CCL July Finals/Round 5

"Personal Collection"


Ajani's Last Stand, taken from Art of MtG, by Slawomir Maniak and Wizards of the Coast

Welcome to the Card Creation League! Everyone is free to participate in either or both of the first two rounds. Come join us!

Theme

It's Planeswalker's Journey Month here in the CCL! Many classic CCL months back in MTGSalvation had the contestants take a single character from round to round. We're bringing that back this month.

Challenge

Design four cards: A common, an uncommon, a rare, and a mythic, whose names reference the name of your planeswalker. They must all be different card types, and the mythic must be a new version of your planeswalker. You can add one color, remove one color, or keep the same colors you had last time. All of the other cards must be within the color identity of the mythic.

• Your lower-rarity cards' names can include things like "Chandra's" or "of Ajani" to be valid. Referencing surnames and titles is also okay.
• The lower-rarity cards can be any combination of colors as long as they're no colors the mythic isn't. For example, if my mythic were a URW planeswalker I could make colorless, white, red, WU, or URW cards among others.
• Make sure to include a rarity.
