CCDD 111618—Rancor of Wildwood

Cool Card Design of the Day
Rancor's too strong and Talons of Wildwood is too weak. Let's try and meet somewhere in the middle.

Eternal Analysis 008—Nightfall

Nightfall is a different kind of Eternal keyword: It's not a skill, modifying how a card works, but an event (or a keyword action in Magic terms). When night falls, it lasts through the next round, and when your turn begins at night, you take 1 damage and draw a card.

CCDD 111418—learn a lesson

Cool Card Design of the Day
During the weeks between learning I'd made the top 100 for GDS3 and the initial design test, I designed and playtested a Magic world and a number of potential mechanics for it, knowing that work would either be directly relevant or at least good practice.

CCDD 111318—Dire Lane Pickpocket

Cool Card Design of the Day
This top-down card ended up a lot like Feral Prowler, but I like the slightly different angle; it's both evocative and sets you up to build around it.

CCDD 111218—Path to Peace

Cool Card Design of the Day
The problem with Path to Exile is that pesky downside. What if we turned that around and made it an upside?

CCDD 110918—Bad Jerks

Cool Card Design of the Day

CCDD 110818—Foresee Obstacles

Cool Card Design of the Day
Here's a weird spell.
