interaction with the Art tribal would be an …
-
@shadow123 Yeap, it's a typo ^^
-
@Termite1 Ah, my bad I think it's me who actually mixed the card you were talking about. Yes, we definitely need this effect at uncommon and it sounds much cleaner that the "next spells" thing I tried earlier. Interestingly, I actually had a card in…
-
@brcien What I meant is that in the latest version of the set skeleton I had a lot of commons that cared specifically about one bicoloured archetype. After checking with recent existing sets, I realised I pushed it a bit far, there usually aren't th…
-
@Lujikul Nothing major, right now the main discussion is about how to scale down the number of things that the set cares about at common so all ten bicoloured draft archetypes end up with very directional cards. I was proposing to go with three-colo…
-
@shadow123 So, we can't have straight-up the term "psylian lifelink" because it's technically a new mechanic and it's just not worth the trouble for one or two cards. That being said, we will *totally* have at least one card with that effect in the …
-
@Termite1 That idea of land is pretty original and yes, it's better suited for the playstyle that Renaissance is pushing for I think ^^ The idea of an activated ability only possible to activate when Renaissance is enabled is also a design space we'…
-
@SteampunkDragon Most decks will rely mostly on combat damage to trigger Renaissance so it's a bit awkward if the lands turn to creatures after combat
-
@SteampunkDragon Thanks for the feedback! Yes, the flavour of "Masterwork" works quite well with the idea of someone making something they're proud of. It's just that there's going to be a separate Art tribal theme that just cannot overlap with the…
-
@IzItTru The spirit is there but if I'm not mistaken (I'm not a native speaker) it's not the person themselves, just the peak they reach. It could work, we just need to find a way to phrase it the right way. For instance: ____ Pinnacle (As this re…
-
@SteampunkDragon For now I'm just using placeholder illustrations (this is not even a mirror if I'm honest XD) and card names so it's easier to imagine it as a real card but once we reach that point in the set everything will get proper flavouring! …
