Can you guess what time it is About 5ish, why? No you booka, it's time for another Contest! Oh, ok then. Be excited. You haven't even told me what it is. :| Oh yah...

WTF? Another one :|
Yes another one, but this one has a most different theme then my last one. This is no Beauty Pagent, this is a... Card creator contest!

But I don't know anything about MTG!
That's fine, keep reading, because you don't need to.

But I don't have a program to make my own!
Also fine, I will be actually be making them, you just have to provide me with certain... things.

Ok then, so how do I enter?
For now just sign your name

K, I signed, now what?
Choose a skill, creature, outpost, action, mission or just about anything in the entire GW universe, I must be able to obtain a screenshot though either from the wiki or be provided one by you, this means no fictional objects, or backstory. If you need inspiration just hit Random Page until something you like comes up, or do your own character, it can even be another person's character or another guildwikian entirely.

I choose something, now what?
Now sign right here again with what thing you are doing, and say what you want the card to do, you do not need to use official speech. However, you can template it yourself if you know how to do it, you can also create your own image and post it down in the Ok, now what? section. EX:
 * coolguy. - Shiro Tagachi: It is pretty much Shiro with Impossible Odds.
 * El_Nazgir: Lazarus the Dire: Mursaat General with Spectral Agony (if that's realistic to get into MGT :P ) Lazarus the Dire.jpg
 * coolguy. - The Scepter of Orr: using mana as an analog to energy.
 * coolguy. - Prince Rurik: not sure about the rest of it, but definately HAS to attack every turn.
 * El_Nazgir: Undead Lich: He won't stay dead :P Maybe something like "pay XXX if it dies to go back to your hand"? I'll leave it to you. Lich Lord with Scepter of Orr.jpg (He looks so much cooler in that one than the pic on his page imo)
 * RavynousHunter: Kilroy Stonekin: Gotta be a Red, have Haste and possibly First Strike.
 * coolguy. - The Scar Eater's Desire: a reference to the old Odyssey block threshold enchantments.
 * TEF &mdash; Gwen: how is she able to return to Prophecies after only a few years? She should be 10 or 12, not 18 or 24. (Time travel, slow down other players, ?)
 * TEF &mdash; Tapestry Shred, confusion over how to get it and how to use it. (forces player to use card incorrectly? dunno MTG well enuf, so leave to your excellent judgment)
 * TEF &mdash; White Mantle Badge, looks like the White Mantle Emblem but has no collectors (and, as it salvages into cloth, seems fairly useless). Plus, it is by far among the least cool-looking drops in all of the game. So, is there a use for an MTG card that does nothing?
 * EL_Nazgir: Spiteful Spirit: The skill... And maybe throw in something like this in the text thingy (just to do F1 a favor :P).
 * F1: I'm going to make some sort of Charr set with Concept Art images. (Over seen some stuff and already made them and waiting for instructions :P)

 * Piranha.jpg ‎ (EotN concept art by BlindMan)
 * JungleFace.jpg ‎ (EotN concept art by BlindMan)
 * Fishfort.jpg ‎ (Factions concept art by Daniel Dociu)
 * Canal.jpg ‎ (Factions concept art by Daniel Dociu)


 * Balistic - Crab Fort what mendel said.
 * TEF &mdash; general note: feel free to ignore my suggested text since (1) you know MTG (and I don't) and (2) you are more creative than I anyhow :-) Also, feel free to drop my worst ideas in favor of those that are more fun to create.
 * TEF &mdash; Game Update: all veteran players (players with lots of cards? with special cards?) lose two turns complaining about this card; all n00bs lose 1 turn wondering what the fuss is about.
 * TEF &mdash; Pain Inverter: players with less than 3 cards remaining: remove opponent card with highest damage rating. Players with >3 cards: same, and lose one turn (handicap for using Title skill)
 * TEF &mdash; Ursan Blessing: all players win. No one loses. No one has any fun anymore.
 * TEF &mdash; Last Defender of Ascalon: player leaves room. Opponents replace each of their current cards with more valuable ones of same color. If player wins round, they get to use the replacement cards in subsequent rounds.
 * TEF &mdash; Nicholas the Traveler: each player turns in 3 low-value cards and draws 1 new card.

Ok, now what?
I post the created card down in this section here, if you don't like the effect you can request for me to do it differently, until I get it right or you give up.

K.
You can enter as many card designs as you want, and each will be attributed as a separate entity.

And if I win...?
Best Card design gets a White Rabbit minipet, undedicated. Second Place gets a conest, third place gets 10k. Honorable mentions each get 5 mysterious summoning stones.

You never said how I would actually win
The contest starts now, and ends on then 18th, this gives you two weeks to get your card ideas in. The judging will begin on the 20th so I have time to make any last mock ups. The winners will be announced on the 25th.

Anything else?
Yes, the cards will be attributed to you and posted on User:Gigathrash/MTG Cards. You can do as you like with them.

Special Thanks
