Alright, so we have our final 3. Jazaray KGtheLegend ChargingRhinos Prepare yourselves for the final round! It's gonna be a doozy. You get two weeks from tonight to finish this! Here is the criteria: I want a new block. The entire 3 sets. No, you don't have to make me roughly 600 cards. Here's what I want: Introduction of two (antagonoist and protagonist) new characters to the main magic storyline. These characters can: Be either planeswalkers or Legendary Creatures Evolve as the story goes on (start as a legend and move to planeswalker, or become a more powerful legend) Be very powerful (try not to break them) These characters will need: Descriptions of their abilities, as to why they have them Reasons as to why they are on this plane These characters cannot: Be previously existing characters Be unhinged characters (so no unhinged set) You may use a previously existing plane in a current,past, or future timeline. You may also use your own new plane. You may also introduce up to 4 characters if desired, but you have to focus on the main 2 characters that you introduce! With this block, I want the introduction of at least 5, but not more than 8, new mechanics. These mechanics cannot: Be previously used mechanics. Be variations of them (example: multientwine). Be re-phrased mechanics (fading;suspend). Extra mechanics are only used to increase your description of this block, and may not warrant you extra points. Also, in this block, as each set comes out, I want at least 5 but no more than 8 new cards to help assist your set description. These cards can be any card type, and should probably utilize new mechanics as they are being introduced, or show tribes that are active (if you are playing with tribal) and how they interact, or be cards that interact with your mechanic, or generic cards that assist in explaining your block. This block must also introduce a new cycle of lands. You must post at least 5, but no more than 10. These lands can also be used with your new mechanics. They do not have to be all in the same set, but could be dispersed amongst the entire block. This is asking for a lot, I know. But I am giving out some (IMO) great prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. You also get a full 2 weeks to create this block, so don't rush yourself on getting it out as soon as possible. Unlike last round, I won't be really nitpicky. Unlike last round, You may receive help. Please be careful though, and inform me of any edits you have made. The more edits you make, I may end up deducting from your score. tl;dr Round 4: 2-4 legends/planeswalkers 5-8 new mechanics 15-24 new cards 5-10 new lands 22-38 new cards total You may begin! Stay tuned for the bonus round!

Bonus round: (anyone who entered this tournament for round 1 is able to compete)For the bonus round, I would like to see a commercial. That's right: Load up youtube, turn on your TV, and choose a commercial. That product being advertised? Make me a card for it. Any card type, any Rarity, anything you want to make for a product I could go out and buy. 1 week from today this is over with!

That's one hell of an assignment for "prizes" of a completely nebulous nature.

Sure is Devonin. But these aren't like : Here's a pack of dragon maze! or; here are 10 2 dollar cards! I'm reaching into my personal collection for this, and I had prizes previously made up. However, I am thinking about changing the top 3 prizes. We will see what comes up, but I assure you these are not junk prizes.

The criteria states that they must be the same card type. I was really torn on this decision, but I had to stick to my own rules of the 'nit-picky' round and invalidate your entry. I'm sorry man.
I knew that was probably going to kill me as I thought the cycle up. I gambled on the fact you didn't think of the Vertical cycle so on creativity factor I'd gone through the roof. I believe I was behind a few guys so I needed to catch up. Anyway, it's good to read that you had a hard time making the call . Again thanks for doing this, I'll join next time again. Good luck on the finalists! __________________ I'm a geek, you're a geek. Let's trade.Lord Flasheart: Enter the man who has no underwear. Ask me why.

And the shields are fine designs, but they all need to cost less than the swords to be remotely playable and not at all "extremely good"

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird B14ckM4g3 hasn't announced what the prizes will be yet?You want people to create a new mini-block with 5-8 mechanics and 22-38 cards total? In just 2 weeks? Isn't that ridiculous?

Not mad. Just want blackmage to know that is not a blue only ability. Oust is also another card that does the same thing.

Jeez, that's alot of new cards in only two weeks... I work a lot and don't know if I'll have time to finish this, but at the end of the time frame I will submit whatever I have I guess. EDIT: quote: Jace's Charm: Counterspell, mizzium skin, careful study. All of these effects seem fitting. I'm slightly concerned over instant speed careful study, but at 3 mana seems balanced.
Was thinking more like frantic search at 3 mana instant speed looting, but I couldnt put the untap 3 lands part on cause that would just be way too broken. As far as all the charms went last round, I looked for instant speed spells in those colors that cost 2 or 3 CMC, and went with the 3 most cohesive ones, although I did make a few up =)

If you guys agree that 2 weeks isn't enough time, than I can extend the deadline.

Google's Glasses Legendary Artifact - Insight 7When you cast Google's Glasses, target player reveals their hand for the rest of the game. 3, tap: Insight - Look at the top 4 cards of target player's library. You may exchange any of those cards with cards already in target player's hand. Google's Glasses can only enter the battlefield from your hand. --- Obviously this is Google Glass, which gives you information from all over the web in one compact device!
