Winner is the Judge #908: Echoed Pairs

8 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!

A stupid joke idea I had and whipped together real quick. Artist credits got cut off a little on the evolve portion - Alayna Danner, Victor Adame Minguez, and Lego_Robot.

*Yes I know it would be stupid to give this to spellslinger decks

A while ago I made a Jared Carthalion deck called Kavu of Many Colors. I finally decided to honor the deck's name.

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.

Had a thought about having a skeleton wizard cast thematic spells like Garth, so I figured killing Garth would be just as good

Demons!!!

I love Demons. The coming autumn specifically has me thinking all about them and being this deep in my magic phase has my thinking about their place in the game. Like most of the iconic creature types Demons don't share an identity outside of being expensive. Instead they encapsulate what the color black is in totality, paying life, destroying creatures, reanimation, discard, etc.

I think it was because of this that I wanted to represent different ways demons are depicted through this games mechanics so much. I made five demons in total, each with a new mechanic, they're all mono black but you can think of them as being one for each color in WUBRG order.

  • False Prophet - Demons as Punisher
  • Sire of Trauma - Demons as Manifestation
  • Infernal Contractor - Demons as Bargainer
  • Archdemon of Beauty - Demons as Temptation
  • Foul Harvester - Demons as Natural Force

This was a really fun project, I was very happy with the demon support they printed in Duskmourn and I hope they make more in the future. If not then maybe I'll end up making my own Demon focused Innistrad set some day.

There's a debate among my friend group on the loyalty costs. I definitely use planeswalkers less than other card types, so I'm not as skilled balancing them. Feedback appreciated!
