And the challenge issued by one of our winners was... Since this is the second time I'm allowed to come up with a CotW challenge, I want to to design a card that is, represents or has something to do with being the second of something!Happy counting seconds!

To start things off, here's my first inspiration:
While mostly focussed in RU, this trigger so far has existed in all colors except black - so here we go!  |

Let's see how far I can push the concept of 2nd:
Neoplastic Cognition   Enchantment  Flash
Split second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can’t cast spells or activate abilities that aren’t mana abilities.)
At the beginning of each end step, for every second +1/+1 counter put on a permanent this turn, you may draw a card. Then, for every second card you drew this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target permanent.
, Discard two cards: Put two +1/+1 counters on target permanent.
Triggers not just on the second, but every second (second, fourth, sixth, etc.). Also, it tracks the number of +1/+1 counters put on each permanent this turn separately. |

 Alea, Reality Sifter   Legendary Creature - Kor Wizard  If you would draw your second card each turn, instead scry 2, then draw a card. As you scry for the second time each turn, you may put one of the scried cards into your hand. 1/3 |

Something simple! I don't think an effect like this has happened before.
I was tempted to make it "draw that many cards", but I thought that might be a bit too busted, it's easy to gain like 5 life at a time lol.

My card is a bit weird, but it should still fit into the challenge.  |

@mk: The lose the game trigger seems a bit misplaced. Look at Last Chance, et al; their game loss is always a delayed trigger. I recommend changing to "When Mirus, Ruthless Hero attacks for a second time in a turn, you lose the game at end of combat.", so as to allow the potential for winning via combat damage before the game loss. |

sdfkjgh : I considered it, but I didn't know if that wouldn't be too strong. It's not too strong, and you'd have a riot on your hands if you didn't change it, because nobody wants a card that immediately loses them the game. |

sdfkjgh Well, there are ways to cheat that trigger. Sac it, or just Springleaf Drums it. But I added the end of turn part.

I was going to do something like Qasali Ambusher, but thought this would be more fun.  {Spoiler}{Text} Razescythe Raider  Creature - Elf Warrior  Haste Whenever an opponent loses life for the second time each turn, you may return Razescythe Raider from your graveyard to your hand. Forecast—  , Reveal Razescythe Raider from your hand: Target creature gains double strike until end of turn. (Play this ability only during your upkeep and only once each turn.) |

This would pair well with Cenn's Tactician. It doesn't technically refer to blocking a "second" creature, but I hope the 2s in the text box make up for it. |

Thought Reaper  Creature - Specter Flying, deathtouch Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, that player discards a card. Whenever an opponent draws their second card this turn, return ~ from your graveyard to the battlefield. 2/2 |

@ zybourne: Your card should get +2/+2 until end of turn as a toughness boost only during combat doesn't help much |

Syr Bertrand, the Blinding  Legendary Creature — Human Knight Flash Indestructible Whenever ~ you draw the second card each turn, you may pay . If you do, destroy all creatures. Valor-filled, he charges to the battlefield alone, and the gleam of his immaculately polished armor is the last rays of light his foes ever see.4/4 A card based on the "knight in shining armor trope." Part of a cycle of mythic knights I imagined from Eldraine that each feature the "whenever you draw the second card each turn" mechanic but requires an additional payment for a very powerful effect.

attaturk I adore this card! Ingenious use of the challenge and existing themes in blue. As far as power goes, I think it's strong without being overwhelming. Great design!
viriss Personally, I think this card is hurt by having the double hybrid costs. I think it'd be better off if it was either a tri-color card, or just two-color hybrid like we saw in some alara cards. Otherwise, the effect is interesting and I think it has potential.
@mk I think this card would be more interesting if it didn't force you to attack with him during the second attack phase. The way it is now, it's basically a 3 mana creature that doesn't do anything until your next turn, and then if you get to that turn you have to win or else you will lose. In my opinion, having it as an option to attack again makes it a more fun card to play and build around. In such a case, it might need to have its power dropped by 1, just to keep it from being too good.
sdfkjgh I like the use of split-second, I chuckled at that. The rest of the card seems pretty overwhelming, though, I had a hard time understanding what the card was supposed to do.
Flo00 The phrasing for your abilities is a bit off, I believe. Existing cards are all phrased "Whenever you draw your second card each turn..." I would assume the same phrasing would be used for your second scry: "Whenever you scry for the second time each turn, you may put up to one of those cards into your hand." Or something like that.
Orion Rings This is a great design. Love the simplicity and the flavor. It's also got some hilarious self-synergy, if you have two of them out, they boost each other.
murder3 The wording needs a bit of adjustment: "Second Strike deals 2 damage to any target. You draw a card and lose 1 life." "If Second Strike is the second spell you've cast this turn, it gains deathtouch." Or something along those lines.
gurfafflekins I feel like there's some missed potential here for a morbid ability, lol. When I read the card name, I was expecting something like "Destroy target creature." "Morbid- If another creature died this turn, exile that creature." Or something. I don't really know, it was just a fun thought I had.

Shiposting on the Sevens!
Since the upcoming April Fool's Day will be on a Thursday, let's just do this now:
Design the most offensive card you can think of. We're talking designs based on Kumā, and other horrible things. Stuff that would normally get you banned from this forum. Since this is a one-time thing, Mods, please refrain from your usual duties for the remainder of this Challenge
The BBC would like to apologise for the preceding announcement. It was in very poor taste, wasn't cleared with any of the Mods beforehand, and was made by an individual who was starting to become even more unhinged than usual due to feeling the pressure of a self-imposed obligation to constantly crack out new Shitposts every week or so. Rest assured, he is now getting the psychological help he so clearly needs.
Once again, the BBC would like to apologise, and we now return you to your regularly scheduled content, already in progress. |
