It's Mystery Story month here at the CCL. This month we will follow characters of contestants' design through they journey to uncover some thrilling secrets.
Challenge
- This is flavour-mostly round; other then the color and type, there are no mechanical constraints; the challange is to make card that is both cohesive and elegant.
- Treat both "their investigation" and "aquiring" more or less loosely; maybe your character only stumbled onto something, or maybe it was just another step forward in an ongoing chase; as long as you can make a card that shows believable progression of events, it is fine.
- Remeber to add rarity.
