You've accomplished much during your life. You worked hard, and you even obtained some renown. But there is one thing that always eluded you. Something you want more than anything else…
Little by little, you hear of a way to get your heart's desire. An off-handed remark, a faint whisper, a distant rumor – a picture begins to form, and it shows that what you crave might finally be within your reach. That is, if you're brave enough to take it. It's a gamble, but it might be the only way…
In this CCL you will have to go all in, and wager everything you have for a chance for the one thing you want the most.
On April 1st, the day of fools, you will embark on a journey many will call foolish indeed. You will wager all you have for a chance for what you've always wanted. Though it may be just a trick, you have no other option.
To signup, first you must design your avatar. Your avatar must be a legendary creature. You may choose any type, however, for flavor reasons, please do NOT choose an undead creature (i.e. zombie, skeleton, vampire, spirit, etc) for your Avatar, and please make sure your avatar is sentient.
Be advised, your avatar might affect your placement of team.
IMPORTANT: This CCL is going to be a return to form in terms of demands from players. The first three rounds will require you to design only one card each, but deadlines will be slightly stricter. Do sign up, it's a lot of fun. You can check my sig to find out the type of CCLs I do.
