Thanks to the discipline and patriotism of its soldiers, Allia has grown from a single city to a grand domain that encompasses much of the continent, with only a few barbarians in the farthest reaches yet to be conquered. They have unified their territories with a vast system of roads, so that their...

This is already in the guidelines, but I guess reminding everybody here too can't hurt. Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but until I read the full document a week ago to start judging, the only part of the guidelines I'd looked at was the formatting part...

My scores are posted. Very close in the middle of the standings, but that's the way things broke down. This is my first time judging, so I *might* be more willing to concede mistakes/make revisions than I will be when I've gotten my sea legs, but only if you make your case politely. (Also, if your s...

zdtsd: Metallic Echo - Could easily have just been parallel design, but this is very similar to the largely-unused Kaladesh mechanic that Maro refers to as "reverse engineer" (see this article , specifically the part about Cogwork Assembler). The two remaining cards are Cogwork Assembler ...

[mention]Krishnath[/mention]: I don't mean to be rude, but I did want to correct a misconception that you seemed to have about my card (especially since yours is the first evaluation and I didn't want other people to be, ahem, "inspired" by it ;) ). Unless I'm very wrong about how prowess ...

henlock, shukkets The upcoming return to Theros got me thinking about what a Roman-inspired set would look like, so the next few days worth of cards all spring from that: Wary Centurion 2W Creature – Ainok Soldier (U) Legion – Whenever Wary Centurion attacks with at least one other Soldier, untap al...

Appeal: 2/3 Spike basically likes it, since it's got plenty of riders and effects for them to get an edge with. Timmy is fine with it, but would likely prefer one bigger, splashier effect to a couple smaller ones. Johnny doesn't love it either, but the uncounterability and the scry give him somethi...

Yeah, I can do that, and no need to judge my entry -- I don't think it was my best showing anyway. May or may not get to the trial judging tonight, but if not will do it tomorrow morning. P.S.: I'm a little confused about how I should address the main challenge/subchallenges section, since the card ...

I don't really disagree with you, and as I said above, I think designing a balanced turn-zero discard card is a difficult (if not impossible) task, for exactly the reasons you outlined. (Although I don't think you're quite right about the Chancellors: Tangle is a crucial ingredient of Neoform decks ...

Krishnath: I actually think that card would be borderline unplayable, at least in 1v1 (I don't really play enough multiplayer to know if snagging a card from each opponent is worth two of your own cards). Under the new rules, you can basically think of it as adding 2 to your mulligan just to force y...

I don't think it's an easy task, because of the following constraints: *You don't want to force players to reveal their hands turn 0 - makes for a not very exciting game. *Random discard is pretty unfun, mostly because of the potential to hit lands. *You don't want to allow it to happen without othe...

Glad I could help! And you're definitely right that Kloam isn't strictly better than Paean -- like if you're on the draw and you have to pick one to be the top card of your deck -- but I think on balance Kloam is better and Paean is already a card that wotc would be unlikely to print both for being ...

Just chiming in briefly here to support Krishnath. Imagine if this card existed: Paean to Tourach 0 Sorcery As an additional cost to cast this spell, exile two black cards from your hand. Target player discards two cards at random. That would be busted, right? There's a very strong chance that your ...

Kicadia is a plane dictated by the hand of fate. Everything that happens there, happens for a reason. There are no chance meetings, or coincidences. Or at least, that's how it's been as long as anyone could remember. Until one day the unearthing of a long forgotten evil throws all of that into chao...
