Entry for number #59
Idea Thank you for your feedback. I've changed the set and the rules in the first post so that now the render's author name is to be placed on the same line of the collector's number. I've also changed this post's render. The idea I've had for this set was akin to a coloring book, I was counting on its mechanics "coming along on their own" with the entries themselves. |

I've come to this thread a few times but the lack of a mechanical theme to go for here is throwing me off a bit. Still, I'll give this a shot. Since it's the first card, the only thing I have to go off of is the card itself. I'll give it a 7/10 for a fun bit of silver-border and fun joke, plus a simple though typical design. However, I can't approve this yet simply because it's a better Hero's Downfall at a lower rarity. Every effect of this type (destroying target creature or planeswalker) seems to be in rare rarity according to a scryfall search, with one exception, which was a reprint of hero's downfall with a lower rarity into uncommon. Still with the precedent being what it is, with this card being stronger than hero's downfall and with the lack of potential information about the unset, I would say bump it up to rare or nerf it in some other way. Edit: After the edit of the card above, I think it works great. Approved!
My own entry: (#127)  {Now Irrelevant}A couple notes regarding the bottom of the card, as I had some trouble with the formatting.
-couldn't edit the "your username goes here" part
-the artist credit is "Adventure Quest, Artix Entertainment". The only version of this image I managed to trace back went back to an adventure quest wiki, and there was no direct artist credit anywhere I could see, so I'm using the publisher of the game the wiki is about. {The Joke cause I dont Like Explaining the Joke and Preferably the Card Can make the joke come across}The primary joke in this card is a play on all the named artifact tokens we've been getting, clues, treasures, food, blood... It's also a play on the expression "one man's trash is another man's treasure" both referencing treasure as well as this card being a junk golem that builds itself with random disposable artifact tokens
Edit: Since I'm replying to pernicious 's edit, might as well tag them in the edit as well. |

Idea It seems alright to me. Approved! There's a typo left to fix, if you want to: "If it is wasn't", to be replaced with "If it wasn't". About the wording of the second part, maybe the card you were referring to was Attendant of Vraska?
Entry for #122
The joke is about the common bad habit of using your smartphone in inappropriate moments. I've fell to this bad habit myself many times. I've seen people using their smartphone during class; while watching a movie; while eating; while talking with others in person; and also while playing a boardgame.

Oops. I accidentally uploaded the wrong version last time. Well, this time I gave it some changes and made some corrections. I wasn't originally thinking that the effect would only trigger on sacrifice, which is why I didn't word it sacrifice, but after thinking about it, yeah other than direct artifact destruction you really aren't losing noncreature artifacts except by sacrificing them anyway. I renamed it from Trash to Junk (the token). I like it better than spare parts, it's funnier and I feel fits better on the idea that the golem is just picking up whatever it's not really aiming to build itself into anything that should be functional. The modal choice thing would force me to write the token generation part three times. That alone would already explode the space required. That kind of thing is more intended for very distinct effects anyways, like charm cycle-type things.
Edit: pernicious edits made. To be honest regarding the second piece of advice I could have sworn there was some other card I was basing that wording off of and that's why I used the name, but I can't recall what that/those card(s) was/were so I just made the edit according to your suggestions. |
