I've got Blood-Cloak Ensiform and Council of the Bored.
Oh... The picture is now just a tree. Well, look at Challenge # 010 to see the full art.
I wanted to use one of the harder/ less interesting arts, but I didn't really want to tackle the apple. The people look bored, represented by the tapping, and I thought I've give them something more interesting by drawing some cards.
Forgot the picture.
For Challenge # 010.
To me, it looks pretty clearly like blood coming out of the victim and surrounding the character.
Ah, you're right. I missed that she could target herself. In fact, that's a pretty broken first ability straight up.
Indeed, very nice idea. My entries: Serene Rapture and Dustdrifter Spellblade.
Created for Challenge # 010. The cloak formed of magical red dust is the flavour driver here. I imagine this spellcaster can take the form of the red dust, be carried by the wind or her own volition behind enemy lines, and then produce that fearsome sword straight into the back of an enemy soldier.
Created for Challenge # 010. This art is very evocative, but slightly unusual for a Magic card in that I don't think the creature is the focus, and of course it's peaceful and otherworldly. This is my take on the effect that sending a creature into such an experience would have.
It's reminiscent of Pardic Collaborator. There was also Sandstone Warrior, and he was common.
jmgariepy: Unfortunately the first ability pretty much neutralises the drawback of the second one. I think the first ability shouldn't be able to target herself, otherwise it's just 4 mana and tap to skip an untap.
Nice parity. Your opponent skipping an untap is very, very powerful, so making it impossible to be every turn (including the fact that this card is Legendary) and the fact that you can plan around it makes a scary card playable. Also, good call on the colors. I tried to make sure people had the ability to make a card for any color, and slotted this card in my head under "Black. Maybe White." But, there definitely is an icy blue undertone going on in there.
It's funny how much better this is than Fiery Hellhound, but I agree, rare needs to be better when making efficient 3cc creatures. This seems like a good "French Vanilla" creature, and I'm kind of surprised these three abilities hasn't popped up on another creature, yet. Good catch.
I will take #11.
Oh, excellent challenge. In retrospect, it should have been more obvious that ideas like in GDS would be interesting :)
That's cool. First strike + firebreathing is ever so strong, it's practically unkillable, but maybe that's right for rare.
Mage of the Burning Path and Shiela, Ice Queen of Tewn
It's been a long day. As an intern designer for Magic: the Gathering, it's been your job to put stickers on the latest set in development. After applying the final sticker out of a pile of 5,000 cards, you place the box on top of a pile of other cards in a storage closet, when Mark Rosewater barrels into you.
Are you still here? Great! I couldn't find anyone else in the building. It seems that everyone on staff is going to the going away party. We've got a problem, though. One of the sets is late in development, and two cards have been rejected from it. I'd design two new cards for it tomorrow, but I'd rather have something in development's hands before then, and it wouldn't look good if I skipped out on the party. Could you design them?
We don't need anything in particular, except they have to be rares, since those are the slots that are open. Also, the color doesn't matter: Development shot down a cycle of cards because the set has too many cycles, but they like the 5 cards equally, so they don't seem to mind which 3 we keep.
The big problem is that that the artwork has already been commitioned for the cycle, and is too tied to it flavor-wise, so we can't use that artwork. We've got five spare pieces of art we haven't been able to place, so make sure to base your card on the artwork of one of these. Let's see... we got
