Could be something to do with the due date confusion for round 2. The post says crits end tonight, not last night.

I posted/fixed it both here and in round two, so I have no clue whats up with them.

Team Aggro

Round 1
Round 2

Rare Reprint: Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant

Rare Commander:
Question: What should you do if your original commander is mono-colored?

Equipment:
Crescent Shield
Artifact - Equipment (U)
Equipped creature has ":symtap:: Prevent the next 2 damage that would be dealt this turn to any number of target creatures and/or players, divided as you choose.
As long as equipped creature is legendary, whenever a spell or ability you control prevents damage, you gain that much life.
Equip

A mono-colored legendary.

Quote from void_nothing

Uhhhh. That's... restrictive, given the absolute number of mythics vs. rares in the game. Could it be rare OR mythic?

I'm gonna say it has to be a mythic not to be a jerk, but to keep the complexity of the challenge by giving a smaller pool of cards to choose from. Plus, there are still a good amount of mythics. Good luck, guys!

I wrote this really late last night, so here are the specs for your rare legend:

Rare legend color(s) specification:
If your commander has 1 color, your legend is one color, no more, no less
If your commander is 2 colors, your legend is one color, no more, no less
If your commander is 3 colors, your legend is two colors, no more, no less
If your commander is 4 colors, your legend is three colors, no more, no less
If your commander is 5 colors, your legend is four colors no more, no less

Also, since I wrote round three really late last night, a couple verifications for the rare legend:
Colors
If your commander has 1 color, your legend is one color, no more, no less
If your commander is 2 colors, your legend is one color, no more, no less
If your commander is 3 colors, your legend is two colors, no more, no less
If your commander is 4 colors, your legend is three colors, no more, no less
If your commander is 5 colors, your legend is four colors no more, no less

Sorry guys, I made a typo. The reprint with no restrictions needs to be a mythic rare. Sorry for the mix-up.

What happened to Team Aggro? Only 1 posted critiques for round 2 so far. Also I'm a little confused about what's being asked of us for round 3, so you want another reprint that has to be rare but no other restrictions, an equipment with the word "legendary" in the card text and "a rare commander" (new legendary creature?) "that has a color identity of only two colors out of your commanders three" (maximum of 2 colors?)

I can't speak for team aggro. You are spot on about the new challenge, but the color identity is a minimum and maximum of two of your commanders colors.

Quote from L0ng5h0t

As for the rare reprint, can I use a card from Theros, or does it need to be a card that's actually already been printed

I personally wouldn't, but you can if you want to. It isn't against the rules. Make sure it has awesome synergy with your commander.

Also:
The reprint should be a mythic. I made a typo.

Critiques are now over. Round 3 will be up shortly.

Oops. Everyone has another day, but the round three deadlines won't change.

Quote from Raikou Rider

According to your deadline, critique time isn't over yet. We should still have all of today.

Ok, I'll fix it. Dates will stay the same for round three, though.

This month's focus is designing cards for the commander format. As previously dictated, you are on the design team for a new pre-constructed commander deck.

This is the last round before top 8 is decided.

Pleased so far, you are asked to continue with your commander deck design. You are asked to choose a mythic rare to reprint, with no restrictions, as long as it fits in the decks color identity and has synergy with the deck so far. You are also asked to create a rare commander (specifications below). You are also asked to create an equipment card with the word legendary in the text box.

Rare legend color(s) specification:
If your commander has 1 color, your legend is one color, no more, no less
If your commander is 2 colors, your legend is one color, no more, no less
If your commander is 3 colors, your legend is two colors, no more, no less
If your commander is 4 colors, your legend is three colors, no more, no less
If your commander is 5 colors, your legend is four colors no more, no less

Teams:

Round 3 Entries are due Sunday, September 15 at 11:59 p.m. est before Sunday becomes monday.
Round 3 Critiques are due Monday, September 23 at 11:59 p.m. before Monday becomes Tuesday.

Quote from Ink-Treader

One last question good sir: I presume a colorless card would be considered to be within a commander's color identity?

Yes, it is.

Split the Seas U
Instant (U)
Return an untapped island you control to its owners hand, then add UU to your mana pool.

Quote from Ink-Treader

For the second card, I presume it must also go well with your commander's theme/strategy?

Of course.

Yes.
