Today's Challenge:
Fungus

.::To Enter::.
In a single post:

  • Make a card that fits the current challenge.
  • Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.

So when I think "pauper playable" the imagine in my mind is of a card that is low complexity enough to be printed at common but not necessarily the appropriate power level for a common. This might not *exactly* be in line with Wizards design philosophy but it's how I approach the idea.

Rusty Scalpel 1
Artifact - Equipment (C)
Equipped creature gets -2/-0 and has first strike and wither.
Equip 0

IIW: Lots of numbers

Equip 1

IIW: Blue removal

hm: netn10 -- it's a super cool idea, but a) I don't quite get what "connect" means and b) Theory seems like a 3-mana draw (at least) 5.

Auriok Saber 4W
Artifact - Equipment (C)
Affinity for artifacts (This spell costs less to cast for each artifact you control.)
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has vigilance.
Equip 4W. This ability costs 1 less to activate for each creature you control.

HM: @netn10, that feels like an Un-mechanic and I am intrigued, but it is unclear how it's supposed to work with the reminder text given. What does connecting them do? In what zone do they connect? Without explanation, this is a Steamflogger Boss scenario, and I can't vote for it.
Brawler's Wraps 3
Artifact - Equipment
When Brawler's Wraps enters the battlefield, attach it to target creature you control, then that creature fights up to one target creature you don't control.
Equipped creature gets +1/+0.

Pygyzy (two thumbs up -- this seems like a great example of "pauper playable equipment"), void_nothing
HM: JovialJovian -- came down to you vs. void for my second vote and, given the prompt, I went with overpowered (for limited) rather than underpowered (for pauper).

@netn10: Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but I still don't understand what connecting them actually does. Like, do you get to cast the other one for free, or something? And what zone are they in, if not the graveyard? I understand the geometry of it, just not the result.

Mycelium Creeper 1G
Creature - Fungus (R)
Mycelium Creeper gets +1/+1 for each creature token you control.
Whenever Mycelium Creeper attacks, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token.
0/1

From the way i interpret it, you can "chain" a spell if they each share a matching symbol. Sorta similar to Dominos in that if you have a 1, you can play a 1 off it. If that makes sense. So if you have ***, you can cast another *** spell for free

@void_nothing -- don't mean to be a pain (and can post it myself if you're busy) but I think we're missing the January 1 NCED.
