CCL August Finals/Round 5

"Three By Three"


Invasion of Theros // Ephara, Ever-Sheltering, taken from Magic Cards Realm, by Johan Grenier and Wizards of the Coast

Welcome to the Card Creation League! Everyone is free to participate in either or both of the first two rounds. Come join us!

Theme

It's Groups and Batches Month here at the CCL, where we'll focus on sets of things in Magic that make a natural grouping as well as specific batching themes, which care about things being any one out of a set.

Challenge

Choose three subtypes for different card types. Design a common card, an uncommon card, and a rare or mythic card, all of which batch those three subtypes together in their rules text.

Clarifications

Hide

• For example, you could make cards that care about one land type, one creature type, and one artifact type.
• Your cards must all care about the same set of three types.
• Make sure to include a rarity.
