So this has been an idea of mine for a while now and I'd like to try it out on here. Might be a little cumbersome, but at least I can say I tried. The game is simple and similar to most of the other games on here, however the challenge as well as the limitations for each player are determined by cards the players have in their hands. It might just work best for me to explain the rules for this to make sense... BEFORE PLAYING1. Download the MSE set file for the 'Look At Me, I'm R&D' cards. ( www.mediafire.com/file/aegb5hw2l5oipcm/LookAtMeI%27mR%26D.mse-set ) 2. Each player will "draw" seven R&D Cards randomly. To do this... {Spoiler}
Open the MSE set file > 'Random' > 'Add Custom Pack...' > Put 7 next to where it says 'Common' and click 'OK' > Put 1 next to where it says 'Custom pack' and then click 'Generate Pack' on the far right. 3. Once you've generated your hand, put a spoiler in your post with the cards you got. (You can check my first post after this for reference) Whenever you use one or more of the cards from your hand, remove them from the spoiler and replace them with that many new random cards using the same method above except replacing 7 with how many cards you used. 4. Unused cards stay in your hand from round to round. HOW TO PLAY
1. One person is the Dealer and either picks a random Idea card from the MSE set file or by picking one from the 30 currently available. 2. The Dealer than reveals the Idea card they picked and that is the challenge for the week. Players must follow that challenge to make a card, including using the exact amount of R&D Cards the Idea says to use. ( R&D Cards that you use stay in your hand until after the challenge) 3. At the end of the week, the Dealer picks their favorite card and the winner becomes the new Dealer. Players then "draw" more R&D Cards so they have a hand of 7 cards once again. MORE IN DEPTH EXAMPLEThe Idea card is The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth which says "Create a creature with a converted mana cost of 3 or less" and requires 3 R&D Cards. My hand contains: Aura, Blue, Dragon, Human, Morbid, Sorcery, and Vampire So valid entries would be... Bluehater Dragon   Creature - Dragon  Flash, Flying Morbid - If a creature died this turn, destroy target Blue non-land permanent. 2/3 [Dragon] [Morbid] [Blue] Bloodthirsty Spellsucker    Creature - Vampire Wizard  Whenever ~ becomes the target of an Aura spell, you may counter it. If you do, gain 3 life. 3/1 [Vampire] [Blue] [Aura] Spoopy Monster  Creature - Horror  If a Human creature would enter the battlefield, destroy it instead. Sorcery spells you cast have " Morbid - Each opponent loses 3 life." 0/7 [Human] [Sorcery] [Morbid] I'm currently not taking suggestions for Idea and R&D Cards since this is just a test. Obviously this game would work better on paper, but I thought I'd give it a try here first and see if it has longevity.
I've uploaded an album of all the cards so they can easily be linked to.Daij_Djan was a HUGE help and added more artwork to the cards. Those can be found here: R&D Cards and Idea Cards

@ Zuty: Very interesting concept - reminds me of the Challenge Slots. I like the idea of keeping unused cards around. I'd love to give it a try - yet sadly I can't download the set file. When clicking on the link, Dropbox first forced me to log into my account and then did nothing - and when I click on the link now that I'm logged in, I'm still always only getting redirected to my own storage. Could you host the file somewhere else? Also I did take a look at the album - you totally need to add artwork where it's missing  |

Sorry about the wrong link, I've since fixed it. And I should elaborate more after seeing the comment kinotherapy made. As long as the cards you use in your hand are referenced in your submission, that still counts. So look at Kino's hand, the 2CMC card could be used to have the submission have a CMC of 2 or it references in the textbox 2 CMC (ie. "Destroy target permanent with a CMC of 2 or less." or "Reveal a card with a CMC of 2 or more..."). You can make any card you want for submission to the Idea, just so long as you use X R&D Cards. MORE IN DEPTH EXAMPLEThe Idea card is The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth which says "Creatre a creature with a converted mana cost of 3 or less" and requires 3 R&D Cards. My hand contains: Aura, Blue, Dragon, Human, Morbid, Sorcery, and Vampire So valid entries would be... {Example 1} Bluehater Dragon Creature - Dragon Flash, Flying Morbid - If a creature died this turn, destroy target Blue non-land permanent. 2/3 [Dragon] [Morbid] [Blue] {Example 2} Bloodthirsty Spellsucker Creature - Vampire Wizard Whenever ~ becomes the target of an Aura spell, you may counter it. If you do, gain 3 life. 3/1 [Vampire] [Blue] [Aura] {Example 3} Spoopy Monster Creature - Horror If a Human creature would enter the battlefield, destroy it instead. Sorcery spells you cast have " Morbid - Each opponent loses 3 life." 0/7 [Human] [Sorcery] [Morbid] Hopefully this will help clear up some confusion for the future. I will put this example in the first post as well for easier reference. ~Zuty |

I downloaded the set but for some reason my MSE crashes when I try to open it. So I also used the album. Using "Instant", "Defender" and "Indestructible": Purity Charm  Instant  Choose one — • Target creature gains indestructible until end of turn. • Target creature gains defender until end of turn. • Target creature gains lifelink until end of turn. |

Are used cards replaced immediately or after the challenge ends? After, but you can replace them as soon as you use them if you'd like. That rule is more so if this were being played with actually printed out cards like 'Apples to Apples'. ~Zuty |

It's been a week, so time to judge! kinotherapy - Loving that Landfall trigger a lot. The modes are all pretty decent and not half bad, but the Landfall trigger makes doubling down on the same mode or picking two different modes really makes this card shine. I could and would love to see a cycle of this, either following Ravnica guilds or Alara shards. Daij_Djan - The modes are all very good and work perfectly. The recursion with Landfall really helps push this further, because without that this should have costed but getting the charm back on land drops really helps this card shine. Playing this on T2 and then just dropping lands and replaying it over and over would be great too; would love to see a cycle for this. fluffydeathbringer - If Innistrad ever had a charm cycle for the different creature types, this is a great entry for that cycle. Not having a Vampire/Human to hit isn't all so bad, but when those choices are available ... hubba-bubba ... Another cycle I'd love to see continued. Flo00 - Simple and sweet. A 1 CMC charm cycle would definitely follow this kind of logic and I'd (again) love to see a continuation of this. It seems like something you'd see in Core Set and would absolutely love to crack open in a pack. Fleur - A mono-colored charm that seems like it's aligned to Necra (GWB), while still remaining perfectly White. I know I've said it for each entry, but this is a brilliant card I'd love to see a cycle for. Perhaps following the wedge colors while all remaining (2)(COLOR)(COLOR) and sticking to what you could see in that mono-color, while also dipping a bit into the other two colors. This was a tough one, because I loved each of the cards. But the winner is ... Congratulations. And I'm looking forward to the next Idea card. ~Zuty |

OK then, let's go. Your challenge for this round was:  (Btw, after talking to Zuty , I've added images to almost all cards in the masterfile, so expect some fancier card links once I've finnished the rest  )And now let's take a look at what you have designed: Mumalak Purist Creature – Vampire Warrior Discard an instant or sorcery card: Regenerate Mumalak Purist. Tradition is everything to the vampires of the Mumalak jungle, stretching down their lineages like the roots of the plants they consume.2/2
Right at the start we have a green vampire remembering me of the discussion about this very specific color / creature type combination  My opinion on this matter hasn't changed since then: I think it can be done if justified nicely in flavor and/or mechanics. And I have to say your card indeed delivers here. Regeneration by offering resources fits vampires nicely (while being a nice reanimator protection), only asking for instants or sorceries fits the creature color green – and while the card doesn't look that pushed, not requiring any mana payment pushes this card to uncommon. Arrogant Lurker Creature - Vampire Madness 2/1
And we have our second green vampire I have to admit, this one looks a bit bland, though. With no additional abilities and/or flavor text, this really feels like it could be just as well black. Also the card seems to be rather underpowered. Madness creatures tend to have a casting cost fitting their powerlevel just as normal with the Madness cost being one or two mana less – and green really gets more than 2/1 vanillas for . Nilbog Soothmender Creature - Goblin Shaman Hexproof Landfall — Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, you may return target Aura from your graveyard or the battlefield to its owner's hand. 1/4
Well, we've had Lorwyn goblins in green, Izzet goblins with blue in the past and people always say boggarts work fine as white goblins – so while I was a bit unsure at first, I guess this color combination works. The ability definitely is interesting even though it requires a Angel of Serenity-like wording (..you may return target Aura from the battlefield or Aura card from your graveyard..). Also this might be me, but I wish the card would feel a bit more like a goblin – maybe trade in the protective, safeplaying hexproof for something a bit more reckless? Then again, a render with fitting artwork might fix this (there probably won't be much room for flavor text). Furious Lavalurch  Creature – Elemental Ooze Intimidate (this creature can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or creatures that share a color with it.)Landfall – Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on Furious Lavalurch and it gains landwalk of your choice until end of turn. 3/3
Labeling red lava elementals as ooze creatures is a very nice concept I definietly can get behind instantly with the name (and art) alone. Flavor aside, a 3/3 Intimidate for five mana surely doesn't look like a rare at first glimpse, but that Landfall trigger is sure to make it growth quickly. However it's the also added Landwalk I don't really get. Neither is red really known for having much landwalk in the first place (let alone choosing the type) nor does it make much sence for a lava blob to hide well in the woods (let alone in the water? ). Also turning completely unblockable (because that's what landwalk of your choice will do) when you already have evasion to begin with feels a bit weird in general. Stiched Ronin Creature - Zombie Samurai When Stiched Ronin enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you exile a creature card from your graveyard. Stiched Ronin has bushido X, where X is the exiled card’s converted mana cost. 2/3
Bringing the concept of Stitcher Geralf's blue zombies from Innistrad over to Kamigawa sure sounds like an interesting concept (who knows, maybe it'll make me watch Yoroi?) - and I know how it's not only done in flavor but mechanics as well. Using Innistrad's blue zombies' downside of requiring „ parts“ in your graveyard as fuel for Kamigawa's samurai mechanic is quite cool. This card however clearly is no common. A 2/3 for is way too much over the curve even with that downside considering you also get Bushido X with X being able to rank as high as your graveyard allows absolutely belongs at uncommon (even if the cost wouldn't be as pushed, effects scaling up this way are mostly found above common nowadays – WotC even stopped using  mana costs at common for the most part ( Syncopate is the first common featuring it since Slime Molding). Mana Sucker Creature - Leech When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, create two 1/1 blue Leech creature tokens. Sacrifice a Leech: Counter target spell unless that spell's controller pays . If they do, add . 1/3
Very interesting concept for a blue leech indeed. Actually, using such a soft counter sacrifice ability makes much more sence on a leech than it made on a merfolk wizard, a bird or some drakes.. I have two issues with your card nethertheless: First of all, I'm not sure it really works at five mana even with those two tokens – it'd probably be much more useful at a cheaper cost with only one token (or even cheaper without any additional token at all) because by turn five, I doubt it'll really do much. Also I'm not convinced on the mana your leeches grant you. I know blue can add colorless mana, but how often will you really be able to use it considering the timing is completely outside of your control? It's cute and I get how it's supposed to emphasize the card being a leech (it doesn't need this though, imho) – but I'm not convinced it's weirdness is really worth the effort. Noble Hydra Creature – Hydra First strike Threshold — Noble Hydra has double strike as long as seven or more cards are in your graveyard. 3/3
If I remember correctly, MaRo once talked about how WotC struggled with making hydra cards feel hydra without always just using +1/+1 counters in an article – and I think your card is indeed a nice example of how to do this right. Cost, stats and rarity all match as well. My only complaint would be: Why is this white instead of red (which would be more common for hydras)? So far I only have the term „noble“ in its name which doesn't really convince me – some short flavor text and/or artwork would really help making this card perfect. Nice work, everyone! I really enjoyed your cards, but there can be only one winner. After some pondering, I decided I had to give the win to fluffydeathbringer for a generally well rounded card justifying its color shifted creature type in flavor and mechanics nicely |
