Well, going in reverse order, I originally was going to make Visage of Hope a 4/4 flyer in addition to its other stuff, but then I realized that I was totally obsoleting Lightning Angel in doing so.
I think I need to rework Crumbling World anyways. Hows about:
Crumbling WorldBG
Sorcery (M)
Multikicker 2
Destroy target permanent, then another target permanent for each time Crumbling World was kicked. If Crumbling World was kicked three or more times, exile all permanents sent to the battlefield this way.
Or was your message more that no matter what, a BGVindicate could NEVER be mythic?
Crumbling World1BG
Sorcery (M)
Kicker RWU
Destroy target permanent. If Crumbling World was kicked, exile three target permanents instead and Crumbling World deals 9 damage those permanent's controllers.
Visage of HopeRWU
Creature - Avatar (M)
Haste, Vigilance
Whenever Visage of Hope attacks, you may untap each other attacking creature.
3/3
Also, I'd like to insist that teams criticizing each other should be avoided as much as possible. As it is now, almost the whole Melancholic team has criticized the sanguine and only one from the sanguine team has done it for melancholics. Negative critics may affect the way they will criticize back, even subconsciously.
Since it's traditional in the CCL to only have four teams (as they try to get 24 people to play), and you don't want to have the same team critique a team twice, it will happen eventually. Try petitioning in the CCL Discussion thread to make 5 teams with 5 players each happen. That'll keep your counter criticism thing from happening.
I may not be here at 11:00 PM tonight to say who gets points and who doesn't. So just a reminder: EVEN IF I DON'T SAY ANYTHING, PEOPLE WHO POST THEIR CRITIQUES/T3'S AFTER 11:00 PM EST (EASTERN STANDARD TIME) TONIGHT WILL GET NO BONUS POINTS!
Sigh, Alright, I'll do it next round. Critiques start either A) at the appointed time (11 PM Tonight) or when everyone has submitted. Since we're missing Charlie, Piar and Goblin Pile Shuffler, I hadn't opened the floodgates for critiques. Please hold until either the missing entries show up or it's 11 PM EST.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Overview
The CCL is among the more fun games on the MtGSalvation forums due to its inherent aspect of interactivity among the Leaguers (that’s you). We actively critique each other’s card designs at the end of each round, putting a more personal interest into our cards and generally making us all better designers. Typically, we build worlds more complete than many games, as each round builds on the designs and ideas of previous rounds in the month. The CCL allows for Leaguers to plumb the depths of creativity, as the point schedule aspect allows for three full rounds without fear of elimination.
* Schedule
o The CCL will run six rounds, each lasting five days.
+ Rounds 1, 2 & 3 will be free-for-alls with each leaguer fighting for the most points during critiques. At the beginning of each of these rounds, the host will divide the league members evenly into two teams and each team will be assigned their design challenge. At the challenge deadline, the round will elapse into the critique section (see Critiques below). Once the critique section ends, the host will tally points and post the next round. Team rosters are likely to change between rounds; the new rosters will be included in the initial posting for the next round.
o Each round will last five days: 3.5 to finalize designs, 1.5 for critiques.
o The schedule will usually operate according to US Eastern Time Zone (GMT -5). We will stick to this schedule as closely as possible, adjusting as necessary.
* Challenge Rounds
o At the start of each round, the host will post the challenge for the round. This may be, at the host’s discretion, a single challenge for all leaguers, a list for each leaguer to choose from, challenges assigned to each leaguer, or other challenge variation.
o Each Leaguer will post his/her entry by the deadline, 3.5 days after the round is posted.
* Critique Rounds
o At the end of each challenge round, the host, or an individual the host designates, will officially close the round and open the forum for critiques. After this point, modifying the post containing your entry for the round will incur penalties (see Penalties section).
o Each Leaguer will thoroughly critique at least 50% of the entries given by the leaguers on the other team.
o In addition to the critiques, each Leaguer generates his/her list of the Top 3 entries for the round. The Top 3 listings are the chief source of points within the CCL and are therefore required to complete. Even if critiques are not completed, Top 3’s must be listed to avoid penalties (see Penalties for penalty schedule). Regardless of the cards actually critiqued by a given Leaguer, Top 3’s can be drawn from any valid entry of the round. Submitting Top 3’s grants one point.
o A valid critique does not need to be lengthy. A few constructive sentences will do as long as they are meaningful. Neither “Hated it,” “Too expensive,” nor “Bahhrokken!!!” are valid critiques.
Example:
The following card is submitted by Fitzgerald:
A few decent critics:
from Tiberius: Templating issue with “nonpermanent card,” it's confusing and should just read “instant or sorcery card.” And the cost seems steep: I’m giving up a mana, a card, and immediate access to the card I looked for. Creative, but not bad.
from Wilhelmina: I hate the name. Also the shuffle part should be right after removing the tutored card instead of on a separate line. Seems powerful as an instant, play it on the opponents turn and you get basically a free draw, but you get to pick it.
from Beauregard: A bit complicated for uncommon. It doesn’t go to microtext on a render (sans flavor text) but it still isn’t all that intuitive.
* Valid Entry Constitution
o A valid entry in a given round cleanly delivers all required components of the challenge. The CCL is based around card design, so each challenge will direct Leaguers to design one or more cards, but other components may be given according to the judge’s discretion. Historically, these non-card components have included such things as keyword mechanic designs, story pieces, and various ideas for the judge to incorporate into later rounds. Include only what is described by the challenge requirements, as superfluous items may sway judgings unfairly and will incur penalties.
o It is customary to include card renders in entries. This is not required. Some Leaguers may not have access to render design software and therefore will not be penalized for posting an entry without a render. However, it must be understood that a proper render is easier to judge/critique as it is more pleasing to the eye, more memorable and allows for Leaguers to judge the card by its wordiness, a very important aspect of a card’s design. Common rendering software used include Magic Set Editor (free program, the standard that most amateur designers use), PhotoShop (not free), and GIMP (free PhotoShop knockoff).
* Scoring
(This has been depricated, and pending approval from the powers that be will be deleted. See the next spoiler section for how Scoring works.)
o The bulk of available points will be derived from Top 3 listings, as is League custom. Within each Top 3 listing, the choice for 1st place will be awarded 3 points, the choice for 2nd place will receive 2 points, and the choice for 3rd place will receive 1 point. It is common for Leaguers to post an Honorable Mention or two along with their T3 listings. Honorable Mentions are not awarded points. Posting T3s is required and awards one point for completion of the requirements. There are penalties for failure to post T3s (see Penalties section).
o Critiques are an optional aspect of the CCL, therefore no penalties are given for failure to complete critiques. Any Leaguer completing critiques for at least 50% of the other team's entries will receive 1 bonus point. An additional point will be awarded if a Leaguer critiques all valid entries in the round.
o As noted in the section on Valid Entry Constitution, entries are encouraged to contain proper card renders. Some Leaguers may not have access to render design software and will not be penalized for posting an entry without a render.
* Penalties
o Failure to post Top 3s as required during the Critique section of any round will put a Leaguer on probation. While on probation, failure to post an Top 3 in any later round will disqualify that Leaguer for the remainder of the month.
o Once a Round elapses into its critique section, any Leaguer modifying their entry after any leaguer has posted a critique, will be disqualified for the round.
o Failure to post an entry within the Challenge round will put a Leaguer on probation. While on probation, failure to post an entry in any later round will disqualify that Leaguer for the remainder of the month.
* Resources
o This is a templating guideline compiled by Kraj. It is quite concise and very useful.
o Making Magic by Mark Rosewater, current head of Magic Design at Wizards of the Coast. Making Magic is a weekly article detailing the trials, tribulations and achievements of Magic R&D in riveting prose.
o Magiccards.info is the database mtgsalvation draws upon when you use the [card] tag. The advanced search functionality is useful for searching all cards officially printed by WotC.
o Gatherer is the database maintained officially by WotC. It has slightly different functionality than magiccards.info, but the differences are too numerable to list here. (Someone should write an article about that)
o Your other Leaguers are fantastic resources. We, more than the players of other games on this forum, are a community, as can be seen by the dialogue of any CCL thread.
+ Question, consult with, challenge and encourage each other at every opportunity.
o Credits
Each round, the players have a chance of getting a total of 100 points toward their score. Each score is determined by the following equation:
The grading of 3 points for first place, 2 points for second and 1 for third still stands. This is also the case for up to 2 points for crits and Top 3.
Total points of player A in round N = 100 * X/Y
Where:
X = Total number of points given by judges + (Bonus points for critiques & Top 3)
Y = Total number of points possible (3*Number of judges + Bonus Points)
This way the grading is more streamlined in the fact that all rounds up to going to top 8 are graded equally, and there is no handicap for any team that has fewer judges.
Each player starts the next round with the score that he previously had, and another possible 100 points is given to him at the end of that round. Therefore, there is a possible 300 points before the CCL goes to top 8.
ROUND 2 CHALLENGE: Create a LEGENDARY LAND card that embodies your culture's main citadel, holy space, or center of population.
Alright, just to get your creative juices flowing: Where is your culture’s version of Mecca? What is their New York City like? How high are the walls of their Forbidden Palace? The land only needs to be very important to your culture, not necessarily a Citadel, Holy Space, or Center of Population, but that just makes it easier to think about.
EXAMPLE: Spiralroot
Legendary Land (R)
Spiralroot enters the battlefield tapped.
When Spiralroot enters the battlefield, untap each Spider you control. T: Add B or G to your mana pool. The Spiralroot is Eiki's Holy of Holies. No skydweller has come close enough to even catch a glimpse.
CRITIQUING ORDER:
The Sanguine Team will provide Critiques for The Melancholic Team
The Choleric Team will provide Critiques for The Phlegmatic Team
The Melancholic Team will provide Critiques for The Sanguine Team
The Phlegmatic Team will provide Critiques for The Choleric Team
DEADLINES: SUBMISSIONS are due by 2/9 at 11:00 pm EST (GMT -5). CRITIQUES are due by 2/11 at 11:00 pm EST (GMT -5).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
I will be trying an experiment this month. If you post your actual submission within twenty-four hours of the thread going up, I will award 5 extra points to your total. If you post your full critiques within twenty-four hours of me saying “Begin critiques”, you will receive an additional 5 points. However, don’t let this bonus rush your designs. Better cards means a better chance that you’ll be top in the Top 3, and that’s worth more points.
Kat, Tim, and Greg are all on Team 1. They have next round’s challenge; Kat and Tim both post with 24 hours of the thread going up, but it takes Greg 48 hours to post his submission.
Likewise, Tim and Greg both post their critiques within 24 hours of go, but Kat is 6 hours late. The Top 3’s from the Critiquing team look like this:
1. Kat
2. Tim
3. Greg
1. Greg
2. Kat
3. Tim
1. Tim
2. Kat
3. Greg
1. Kat
2. Tim
3. Greg
Thus, each player’s final score for the first round will look like this:
I think I need to rework Crumbling World anyways. Hows about:
Crumbling World BG
Sorcery (M)
Multikicker 2
Destroy target permanent, then another target permanent for each time Crumbling World was kicked. If Crumbling World was kicked three or more times, exile all permanents sent to the battlefield this way.
Or was your message more that no matter what, a BG Vindicate could NEVER be mythic?
Sorcery (M)
Kicker RWU
Destroy target permanent. If Crumbling World was kicked, exile three target permanents instead and Crumbling World deals 9 damage those permanent's controllers.
Visage of Hope RWU
Creature - Avatar (M)
Haste, Vigilance
Whenever Visage of Hope attacks, you may untap each other attacking creature.
3/3
My questions is simple: Do they feel mythic?
Someone, if you would be so kind, find a better way to word this. But this is my suggestion.
Since it's traditional in the CCL to only have four teams (as they try to get 24 people to play), and you don't want to have the same team critique a team twice, it will happen eventually. Try petitioning in the CCL Discussion thread to make 5 teams with 5 players each happen. That'll keep your counter criticism thing from happening.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
I will be trying an experiment this month. If you post your actual submission within twenty-four hours of the thread going up, I will award 5 extra points to your total. If you post your full critiques within twenty-four hours of me saying “Begin critiques”, you will receive an additional 5 points. However, don’t let this bonus rush your designs. Better cards means a better chance that you’ll be top in the Top 3, and that’s worth more points.
Kat, Tim, and Greg are all on Team 1. They have next round’s challenge; Kat and Tim both post with 24 hours of the thread going up, but it takes Greg 48 hours to post his submission.
Likewise, Tim and Greg both post their critiques within 24 hours of go, but Kat is 6 hours late. The Top 3’s from the Critiquing team look like this:
1. Kat
2. Tim
3. Greg
1. Greg
2. Kat
3. Tim
1. Tim
2. Kat
3. Greg
1. Kat
2. Tim
3. Greg
Thus, each player’s final score for the first round will look like this:
Kat: ((3 + 2 + 2 + 3) + (2)/14 * 100) + 5 = 90.7 (85.7 without)
Tim: ((2 + 1 + 3 + 2) + (2)/14 * 100) +10 = 81.4 (71.4 without)
Greg: ((1 + 3 + 1 + 1) + (2)/14 * 100) + 5 = 63.1 (57.1 without)
OK, so the deadline for bonus points will be 12:50 PM EST 02/07/2011
