Card of the Day - Give Thanks

In the US, we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.  It is my favorite holiday for two reasons: 1) everyone is supposed to be nice to each other for the whole day, and 2) I get to eat turkey.  A lot of turkey.  Cause that's what the pilgrims ate.  Booyah.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

Back in business!

Hey guys, thanks for commenting on my cards this month!  I'll be going back and commenting on your comments today, as I finally have internets in my new apartment. 

Card Design Show-off Art #3

I'm so glad that so many of you participated in the design challenge!  This post is to show off all your hard work!  The art we used was this:

Now here are all of the submissions that I received:

First, we have the entry by onlyobsessed.  She's new to the game and doesn't understand exact wordings, so I helped her out with that.  Overall, a cool card with a unique drawback that could see play in many a Commander deck.  Great job!

The second entry was from Brendan W.  This is a very powerful token producer!  The wording is a bit off, but we all know what it's supposed to say.  The three mana version of this is in AVR, and it's good!

This entry is from @wobbles on twitter.  I like this a lot!  It seems like it's highly costed, but it's actually very well balanced.  I'm just not sure if it needs to exile itself.

Pasteur's entry is the most unique in that it uses a part of the original art that is not in the foreground.  The design of this card forces opponents to play lands after combat, which could be detrimental to their strategy.

Last but not least, we have Chimzar's entry.  This one has a Karn, Liberated feel to it, but more symmetrical in that all players get to keep one card from the previous game.  I like it! You can check out more of his designs at Bob's Cards.

I'll put mine up too.  Explantion is here.


Thanks again for playing!  I love how we can all come up with vastly different cards based on one piece of art.

If any of you want to join the site and post your own content, let me know!  I'd like to work with some other amateur designers and see what we can come up with together.

Regarding Feedback

Today has been a good day for feedback!  I want to thank everyone who's been posting on here and urge you to keep doing it!  I am changing the settings so that posters have to register, but it's only because I've been getting a lot of Anonymous posts. 

Also:  I love getting criticisms on my designs, but please post a variation that you think is better!  We can work together to improve our designs.  

Thank you all again for posting.

Olaf.
