In short, it's been a failure. For the first few months we had a decent level of participation and we featured some interesting cards. But in the past few months we've received an average of about three nominations and we're lucky if even one is up to the quality standards of the FCC winners. The idea of the new Card of the Month format was to give everyone the opportunity to be featured, not just FCC players, and to showcase the very best the forums had to offer. Clearly there just isn't enough interest, or members just don't think about Card of the Month when they see a great design.
Moss_Elemental and I have been discussing options, and I think we've come up with an idea of something new to try that people will like. I expect to have an announcement ready in a few days.

The Golden Rule of forums: If you're going to be rude, be right. If you might be wrong, be polite.
I dont know why but everyone seems all confused about the spellcharge thing. The way i see it is you exile the card, mark a creature you control with a designation of being spellcharged(do all that at sorcery speed), then when the spellcharged creature deals combat damage you pay the spellcharge cost and may play the exiled spell at instant speed. Thts just how it sounds to me. Let me know if im wrong though.
Ilyss is too complex to understand the card's benefits.
Plot feels like a complex version of dredge. Its less versatile in a way that it creates a new "zone" for itself, and versatile in a way that you can "Plot" cards without "plot" on it.
I like spell charge. Haunt meets imprint.
Spellcharge Cost : Choose target creature you control and exile this card. Play as a sorcery.
Whenever spellcharged creature deals damage to a player you may copy this spell. If you do, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.
You can even modify to different permanent types and allow for different conditions to trigger its copy.
put this into a deck with nothing but leviathins, search spells, and intruder alert. and islands. win.

plot is an awesome mechanic. I hope they pick it up. the fact that you deck yourself with exiled cards seem like a great balance. and can only play cards that target plotted card is probably easy to balance. gold star.
that sounds cool... but im confused, does it cast the spell and then charge a creature or if you charge the creature does it not cast the spell? And when it attacks it can be used each attack?
