Weekend Art ChallengeGreetings, artisans! Click through to see this weekend's art and the design requirements for your single card submission, due Monday morning. Every submission warrants feedback, and everyone is encouraged to give feedback. You may use that feedback to revise your submission any number of times, though only the version rendered will be included in the review, if someone volunteers to render the cards.
Choose a card you submitted to any previous Weekend Art Challenge and design a card for a new set that references it. Include a link to the art for your new card and to the rendering of your old card. If you've never designed for WAC before, choose any card that was.
When you say reference, do you mean directly in the card (like Renowned Weaponsmith), a Time Spiral block/Origins type callback (Starfield of Nyx/Opalesence), something else entirely (some sort of synergy, callback in the card text/flavor text, etc), or any of the above? I'm a little confused, apologies.
ReplyDeleteWhen it doubt, go with any of the above
DeleteThe wording of the challenge is also ambiguous.
DeleteDoes it mean "Design a card that references the old card, which will be printed in a new set (with any possible theme)", or does it mean "Design a card (not necessarily a direct callback) for a new set that has a theme based on the flavor and/or mechanics of the old card"?
When it doubt, go with any of the above
DeleteDesign a card that is any kind of reference to the old card... For a set with any theme,
DeleteCards these days have very strange names, funny names.
ReplyDeleteBases Loaded {R}
Enchantment (u)
Whenever you deliver the punchline of a joke, put a base counter on target land. That land has "Whenever an opponent tells a joke, this land deals 1 damage to you." (The land continues to burn after CARDNAME has left the battlefield.)
I'm still working on the art and flavortext, but it's the Burning Vengeance equivalent for Un-printed's Banana wedge, which is R-based with B and W enablers. What you need is a mix of Banana permanents (that each trigger a joke on your upkeep) and Orange spells or permanents (that deliver a punchline). (Jokes and punchlines are game-based actions; if you just tell a "joke" during gameplay, your opponent may laugh, but nothing will trigger.)
The original card, Poultrykranos.
How do you get it to link to the page like that? (I'm not fantastic with computers and I wouldn't be surprised if it was something simple.)
DeleteYou can use html to embed hyperlinks in comments, but just pasting the rules is entirely sufficient.
DeleteIt's a rush job, but here's some art: https://40.media.tumblr.com/e347891466dc0996eddeb04a7828a93a/tumblr_nub79315WI1qa95neo1_540.png
DeleteAnd flavor text:
“What’s your life total?”
“I don’t know. Third base!”

ReplyDeleteOriginal card: Una Rioghain.
ReplyDeleteTaking Jay's advice, I'm changing her from green to blue. So her mana cost is now 2UW, and her second ability makes a Blue/White token instead.
Card that is referencing:
Una's Business Manager-2U
Creature-Human-Mythic
When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, you may have it become a copy of target Planeswalker except its planeswalker type is Clone.
Flavor text: Who watches over my establishments while I'm gone? I do of course!

Took my best shot at wording this, could use some opinions.
