Welcome to the February MCC! We're already halfway through exploring the flavor and mechanics of the set with Kaldheim Month here at the MCC. It can't have been easy getting here -- you must have quite the story to tell...
Main Challenge: Design a multicolored saga.
Subchallenge 1: Your card has the (proper) name of your round 2 creature in its name.
Subchallenge 2: The rules text of your card has a word that's never been on a previous saga (that isn't in its own name).
DEADLINES
Design deadline: Wednesday, March 3rd 23:59 EDT
Judging deadline: Saturday, March 6th 23:59 EDT
Subchallenge 1: That is to say, the character's proper name, which typically will be the first word or words in that card's card name. (For example, if my card was named "Slimytrout, the Rainbow Fish" then my saga would get a point for being named "Slimytrout Wriggles Away" but not "The Rainbow Descends.")
Subchallenge 2: To continue the previous example, if my card was "I-III: Slimytrout Wriggles Away deals 3 damage to target creature" that would not satisfy the challenge. Also, numbers and number words are considered identical for the purpose of this subchallenge ("eight" doesn't count because Kiora Bests the Sea God makes an 8/8), as are plural/singular words (creature/creatures) and verb forms of the same word (draw/draws).
P.S. If you think it might not be obvious to the judges which word is the "new" word, you have an official dispensation to make a note of which one it is in your entry.
(X/3) Appeal - Do the different player psychographics (Timmy/Johhny/Spike) have a use for the card?
(X/3) Elegance - Is the card easily understandable at a glance? Do all the flavor and mechanics combined as a whole make sense?
Development
(X/3) Viability - How well does the card fit into the color wheel? Does it break or bend the rules of the game? Is it the appropriate rarity?
(X/3) Balance - Does the card have a power level appropriate for contemporary constructed/limited environments without breaking them? Does it play well in casual and multiplayer formats? Does it create or fit into a deck/archetype? Does it create an oppressive environment?
Creativity
(X/3) Uniqueness - Has a card like this ever been printed before? Does it use new mechanics, ideas, or design space? Does it combine old ideas in a new way? Overall, does it feel "fresh"?
(X/3) Flavor - Does the name seem realistic for a card? Does the flavor text sound professional? Do all the flavor elements synch together to please Vorthos players?
Polish
(X/3) Quality - Points deducted for incorrect spelling, grammar, and templating.
(X/2) Main Challenge (*) - Was the main challenge satisfied? Was it approached in a unique or interesting way? Does the card fit the intent of the challenge?
(X/2) Subchallenges - One point awarded per satisfied subchallenge condition.
