@modnation675 , I do like the 'X from Y' formatting, although it could be clunky with combinations or variations on effects. For example how would you word Cultivate? Newspeak is a reference to the novel 1984, where an oppressive government has cr…
-
@modnation675 , The thing about action keywords and new names for common effects, as I think @Gelectrode points out, is that they give you design space, but they reduce clarity for new players. We're all enfranchised players, so it's easy to forge…

Okay! Judging is complete. Thank you all for your submissions! Here are your winners, beginning with Honorable Mentions! HM1: Life-Keeper Nephilim, by @sanjaya666 I really liked the art and concept for this cards, but it didn't really have a stro…

Here's my submission! New, Old

Brawl looks neat, but it's not for me. I'm not big on rotating card pools, since I really only play Limited and casual. @DoctorFro , with last year's tribal Commander release, WotC said that they're moving away from strict color divisions. So we're…

And the contest is now CLOSED for judging! Thank you all for your submissions!

Hi folks! The contest is closing in roughly 12 hours! Get your last-minute entries in!
-
Looking good!
-
Happy anniversary! Here's my take on your Purple Guy card, shifted into a more appropriate color and kicked up in power level. With a bonus Springtrap token!
-
@KalamMekhar , I don't know. I think there is some use to this sort of conversation, in terms of how to talk about cards and communicate clearly. Without any salt and bile, of course.
-
Yeah, @Lujikul wasn't disagreeing with your comment about the parenthesis of the Eminence ability. Lujikul was disagreeing on your comment that the design is otherwise perfect. And I agree with him on that. It has severe power level issues, and ther…

Great submissions so far! (Nephil-bump.)
-
Here's a couple of plant cards from my old Batman project.
-
Darn, looks like I was wrong about Ezuri and regenerate. Oh well. The new frame looks nice!
-
Blast from the past! Drop my faves on whatever recent cards of mine you happen to like.
-
@Faiths_Guide I'm not convinced by that one. I'd expect it to still be only occasional. Artifact-based any-color mana ramp is fun, but I don't think that's a world WotC wants us to live in full time.
-
This might not be a good forum for that topic. Magic is an old game, and a lot of the Cardsmiths on this site are going to be much older than high school age, so didn't participate in any walkout.
-
@Faiths_Guide , @Arceus8523 @KrampisZman scooped me, but yes. In the story he's supposed to have died roughly ten or so years before the events of Amonkhet block, but he's got a card that would seem to indicate that he's alive and well at least at…
-
@Faiths_Guide , fun fact about Neheb: his appearance in both Amonkhet sets creates a continuity error in the plot for that block. Anyway: Kaladesh: Long-Finned Skywhale Aether Revolt: Hidden Stockpile Amonkhet: Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons Hour of De…

Anyone else think it's weird that the historic mechanic includes artifacts? I'm pretty sure my Vehicles shouldn't really qualify as 'historic'.
-
@TheAcidicSniper , @TheCenterOfTheUniverse The funny thing is, all the old cards that say "target creature or player" will be retconned to "any target", but in the future if they want to design a card that hits creatures and players but NOT planes…
-
@sorinjace , FYI, your card doesn't work that way. It will only be sacrificed if it becomes a creature, which means it had to first be the Aura. Just casting it will cause it to be a creature the whole time, so it will never become a creature and ne…

I'm also a kaiju fan! Here's an older card of mine that I think meets your criteria:
-
@Faiths_Guide , that's probably what I would do, but I guess they don't want overlap between getting counters and getting mana. @Lujikul , I think it's a good thing to bring those back. Characteristic-specific hexproof is much weaker than protectio…
-
@KrampisZman , that's why I think they ARE retconning it. They want the protective effect, but they also want to simplify and consolidate language. Drudge Sentinel is a great gateway to the new wording because it hearkens back to the original Skelet…
-
@TezzeretofCarmot21 , that might be true too, but I think they're hiding Ezuri because they're saving a reveal that they're retconning regenerate. Check out this guy: Drudge Sentinel 2B Creature — Skeleton Warrior 2/1 3: Tap Drudge Sentinel. It gai…
-
@Arceus8523 I know, right? The weirdest part to me is that it's still "Add mana". Add it to what? If we're not going to mention the mana pool anymore, why not change the wording to something like "Get mana" or "gain mana"?
-
Leak confirmed. You can get a not-translated version of the release notes there.
-
Damn my eyes! I couldn't help but look.
-
@ThyMaster , also non-artifact? Otherwise someone's going to just make a sword or something.
