Congratulations to [The Crafters] for winning Clan Contest 3 2012: Custom Card Creation!
Thanks for participating, and I hope you all had fun
Notes on scores:
1. I am missing some scores. However, all five clans that participated in all three rounds submitted scores for each round, and I am using those scores alone to determine the placing.
2. I hadn't planned on revealing the scores. Some clans gave critiques, others did not, and throwing out the numbers isn't super important. If the Clan Council wants, I can throw my score spreadsheet up on a google doc pretty easily, though.

Can we have Megiddo removed from the forum forever please?
i'm pretty sure i can find your ***** online within 3 minutes
Um, so, I've got a bit of egg on my face right now!
While tinkering with my PMs I accidentally deleted all of the R1 judgings from my inbox! Terrible, I know. I do apologize, but I'd like to request that the participating clans resubmit just the judgings for R1 along with their R3 entry and R2 judgings.
I was hoping I could run the contest without a hitch, but these things happen.
Sorry again!

Welcome to the third Clan Contest of 2012, Custom Card Creation! Over the next few weeks, we'll be designing cards based on the most recently completed block, Innistrad. Our theme? Double Faced Cards.
The contest will take place over three rounds, which will be unveiled as we progress. Each round will have a deadline of two weeks. Judging will occur concurrently with the rounds, that is, the prompt for round two will go up at the same time as the judging period for round one, with the same deadline of two weeks.
For the judging phase, each participating clan must fill out the attached rubric for each other entry. At bare minimum, your clan should provide a three number score. That said, comments are always appreciated, as custom card creators love constructive criticism.
The deadline for the current round is Friday, September 7th, at Midnight EST.
Please submit all entries and judgings to me via PM with the subject line: "Clan Contest 3: [Clan Name]'s Round 3 judgings"
Below are the round prompts, the judging rubric, and the suggested formatting for cards.
Make a Werewolf
This round, we're keeping it simple. The double faced card concept was created as the answer to the question, "How do we make werewolves awesome?" We saw the answer in Innistrad block, but surely there's more design space to be explored?
Requirements:
1. Your card must be a double faced card.
2. Your card must have the creature type Werewolf on both sides.
Anything else is up to you!

4/5
Make a non-Werewolf DFC
My favorite part about Innistrad was that there were no humanoid races like elves or goblins—just humans and former humans. DFCs provided a sort-of elegant way to model that on a card. This round, I want to see your take on the "former human" concept.
Requirements:
1. Your card must be a double faced card.
2. Your card must be a Human on the unflipped side.
3. Your card cannot be a Werewolf on either side.

4/4
Balance/Mechanics /10
Is the card printable? Is it too powerful? Not good enough? Look at the card from the perspective of 60-,100-, and 40-card formats. Would you play with it?
Innovation/Creativity of Mechanics /10
Forge new ground! Nobody likes to see the same old thing rehashed over and over. We aren't looking for whacky, off-the-wall stuff, but at the same time we'd like to see that dash of creativity that makes your card unique. Does it make you say "cool!"?
Flavor/Card Concept /10
There are several clans that put flavor first with card designs, and I want to give them a nod here. Is the concept of the card evocative? Is the flavor text (there's not much room on a DFC usually) well-written? How about the name? Does the card draw you in with its flavor?
For readability, I suggest formatting your cards in the following way:
Gatstaf Shepherd1G
Creature — Human Werewolf {U}
At the beginning of each upkeep, if no spells were cast last turn, transform Gatstaf Shepherd. "What is worse than a wolf in sheep's clothing?"
—Wolfhunter's riddle

Well, almost. It's time to rank the round three entries. You have one week.
I did not receive an entry from [Tolarian Academy] by the deadline.
If you did not resend me your clan's round 1 ratings, your clan rep should be expecting a PM from me.
I also have all of the scores safely in an excel spreadsheet, so barring any REALLY unfortunate circumstances we should be good to go
While tinkering with my PMs I accidentally deleted all of the R1 judgings from my inbox! Terrible, I know. I do apologize, but I'd like to request that the participating clans resubmit just the judgings for R1 along with their R3 entry and R2 judgings.

Requirements:
1. Your card must be a double faced card.
2. Your card cannot be a creature on both sides.

4/4
Is the card printable? Is it too powerful? Not good enough? Look at the card from the perspective of 60-,100-, and 40-card formats. Would you play with it?
Innovation/Creativity of Mechanics /10
Forge new ground! Nobody likes to see the same old thing rehashed over and over. We aren't looking for whacky, off-the-wall stuff, but at the same time we'd like to see that dash of creativity that makes your card unique. Does it make you say "cool!"?
Flavor/Card Concept /10
There are several clans that put flavor first with card designs, and I want to give them a nod here. Is the concept of the card evocative? Is the flavor text (there's not much room on a DFC usually) well-written? How about the name? Does the card draw you in with its flavor?
