June MCC Round 3
Break the cycle
That's also the title of an amazing album by Staind. I love iiiit!!! What's that huge thing following me?
Main Challenge - Design a card with cycling. The card has to have cycling itself, not just care about it. Your card can't use any other mechanics from Ikoria (keyword counters, companion, mutate).
Subchallenge 1 - Your card is common.
Subchallenge 2 - Your card has a converted mana cost equal to or greater than 4.
If you have any questions, just ask in the discussion thread.bravelion83 wrote: ↑4 years agoLetter of the law: anything that goes under the cycling entry of the CR is good. Spirit of the law: use only cycling specifically because that's what's in Ikoria.

RUBRIC
(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?
(X/2) Subchallenges - One point awarded per satisfied subchallenge condition.
Total: X/25

BRACKETS
This is the versus round, each player will be paired against another player and the matchup will be judged by two judges. For each matchup, the player with the higher combined score will advance to the final round. In other news, I'm writing this from my new home. You probably don't care. The following is what you do care about.
