Custom Card creation finds a new challenge: The Block Challenge.
In this challenge, we will create a custom set, including a visual spoiler in cooperation with the artwork forum. You can join the challenge at any time.
You may also compete in half the challenge, either thinking of card texts or just supplying arts.
Each round consists of roughly two parts:
- The card text round, where the card text is created. This round will happen in the Custom Card contest forum. Then a poll will decide which text is the best. The winning card makes it into the set.
- The card flavor round, where the flavor of the card is tweaked. This round will happen in the Artwork Contest forum. A piece of art is chosen, or custom made, to match the winning card from the text round. Card title, flavor text and by exception things like a creature type may be tweaked to match the art. The flavored cards will then reenter the competition.
Timing
Each card text round will be open for 2-3 days. Then a poll is created, where anyone can vote for the best card text. At this time a new text card assignment is released. The poll will also be open for 2-3 days.
So after about 5 days, a new thread will open in the artwork forum called [BC] Card Flavor Round X.
In that thread you may post a tweaked version of the card including 'final' card name, flavor text and a piece of art, which can be from the public art batch. This will also result in a poll to vote for the best flavored card.
I will try to combine polls and new assignments, so the forums won't get flooded. More clear specifications will be released in the upcoming topics.
Round 1
The first assignment is: Create a french vanilla creature with a custom keyword.
This creature has only one ability, which is created by you. This can be something like Goblinblocker (this can only block goblin creatures) to Vampirism (When this deals damage, put that many +1/+1 counters on this)
You have three days, just to get used to the thread.
Everybody have fun!
Just post a card to enter the challenge. In this case, a post would look like this:

Creature - Goblin (c)
Goblinblocker (this can only block goblin creatures)
