    Standard Deck Creation Forum Rules
    In addition to these rules, please read the General Forum Rules, which apply here as well. Violations of the forum rules will result in warnings or infractions.
    1. If you want to post a new thread in this forum, please check and make sure there isn't already a thread on the same topic. If you're unsure, please go ahead and ask.
    2. Only moderators can add the [Official]-tag to a deck thread. Decks without the [Official]-tag will be archived after about a month of no new posts.
    3. Discussion of spoiled cards just before rotation must be confined to the Standard New Card Discussion subforum. New sets are okay to discuss in the rest of the Standard forum the moment Wizards has published the entire spoiler. Post-rotation discussion is also not permitted until the new block has been fully spoiled.
    4. Functional deck tags are required. This thread explains how to use deck/card tags.
      • Do not copy and paste deck lists from MWS, as they do not work within deck tags.
    5. You are more than welcome to necro old threads in this forum.
    If you have questions, concerns or comments regarding these rules, or anything related to how the Standard forum is run, please post them in the "Standard Forum Discussion & Helpdesk"-thread, or message them to one of the Standard Forum moderators.

    Happy posting!

    August MCC 2018 Round 4 - Activate

    This month we will be messing with different abilities

    Main Challenge: Design a card with two or more activated abilities
    Subchallenge 1: One ability activates from the hand.
    Subchallenge 2: One ability activates from the graveyard.


    If you have questions about the challenge, please post in the MCC discussion thread. Best of luck!


    None yet.

    Design Deadline: All submissions are to be final and submitted by September 5th 11:59 PM EST

    Judging Deadline: All judgements are to be final and completed by September 8th 11:59 PM EST

    Design -
    (X/3) Appeal: Do the different player psychographics (Timmy/Johhny/Spike) have a use for the card?
    (X/3) Elegance: Is the card easily understandable at a glance? Do all the flavor and mechanics combined as a whole make sense?

    Development -
    (X/3) Viability: How well does the card fit into the color wheel? Does it break or bend the rules of the game? Is it the appropriate rarity?
    (X/3) Balance: Does the card have a power level appropriate for contemporary constructed/limited environments without breaking them? Does it play well in casual and multiplayer formats? Does it create or fit into a deck/archetype? Does it create an oppressive environment?

    Creativity -
    (X/3) Uniqueness: Has a card like this ever been printed before? Does it use new mechanics, ideas, or design space? Does it combine old ideas in a new way? Overall, does it feel “fresh”?
    (X/3) Flavor: Does the name seem realistic for a card? Does the flavor text sound professional? Do all the flavor elements synch together to please Vorthos players?

    Polish -
    (X/3) Quality: Points deducted for incorrect spelling, grammar, and templating.
    (X/2) *Main Challenge: Was the main challenge satisfied? Was it approached in a unique or interesting way? Does the card fit the intent of the challenge?
    (X/2) Subchallenges: One point awarded per satisfied subchallenge condition.

    Total: X/25
    *An entry with 0 points here is subject to disqualification.

    Judges:
    Koopa
    Gerrard's Mom
    Antiantiserum

    Contestants:
    netn10
    RaikouRider
    Hemlock


    A helpful tip for those formatting their cards:
    Quote from bravelion83 »
    A reminder to everyone:
    In the MCC, putting rarity on cards is mandatory! If you don't put a rarity on your card, expect huge deductions in both Viability AND Quality.
    Also, you should format your text cards accordingly to the forum rules (see the "this formatting looks best" spoiler in the linked OP). Again, expect deductions in Quality otherwise.

    Random card is Talon Sliver

    Renin, Savior of Species 4W
    Legendary Creature - Human Hero (R)
    As Renin enters the battlefield, choose a creature type.
    Other creatures you control of the chosen type are indestructable.
    "All life is precious."

    Lenix Stormcaller 2RR
    Legendary Creature - Human Wizard (MR)
    Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell that targets only a single opponent, copy that spell for each other opponent the spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those opponents.
    Lightning doesn't discriminate.
    2/2

    NOTE: I had this in a minute before the deadline!!

    Dustdweller 6
    Creature - Eldrazi (U)
    Dustdweller enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter for each C spent to cast it.
    One of the few remaining after the Titanfall, it nourishes itself by feasting on the blight left my Ulamog.
    4/4
