Just letting everyone know that I made the edits to void_nothing's judgement from last round which ended up giving them 1 more point, so the bracket is now set (there was a tie, which was settled at random):

@Subject16 vs. @Komandon
@void_nothing vs. @Freyleyes
@bravelion83 vs. @shullz

I'm sorry I'm really confused why Miracle would count fully. A simpler idea I have could do something like that frame wise but a DFC area symbol without being a DFC would look better but I know the tombstone on older cards for things like threshold doesn't count. Miracles have a different frame -- ...

Would a new DFC/ transformation symbol count if the function is new. I have an idea similar to a non-DFC mechanic but the frame is thinking is lazy but also not enough room for text unless as a DFC. Just putting a new symbol in an existing frame doesn't qualify -- for instance, the Eldrazi Werewolv...

@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...

Ah, I see -- yes, that is a misunderstanding on my part. I believe that will increase your score slightly, although there might be a slight counterbalancing deduction in elegance given the aforementioned misunderstanding. I will edit my judgement, but given my time constraints while traveling and th...

My judgements are in, I apologize for the delay. I will post the next round in six hours or so, so if you have complaints/questions get them in quickly.

Design (1/3) Appeal - Spike likes the prospect of card advantage and/or unblockability, but is wary of giving their opponent resources. Timmy likes the unblockability and card draw as well but isn't so big on the fact that they have to give up the former if they want to maximize the latter. Johnny ...

I apologize for the delay, but I have been traveling and turned out not to have wifi at my first destination. I will do my best to get my judgements in tomorrow but can't make any promises.

Ok, round is closed! Judging assignments:

Top 3 from each bracket advance.

24 hours remain in this round, @marioguy3 @void_nothing @kwanyeegor-ii @Komandon. I would love to get the round closed on time if possible -- I have some travel plans that would make it a lot easier for me to get judgements in if I can start on Friday.

Seems like Ink-Treader and I both have at least draft versions of our judgements ready and posted. The judging period doesn't officially end for another day and a half, so if you have concerns/questions about your score now is the time to ask them, since once the period ends the scores will be offic...

Design (1/3) Appeal - Johnny has no interest whatsoever. Timmy and Spike don't mind a Mesa Unicorn but don't love the amount of work necessary to get it. (3/3) Elegance - No issues with comprehensibility. Development (3/3) Viability - Usually green doesn't get lifelink, but black certainly does so ...

Bumping this to remind potential contestants that there are about 36 hours left to enter! Also in case folks are being put off by the work required to design a watermark, just a note that this is entirely optional and the only thing you actually have to include with your entry is the name of the wat...

@slimytrout: are Universes Beyond custom cards with related watermarks acceptable? Hmm, I'd be interested in other folks' opinions on this, but my inclination is that it depends on your definition of "acceptable." I would not personally disqualify someone for making a Universes Beyond car...

@Rithaniel don't forget to put the name of your watermark in your May Round 1 submission -- it seems fairly obvious from the flavor text but it does need to be explicitly named.

Vaza, Winged Death 2BB Legendary Creature — Demon Assassin (R) Reveal Vaza, Winged Death as you draft it. Each other player reveals the last card they drafted. Note the name of each other creature card revealed this way. Flying When Vaza deals combat damage to a player, destroy target creature with...

Sorry, spent too much time putting the May MCC together and didn't leave enough time for this -- would love 24 hours if that's okay.

The optional parts are definitely not part of the criteria, you can think of them as you would a card render -- if you feel like a description or illustration really ties your submission together and/or you just want to include it you can do so, but I don't plan on adding or deducting any points as ...

Great! Hopefully once I post the first round tomorrow it will become clearer to folks whether they feel more like judging or participating.

Great! I will have you down as a reserve judge, so still open to volunteers if anyone is interested! (I also hope I haven't oversold how novel these challenges are -- they definitely require folks to design around things they may not really have thought about before, but Adobe Illustrator will not b...
