Create a card that is a deliberate example of how NOT to design a card. Then create a "fixed" version of someone else's card.

Design a card (or several cards) that are intended to be examples of bad design. Then, try to create fixed versions of the awful designs that other people have made. Make sure to indicate which card you're making a fixed version of.

Some types of bad design that could be used (possibly in combination with each other):
-makes the player feel bad
-doesn't work as expected
-extra text/complicated
-card's abilities contradict the flavour
There's probably a lot more that haven't thought of, and I'd to see how many different types of (bad) designs we can come up with collectively.

LOL. Oh, good idea.

For my "Horribad card" I present: ­Slow right the heck down,I want to do something strange

And I took the least bad, to my mind, and fixed up Flock of Seagulls into Leader of the Flock

And, yeah, ok - address the ridiculouness with Totemic Regrowth (so named because my first attempt was a totem armour)

­Aerithan, Bringer of Hope. And my next "Fix it plz" card: Foresight

­Rafiq, Who Climbs Clouds as an alternate fix for Flock of Seagulls. Alternate alternate fix for Flock of Seagulls? Stop running. And stop listening to music by hairdressers with too much time on their hands.

Added Proboscidean Idol because Jack realized that I was bound to design a card around elephant tribal, and thought that it would be cool if I designed another one (?!)

To replace what I've taken, I submit Breader's Digestion, Mistress of the Machine and Razor Boomerang ;)

I created Mutato Devil in the "so bad it's horrible" category. Once my design brain recovers from that self-inflicted ordeal I'll have a go at fixing some of these :)

­Strength in Diversity both fixes, and requires fixing ;)

This challenge used up all the bad cards, so I made some more for future challenge participants:
­Landfall Valley
­Biclops Fulminator
­Shahrazad ;)
