Card of the Day - Overgrown Estate
I'm doing something a little unorthodox by showing you a card that already exists. The reason I'm showing you this card is because it is the setting of Roggara, the BGW wedge. Roggara is a pocket plane which consists of the above Overgrown Estate and not much else. The tiny plane is only one gigantic building which is, of course, both haunted and overgrown.

Card of the Day - Unbowed Brawler
If you don't remember Oppression as a keyword ability, you might not understand why this is an Arici card.

Card of the Day - Goldburst
Those of you familiar with the original Mirrodin set will recognize this as a less useful Shrapnel Blast. In fact, Shrapnel Blast is strictly better than Goldburst. That doesn't mean that this card wouldn't see play with the right support.

Card of the Day - Emperor Isba of Arici
Greed and oppression go well together. Gold tokens abound in Arici, and you can use them for more than just mana. The keyword ability Oppression is useful in creature stalemates.

Card of the Day - Arici Charm
A few years back, WOTC released the Shards of Alara set, in which five separate worlds, or "Shards" were put together in one set. Each of those shards had only three colors of mana available to them. For instance: Jund, the Red/Green/Black shard, was a place of brutal survival and dangerous predators.
I'm taking this concept a little further by introducing the 'Wedges" of something-or-other. Five distinct worlds that have only three colors of mana. The difference is that these worlds share a pair of allied colors and the color that is their common enemy.
The first of these is Arici, the White/Black/Red Wedge. This plane has a large city which is ruled by a devil masquerading as a human. Only a few people at the top know that their Emperor, Isba, is utterly evil. His corruption sinks into everything in the plane of Arici. If one were to spend a little time there, one would be hard-pressed to miss the fact that the lovely marble pillars are veined with something impure.
Tomorrow I will introduce you to the mechanics of Arici.

Card of the Day - Staff of Athreos
I'm kind of bummed that Born of the Gods didn't do the weapons of the gods. If Journey Into Nyx does, The Staff of Athreos might look something like this.

Card of the Day - Recruit
Here's a play on yesterday's card. I took off the creature part to make a mirror of Bitterblossom. Let me know what you think,

Card of the Day - Shift Alleigance
This was a tough one to cost correctly. I was very torn between RW, RU, and UW. I ultimately decided with RW because the exchange was fair (white) while really causing chaos (red). I feel like blue wouldn't use this card. There's no motivation for blue to swap something if it gains nothing. I also really like that this card does nothing in a two player game. Discuss.

Card of the Day - Faerie Wood
Edit: I know that land under the NWO is supposed to tap for mana. I just wanted to make something a little different. The Faerie Wood is an enchanted place, that's why it's a land. Here's an updated version, with more landlike abilities. (I also added land as a trigger, because it just feels right.)

Card of the Day - Ted Brautigan, Facilitator
In case you didn't know, the book "Hearts in Atlantis" (and therefore the subsequent movie) are a part of Stephen King's Dark Tower Universe. If you haven't seen the movie with Anthony Hopkins, I'd recommend it if you're a King fan.

Card of the Day - Explosive Reaction
This is my favorite design in a long time. This card is created especially for a multiplayer format, and it will end games a lot of the time.

Card of the Day - Rage Blast
This is inspired by the card Pinnacle of Rage from Born of the Gods. It's an upgraded version of that card.
