Design a common green creature for this art to help mitigate an imbalanced Limited environment that otherwise favors black over green.

Tesla: Design Challenge 062915 — Interactive Progress

In last week's discussion about the kinds of progress and anticipation that we might use in Tesla, we talked about certainty. If progress is too certain, Jenesis notes, then Tesla games devolve into "solitaire resource-accumulation". If progress is too uncertain, Lee Owens observes, and "when it works, you aren't happy that your machine finally worked. You are frustrated that it took so long to do something it was built to do". The problem is finding a balance between these.

Jenesis did note one solution: interaction. If your opponent has nothing hidden, outcomes are certain - but if they have an unknown, hidden variable, all your results become uncertain. This changing nature of interaction allows us to find a balance in a fun and natural way. This week, let's explore this further. Your challenge is to design something that uses progress in an interactive way.

Cool Card Design of the Day
6/24/2015 - I was designing around black tutors that require sacrifice and came up with this card's text before seeing the connection to Natural Order. Would've priced it {1}{B}{B} otherwise.
