#MTGMoxtober Day 9: Duel

 I thought it would be fun to have a minigame for a duel card. Who doesn't love a minigame?

Card of the Day - Squirrel Call

I originally called this Call the Squirrelwatch, but that was too silly.

Card of the Day - Calculated Tragedy

I really like the idea of this. It might be better as a 4color card, but I think Abzan colors fit it well.

Card of the Day - Exchange Favors

So Hollee said to me tonight, "Are there any bargain cards? Like a card that can let you trade a card in your hand with a card in an opponent's hand?" 

I thought for a minute and couldn't think of one, so I made it.

I had to rejigger the wording to make it mutual exile instead of just trading cards in hands, but if it makes you feel better, you can put that card in your hand if you like.  I give you my permission.

Card of the Day - Guardian Spirits

There were a few iterations on this theme. I wanted a card that made Spirits, but could potentially be more powerful than other token creators.  This spell will also definitely stop board stalls in limited. It's important to note that this card feels awful if you have no creatures, but the upside is very good. I suppose I could change it a bit to make it feel less bad with no other creatures.

With this version, you get at least one creature, but it's much more powerful.  Should it cost 3WW, maybe?

Let me know what you think either on the comments here, or on the Facebook page here.

Card of the Day - Summoned to the Throne Room

In the second Story Spotlight of Frostmere, King Micah summons his most powerful friends to the throne room.

The Planeswalker Otto and the city's champion Karos arrive at the castle...

Continued from last Saturday.

When Otto arrives at the palace, Barlo Stanvik is waiting for him.

"I'm glad you could you come on such short notice," he says. "His Majesty will be so glad to see you after all this time."

"It's no problem, Barlo.  I'm glad to be here.  It's been way too long since we could catch up."

"I'm afraid there won't be much time for that.  I assume you know what's going on in Tersh. It's..."

"Yeah, yeah.  It's terrible.  On the other hand, it could be a lot worse. At least the deadies aren't attacking people, though."

Barlo frowned. "Please don't use the term 'deadies,' Otto.  It's uncouth."

"ppft." The planeswalker waves away the suggestion, "Where's Micah?"

"In the throne room. Karos is already here."

"Karos, huh?  I wonder why Micah would need us both."

"You can find out presently, sir.  Follow me."

------

In the throne room, King Micah sits deep in thought.  He is staring at a small piece of parchment in his hands.

"My Lord, Otto is here." said Barlo from the doorway.

Micah looks up, frowning.  "Thank you for coming, dear friend. I assume you know Karos?"

A man with short black hair and a long scar on the right side of his face nods to Otto. "We've met."

"Good.  I need you two to do something for me." He holds up the parchment. "I've received... interesting news. A man claims that he can help us relieve the curse that has befallen us, but he insists that we come to him." He frowns.

"Well, why aren't we on the road already?" Otto folds his arms.

"It's not that simple. This man, Tibalt, says he needs an item from our treasury to complete the spell. A very special item. Not one that I would give to just anyone."

"Ah, I see." Karos speaks up. "That's why we are here. You need your best to guard the item on its journey."

"Precisely. Marek's Keystone could be very dangerous in the wrong hands. It's up to you to make sure it is kept safe. Your destination is the Gargut Glacier. You leave at first light."

"How do we know this guy isn't up to something nefarious?" Otto raised an eyebrow.

"If he is, you will stop him. Our kingdom won't last if the dead keep on coming back. We have no other choice."

Card of the Day - Obliteration Blast

Are these effects in the right order?  Does the spite ability need to be first?

Card of the Day - Grand Entrance

It's been a while since I've been posting cards, and for that I apologize.  Here is my re-entry into the world of custom card design.  Let's see where this goes.

-O

Card of the Day - Reforestation

Here's a card that's been in my Frostmere file for most of it's life.  It is intended to be a plant for Hellfire, a set in which the devils like to sacrifice land to do some crazy stuff.  I looked at some Eldritch Moon spoilers and found that wizards made this card too.  So there's that.

Card of the Day - Celebratory Lightshow

Who doesn't love fireworks?

Card of the Day - Real Mad Frowns

People are real mad, guys. #paythepros

Card of the Day - Try to Remember

Card of the Day - Pyrefiend's Persuasion

Card of the Day - Lucky Break

Cards are inspired from myriad sources.  This one was inspired by a mash-up of Magic and Cards Against Humanity, where the question was: How did I lose my virginity?

Card of the Day - Primal Fury

Card of the Day - Seed the Land

Here's an example of what an Awaken card might do.  Awaken is my favorite mechanic of Battle for Zendikar so far.
