This months theme, in respect to this month's holiday, will be love or at least designing cards that inspire some sort of synergy, symbiosis, ect ect.
Each round will tackle a different kind of relationship; ranging from other cards to other players.
For the finals, it's time to design a Commander product! You will design the following cards:
-A general with a allied-pair color identity that clearly exemplifies the theme of your commander product.
-Another that can be used as a substitute general (so it plays into the same gameplan as the deck, but in a different way).
-A support card for your commander product
-A card that contains a new, multiplayer friendly mechanic
-A land card that fits into your new product.
-A card that can fit in ANY commander deck
Feel free to ask questions if your unsure about anything in the Discussion Thread
All of your cards are for the same commander deck, so they will all need to fit in your general's color identity.
Wow, I missed this entire thread until just now, as I was out of town all weekend. I'll see if I can manage something last minute here :P.
Good luck with that. I've seen it on day one and I've been working on it all this time. It's so freaking hard to come up with SIX cards like that.
Almost done though.
We can prolong the deadline if you need it, though.
