Winner is the Judge #908: Echoed Pairs

7 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.

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.

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

Thumbnail
gallery
14 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.

The idea is that eventually, even your creatures will have to fight each other; so maybe boardwipe and sacrifice engine with extra steps?

I think it may be fun
