February will be Return month! Planar revisits have been some of Wizards' most popular sets in recent years. This month, you will be designing cards for a return to a plane that has yet to be revisited in a Magic set. Be wary of the design choices you make; the cards you design will influence your design limitations for future rounds this month.
Final Challenge:
Design two cards from your chosen plane:
1) A mythic rare card representing an event with plane-wide consequences.
2) Choose any one of your other cards previously submitted (from any round for the February CCL). Design a card that reflects how that card would change after the event depicted by your first submission this round has occurred.
The event does not necessarily need to be a physical reshaping of the plane - it can be something more subtle, but it must have an effect that transforms the entire plane. Examples of this include The Great Aurora (the event that transforms Lorwyn into Shadowmoor), Emrakul, the Aeons Torn (the invasion of the Eldrazi throughout Zendikar), and Conflux (the merging of the five shards of Alara).
Make sure to include a rarity.
PLEASE NOTE: This month will NO LONGER use the "mandatory top 3" rule. Critiques and top 3s will each be worth one bonus point per round but it will be possible to score points and advance even without submitting a top 3. This will also be done on a trial basis; future months may once again require top 3s from contestants.
Round 1 — Open to Everyone (Feb 1th-6th)
Round 2 — Open to Everyone (Feb 7th–12th)
Rounds 1 and 2 Critiques (Due Feb 15th)
Top 8 — Open to top 8 finishers (Feb 16th–19th)
Top 8 Critiques (Due Feb 23rd)]
Top 4 — Open to top 4 finishers from last round (Feb 24th–26th)
Top 4 Critiques (Due Mar 2)
Final (End of month, winner determined by public poll)
