The last 6 entries were only listed in the thread, but, I think we'll be discussing them all. It's 17 submissions, and I'd like to keep the broadcast to ~1 hour, so we may have to go quickly in our analysis of some of these. Apologies in advance!

 

[Onderzeeboot]

I'm all for allowing the entries in the thread, they're kind of open submissions, right?

 

[Meltyman]

The more the merrier, i would say

 

[Diakonov]

My design (Luxozoa) may be too strong. Scry 2 instead of 3 might be more appropriate.

 

[Jason Waddell]

Forgot to say, we are going live in 1.5 hours with the broadcast (3 PM EST). Sorry for the late announcement.

 

[Meltyman]

that means you aren't coming to the draft !

Hope it's not too late to ask to include my submission (post #41 on page 2). Missed the bit about PM.

Hey, we should cover it, it's not in the imgur gallery, but I will try to remember. Worst case, somebody post in the chat.

 

[psly4mne]

Cool, look forward to it.

 

[Jason Waddell]

We are live now.

So for reference, here's Lucas' proposed submission which would supposedly flatten the competition.

I tuned in for a little bit in the middle, and I have to say: Chris, you have a great speaking / podcasting / streaming voice! (Assuming that was Chris.) You need to do more of these!

Thanks! Glad you liked it, though I definitely need to say "Like" less

Ok, that was awesome, thanks so much guys. You two have a very solid dynamic and both of you bring an interesting perspective to the contest.

I will admit my favourite part was watching Jason squirm at the concept of grading the cards...

Re: Luxozoa

The first time around I couldn't locate the artist's name, but I dug a bit deeper, and his name is Pedro Cerveira. I'll add the credit when I post the updated version of the card.

Agreed about the lack of flavor text. I knew it didn't look great, but I was lazy at the time. I'll find something on the next pass.

Fun to watch. You guys should do this more often!

I love the idea but It'd have to be about something else. The second best card I've got waiting in the wings is far lower, and the 3rd is barely interesting at all

Lol you have lots of cards I like way more than experiment two. Maybe I'm stupid, though.

 

[psly4mne]

Anyway, get the creative juices flowing and make something new for the contest! That's kind of the point.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

This was two hours well spent! Thanks Jason and Chris!

I didn't see anything about not being able to use previous designs, so I'm going to apply with a card I made for the Build-your-Own Draft that I participated.

It is a powerful card by itself (I think it is better than, but very comparable to Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit). Slightly hard to cast, depending on the mana base, but useful for aggro and mid-range. Provides fuel for sacrifice engines, is good with recursion engines, goes well with Deranged Hermit (all-around cube staple ), and will lighten up the mood whenever is cast.

Spoiler

I actually came up with this by googling squire and seeing squirrel in the related searches, so that's why it makes squirrels.

 

[VincePendrell]

Oh wait, I'm one month late. Nevermind

 

[Diakonov]

Alright, first update of Luxozoa. Still too lazy to find good flavor text. Tell me what you think.

Chris & Jason, how would you grade the following card?
