Want to run a challenge?
So far, I haven't had any challenges that really look like they'd be super workable. For instance, "build a deck with 4x Koth and 4x Nissa" isn't great because it doesn't give the deckbuilders a lot of space to explore; a lot of the decks will end up looking similar. So keep that in mind as you try again. I also haven't heard from some folks that have mentioned they'd like to do this in the past. I am ALSO starting to suspect that something is wrong with my tappedout.net e-mail.
So if you're wanting to do a challenge, post your idea on my wall. At the end of this challenge, I'll review, and pick one that looks good. For now, another challenge from me, but don't worry, this one is easy. Or easier.
The rules
1 - Your deck must be legacy-legal.
2- Other than basic lands, your deck may use only mythic rare cards. (Remember, that rarity symbol on the right side of the card needs to be bronze/orange, not just yellow. Regular rares are not mythic rares.) You may use any card that was printed at mythic rare EVER, even if it was printed at a different rarity at another time, and even if that other time was a special printing like a From the Vault. (For instance, Mindslaver is legal because it is at mythic rare in Scars of Mirrodin, even though it was at rare during Mirrodin block). Just be careful - not all Mythic Rares are legacy legal!
3- You will be judged on the usual criteria of creativity, theme-adhesion, and effectiveness.
4- Deadline is 7:48am, December 7, 2010.
5- Limit three entries per user.
Good luck, and remember: PIT LORD.

It's been a while since I've participated in one of these, but I'm feeling spunky today.
My first entry is deck:mythic-burn.
November 23, 2010 11:08 a.m.
Let me get this straight, cards like card:Jester's Cap and Akroma, Angel of Wrath are legal because they were reprinted in an abnormal set as mythic rares? (FtV: Relics and Angels vs Demons respectively)
November 23, 2010 11:30 a.m.
oh also what about cards that where at one time mythic but are no longer. for instance Protean Hydra
November 23, 2010 1:35 p.m.
@Xander: Protean Hydra would be legal.
"You may use any card that was printed at mythic rare EVER, even if it was printed at a different rarity at another time..."

@Selsenay - Yes, if there's a card with printing that has the ol' mythic rare orange on it, then you use that card so long as it is legacy-legal. card:Jester's Cap and Akroma are legal for this challenge.
@Xander - What Selsenay said.

Sol Ring and Tinker are banned in Legacy right? Just wanna be sure or else they'd be in my entry....
Mythic artifacts!
November 23, 2010 2:41 p.m.
@exarkun809: Both of those cards are, in fact, banned in Legacy. If you ever have a question on legality, just look up the card on Gatherer.wizards.com
November 23, 2010 2:45 p.m.
@KC: Sounds good. Just wanted to make super sure that's what you were saying.
In that case, my three decks:
1) It means I leave you in anguish. 2) Offer me anything I ask for. 3) The trees are actually quite lovely.

Selsenay should get +10 bonus points for the Princess Bride references.
November 23, 2010 2:49 p.m.
@exarkun809: All of my challenge decks I have ever made have had Princess Bride references =D
November 23, 2010 2:54 p.m.
My take on big red for this challenge. big-and-mythic

Just noticed my earlier entry was, in fact, not legacy-legal. Just ignore it, and thanks to Selsenay for pointing that out.
November 24, 2010 3:06 a.m.
My first entry. Let's see if I get around to doing another one this time.

How about the "Build by Numbers" challenge?
The deck must be built from increasingly expensive spells. You can have 1 card with CMC zero, 1 with CMC one, etc... and if you want a card with CMC six you have to have a card with CMC 0 through 5 also.
Next, you build your dream hand with the deck and play against a goldfish. Fastest kill by turns wins. As a tiebreaker for those killing on the same turn a kill before draw is faster than a kill after draw is faster than a kill in combat which is faster than a kill post-combat. Second tiebreaker is margin of overkill where 1 damage = 0.5 poison = 0.25 mills/card draws. Any kill by "[player] loses the game" effects is counted as bringing your opponent to zero life.
