@slimytrout I have a question about round 3. You may provide some visual description of your card's layout,. Would a visual mockup, like we did with the watermarks in round 1, be allowed here, too? Yes, you can always make a visual mockup of your card -- that is allowed under the MCC rules even wit...

My May MCC Round 2 judgments are complete. I can't certainly complain with first place in the bracket (by the way making macabre mana two cards rather than one, and also specifically colored, was exactly due to the lessons we've all learned with delve, I was trying to make a fixed version of it). I...

Votes: Sagharri, Rithaniel I've tried making a faction mechanic for each of the factions of Kolyfar. I'll go in reverse order as the previous cycle. I've already presented the faction to you so I won't do that again.* EDIT: I forgot to specify that "decree" is an ability word for the trigg...

Votes: netn10, Rithaniel This is a card taken straight out of the second set on the plane of Vukanat, which conveniently has five continents. This is the rare land cycle of that set. I won't post the others as they are mechanically identical except for the colors. This is the continent that contains...

Votes: Sagharri, Rithaniel The non-R faction of Kolyfar is the government, also known as "the Lawful Eye". It's a highly pervasive government that wants to control everything on the plane by all means necessary. That's reflected in the intended play style of the faction: in gameplay, they ...

Votes: Sagharri, Rithaniel When I introduced the group of seven protagonists from my first story on Vukanat I didn't include any characters outside of the group, but there is one that could be considered the 8th unofficial member, who only communicates with Kim and Vuk through written letters and ha...

Komandon (X/3) Uniqueness - Has a card like this ever been printed before? Does it use new mechanics, ideas, or design space? Does it combine old ideas in a new way? Overall, does it feel "fresh"? Usual premise, guidelines author etc... First of all, those are intended to be alternative q...

Votes: Rithaniel, netn10 HM: Sagharri The non-G faction of Kolyfar are the Stormwind, rather obviously based on flying creatures (and the non-flying creature interact with the flying ones by buffing them, and such), but with two subthemes: a storm-like mechanic tied to flying somehow to go on spells...

Votes: Rithaniel, archemediesx HM: netn10 You've already met Alfred, my Abzan-colored loxodon hermit archaeologist planeswalker. It's him in one of his solitary explorations in the flavor here. I've already told his backstory: he's been born in a farm and spent there all his early life and adolescen...

Maybe the assumption of every custom card designer having their own four-color faction plane was a bit exaggerating on my part, but I know for sure that I'm not the only one. In my opinion, it's obvious design space: we have sets about literally all other color combinations: two-color ally and enemy...

Votes: Sagharri, Rithaniel (I can see memory issues though) The non-W faction of Kolyfar are the Serlaks. I was missing it until I refound them in one of the articles that I'm republishing, I refined their concept and put them right into my table. They are sapient creatures, physically half shark an...

I've been trying to write a short story, but I might need to rewrite some stuff before I actually publish it. It's since NEO that I have to make a second edition of my first story to fix the main antagonist's backstory as back in 2019 when I first wrote it I thought it would have been cool to make ...

Votes: Sagharri, folding_music (I believe compromise is a workable mechanic that can be translated into rules language with relative ease.)
