Weekend Art Challenge 052617—AlexKonstad

Click through to see the illustration and design requirements for your single  card submission, due Monday morning. Every submission warrants feedback, which you may use to revise your submission any number of times. I will aim to review the most recent submission from each designer.

CCDD 052617—Spider Sense

Cool Card Design of the Day
5/26/2017 - Was messing with auras yesterday, primarily using flash to mitigate their risk of card disadvantage, and found a tribal line to explore.

CCDD 052517—Feed the Cluster

Cool Card Design of the Day
5/25/2017 - Spider Pack is replicate-for-spiders. You could apply any creature tribe to pack, for more tribal effects. You could alternately apply card types or colors. You could even remove all conditions and just have a version that lets you pay for any number of legal targets.

CCDD 052417—Ambush Spider

Cool Card Design of the Day
5/24/2017 - Fixing Qasali Ambusher and Giant Trap Door Spider by merging them.

CCDD 052317—Widow's Trap

Cool Card Design of the Day
5/23/2017 - Here are two green spider-flavored removal auras.

First, green ~Pacifism with a Spider-tribal bonus.

CCDD 052217—Pack Spider

Cool Card Design of the Day
5/22/2017 - If solitary spiders aren't disturbing enough, consider the spider colonies of Peru. Here's a less disturbing card.

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 011515—Double & Poly Spider

Cool Card Design of the Day
1/15/2015 - Double Spider is tall.
Poly Spider is just big.

CCDD 061714—Slingshot Spider

Cool Card Design of the Day
6/17/2014 - It's pretty awkward that this art shows the spider attacking an earth-bound target, but I was lucky to find a fantasy illustration of a spider at all. I can only suffer so many macro photographs of real spiders before I lose the ability to sleep, or keep my feet under the desk.

CCDD 053013—Ambush Spider

Cool Card Design of the Day
5/30/2013 - Tangle Spider deserves a power-level update. In honor of Giant Trap Door Spider. Alternately, Qasali Ambusher needs a simpler, mono-color version.

CCDD 041211—Aranax, Spider Queen

Cool Card Design of the Day
4/12/2011 - This one goes out to Mr. Jon Becker, my favorite Philly-based pro player, and fellow Magic spider enthusiast. And by enthusiast, I mean, Jon is far-and-away the most vocal proponent for spiders in Magic (possibly the only one, of such reknown).
