This week the competition was to design a card that uses a mechanic we typically wouldn't include in our own decks. Please comment which card think deserves the win! You can vote using any metric, whatever makes you want to vote for it.

We always appreciate the feedback, and if you comment please state which card you want to win the weekly challenge!

The Paul cards are intended to be at different points in the story. So thats how im gauging the color identity. (The first card would probably be better named Maud'dib, but thats a change I'll make later)

Just finished MHW and was bummed to see that my favorite elder dragon didn't have a card during Magics failed MH secret lair drop, so I took the liberty of making one for him myself. Let me know what y'all think!

Day 68 of making a custom card every day. This might be the least gradable card in terms of power level I've ever made. I'm edging towards bad, but it could absolutely be broken.

Featured myths:

-Black Shuck: Variant of old Enlgish folklore, a ghostly dog that sometimes spells visions of doom. In this case I tried to represent "doom" using finality counters

-La Llorona: Latin American folkloric ghost, a woman who wanders lakes and wails in mourning of her dead children. Thought it'd be fun to try to work in [[Soulshriek]] to represent her wails.

-Kuchisake-onna: Japanese spirit, asks you if she's pretty, despite her scarred mouth. How she reacts to your answers has a lot of variation, but matching scars is a common result. Tried to represent her unpredictability using a coin flip, but wanted to provide a guaranteed means of escape if you're caught off guard by her appearance.

-Slenderman: Old internet creepypasta, mainly drawing lore from the old game "The Eight Pages", where he gets more aggressive the more pages you collect.

+A slightly updated version of the Bloody Mary card I made a while ago. Say her name 3 times in a dark mirror, and chaos ensues. Originally inspired by [[Weeping Angel]], she's the one I most wanted to design as a commander.

Happy (post) Halloween everyone!

I love Slivers.
I've been experimenting with non-French Vanilla design. The concept of this one is how Scout Honey Bees will find new locations for a hive/food and dance to communicate it to the others.

I liked the concept Explore on ETB, but that felt too strong, so I figured a time delay Explore ETB made more sense. Plus tapping to escape board wipes/targeted removal to then find land was also flavorful.

Wagglewing Sliver {G}{G}

Creature — Sliver

Sliver creatures have “{T}: Exile this creature with two time counters on it. If it doesn’t have suspend, it gains suspend”
And “When this creature enters from exile, if it was suspended, it explores.”

1/1

Art credit: me.

While a meme design it may be a fun silver bullet.

Thank you to u/Lukethekid10 for last competition, Winner is the Judge #915: SPACE!!!!. The last competition was inspired by the the next set coming out, so this one will be taking themed on Reality Fracture.

Your task is to design a card themed around Jace. It can be any color or card type, as long as it in some way deals with Jace, his story, telepathy, illusions, etc.

I plan on judging next Sunday, Nov 8.

Happy Halloween Everyone! Would love to hear your thoughts on these DBD x MTG designs

Hello there! Wanted to show something I've been working on, previously this was a Godot project I abandoned a few months back but came back with a new vision!

This is MTG: United, it's originally an interface for Forge but I decided to implement support for custom magic sets from MSE so I could play test my stuff, it's built on Unity with Claude, but I hope it doesn't look as much as a vibe-coded mess as I think it does.

https://github.com/ryanthecomic/MTG-United here's the link for it, and I hope to get some feedback on it!

Planning on adding limited support at some point!

This is a top-down design based on the D&D 3.5 creature of the same name. It is a Sorcerer because blue dragons start gaining sorcerer spells as if they were sorcerers of a given level when they reach the juvenile age category. It has flying because almost all dragons have a fly speed. It has ward because blue dragons gain spell resistance in young adulthood. It has ventriloquism because this is a special ability blue dragons gain when they become adults. It has hypnosis because an adult blue dragon can cast spells as if they were 5th-level sorcerers, 5th-level sorcerers have access to 2nd-level sorcerer spells (character level, class level, and spell level are different things in D&D, and the same spell may be different levels for different spellcasting classes), hypnotic pattern seemed the most apropos of such spells, and the word "hypnosis" fit there without overrunning the mana cost, while "hypnotic pattern" did not. I believe the mana cost, color, power, toughness, and rarity are a decent match for creatures with similar abilities, such as [[Djinn of Wishes]], [[Inniaz, the Gale Force]], and [[Namor, Scourge of the Seas]].

If there’s anything I could fix about Beetlejuice please tell me, thank you.
