I thought it would be fun to start a diversion from brewing on our decks for the release of BFZ. This is a humorous thread and total time waster, but will be a blast and there is a real prize.
I'm donating a NM Nissa, Vastwood Seer from Magic Origins to the prize. Any one can donate to the prize. maybe we can have something awesome going!
Rules:
Take any powerful or well-known card previously printed from any set (except Unglued or Unhinged) and graft it to another from BFZ, combining the names in an identifiable fun way, and ability (s) from both that could be synergistic and totally broken (but logical).
The 2 cards can be of any types to make your card one of those types.
Art or flavor text not required.
Casting cost should be logical; ie "Ulamox. the Ceaseless Mana" can't cost 1
Creativity in naming is half the fun. Making the combined abilities fit together or compliment each other is also challenging.
Contest runs to Oct 2.
Winner(s) decided by total likes for your submission by the forum community, not me. mods, or WOTC.
One submission per person, posted in this thread.
if you can reference the 2 cards you're grafting with tags, since its likely some younger players have no idea what this card or that is, that would be great.
This is a humorous thread, have fun with your card, comments to submissions, discussion and replies
Mods: if this thread is inappropriate for this subforum, or at all, my apologies. This is just a fun idea I had to increase participation on the site, give something back to the community, and make our enjoyment of MTG and the site a little more. No ulterior motives. this is legit. I'll give away my only Nissa just to have some fun with everyone here
