    Votes: netn10, indighost (sorry, the other cards here are just too unbalanced, too ridiculous, or simply too snowbally for my taste)

    Jerrard, Last of the Closed Fist 3RW
    Legendary Creature — Human Knight (R)
    First strike, vigilance
    Whenever Jerrard, Last of the Closed Fist attacks or blocks alone, it gets +3/+3 until end of turn.
    Depite the order nearly gone, Jerrard marches on for future generations.
    5/3

    posted a message on MTG.Design (Beta)
    I’ve since added planeswalkers, custom set symbols, tokens, promo cards, faux foils, updated legendary frames and flavor bar, energy symbols, and some DFCs with more coming soon. I have fixed a litany of bugs and significantly improved rendering performance. I’ve added Cockatrice exporting and Planesculptor exporting, the latter of which allows you to draft your own custom sets with others online.

    Despite all this, I’m busy working on a UI and engine re-write, and will be dropping the beta tag sometime later this year. Sagas, Eldrazi support, full art lands, the remaining DFCs and an MSE import feature are all planned ahead.

    Alright, want more sample cards? I know you do.












    I have been slowly adding in features to the renderer and the site. I still consider things in Beta — I am missing some card types, such as Planewalkers and some colorshifted/night templates, but if you’d like to give it a spin, feel free.

    posted a message on [Card Creation League] CCL Discussion Thread
    Hey,

    I haven’t hung around here much lately, but what intrigued me to participate originally, and later host, was the ease of participation. The contest is laid back, the themes are generally fun, and it’s quick to submit an entry. Please don’t ever change any of that. 👍🏼

    @kjsharp, I think you’re right about asking for more Top 3’s. Fortunately while I was hosting it was rarely an issue. A Top 3 is really one of the easiest points to get, so it surprises me people haven’t submit more. That being said, I do believe that sometimes deadlines can be missed when real life kicks in, and I would feel absolutely horrible if the best design didn’t advance because they simply missed a Top 3.

    If the CCL taught me anything, it’s that it’s really a contest with yourself — it’s actually a mastery of timing. To help with this, later rounds I directly messaged participants to remind them they got in and get them to post. (I don’t know, maybe that served those months well?)

    In any case… my goodness your posts here came off quite combative. I think it’s great getting new blood, and new ideas, but can you turn some of your passion into a more friendly manner next time? If people are being belligerent this will only turn others away and have the opposite effect: less participation.

    As long as the environment remains positive and courteous around here (we are human, after all, people make mistakes) I will try to participate. But if things turn sour, I’m not going to stick around.

    Trick or Treat   3BB
    Sorcery   (R)
    Strive — Treat or Treat requires an additional cost of tapping two untapped creatures you control for each target beyond the first.
    Any number of target opponents look at the top two cards of their library, exile one and put the other on the bottom of their library. You may cast any non-land cards exiled this way without paying their mana costs. Any opponent who exiles a land this way loses 5 life.
    Once a year, hordes of children are “Orzhov for a day” as they join in the Church’s most hallowed tradition: extortion.

    Abyssal Gourmand   2BB
    Creature — Demon Advisor   (U)
    When Abyssal Gourmand enters play, each opponent gets a candy counter. (Candy counters must be represented with edible candy if possible. Any eaten candy counters are lost.)
    Whenever an opponent with a candy counter eats something for the first time each turn, draw a card.
    His temptations walk a fine line between diabolic and diabetic
    3/3

    Maruko, Wearer of Faces   2BBB
    Legendary Creature — Demon Spirit   (M)
    Whenever a creature would die, exile it instead.
    When Maruko attacks, creatures that share a type with a card exiled by Maruko can’t block.
    Miko thought she would never see her lost love’s sweet face again. She was so terribly, terribly, wrong.
    6/5

    Betrayal of the Damned   3BBRR
    Sorcery   (M)
    Start a new combat phase and return all creatures from all graveyards to play tapped and attacking their owners (This includes you. You may attack with additional creatures.)
    At the end of combat, exile all creatures that entered the battlefield this way and there is an additional main phase.
    “How deliciously arrogant! You summon them to die for you, yet think they wouldn't hold a grudge?”
    —The Raven Man



    Legend

    Trick or Treat   1WB
    Enchantment   (U)
    As Trick or Treat enters the battlefield, choose Trick or Treat.
    • Trick — At the beginning of your upkeep, gain control of a Candy token an opponent controls.
    • Treat — At the beginning of your upkeep, create a Candy enchantment token that is all colors.
    Candy Man   2R
    Creature — Human Artificer   (C)
    When Candy Man enters the battlefield, create a Candy enchantment token that is all colors.
    Sacrifice an enchantment: Target creature becomes the colors and creature types of your choice.
    1/1

    Phasm   1BB
    Creature — Spirit   (R)
    Flying
    Whenever Phantasm attacks, each player sacrifices a creature.
    3/3

    Stroke of Midnight   2BB
    Sorcery   (R)
    Put all creature cards from all graveyards onto the battlefield under your control.
    Sacrifice all creatures you control at the beginning of your next turn.
