I am going to try something and I don’t know how well it will be received. I want to start a “design your own card” thread and make it a continuous game. In the past, only one person was the judge and that made things un-fun for a lot of people.

So this is what I propose:

1.Week 1, someone post a design criteria, ex: design a creature that cost 1U with a tap ability
2.Week 1, anyone interested can submit a design
3.Week 2, voting takes place (since one cycle has been completely, please submit a vote for the PREVIOUS week when you make a submission for the current design criteria)
4.Week 2, tally up the votes and the winner
5.Week 3, the winner decides if he/she would like to host next week’s design, if so, he/she has a week to come up with the criteria, if not, the person with the next most votes will get to come up with the criteria
6.Week 4, new criteria are posted by the winner

Quirks:
a.In the event of a tie, the person who submitted their design first (time stamped) will be the winner
b.Each person must keep his/her own score
c.This is a democracy, so even if you believe the worse design wins, it doesn’t matter how much it doesn’t fit the color pie or whatever, the design with the most vote is the winner
d. ***Please vote for the best design even if you don't want to participate. This is a change to the rules, since please aren't really voting after they submit a card. I am now opening the votes to everyone that's a member. So even if you have no interest in the game, but you think someone has a good idea. You may vote for them!***
e.Any other suggestions are welcome since I want this to be a community group game and I by no means want to be the sole decision maker for this game
f.Things like how many cards you want to people to make, special ways you want people to score (0-10 scale for power while 0-5 scale for flavor, etc) or how many submissions each applicant can submit should be stated in each criteria

For the first couple of weeks, I will post a few criteria just to get the ball rolling until we have our first winner.

Week 1:
*End time: Midnight 8/31 – stamp time*
You may edit your post at any time before the End time, please don't submit more than one submission

Sword of X and Y
We currently have enemy color swords (fire and ice, light and shadow, ect). Make a sword with 2 allied colors, you may choose to use the existing format (+2/+2 and 2 abilities) or new design (ex: +3/+3 or even no +/+ at all). Any explanation would be useful

I really like some of the other designs, but due to power level/unfun factor such as continuous LD, I couldn't vote for them.

I actually like this idea. +1

Week 1 submission:

Sword of Pride and Prejudice {3}
Equipment

Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has protection from Green and from Red.

Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control and exile the top card of your library. You may play it this turn.

Equip {2}

Edit: whoops, forgot CMC of {3}. fixed.

Vote: Lord Crovax
Designing Swords is pretty difficult. I ended up flipping a coin between fluffycow and Lord Crovax. Most were way too powerful (daner) or not powerful enough. I'm enjoying this as much as I enjoyed yak's 3-card blind tournaments.

For this week, I would like for you to design 2 cards.

1. A planeswalker, any color, any cost, anything you want. You can make it a hybrid, flip card, heck even morph (you may want to include ruling if you are to try morph), it’s up to you!

2. Please finish the following card:
Cast cost : U
Type: Instant
Texting : _________ Draw 2 cards
or
Draw 2 cards __________
or
_________ draw 2 cards ____________

Example:
U
Instant
Draw 2 cards then any number of opponents may draw up to 3 cards

Or

U
Instant
If you control 5 islands, draw 2 cards.

Or

U
Instant
If an island attacked this turn, draw 2 cards. If not, a draw.

At the end of the round you will get 2 votes, one for each card. So the person with the greatest sum of his/her two cards is the winner.
