CCDD 122517—Rudolph the Red-Nosed & Santa Claus

Cool Card Design of the Day
12/25/2017 - Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, my friends!

CCDD 060617—Bomb Squad

Cool Card Design of the Day
6/6/2017 - This design was top-down from the art, but I'm pleased to discuss the possibility of making non-dragon, non-phoenix flying creatures in red. I argue that as long as they're rare (or else infrequent and weak) and flavorful, they're fine.

CCDD 122216—Aerial Assault

Cool Card Design of the Day
12/22/2016 - This doesn't need to by hybrid, much-less twobrid: any combination of white and/or blue would work.

CCDD 090816--Slime Whelp

Cool Card Design of the Day
9/8/2016 - Today for Ooze Week, Slime Whelp asks you to feed it creatures from your deck, and it's up to you how many cards to gamble to make that happen. If you can feed it four times (or Titanic Growth it), it becomes a dragon. Flying in green?! Yeah. When you work for it through creatures.

CCDD 082316—Drachnid Widow

Cool Card Design of the Day
8/23/2016 - Larger flash creatures have to be expensive because of their potential card advantage. Giving a creature reach at instant speed is much cheaper, because it relies on you having a creature available to block. Drachnid Widow skirts the line, letting you block a small flier by itself, or a large one if you've got something bigger already.

CCDD 081616—Pine Gale

Cool Card Design of the Day
8/16/2016 - Giving choices to opponents in flavorful ways.

Tesla: Archetype Hype

Hi everybody! Sorry for the late article, but it's a fun one, so I hope it will be worth the wait. This week, we're going to be showing off the prospective archetypes for Tesla, in all their glory!

CCDD 053116—Cloudwailer

Cool Card Design of the Day
5/31/2016 - Dragons belong in all colors, but it's hard to make green dragons when all dragons fly and green doesn't. Here's one solution.

CCDD 031616—Kird Pegasus & Mist Serpent

Cool Card Design of the Day
3/16/2016 - When I saw this art, my first instinct was a Pegasus Birds of Paradise. That wasn't interesting—or mono-green—so my next instinct was Pegasus Kird Ape. Adding {1} and flying to Kird Ape is still fairly strong. That felt too uninspired to share here, though, so I tweaked the mechanic to be more interactive. Take a look.

CCDD 081115—Cano Hornet

Cool Card Design of the Day
8/11/2015 - A simple Memnite / Ornithopter hybrid for a block set on Kaladesh.

CCDD 070814—Keeper of the Night

Cool Card Design of the Day
7/8/2014 - Flying Blood Bairn.

CCDD 031211—Assault Goblin

Cool Card Design of the Day
3/12/2011 - Everyone loves 1/1 flying goblins, how about an upgrade? While still weak, Assault Goblin is a bit above the curve we've seen for common flying in red before. That might make it uncommon, but I think with the modern creature standard, this could make the cut.
