February MCC
Round 1: Imaginary Friend
Hello and welcome to this month's MCC! This time, we'll be designing characters - powerful planeswalkers. They are wonderful heroes (or villains), each with a deep backstory filled with glory, horror, love, hatred, excitement and despair. We are going to go through an in-depth creation process. What's the better place to start than the drawing board? Think big, think epic, or, should I say... Mythic.
Main Challenge: Design a Mythic dual-faced Legendary Creature card that transforms into a Planeswalker.
Subchallenge 1: Your card is exactly two colors and the only colored mana symbols in the card's cost are hybrid.
Subchallenge 2: Your card's Planeswalker side does not have any "+" abilities.
Subchallenge 1: Self-explanatory
Subchallenge 2: Gaining loyalty through other means than the ability cost is allowed. Chandra, Acolyte of Flame would pass.
Design deadline: Friday, February 7th 23:59 EDT
Judging deadline: Monday February 10th 23:59 EDT
(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
