Is there any way to make it more symmetric, to give you a chance to cast opponent's creature? Or let you look at more than 1, and get the creature into your hand? Maybe it makes it too complicated.Jack (cartesiandaemon)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08258267965242039995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-32157197629985260412018-05-01T17:38:37.309-04:002018-05-01T17:38:37.309-04:00Day at the Market is a great pick for #1, but it&#...Day at the Market is a great pick for #1, but it's one of those "gets much better as an instant but doesn't need to be one" card advantage spells. That's a nitpick on an otherwise catchy design.<br /><br />Fiona does some cool cool things at a reasonable text size. I like the + and ult but even though the - is connected between them, part of me wants something that /doesn't/ copy. Probably moot. I'd want to play with this for sure!Pasteurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058331124653341978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-2363504251105478212018-05-01T17:17:47.909-04:002018-05-01T17:17:47.909-04:00"GU planeswalker that copies stuff" is b..."GU planeswalker that copies stuff" is by far the most common design I've seen submitted of all the challenge 3's I've read.<br /><br />For a long time, my BR card worked very similarly to Pet Fight. The reason it changed was because of my research into the previous contests (specifically GDS1). In it, a designer got criticized for using this "colors spent to cast on hybrid card" idea, and the judge very specifically stated that it was confusing and unpopular with players. I have made many cards, even entire sets, using this mechanic, but that comment really made me think again. It might be a mechanic that excites us designers more than the players at large.<br /><br />Patrol is one of my favorite designs I've seen in a while, the exact kind of cute card that I love to make and love to play with.MOON-Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834682219939616494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-47943162237700657492018-05-01T16:52:01.945-04:002018-05-01T16:52:01.945-04:00That card draw makes those abilities relevant even...That card draw makes those abilities relevant even when there are few or no -1/-1 counters in play. Thematically, they are either information Tibalt has tortured out of your enemies, or simply sadistic inspiration.

Patrol is also very cute.<br /><br />Glory of the Skies I think would have been a very risky rare to submit - your rares are where you’re able to push the furthest, and to have skipped doing so to staple Levitation to a Glorious Anthem might not have been well-received.<br /><br />Would love to hear more about the cantripping minuses on tibalt and why you like them as much as you do. They feel a bit out of place to me, as they don’t relate to the rest of the card & it’s theming. (I do think it’d be good for gameplay, though...maybe that’s what you meant?)<br /><br />Agree that you made the right choice in your actual submission, especially since you made top 8.
