Tesla: File Sharing
Tesla seems like a prime location to capture the feeling of building your own machine. Looking at last week's discussion, a pretty common approach was directly grafting additional abilities onto artifacts from one another.
I want to pin down just how plausible an idea that is.

CCDD 112514—Aura of Leadership
Cool Card Design of the Day
10/00/2014 - I've been getting déjà vu on a lot of my designs for a while. I expect some of that is because I'm inevitably returning to certain compelling ideas, and some of it is just a paranoid byproduct of having shared as many designs as I have over nearly 7 years. (!)
I couldn't find this in the archives, but if you can, let me know. This is the closest I could find.

CCDD 112514—Kemral's Vengeance
Cool Card Design of the Day
11/25/2014 - It's been a while since I've designed a card from the art down, but my repository is waning and I found this piece and had to do something with it. I imagine it supports a story moment in which a red character named Kemral repays a betrayal from a black-aligned ally, but that's all fluff.

CCDD 112014—Ridealong Bandito
Cool Card Design of the Day
11/20/2014 - I made several terrible iterations on this mechanic before settling on this one. I'd say it's neither great nor awful: usable, perhaps with some tweaking.

CCDD 111814—Dream Trap, Dungeon Shackles & Aspen Blessing
Cool Card Design of the Day
11/18/2014 - Here's a partial cycle of auras that upgrade from simple+small effects to bigger effects when you can afford it.

Tesla: Integrated Circuit
I was recently looking back through some of the work we've compiled for Tesla seeking out common threads. Clearly our ideas influence one another, but if an idea keeps coming up it means one of two things: either it's a Melvin-y design challenge, or it hits on something endemic to human nature that we're anxious to experience.
I think combining artifacts with one another is the latter.

CCDD 111714—Infect?
Cool Card Design of the Day
11/17/2014 - I discovered last night that the Weekend Art Challenge I had scheduled never went live. Sorry about that, artisans. Mid-week challenges have done poorly in the past, so I'll save it for this weekend. Instead, I'll be sure to post more CCDDs to discuss this week.
First up, I was listening to MaRo's Lessons Learned podcast about Scars of Mirrodin and it occurred to me to wonder if the set had to have -1/-1 counters. Consider this:

CCDD 111314—The Natural
Cool Card Design of the Day
11/13/2014 - This creature is simply meant to get double the size from +1/+1 counters. How would you word it?

CCDD 111214—Raise the Unknown & Indiscriminate Necromancy
Cool Card Design of the Day
11/12/2014 - It occurred to me that a 2/2 colorless creature is an awful lot like a zombie (particularly a Null from Innistrad or Returned from Theros).

CCDD 110414—Sliver Breeders
Cool Card Design of the Day
11/4/2014 - Here's a novel way to do slivers. Given how mechanically different it is from existing slivers, it likely makes more sense to use breed on another type of creature, but thematically it's perfect for slivers, so that's how I'll present it for now:
