Votes: Rithaniel, RattingRots Totally intentional, in fact that was exactly the inspiration for the card. Right after designing yesterday's card (Immortal Vindicator) I thought: "What else can I make with undying? How about a Clone that comes back as a different creature?" Eternal Recruitm...

The damage can't be prevented. // Ashes 3BR Sorcery (U) Aftermath (Cast this spell only from your graveyard. Then exile it.) Return target creature card from a grave...

No problems, it happens. As I always say, real life comes first. I just wish it happened in a different round, not the versus one. Hope to see you again next month.

Votes: Flatline, emily Imitator Ghost 4U Creature — Shapeshifter Spirit (R) You may have Imitator Ghost enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield, except it has undying. (When this creature dies, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner...

there is an excellently detailed set of guidelines Thank you. An update will come but not in the immediate future. and I am available if you have any questions or need any guidance. I am too as the author of those guidelines to whoever the host of September will be, and I will also be there as a ju...

Maybe, and I've actually considered it, but I didn't want the card to essentially be "look at the top and bottom and choose one to draw". For once I chose to try something highly original, and I felt making it a cantrip would have taken away some of that. I didn't want that card to feel l...

To avoid having a versus round with an odd number of players, I'm extending both deadlines by one day, hoping that's enough for Superbajt to post. Any player can take advantage of the extra time to edit or change their entries if they wish to do so. New design deadline is Sunday, August 25th 23:59 E...

@Flatline: I'm also working on a custom set with a very big story behind it, the "very big project" that I mention in my signature link. I still don't know if I will ever make it public. Votes: netn10, RattingRots Honorable mention for Henlock. This is a DFC. I'm using the red mana symbol ...

Done. Sunderer of Minds 3UBR Creature - Demon {R} Flying, trample Whenever Sunderer of Minds deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles that many cards from their hand at random and then draws a card for each card exiled in this way. Until end of turn, you may cast nonland cards from among ...

Votes: shukkets, void_nothing ("tap target creature" isn't really red, but I'm interpreting more as "target creature can't block this turn") Flatline, marioguy3, netn10 Change of Mind U Instant (C) Look at the top card of your library, then look at the bottom card of your library...

Votes: Flatline, netn10 Honorable mention: emily Ajani's Wisdom 4GW Sorcery (R) You gain X life and draw X cards, where X is the number of creatures you control plus the number of planeswalkers you control. "What being enraged for the death of my brother eventually taught me is that rage is rar...

Kind of like the restriction of "Make an Alpha card, but base it on M20 sensibilities." That's exactly the idea that I was going for. I built the time travel story on top of it. The loose theme of the month is "the beginning". Round 1 was the beginning of this site. Round 2 was ...

You mean from a mechanics or flavor point of view? If you mean mechanics, that subchallenge is there to discourage players from designing a card that has a monoblue mana cost but also has other additional colors in the rules text. Is Torch Drake a monoblue card? Technically yes, but it's really an I...

Votes: emily, Rithaniel Nyx-Infused Rock 3W Enchantment Artifact (R) You may have Nyx-Infused Rock enter the battlefield as a copy of any Aura or Equipment you control, except it gains "When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, draw a card." If you do, attach it to ...

mellifluoresce hasn't logged in for four days or posted for six days. Unfortunately I think the correct course of action is to just count her out of judging for the month and divide up her bracket among the other judges.
