Cool Card Design of the Day

A Set in Four Cards: Shadows of Lorwyn

Weekend Art Challenge 022114 Review—Nightsong

Weekend Art Challenge Review
Here's the challenge we're reviewing today. Note that blogger had some technical difficulties, partially inhibiting our usual back-and-forth.

Weekend Art Challenge 022114—Nightsong

Weekend Art Challenge
Click through to see this weekend's art and the design requirements for your single card submission, due Monday Tuesday morning. Every submission warrants feedback, which I will try to provide, and which everyone is welcome to provide as well.

If you choose, you may use that feedback to revise your submission any number of times. I will post and review the most recent submission from each designer some time on Monday, life permitting. To help ensure I recreate your design accurately, please use CARDNAME instead of ~ in your submissions.

CCDD 022014—Bed of Leeches

Cool Card Design of the Day
2/20/2014 - I was made to remember recently a card designed for M13GA that I was quite fond of, but that didn't make it into the final file for reasons other than design quality. It's not a strong card by any measure, but it is flavorful removal that gets the job done …for a ton of mana. And on very rare occasion, it will be better than Murder or Doom Blade.

That's exactly what I want out of a bad card.
