Hero's Demise
Nice guess on the pricing there, Clockwork Gamer
I don't have any particular issue with people writing "commander" on their cards, since Command Tower is given as an example, they just need to have a reason to do so, as Command Tower does. I just took a quick look and saw some reasonable designs using "commander" as well as some that took a broader look. There are not-so-great examples of both types as well.
I'm not sure why that would be. There are Spike, Johnny, Timmy, Vorthos, and I guess Melvin EDH decks (I probably have one of each at least). A card could easily appeal to a number of those psychographics within the EDH format. Plus, Potential is "Will the targeted player demographic find a use for this card?" so you don't have to target everyone anyway...?
Whoa, did I actually win last month? The card definitely could have been improved by being 2UB and dropping the ETB thing. My major takeaway from last month is that asking for "additional costs" on permanents is weird, although I know those were always optional. I liked the life theme though, that's a great sort of thing to build an MCC around.
I fixed June Round 1's deadlines, for some reason it said Saturday, June 5th and Wednesday, June 9th or something like that.
As for trophies, Rith, that was streamlined as part of introducing the Pro Tour, so that we give out 4 a year - one for each Pro Tour period and one for total Pro Points (player of the year), plus we still have the popular vote "Card Creator of the Year." If you have a compelling argument for some changes, visit the PT discussion thread and bring it up.
so just to be clear, any non-land must have "as an additional cost to cast ~, sacrifice a creature" or can it also be a "when ~ enter the battlefield" or something similar.
You said this was ok for the previous round, is this still in effect? "As an additional cost to cast ~" has only been used on permanents for Skaabs, the uncommon "reveal" tribal guys in Lorwyn, and for some unclear reason Caller of the Hunt. And I guess kicker probably counts. Anyway, just wondering if we are on strict "costs" this round or if ETB still qualifies.
"Additional" costs can't apply to anything other than casting, right?
So y'all want 3 extra stickies all the time? Ease of finding contests is the whole reason the colored thread tags were implemented here. We have a pretty large number of stickies in the first place with all of our discussion threads. Personally, my mental filter tends to skip the stickies when looking for threads I need to post in, and I just skim down the page looking for the next orange, pink, and green thread tags generally.
I can kick up a discussion thread among the mods, but I'm personally not in favor of increasing the number of stickies. We already have 6 static ones and rotate the YMTC threads, plus I usually stick the final CCL polls during their run.
Hey dudes, sorry I was late, finished April. Haven't done the math for the overall winner.
What does "activate an additional effect" mean for May? Does Fumarole qualify, or does this mean an activated ability? I don't get how it can be "required" but also be "additional."
Mildly difficult bonus points are my favorite thing in the MCC, I like seeing people who can think of reasonable ways around it and giving bad scores to people who make ludicrous cards just to get bonus points
I have a question I can't keep myself from asking. In your signature, why do you state the saying on you signature isn't a japanese one in japanese? Japanese people would know if it was japanese or not, and others wouldn't be able to read the statement below, except for some exceptions.
CrustaceanCrusader made my sig image (click for a link to the shop!) out of a still from some Japanese movie, a jiggernuts quote, and some Japanese text, I don't know where he found it.
I translate Japanese for a living (not in Japan any more) and also enjoy so it works pretty well.
Remember, this is a volunteer thing. The best thing you can do for the overall judging situation is to judge yourself whenever you can!
