CCDD 051218—Hymn to Rot

Cool Card Design of the Day
5/12/2018 - There are two problems that prevent Hymn to Tourach from being reprinted in new sets: The most egregious is that it can get lands and mana-screw players, which isn't fun; The other issue is that reliably nabbing two cards inherently costs 3+ mana.

CCDD 012417—Manhunt

Cool Card Design of the Day

CCDD 101215—Incite Foolishness

CCDD 120214—Volcanic Musing

Cool Card Design of the Day

7/31/2013 - Lucky was pretty clearly the best mechanic presented as-is yesterday. I want to explore a variation of overcharge some more though, because I really think it has potential.

This version uses manaflow's reminder text, but all the spells have {X} in the cost, allowing you to count the base cost of the spell toward your potential free spell, improving your chances of success.

CCDD 032113—A Whack on the Side of the Head

Cool Card Design of the Day
3/21/2013 - I was thinking how black is the only color that gets discard, and wondered how other colors could do it. I remembered how red often discards in order to draw, ala Goblin Lore. What if it could do that offensively? I set out to make a card like that and this is the result:
