This weekly contest is broken up into two phases--

1. Monday-Thursday is the "throwing down the gauntlet" phase:

During this phase, you can enter the contest by challenging up to three other people to a duel. To challenge another person, you can use the following format: "I challenge @[username] to a duel!"

Once someone has been challenged, they can enter the contest before 11:59p on Thursday PST by accepting the challenge. To accept a challenge, reply with a design prompt that both duelists will follow in the next phase.

Each participant can accept multiple duels, but can only be involved in one duel per person per week.

2. Thursday-Sunday is the "challenge accepted" phase:

For each challenge that was accepted, the duelists must each post a single card that fulfills the prompt. Designs are due before 11:59p PST on Sunday.

If one duelist posts a design for a duel and the other does not, the one who did automatically wins that duel.

The contest thread for each week shall be posted with a public poll to decide winning duelists of the previous week. The poll runs three days.

Ties count as 1 win for each duelist.

@wizyard I still need to cast my votes. What's the policy about voting for yourself? I've always held the belief that everyone should vote for themselves, since the votes basically cancel each other out, but I don't want to do anything inappropriate.

[BatBite]

Prompts:
Dispeller's Capsule - Colorless artifact with a colored ability.
Breeding Pool - A card from the Simic guild that involves paying life.
Rite of Ruin - A card that requires strategic planning to be used to maximum effect.
Arbiter of Knollridge - This card seems like it's begging to be a cycle, so make another card for that cycle. (Also, am I the only one that read that as Arbiter of Knowledge at first?)
Temur Sabertooth - Indestructible synergy.

[wizyard]

my policy is to vote for both myself and my opponent in each duel
this is a flavor choice, because duels have codes of honor,
but i dont know what others do and cant enforce my personal policy

[bravelion83]

@wizyard I still need to cast my votes. What's the policy about voting for yourself? I've always held the belief that everyone should vote for themselves, since the votes basically cancel each other out, but I don't want to do anything inappropriate.

I ALWAYS vote for myself in all my duels, and never for my opponent. I expect my opponent to also do that, and if they don't want, it's on them, don't blame me. Here it's just allowed, go ahead and do it. And I am also totally agreeing with your reasoning, everybody should do it. If everybody does it's as if nobody did. Also, if it's allowed, it's not that there is something morally wrong in voting for yourself or anything like that. You're not breaking any rules if, again, it's allowed.

And while we're here, as promised, I challenge you, @Flatline. My other challenges will come later.

@wizyard I still need to cast my votes. What's the policy about voting for yourself? I've always held the belief that everyone should vote for themselves, since the votes basically cancel each other out, but I don't want to do anything inappropriate.

I personally always vote for myself, but do what you want.

[wizyard]

I also challenge @wizyard

for our prompt i offer this: choose a wizard specialty from this list and create a legendary wizard who is master in that school of magicks

if it intrigues you, i might suggest that after our wizard masters have been chosen from this duel, we could continue the duel as a series for a few more weeks. for instance, next week we could each create a spell designed to counter the other's technique. another follow up could be designing the apprentice for our wizard master. or any continuations you can think of

[Flatline]

And while we're here, as promised, I challenge you, @Flatline. My other challenges will come later.

I accept. Do you want me to come up with a challenge? I've been told that's the norm, but I've gotten the impression that you randomize it with a D20. I'm good with it either way.

Thanks to everybody for the self-voting feedback. As I said, I think everyone should vote for themself, but I recall some people having issues with that back in the old Salvation days.

[JessWill]

I found the fact that you can a bit awkward, but yes, I always just vote for myself automatically once I saw that that's how it works and always assumed the other person would do the same.

I'll challenge @Flatline and @SinisterSister this time.

@Flatline Yeah, I remember that too, it's far from the first time that topic has come up. My opinion hasn't changed since then either.

As for the duel, yes, it's up to you to choose the challenge. The base rule is that the one who is challenged creates the prompt. I do have a list to 20 numbered prompts and I do choose randomly by rolling a d20, but that's when I am challenged, for example if you challenged me. There are some people who tell me to roll when I challenge them (EDIT - see Ink-Treader right below this post for example), but it's their choice anyway. There are also other people who make lists of prompts for who challenges them to choose from (see BatBite above for example), but again, it's them creating the prompts and willingly offering the choice to the challenger. The general rule is that who gets challenged chooses the challenge. What you can do now is either create a prompt yourself, or choose to have me roll my d20 instead. The default is the former, but you can also choose the latter. That's the point: you have been challenged, so the choice is yours. Let me know what's your choice!

[Ink-Treader]

@bravelion83 I accept. Roll the die

[bravelion83]

@Ink-Treader Roll is 18, which means:

A land card with one or more non-mana abilities that does NOT enter tapped. The card must be set on a Magic IP plane.

[Flatline]

Sorry for the delay. I have an easier time coming up with cards than I do challenges. Also, I think I've bitten off more than I intended to chew. "Let's just see if the site is still active," has quickly turned into a reborn habit.

@bravelion83The Skullspore Nexus isn't broken enough in Standard right now. Let's make a creature with base P/T of 6/6 or greater with a mana value of 2 or less.

@JessWill Let's make a goofy, black-bordered Goblin, or Goblin-related card.

Create a creature card that has a brand new type, for a brand new plane or a "universe beyond". The card must have flavor text referencing the plane or universe beyond.

[Flatline]

Why isn't there a ICYD discussion thread?

@wizyard, I felt bad that I was winning by the 1 vote you cast for me, so I went back and voted for both of us to counteract it. It's weird that you can vote for both options, but I assume that's just the way the site's polling works.
