-I'll give you a task, and each leaguer has 3.5 days to submit a card. (We have a deadline, so try to adhere to this.)
- Then, the round closes, and each of you will have 1.5 days to post a Top 3 and reviews (And I shall do my best to have the next round up every 5 days.)
- Each 1st place earns you 3 points, 2nd place earns 2 points and 3rd place earns 1 point
- Additionaly, each player who posts a review for at least half the cards gains 1 point. Anyone who submits a T3 within deadline also receives a point.
- At the end of the third round, we go to a Top 8, where each session becomes a 1 vs. 1 (or not, it can sometimes be a 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 battle royale ) elimination, until we have our champion.
- If you don't post a round, you're on probation. If you don't post again, I'm sorry, but you're out.
- We have a "No Review Penalty" which means that if you don't post a T3, you are on probation, just as if you didn't post a card. If you didn't have time to post your T3 in time, PM it to me and I'll remove the probation, no extra charge!
- We'll have 2 teams. Each team will review the other team's cards. After 3 rounds, we will have a T4 for each team (team A 1st will face Team B 4th, team B 1st will face team A 4th, and so on).
- Some rounds I will vary the teams and scoring policies. I'll do my best to inform everyone what those changes entail.
The CCL is among the more fun games on the MtGSalvation forums due to its inherent aspect of interactivity among the Leaguers (that’s you). We actively critique each other’s card designs at the end of each round, putting a more personal interest into our cards and generally making us all better designers. Typically, we build worlds more complete than many games, as each round builds on the designs and ideas of previous rounds in the month. The CCL allows for Leaguers to plumb the depths of creativity, as the point schedule aspect allows for three full rounds without fear of elimination.
Schedule
The CCL will run six rounds, each lasting five days.
Rounds 1, 2 & 3 will be free-for-alls with each leaguer fighting for the most points during critiques. At the beginning of each of these rounds. The host will divide the league members evenly into two teams and each team will be assigned their design challenge. At the challenge deadline, the round will elapse into the critique section (see Critiques below). Once the critique section ends, the host will tally points and post the next round. Team rosters are likely to change between rounds; the new rosters will be included in the initial posting for the next round.
Each round will last five days: 3.5 to finalize designs, 1.5 for critiques.
The schedule will usually operate according to US Easter time zone (GMT -5) We will stick to this schedule as closely as possible, adjusting as necessary.
Challenge Rounds
At the start of each round, the host will post the challenge for the round. This may be, at the host’s discretion, a single challenge for all leaguers, a list for each leaguer to choose from, challenges assigned to each leaguer, or other challenge variation.
Each Leaguer will post his/her entry by the deadline, 3.5 days after the round is posted.
Critique Rounds
At the end of each challenge round, the host, or an individual the host designates, will officially close the round and open the forum for critiques. After this point, modifying the post containing your entry for the round will incur penalties (see Penalties section).
Each Leaguer will thoroughly critique at least 50% of the entries given by the leaguers on the other team.
In addition to the critiques, each Leaguer generates his/her list of the Top 3 entries for the round. The Top 3 listings are the chief source of points within the CCL and are therefore required to complete. Even if critiques are not completed, Top 3’s must be listed to avoid penalties (see Penalties for penalty schedule). Regardless of the cards actually critiqued by a given Leaguer, Top 3’s can be drawn from any valid entry of the round. Submitting Top 3’s grants one point.
A valid critique does not need to be lengthy. A few constructive sentences will do as long as they are meaningful. Neither “Hated it,” “Too expensive,” nor “Bahhrokken!!!” are valid critiques.
Example: The following card is submitted by Fitzgerald:
A few decent critics:
from Tiberius: Templating issue with “nonpermanent card,” it's confusing and should just read “instant or sorcery card.” And the cost seems steep: I’m giving up a mana, a card, and immediate access to the card I looked for. Creative, but not bad.
from Wilhelmina: I hate the name. Also the shuffle part should be right after removing the tutored card instead of on a separate line. Seems powerful as an instant, play it on the opponents turn and you get basically a free draw, but you get to pick it.
from Beauregard: A bit complicated for uncommon. It doesn’t go to microtext on a render (sans flavor text) but it still isn’t all that intuitive.
Valid Entry Constitution
A valid entry in a given round cleanly delivers all required components of the challenge. The CCL is based around card design, so each challenge will direct Leaguers to design one or more cards, but other components may be given according to the judge’s discretion. Historically, these non-card components have included such things as keyword mechanic designs, story pieces, and various ideas for the judge to incorporate into later rounds. Include only what is described by the challenge requirements, as superfluous items may sway judgings unfairly and will incur penalties.
It is customary to include card renders in entries. This is not required. Some Leaguers may not have access to render design software and therefore will not be penalized for posting an entry without a render. However, it must be understood that a proper render is easier to judge/critique as it is more pleasing to the eye, more memorable and allows for Leaguers to judge the card by its wordiness, a very important aspect of a card’s design. Common rendering software used include Magic Set Editor (free program, the standard that most amateur designers use), PhotoShop (not free), and GIMP (free PhotoShop knockoff).
Scoring
The bulk of available points will be derived from Top 3 listings, as is League custom. Within each Top 3 listing, the choice for 1st place will be awarded 3 points, the choice for 2nd place will receive 2 points, and the choice for 3rd place will receive 1 point. It is common for Leaguers to post an Honorable Mention or two along with their T3 listings. Honorable Mentions are not awarded points. Posting T3s is required and awards one point for completion of the requirements. There are penalties for failure to post T3s (see Penalties section).
Critiques are an optional aspect of the CCL, therefore no penalties are given for failure to complete critiques. Any Leaguer completing critiques for at least 50% of the other team's entries will receive 1 bonus point. An additional point will be awarded if a Leaguer critiques all valid entries in the round.
As noted in the section on Valid Entry Constitution, entries are encouraged to contain proper card renders. Some Leaguers may not have access to render design software and will not be penalized for posting an entry without a render.
Penalties
Failure to post Top 3s as required during the Critique section of any round will put a Leaguer on probation. While on probation, failure to post an Top 3 in any later round will disqualify that Leaguer for the remainder of the month.
Once a Round elapses into its critique section, any Leaguer modifying their entry after any leaguer has posted a critique, will be disqualified for the round.
Failure to post an entry within the Challenge round will put a Leaguer on probation. While on probation, failure to post an entry in any later round will disqualify that Leaguer for the remainder of the month.

August CCL- Prelude: Last Minute Preperations
They say anything that can go wrong, would go wrong. This time, they were right. Nothing went as planned. From the start, we knew that the only chance for our plan to succeed at all is for us to move outside of our own place, and make use of an even older mistake made long, long ago. We didn't have time to think of anything else. The fates made it so that all of our preperations were made in haste.
The results were... unexpected.
We're sorry.
Should you chose to venture into the unknown chaos and test your might in this new challenge, you may do so by posting here and choosing your champion, or "avatar".
Your Avatar should be a legendary creature from one of the new planes shown to us since 8th Edition: Mirrodin, Kamigawa, Ravinka, Lorwyn, Shadowmoor and of course Alara (or any shard of it). Your avatar must showcase the flavour and at least one of the themes of their home plane. For flavour reasons, please make sure your avatar is a sentient lifeform.

From Kamigawa Also, nice to see so many Kamigawanites here; it seems that despite being a flop in power level, Kamigawa is one of the most liked planes.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.

Gub 1BRG
Legendary Creature - Goblin Mutant
Whenever a player sacrifices a creature, put a +1/+1 counter on Gub.
Whenever Gub blocks a creature with power less than it, that creature’s controller sacrifices it and you may put a +1/+1 counter on Gub.

2/2
I'm slightly surprised there are hardly any enties from Lorwyn, Shadowmoor or Ravinka. It won't affect the game, but in my mind I thought these will be the most popular.
Edit: I've also noticed that it's not clear with all the entries which plane the are from. As this could be important, please write down which plane you chose on your post.

Legendary Creature - Shapeshifter
Changeling
At the beginning of each upkeep, choose a creature type. Until end of turn, Vela of Velis Vel gains protection from the chosen creature type and its power and toughness each become equal to the number of permanents of the chosen type on the battlefield.
1/1
From Lorwyn, obviously.
