I would like to introduce all of you to a member of the Design Team, Xander574, who will be going over our latest card creation challenge.
Our Irindu Planeswalker Winner
Hello everyone. First off, I would like to apologize for the wait between challenges. In the last couple of weeks with M11 spoilers, vacations, and EPIC archenemy duels the design/creative teams have been pretty busy. But, with the release of M11 on the immediate horizon, we are all once again inspired to make our own MTG set. So, let's get back to it.
And now, the time for which you have all been waiting, after two months of deliberation, voting, and craziness, the negashards first planeswalker and Irindu's Champion, the Molder of Bodies, The Captain of Clones, the Master of CHANGING STUFF INTO OTHER STUFF, the one the only! BAGAN, THE LIFE SHAPER has been chosen as the Irindu Planeswalker.
We decided that other than the name (which was previously Babaganoosh), to keep everything the same. The major issue seemingly being that his middle ability is too powerful. But if looked into, if you use his second ability on the turn he enters the battlefield, it is just a more difficult to cast Clone, which has the same converted mana cost as Bagan.
So, congratulations go to squire1 for winning the first card creation challenge.
The Irindu Blue Rare Challenge
Now, as all things must FLOW and continue, it is time for the next challenge.
The next challenge will be to create three of the rares for the Irindu shard. Obviously, there are some guidelines.
1) We are looking for three rares: one Creature, one Enchantment, and one Instant/Sorcery.
2) They must all be Blue.
3) Each person can only submit four entries (not four entries per card type, FOUR TOTAL ENTRIES). If you submit more than four, we will only take the last four submissions and ignore the earlier ones.
4) The cards will be judged based on four categories: Effectiveness, Set Cohesion, Balance, and Creativity. Each category will be worth 10 points each.
Here are a couple of helpful things:
1) Remember that the only keywords that can appear on Irindu cards are the evergreen" keywords (deathtouch, defender, double strike, enchant, equip, first strike, flash, flying, haste, indestructible, intimidate, landwalk, lifelink, protection, reach, regenerate, shroud, trample, and vigilance). In addition to these evergreen keywords, the keyword that is exclusive to Irindu, Flow (Flow COST: As you draw this card, you may reveal it and cast it for its flow cost. If you do, draw a card.), may be used.
2) We love to see people create their own physical pictures of the cards that they created. Often, they are great looking and really cool, and I encourage you to share them with us. But for our convenience, if you can also type the information directly into the comment, it makes our lives easier. You won't be marked down for not doing this, but copying and pasting text saves a lot of time compared to typing it all up from scratch.
3) Just a reminder, the winning cards may be changed during play testing. Be it mana cost or other small things to make the set balanced, your original creation may not be EXACTLY what it was originally, but I promise that we will try our hardest to keep the card as close to its origins as possible.
HAVE FUN CREATING!
It Seems Introductions Are in Order
Lastly, here's a little about myself. Because this is the boring part, I left it till last. My name is Xander574. Ive been playing Magic since Tempest, and I have been a member of Tappedout.net for over 9 months. As soon as I heard that Tappedout was creating a set, I jumped at the chance to be a part of the Design Team. I guess my qualifications for doing this would be that up until recently, I worked on the R&D team for Maui Toys, Inc. and have been going to school for game design for the last year in Los Angeles. Other than that, I like moon-lit walks on the beach and pina coladas.
EDIT: Scry is not an evergreen keyword, so it has been removed from the list.
mistergreen527 says... #2
Yeah, I guess it's actually closer to a nonkicked Rite of Replication , except that it's sorcery speed. It's still harder to cast though.

DeckBuilder345 says... #3
It would seem that the list of evergreen terms is a bit overbroad, for the purposes of making blue only cards. For instance (deathtouch, reach, regenerate,trample, and even lifelink) are all not typically included in blue cards. Which leaves the evergreen list looking more like
defender, double strike, enchant, equip, first strike, flash, flying, haste, indestructible, intimidate, landwalk, , protection, , shroud, , vigilance, and the newly added scry.
With some of those being inherently more "blue" than others like (Flying, flash, islandwalk, and scry)

Brief Description: Irindu the the plane of change. Specializing in card drawing.
Long Description: The shard of Irindu is a place saturated in green mana that has been spurred on by red mana and blue mana to twist all aspects of life and wizardry. This strange landscape consists of constantly changing rivers, bizarre vegetation, and mutated creatures. The Flow is ever-present here. The Flow is a raw and surging type of mana that travels through the landscape and the creatures living here, which it changes in both frightening and beneficial ways. The environment and creatures here are in a constant state of change. Something as simple as changing color would be considered mundane here. These unusually sudden evolutions could mean that one day you're hunting your prey and the next day that same prey is hunting you.
Creature types: Beast, Dragon, Elemental, Human, Mutant, Shapeshifter, Sphinx, Weird, Wizard, and Wurm
Keywords so far: FLOW, Trample,haste, Flying
July 9, 2010 3:09 p.m.
Do these cards have to be mono blue or can they be multicolored as long as one of those colors is blue?
July 9, 2010 3:40 p.m.
mistergreen527 says... #9
Very true. Using keywords that don't fit blue can be done, but the card will probably be docked points in set cohesion, as we want the set to feel like it belongs in the world of other Magic cards.
You're right. Edit to my original edit has been made.
@IronHead:
Excellent question. The cards for this challenge are mono-blue. Multicolored challenges will be later on.

Exhaustive Research 3UUUU
Enchantment
All Flow costs are increased by U
Whenever a player casts a spell by paying its Flow cost, that player may draw a card.
Discard a card: Look at the top two cards of your library. Put one on the bottom of your library and the other on the top of your library. Any player may use this ability.
Flowcaster's Gambit U
Sorcery
Every spell you draw this turn has Flow: XU, where X is the number of spells you have played this turn.
Whenever you cast a spell this turn by paying its flow cost draw a card.
Whenever you draw a nonland card this turn you must cast it by paying its Flow cost.
If you draw a land card, or a card whose Flow cost you cannot pay, discard your hand, sacrifice all permanents you control, exile your graveyard, and end your turn.
Spells you control are uncounterable this turn.
Draw a card.
They both seem a bit wordy, but I'm not sure how else I could convey their effects. I'm also not entirely sure about how to balance the casting costs.
The 'uncounterable' bit in Flowcaster's Gambit is to prevent you from, say, Spell Pierce ng your way out of it, but maybe that's unneccessary.
Also: drawing a Flowcaster's Gambit through Flowcaster's Gambit? Pretty sick (though likely to end very quickly). Perhaps it needs "A deck cannot have more than one copy of Flowcaster's Gambit."?

First Strike, Islandwalk
Bagan's Golem may block any number of creatures.
Sacrifice a Creature: Bagan's Golem gets +x/+0 until end of turn, where x is the sacrificed creature's toughness.
3/2
Flavor Text: "One day, Bagan asked himself 'What do you get when you cross a Homarid, an Octopus, a Fish, and a Wizard?' All of Irindu regrets that he found an answer."
because seriously: crabs / homarids deserve ONE awesome card, and crabs ought to have first strike. I know that 'Horror' is traditionally a black subtype, but I think it really fits this creature -- sort of Bagan's pet project / forgotten experiment. Dude is the lifeshaper, after all.

CharonSquared says... #76
Quick comment: I know these cards are supposed to be mono-blue, but there are a ton of them that have so many blue mana symbols in their casting costs and/or abilities that they'd be unplayable outside of mono-blue decks. I'm not sure that fits the theme of a three-color shard.
July 13, 2010 5:48 a.m.
Jarrod_0067 says... #77
@ CharonSquared - who knows? there may be a nice multicolor land; or a blue version of Dark Ritual ; or even a card that adds blue mana when you play a flow cost by the time the set is finished. Personally, I dont know why black gets all the mana boosts. I want to see a Dark Ritual for all colors

oh okay. Lesser Vigaan was supposed to cost 5URG. I hope there isn't a problem with me re-entering it later.
July 15, 2010 8:09 a.m.
No YOUR BANNED FOR SUBMITTING IT...Kiding kiding, of course you are allowed to resubmit cards. In fact there are allot of cards here that are really good but will fit better in one of the other two blue based shards. So i would hope they would be submited in those shards, (i cant tell you which ones though =(
Its not even going to be allowed to be used BUT

You may choose not to untap Puppet Master during you upkeep.Puppet Master can not target himself.

Ive had this idea for a while now (creature with both a tap & untap ability) This is my first try at making it well balanced. The options here are amazing the thought of it just feels twisted. Some play testing would have to be done to work out the casting cost but 1UUU seams about right to me.

@Aldarion - you should change the text a little to be more like Guard Gomazoa . Essentially, "Prevent all damage that would be dealt to Water Lotus" and maybe make it a defender too.
July 17, 2010 10:02 p.m.
leon_raymond says... #112
@Aldarion-I really like your Water Lotus, and i agree with Jarrod_0067 that the text should be worded differently. Also, I think streamflow should cost 2UU. This will make it more playable in multi-coloured decks and I think it should be a bit more expensive, but i still think it's a very flavourful card

@shaistystone
I like a flow trap idea, but trap's are a counter to an opponents play, so perhaps it should be when an opponent casts a card for its flow cost, or at least whenever A flow clost is paid? Not exactly a trap the way it's worded now.
