Over at Mashup: the Gathering, I did this because I needed a Green Mythic Rare and nothing popped up yet (the process gave me both Twinkling Starcharm and Toiling Tiller.) Somewhere in the middle of designing these cards, I realized this was a pretty fun challenge.

Mythic is tougher than it sounds. There's a temptation to just add a bunch of stuff... but over-complexity makes a card more and more rare, not mythic rare. Likewise, you could just shave off some colorless mana and call it a day. Sometimes that might be fine. If you got Nessian Courser and made it a Mythic Legendary 3/3 centaur, costing , I don't think I could fault you for it. You better sell me on that flavor text, though.

But, really, what your looking for is the sort of stuff that busts the fourth wall of Magic. Things that say "Oh. Well, that's crazy." The card doesn't need to be broken to pull that trick... it just needs to be splasy.

Bah, and Wizards.com goes down for maintenance just as a random card challenge goes up... In the meantime, Magiccards.info also has a random card function, which gave me Cursed Monstrosity from which I created Monstrous Curse-bearer.

And another one: rolled Bear Cub and created Denmother.

Decided to do yet another one. It seems I like this challenge :)

First I rolled up Skullsnatcher, but every mythicification of that just wants to be Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni. So I rolled again, and got Rouse, from which I created Venom Pact.

Imma takin' my own challenge, and got Goblin Wakemaker.

I got Living End, which, in my opinion, would be Mythic Rare if that rarity had existed when it was printed. So I rerolled and got Gruul Ragebeast, from which I formed Gruul Pitmaster.

­Berserking Lure ­Blood Dog ­Explosive Wurm ­Beautiful Tamanoa

I like this challenge. May be back for more.

I got Kessig Wolf this time around and decided to blend it with Kessig Wolf Run to create the (((Kessig Wolf Alpha))) the 'king' of all the kessig wolves. And yes, he also pumps himself.

I'm back on this challenge again. What can I say; it's fun. My random rolls have been oversupplied with black cards though, so I rerolled my first two randoms which were black.

I rolled Terramorphic Expanse and created Terramorphic Nexus. Then I rolled Elvish Hexhunter and created Safehold Sanctifier.

­Yavimaya Hollow brought me to Yavimaya And, uh - I was reading the challenge as +(non-mythic) +(non-basic) +(land); and searched accorindlgy; but it seems no-one else did.

Ah! This is why we need n-dashes. I assumed it meant "a card other than a mythic or a basic land" (if I meant "make a mythic of a land card" I probably wouldn't phrase it like that). "non-basic-land" (or for preference "non–basic-land") would be correct, but most people don't bother except in formal writing.

Patrik, if you click "Formatting help" directly above the comment box, there are instructions on how to do that and several other things.
