@Necro, can I get the wording on the Clan Contest cards? I also have some suggestions.
-Dayside, 'odd' space between the 2 ability and the 3rd? Might just be me.
-Token, can the image be shifted to the right. So the art is more centered? Doesn't need to neceassrily be about the person AND the sword. The sword is its own card.
-Nightside. Can we switch 'equipping' and 'only be equipped to' and use 'attached'? Reference: Konda's Banner. And some re-wording.
So it reads as follows:
--------------
"Whenever this card transforms into Blade of the Lost, if a creature named [BLAH] is on the battlefield, attach Blade of the Lost to it.
Blade of the Lost can be attached only to Knights.
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has [BLAH, BLAH, and BLAH]
My meta is dominated by Mono Black Control decks that abuse Trading Post. However they are doing it wrong (they are return the same artifact creature they sacrifice which is NOT how the rules permit. But that's beyond the point). I'll be looking for more Missteps and Surgical Extractions to replace the Redirects in my SB and beyond that, the deck is tuned to my meta. Gut Shots didn't make it because the only deck(s) out of 20 those would probably be useful for would be BantPod (with Pilgrim and BoP) or the Infect deck with Glistener Elf. And it just doesn't fit with my play style. Maybe if I get crushed by those decks I'll learn my lesson but I"ll be ignorant for now.
But the deck 'should' play as it's listed. Get dudes on the field, don't overextend, counter the big stuff. Bounce **** in the way. Drop an equip for cheap with the Architects. Have them pump Talrnad's drakes when/if he comes out. And metamorphs to copy legends, architects or one of the swords. My gold fishing play tests left me running out of gas so I dumped some Think Twices in there. See how that plays out.
Sideboard: Batterskull for the lifegain and big beats if my opp is slow. Spellskites for the targetted hate and for infect pumps/auras and GoST Spectral Flight. Need more Missteps but I'll probably sub that out for another Skite. Negates if Snags are useless. Redirect cuz they are hilarious. Steel Sabotage against Wurmcoil, Simulacrum, Pristine Talisman, and Trading Post.
Technically, the entry was do last night before midnight, est (august 31, Midnight was like 9.6 hours ago).
It's not a big deal, though. Many other clans have entered without cards.
Still not home. Getting all our stuff together, and will be home soon.

Technically, I agree I with you. Although I think the intent was for the deadline to be 11:59 pm tonight (8/31). Last time on Friday night and of the month. that's how I saw it.
But it has said that the deadline was early this morning. So I waited until 11:59 and sent it.
I can ask if we can resubmit with our cards if he indeed did mean tonight at 11:59. As it is, the images are not completed. So as I am not home yet, so Necropsy or someone else would need to fix the image asap.
Edz:
I have pmd Meg. In the meantime, someone needs to fix the wording according to Aquajolt's post. If we can resubmit, i'd like to have the images ready in a timely fashion.

Shouldn't be a problem. I can do a late night fix if it comes to that, but Necro has the pics and template, so I'll wait till he moves in. I'll back him up if it comes to that.
@Aquajolt, he'll likely poke his head in soon with the rewrites:)
I am going to try and enjoy this beautiful day with my family, (trying not to stress out about this). Once the final images are created, someone pm me them please:)
@JKM, I'd have to see the finish product to really critique. Draft looks nice, but the black spots (the void!) irk me.
And just my preference, but I'd take out Shadowmage. He technically dimir! Just my opinion.
I like the font on the banner. The 2nd pic font says "Creepy Crawlers" and/or Goosebumps. First pic font > 2nd pic font.
Looking forward to seeing a finished product!
@Xander, welcome back to the clan! If something doesn't exist, it can't exactly go away:) When I was first requesting sigs, I asked them to be like yours. Noone knew what I was talking about, though, lol.
I'm Digi, and hope to see you stick around and jump into the conversations.
@Jivan, far too far. We have two lined up when this one is finished, but the way things work, we'll be done with both by then.
I suppose the bomb rare will do something cool with it I guess. Like be able to deal damage to an attacking creature equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on it or something. Or make your opponent discard equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on it. Or maybe as long as it can't block it's unblockable (although that seems more Dimir in nature) but I dunno.
Placed 3rd at the FNM tonight, M13 draft. Stupid tiebreakers, should've had 2nd Drafted a cool WB Aggro deck though.

I agree with Digi, this mechanic is terribad.
it's like, wee I can make bigger guys, but they won't be able to block
wooo whooo.
I'm thoroughly unexcited.
I was hoping it was a Number, in which case it would have been good. For example, if that creature could be a 3/3 or a 3/2 when it came into play, it would be good, possibly even playable.
but a 2/2 for 2 that can't block? No thanks. I like my Grizzly Bears being able to block.

@Macius, I see what you're saying, but just look at it on paper. On paper, Undying kicks Unleash's booty. I will wait to pass severe judgement, though. I will also point out, that on paper without other knowlege, Undying also kicks Persist's butt, and we all know that to be untrue.
I just don't see how this will be helpful. If it does become viable through some weird thing, it will only promote the "stale standard" envirnment that they say they are trying to shift away from. We will see...
@Yanni, I agree about the Unleash #. I can instantly see viability there.
@Krackshot, that is nice, but it's boring. We'll see what they give us.
If I don't get these updated card by 11:50pm est, I will just use the ones we have.
The only situatino where I see this being useful is if you're an aggro deck that needs to go on the defensive for some reason, so you make a small chumper.
other than that, I just don't see it.
This is also worse than Undying.
it's like "okay I guess I can make my 1/1 bigger... why don't I just play something good?"

That would be fantastic. But it still promotes that "stale standard". Furthermore, in Goblins, it would promote the same envirnment in other formats as well. I want some wider variation.
It doesn't really matter, as I will continue to happily play regardless of what's printed.
@Aquajolt, you coming through with the fixed cards?
<20 away from sending what we have.
Hope it's not too late! I had to change around some text (can't remember what it was) to address a design issue but it's fixed now!
[EDIT] Yanni, is that offer still up? I'll eat one, and pay for shipping of the card o.o
goddamnit ajacobik
oh man, I don't remember what thread that was but... glorious times.
