Welcome to the May MCC! It's Land Month here at the MCC. Lands are critical to how Magic is played, and this month will mechanically be all about them.
Main Challenge: Design a land card with an ability that turns itself into a creature.
Subchallenge 1: Your card has mana symbols of two or more colors in its text.
Subchallenge 2: Your card has two or more creature types when it is a creature.
DEADLINES
Design deadline: Saturday, May 30th 23:59 EDT
Judging deadline: Tuesday, June 2nd 23:59 EDT
Turning into a creature can mean Nantuko Monastery-style adding temporarily to its own card types or Westvale Abbey // Ormendahl, Profane Prince-style DFC/transform. These are both valid.
Subchallenge 1: One kind hybrid mana symbol is not mana symbols, plural, of two different colors. You need two different bicolor hybrid symbols to fulfill this subchallenge if you go this route.
(X/3) Appeal - Do the different player psychographics (Timmy/Johhny/Spike) have a use for the card?
(X/3) Elegance - Is the card easily understandable at a glance? Do all the flavor and mechanics combined as a whole make sense?
Development
(X/3) Viability - How well does the card fit into the color wheel? Does it break or bend the rules of the game? Is it the appropriate rarity?
(X/3) Balance - Does the card have a power level appropriate for contemporary constructed/limited environments without breaking them? Does it play well in casual and multiplayer formats? Does it create or fit into a deck/archetype? Does it create an oppressive environment?
Creativity
(X/3) Uniqueness - Has a card like this ever been printed before? Does it use new mechanics, ideas, or design space? Does it combine old ideas in a new way? Overall, does it feel "fresh"?
(X/3) Flavor - Does the name seem realistic for a card? Does the flavor text sound professional? Do all the flavor elements synch together to please Vorthos players?
Polish
(X/3) Quality - Points deducted for incorrect spelling, grammar, and templating.
(X/2) Main Challenge (*) - Was the main challenge satisfied? Was it approached in a unique or interesting way? Does the card fit the intent of the challenge?
