And now, a card for the one place capitalism can’t reach: SPACE!Could you be a bit more specific? Fair enough. Wizards of the Coast has teased a future set based on space opera; not a fantasy take on space opera, but a canon plane in the multiverse that plays the traditional tropes straight. What could a potential card design for this set look like? |

Alright, so I think one thing they'll likely try in the Space Opera set is make lands like the ones from Unfinity, with planets in the art. Given how magic works and some of the information currently available, there's probably going to be more in the way of ground forces on planets represented on cards, and I suspect most space battles are simply going to be vehicle focused. In a previous challenge here on the site I worked on a future version of Kaladesh that went into space and came up some spaceships and a mechanic called Spacelaunch, which essentially made them unblockable and gave them hexproof for the turn (at a cost of some energy and triggered when they attack), but given the set does not primarily focus on space combat I reckon spaceships are probably just going to have flying. Even so, the idea of space travel, space conquest and building a multiplanetary empire seems really cool, so I decided to try to tackle a way to have that kind of idea.   Conquest would be a new battle type meant specifically for lands. They would also have some condition besides combat to help remove the defense counters. I'm thinking the set could have 3 cycles of mono-colored and 2-colored Conquests (uncommon), producing 2-mana-giving land and a rare cycle of 3-colored conquests (rare) producing a 3-mana-giving land. |

Bumping this thread, since I’d like to have enough entries to actually judge them, instead of the only poster winning by default.

I wasn’t counting the spasic land since it seemed like an obvious joke entry based on the initial misinterpretation. If it was meant to be serious/legitimate then I apologize and crown Idea as the winner for the more mechanically substantive submission. However, given the extenuating circumstances of my own misinterpretation, I’ll judge a substitution entry if you’d like to swap them out. |

Holidays are busy for me |

Reality Glitch{Spoiler}I very much like this card's design from a flavor perspective, as it can be several people mastering the ways or one person going really in-depth with double (or even triple if they already had it) prowess. It also triggers the rebound itself on the repeated casting. I might reduce the cost by  but that would be a matter of playtesting considering synergies. {Spoiler}I do find it a little funny how this card's design kind of conveys two of the soldiers being asleep or something? Because they are not pulling their weight in the phallanx's power. This also seems to be the standard way to design cards like this, giving them equal power to the sum of the tokens. On the other hand, it's a stronger blocker than it looks and even gives you more chump blockers. Still, I think at least increasing it's power by 1 would be appropriate.
Flavor wise it's also good/decent with Dromoka's flavor Winner {Spoiler}Over all, pretty setting fitting entries though not much done on the speculative side. Victory goes to Reality Glitch !

Alright! Hop into your animus rigs and see which Assassin’s Creed you call your own. (Yes; that is one of the announced Universes Beyond sets.)

Never played AC so I gotta skip this one Go through the wiki and see if you recognize any big historical names, e.g. Blackbeard, Thor, etc... AC has covered enough mythology/history at this point that you'd probably have a decent shot at it if you try. |

Since Universes Beyond X Assassin's Creed is out without any submissions, I think it's safe to switch the prompt to something else. Let's see predictions for Universes Beyond X Final Fantasy.
