Re: The MCC Discussion Thread
bravelion83 I am also curious about what the level of strictness is on subchallenge 1, since as haywire so aptly demonstrated above there are always going to be corner cases. Does the card I submitted satisfy it? It generally can't be solved on the turn it's played, but obviously the existence of c...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread
bravelion83 I understand what you're saying here, but I think it goes against the text of the subchallenge as it currently stands: usually worded as "suspect target/a creature an opponent controls" Obviously the "target creature" part is clear enough, but if you allow the suspec...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread
I have to be honest, bravelion83 , I think that Subchallenge 1 requires considerably more rules knowledge than it is appropriate to ask of competitors, especially since it is only round 2 and not the finals. I have been trying to write a post to help people understand the difference between a cost, ...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread
One thing that I will note is that when I've run the contest in the recent past with only two judges, I have cut from ~10->8->4->2 rather than ~10->8->6->3, which I think has two advantages: 1) it increases the stakes of round 2 since it feels more likely that you will get eliminated, and 2) it decr...

Re: January CCL, Round 4: Journey
Missing a p/t on the back. The treasure production is a bit random, but the vehicle theme is fun if very hard to trigger -- seems like Magda, Brazen Outlaw is mostly better at the things this wants to do. I find it a little weird to theme a card around WotC's retcons, but I do really like the trans...

I am not going to speak for other contest hosts, or cast aspersions on their choices (again, I think a lot of this can be settled with a poll after the month is complete), but I don't want people to think that mind games are necessary.

Re: January CCL, Round 3: Crossfire
I think folks are maybe mistaking what is meant by "type" in this challenge? Both of the above entries fit the challenge because they're creatures on both faces, but I believe they don't need to share creature types if you don't want them to. Rakdos Raid 2{b/r} Battle — Skirmish (U) (As a ...

Do you have any advice for how to stay enthused all the way through making a custom set?

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread
1. Mystical is overdoing it, instead, I'd just allow Lesson on non-spells, end of changes. If that is not a minor change, I don't know what is. 2. If we can't make cards that require CR changes, are new mechanics entirely banned in MCC? I don't like where this is heading. 1. I guess we're just goin...

Re: The CCL Discussion Thread
This one also doesn't come up to often, but I would add: 4. Sometimes there are CCL months where what you submit in later rounds is dependent on your first round card, which would be more complicated if rounds 1 and 2 went up simultaneously (although admittedly not impossible, since those months alw...
