Weekend Art Challenge 013113—SeeEffEye

Weekend Art Challenge
Click through to see this weekend's art and the design requirements for your single card submission, due Monday morning. Every submission warrants feedback, which I will try to provide, and which everyone is welcome to provide as well.

If you choose, you may use that feedback to revise your submission any number of times. I will post and review the most recent submission from each designer some time on Monday, life permitting. To help ensure I recreate your design accurately, please use CARDNAME instead of ~ in your submissions.

CCDD 013014—Mogg Skulk

Cool Card Design of the Day
1/30/2014 - Goblins are such cowards.

CCDD 012914—Search the Catacombs

Cool Card Design of the Day
1/29/2014 - This design needs some work, but I like the core idea that it's a self-contained dungeon dive. Who knows what treasures you'll find and what monsters you'll unleash? I'm not sure it should be black, and I have very little idea how much it should cost. Thoughts?

A Set in Four Cards: Ruins of Zendikar

Ulamog's Devourer (Common)

Ingest 1 (Whenever CARDNAME becomes blocked by a creature with lesser power, exile that creature and put a +1/+1 counter on CARDNAME.)

6/6

Ondu Refugee (Common)

{1}{W}

Creature - Kor Cleric

Teamwork - Whenever CARDNAME attacks with exactly one other creature, they both gain lifelink until end of turn.

When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, you may destroy target colorless creature.

3/2

Desperate Rage (Common)

{3}{R}

Instant

Target creature gets +4/+0 and gains first strike until end of turn.

CCDD 012814—Forest Giant

Cool Card Design of the Day
1/28/2014 - I mocked Forest Giant up about a year ago. IIRC, it came about when we were discussing giants that wield trees as clubs, but I love that it's a reasonable card to play in Limited both with and without forests. Not nearly as strong as Kird Ape, but strong enough (again, for Limited).

Weekend [Art] Challenge Review 012414—Greek Tropes

Weekend Art Challenge Review
Here's the challenge we're reviewing today.

Assault the Boggart Warrens: An MtG Challenge Deck

I'm going to let you all in on a secret: I don't play nearly as much Magic as I wish I could.

I used to. I had two roommates who were down for games whenever, but nowadays I have a family and more demands on my time. I try to make it out to a Tuesday Night Draft when I can, but the fact is I enjoy casual-constructed formats a lot more (EDH, Planechase, and kitchen table decks). It doesn't matter that I rarely get a chance to play them. I still routinely build decks and tweak them.
