Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

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...

Bumping this to remind potential contestants that there are about 36 hours left to enter!

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

@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...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

@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.

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

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 ...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

@void_nothing, just to clarify for Round 4, my assumption is that you mean only the meaning of "draft" from the two Conspiracy sets, and not the meaning of "draft" from the various Alchemy cards -- is that accurate?

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...
