Theme

It's time for Elements Month to return with a vengeance! Last appearing over two years ago on MTGSalvation, this flavor-based month of challenges is a guaranteed fun, if strange, time. All will be explained below, but let's get on with the show.

The magic of the natural elements is some of the most primal and mysterious there is - simplistic though it may seem, appearances can be deceiving, and the "elements" can include more abstract and powerful forces than most mages imagine.

This month, you'll be theming design around your picks from the following lists. Choose wisely, as your picks will carry over round-to-round.

• It doesn't matter what cards are what colors, as long as there are four of them and at least one of them is white, one is blue, one is black, one is red, and one is green.
• This does mean that one or more cards must be muticolor, as you must represent all five colors in four cards.
• You could design three monocolor cards and one two-color card, one five-color card and three colorless ones, or anything in between.
• Subject16 picked red dust and green flesh. Henlock picked white grain and green seasons.
• Make sure to include a rarity.
