This is based on a party game named "Things". I wouldn't bore you with the details. Here's what's gonna happen. 1) All participants send me a PM of a SIMPLE Critieria* (recommended to limit yourself to a maximum of 7 words) describing something that you like in a design. 2) Everyone will design by ALL of the received criterias. (Outright contradicting criteria will be adjusted by me with notice.) 3) I judge the cards by maximum of 4 points: 0~1 Creative (Does the card feel new? Is it exploring design space?) 0~1 Mechanic (Does the card work? Is it the best way to execute such design?) 0~1 Balance (Is it reasonably printable AND, preferably at least limited, playable?) 0~1 Flavor (Does it make sense, or is it protraying the idea appropriately?) 4) Next part is secret. 5) Maybe a second round if this goes well. *Example of simple criteria
Show
- CMC 4 or greater
- Nonpermanent
- Spell that cares about frogs
-
Counter-example:
- In the alternate world of Innistrad where Angels became slave of demons instead of rising above them. Create a Preview card for the third set of Innistrad.

Criteria submission will open for 24 hours or when I have 8 submissions whichever comes first.
The design round will last 72 hours or so or when I have the time to close the round and grade entries whichever comes later.

The ease of screwing everything up in this contest intrigues me.
Everything Mown does is elegant.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in an thread with GM_Champion" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against AzureShade when card design is on the line!

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?
