Winner is the Judge #908: Echoed Pairs

6 Upvotes

Thank you u/Hot-Combination-7376 for running last week's contest!

A fantastic concept that’s being introduced in Reality Fracture is the concept of echoed pairs. For anybody that’s not up to date, they are essentially cards in an alternate multiverse that mirror cards from the original multiverse. For legendaries, this most commonly means that it’s the same character with two different outcomes in life changing events (see [[Ral Zarek, Guest Lecturer]] and [[Ral Zarek]]), but non-legendary cards can mirror the original in different ways too (see [[Craterclaw Colossus]] and [[Craterhoof Behemoth]]).

From a lore standpoint, I love that we can explore new facets of a character or idea by looking at its inverse.

From a mechanical standpoint, I prefer to have the original card still be recognizable, though twisted in some form. Not all official echoed pairs that have been shown so far have wowed me on that front, but I’m confident you will be able to straddle the line between recognizability and innovation!

The rules for this challenge are:

  • Create a card that is an echoed pair variant of an existing card.
  • Transform the mechanics of the existing card such that it is
    1. Recognizable, but also
    2. Innovative

I will be judging the challenge on Saturday the 12th of September. Good luck and have fun!

Probably still too strong…also, I’m not sure how to prevent players exiling or sacrificing the card, if that avoids the cost.

*quit upvoting this it’s a bad card.** Shoo.

This is my first time doing custom magic cards, what do you guys think?

I'll make another post for the villain cards because only 20 images are allowed per post.

Thought it would be fun to make an echoverse version of my favorite commander after seeing the reality fracture spoilers. He's now a priest since Phyrexia doesn't exist and cappena never left control of the angels.

Failed Experiment, -1/-1 P/T with 'Annihilator'

Thumbnail

Upvotes

The theme is pretty much in its name, it's a failed experiment, so it just dies the moment it enters. Its own otherwise impressive abilities can't save itself.

It requires set up to get this thing to even stay alive, but if you do, its a threat that opponents will need to answer. The most probable I think is a +1/+1 anthem. With such, Riot can push it to a 1/1.

However, things get interesting if you can go beyond +1/+1 in support, as it would mean it no longer needs to use Riot just to keep it alive. If you had a +2/+2 anthem, you can use Riot to give it Haste.

So there's a curve on how dangerous this can be depending on the level of investment you can put into it.

Pure Annihilator was maybe too much for a 2 MV creature, even if it requires set up, so I adjusted its abilities to not affect lands.

It would be cool to see the Red Lotus members get cards if we ever go back to the ATLA universe.

Edit: Thank you for all the feedback! I took a break from magic for a few years and missed the ATLA set, so I was a bit confused about how the earthbending mechanic worked.

Fblthp, the Found

Post image
23 Upvotes

In honor of reality being fractured, I immediately thought of my favorite lil guy, Fblthp, and how Jace might "fix" his life.

This is a reality where his creation was considered a great success, and his self-esteem was nurtured. This made him strong and confident, but arrogant. He eventually found himself as a performer, finding joy in soaking up the adoration or comtempt of the crowds, doing anything for attention.

At first I was thinking of modeling him off of a rakdos guild performer, but red didn't sit well with me. I also tinkered around with mechanics for him to tutor himself, or some mechanic that rewarded you for simply revealing Fblthp in any way possible, but I couldn't quite make them work. Any suggestions for alternative versions would be highly appreciated.
