I have an alternate card idea for this challenge.
Fat Man, Mini Nuke Launcher
-I decided to use this card for the challenge instead, since it's much cooler than good ol' Codsworth

Okay, I am stupid.
Can someone explain today's challenge theme for me?

As I understand: Make a card based on something Hasbro sells (e.g. https://shop.hasbro.com/en-us), but not one of the things they've already done (e.g. Transformers, D&D, My Little Pony).
Winner of August '22 DCC and September '22 NCED

Congratulations @netn10 for winning October!
I definitely wasn't able to keep up this month, huh.

Congrats @netn10! I'm really glad I started doing this challenge, it's so much fun and it helps me work on my custom sets a ton.
(Also thanks for the compliment netn10, the flavor was probably odd because it's based on an OC for my Western Set)

I just noticed that I might have slightly misunderstood the last challenge.
I thought it meant, to give a card haste or vigilance, breaking the color pie, and justifying it with flavour or mechanics. Like how Mana Tithe is a white counter spell.
While it probably meant assuming haste/vigilance were part of that color's identity and designing a card with that in mind.
Anyway, I guess it still worked out.

Honestly my idea was that if white got haste it would use it primarily for activated abilities. I took inspo from Bonded Fetch, another off-color haste card with defender.

Is there a reason my submission (for a four- color removal spell) wasn't included?

I'm just seeing this, but you posted in the thread for the 20th in the middle of the day (Eastern time) today, the 21st. I try my best to edit threads to include entries that are posted shortly after the new challenge goes up, but I can't always catch everything, especially not when that much time is passed.OneAndOnly wrote: ↑4 months agoIs there a reason my submission (for a four- color removal spell) wasn't included?

Well, geez. How'm I s'posedta win with my one measly submission a month if it doesn't even get recognized?
are you allowed to vote for your own entry? I imagine not.
Yeah, that's generally disallowed. Otherwise, for a non-negligible portion of players, one of their two votes would always be for their own card.

@JovialJovian, care to enlighten me on what you mean by 'New Beginnings'? Or do you perhaps expect one to interpret it for themselves?

@void_nothing, your quotes on the Jan 24th Challenge seem to be, uh, broken.

Generally, it's up to each participant to choose how strictly they want to apply the criteria. Anecdotally, I haven't found a correlation between the number of participants and how strictly the winning entrants feel -- sometimes, you get a submittal that interprets the criteria in a completely off-the-wall manner that's endearing. But generally I find (in all the contests on Nexus) people do tend to be fairly literal.
@YoTed The prompt was just two words and the exact meaning up for interpretation. If you had actually used the word catastrophe on the card I would have probably thought it's a clever interpretation of the prompt and voted for you.
And I forgot to make the Mouldering Gold Keeper an artifact creature.

Yeah, but those 10-line cards are notable for having too much text. If I'm not mistaken, they include such standouts as Ice Cauldron and Shahrazad. The 9-line cards, meanwhile, are in the minority.shullz wrote: ↑2 months ago@Rithaniel: I thought 10 was the max number of lines printed on an official magic card. And 9 lines are relatively common. I try to word my cards in a way to not go over that limit. And I usually include a text version, if I think it's hard to read.
But I still should probably cut down more, even if it's hard sometimes.
The rule, as I understand it, is: Aim for 7 or 8 lines. If you find that you need more, 9-line cards do exist, but that's the buffer zone. You use it when you need it, but you don't aim for a 9-line card.
That being said, it's difficult to judge how many lines of text a card actually has unless a render is posted. I've probably made plenty of cards (in the last year, even) that wouldn't obey this rule. I'm only noticing it because a lot of people have decided to post renders these last couple of months. But, it is a real design constraint: If your card is meant to be easily readable, you should use the space you have efficiently.
(Also, planeswalker text boxes are an entirely different can of worms.)
