MTGNexus

My favorite contest is the Daily Challenge, and I need more interesting design prompts in my life. So in this game, you give three wishes (design prompts), and the next poster posts card(s) for one or more of them and then posts their three wishes.

Let's start with...

Wishes:
1. Tribal Enchantment - Phyrexian
2. A double-faced Ravnica card
3. An Un burn spell
