Reaching out for a host for the November MCC.
Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

(3/3) Quality - Looks good.
I have just noticed, but it is not entirely true - like bravelion83 has spotted, there is a wrongly placed "the" in the Vengeful Skathul's text. Due to small difference in total points, I think it might matter.

That is true! Of course I wouldn't take away more than 0.5 points meaning you and slimytrout would both qualify for the final.

I've fixed both my final post in round 3, making it officially a tie, and the players list for the final round, now including slimytrout too.

Flavor 2/3 - I like the names, and the word "moon" connecting them. MSE shows me there is definitely room for flavor text on the front face and also a couple lines on the back face, so the lack of flavor text is a problem here.
I see seven lines of rules text on the back in MSE... If I added even a single line of flavor text, the font size would go down. For future reference, how many lines of rules text in MSE do you consider to be enough to justify not adding flavor text?

I actually try adding lines of flavor text to see how many could fit while still having an acceptable font size. I consider the Eternal Masters printing of Animate Dead as the limit: ten lines plus two breaks. It's the longest text that has been printed for real as far as I know.

One half would have to have at least mana value 7.

Just to make sure: would Subchallenge 2 be satisfied by including a keyword ability that has a built-in additional cost (e.g. Kicker or Replicate)?
