It's preview week for the newest Magic the Gathering set, Gatecrash! And in standard YMtC tradition, we're going to celebrate by having a huge, two week contest. I'm Silly Dragons, and together along with Mown, we're going to be hosting this set's Preview Week Contest.
Now here's how the contest is going to work. Each day you will be given a criteria inspired by one or more of the spoiled cards. You will have 24 hours to design a card matching that criteria. Your card will be graded on a scale of 1-10, and the best card each round will win. Mown and I will alternate days, so Mown will create the criteria for and grade odd-numbered rounds while I take the even-numbered rounds.
You may join or leave the contest at any time; just because you missed a day doesn't mean you're out. While missing rounds might put you at a disadvantage for winning the super special grand prizes at the end, you will still have and equal chance at winning the individual round.
Prizes* are given out at the end for the following categories: Highest Overall Score, Most Rounds Won, and Highest Average Score.
*Prizes may be imaginary and/or nonexistent. To win Highest Average Score you must participate in at least three rounds.
Splashy mythics? Who doesn't like criteria based off of splashy mythics? Create a card that refers to itself by name. We are looking for cards with wording similar to Squadron Hawk , Demigod of Revenge , and the spoiled card above. Not cards such as Wild Mongrel .
Round 1 will end midnight January 2nd EST (roughly 34 hours from this post). You're getting a little extra time for round 1 because we got this up late, and round 2 will end at the same time.
Agyrem Patrol Creature — Spirit Soldier Battalion — Whenever and at least two other creatures attack, you may return target creature card named Agyrem Patrol from your graveyard to the battlefield, tapped and attacking. When the ghost district merged with the city proper, the Boros saw a new realm in need of its enforcement. 2/2
Coffin Cowerer Creature - Zombie Sacrifice ~: at the end of your turn, return a card named ~ from your graveyard to the battlefield. 3/1 When things get dangerous, it hides in the only safe place: the grave.
I don't have an egosig because I'd rather my ideas be judged on their merits than on mine.
What are catpoints? A way of measuring how much I love you. How do I get catpoints? 1: participate in my forum games/contests. 2: make awesome posts. 3: destroy Carthage. What can I do with catpoints? You can ask favors of me. I may or may not agree to your favor, depending on how big the favor is and how many catpoints you have. Who has how many catpoints? shadowchu: 100 Islands: 100 Niche: 50 mrindigo: 50 kips: 50 Rstnme: 25 Jman: 25 everyone else: 0 Keeperofmanynames: -100 Morgothra: -100
