was wondering how commons and uncommons are going to be chosen for this set is it going to be the same as how the rares are chosen or something different.

well either way heres my first entry: Delving Slime

Stockpiling Bagworm

http://tappedout.net/users/NecroBane/concept-cards/stockpiling-bagworm/

If X was paid, that creature's controller may put X 1/1 Leech tokens with wither onto the battlefield under their control.

@xeratheenigma:

Uncommons and commons will be done differently than the rares. Here's the current plan: there will be a couple of challenges to create an entire uncommon cycle. Then, the Head Team will add uncommons to the set based the mechanics on cards that users submitted, but didn't make it into the set. Any remaining uncommon space will be filled via challenge, but these challenges will have more guidance, likely requiring the fulfillment of specific card archetypes. The commons will be created solely by the Head Team. However, depending on how successful the uncommon cycle challenges are, a couple common cycles may be added via challenge.

There are also more mythic rares that need to be created. The way these will be created is currently a secret. I'm personally excited about it though and I think the community will like it as well. :)

okay thanks for clearing that up i was just curious because nothing had been mentioned about the commons and uncommons

@IronHead

Force of Nature already exists. just sayin'.

I'm gonna have to go with Drop Bear here as my first entry. Even though Bear isn't a real common Ulgris creature type -- feel free to change the creature type to something more appropriate. Spider?

entry number 2: sorcery:

Frenzied Melee

enchantment:

moldspawn

and finally, a green psuedo-boardwiper:

Return to Earth

G

Enchant World

Circle of Life

Sacrifice creature token gain 1 life.Any player may play this only during his upkeep.

Greater Blight Widow 4GG

Creature - Spider

First strike, wither, reach

Greater Blight Widow can only block creatures with flying.

3/6

Why 3/6 for 6? It's a dragon killer. 5/5 dragon attacks you, this thing beats the poop out of it. First it weakens it to a 2/2, then it blocks it with 4 toughness to spare - enough to survive a Lightning Bolt

Thinking of making it cost less... not sure

Crap, change the name of Force of Nature to Nature's Surge.

King Snake 5GG

Creature - Snake

Forest Walk

GG: Target creature blocks King Snake if able.

BBB: Target creature blocking King Snake gets -0/-2

5/8

Bog Spawn [Re-edit]

http://tappedout.net/users/NecroBane/concept-cards/bog-spawn/

@IronHead King snake's second ability won't work if the defending player controls a forest. You know that, right?

I wasn't sure if mono-green meant activated abilities couldn't have black or blue costs, but here it is anyway:

King Poison Dart 5G

Legendary Creature - Frog

Flash, Deathtouch

Frogs you control have "UB, T: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. Draw a card."

3/5

It's really a blue/black creature in the form of a green creature. Thought it would make for interesting game-play.

Enchantment: Spreading Mold

Creature: Poison Treefrog

And by "treefrog," I mean a massive organism that's part tree and part frog.

@Jarrod_0067 I'm assuming its like every other create a card contest where mono green only means casting cost. Mana symbols in other areas are fine as long as they are of the appropriate shard.

@Jarrod_0067:

IronHead is correct. You may have blue and/or black mana symbols in the rules text, just not in the casting cost.

Enchantment: Symbiotic Ooze

The final rule might have some wording issues.

Decided to completely redo King Snake.

Creature - Snake

Intimidate

UU: Tap target creature

GGG: King Snake deals damage equal to its power to target creature

5/8

King Snake's second activated ability should say target tapped creature.

Creature: Engulfing Slime

Om nom nom counters.

Ulgris sounds like a plane that would have infect. I mean, isn't infect just wither with poison counters?

Verdant Expansion

Cost: XGGG

Sorcery

Search your library for up to X Basic Land cards and put them into play tapped

A year's growth on Irindu is barely a week's growth on Ulgris

Cost: 4GG

Creature - Leech

Wither, Vigilance

1G: Regenerate Acrid Leech

P/T: 4/5

Cost: 2GG

Enchantment

At the beginning of your upkeep, put a 1/1 Black and Green Worm token with wither into play

Guardvark

Cost: 2G

Creature - Aardvark

Reach, Flash

Sacrifice Guardvark: Destroy target creature with Flying

1/3

5G

Sorcery

Wild Kingdom

Creatures you control this turn gain forestwalk

kicker-4- Creatures you control this additionally gain swampwalk and islandwalk

@dude1818 yes, infect could fit. But we had decided on what keywords each of the negeshards would have before infect was released. It would also be copying scars, and we're more original than that.

@Yourman Wicked idea, but i think it costs too much. 10 mana for a "finisher" is fairly expensive. Most games don't last that long. I'd say 3G for the cost and 3 for the kicker. But that's just me. Epic card, i must say

my third entry is: Fetid Evolution

the mana cost could possibly be lowered

Ulgris' Destroyer

A fungus thing that ruins things.

http://tappedout.net/users/brianguymtg/concept-cards/ulgris-destroyer/

1GGG

Malaria Mosquito Swarm

Creature-insect

Flying

Malaria Mosquito Swarm neither gives nor receives combat damage.

If Malaria Mosquito Swarm attacks and goes unblocked defending player skips the main phases of his next turn.

0/1

2nd entry

Thick-Skinned Cobra

Enchantment

Inspired Growth enters the battlefield with one time counter for each -1/-1 counter on all creatures.

Xyrnix, the Hatcher

Legendary Creature - Insect Horror

4GG

Xyrnix, the Hatcher gets +1/+1 for each 1/1 creature on the battlefield.

Whenever you cast a blue spell, put a 1/1 green and blue insect creature with flying into play.

Whenever you cast a black spell, put a 1/1 green and black insect creature with wither into play.

3, Sacrifice a creature: Xyrnix, the Hatcher gains trample and deathtouch until the end of turn.

2/3

@exarkun809 I love Nature's Silence, Nature's Scream! although it would be very difficult to play in a multicoloured deck because of it's cost but i love the concept. Unnatural Nature is very cool as well. Powerful yet balanced. And Xyrnix is awesome. My only query is if it needs deathtouch in the sacrifice ability. I feel it could be replaced with a better keyword or removed completely (It would still be powerful enough). Regardlessly, I still think it's awesome

@leon_raymond Thanks! I like all these challenges, but this one is real tough/fun trying to make mono-green AND Ulgris concepts.

I'm fine with altering the details in the final round if they make it (I always have trouble coming up with the right costs and abilities), so long as people like the core concepts of the cards.

4th one to come.

Ulgris' Scorn

GG

Creature-plant

Defender

During your upkeep, put a spore counter on Venom-Spitting Venus.

0: Remove 3 spore counters from Venom-Spitting Venus to distribute up to four -1/-1 counters among any number of flying creatures.

2/3

"The dark canopy of Ulgris provides not refuge, but imprisonment from safer skies beyond."

@vic I know you're gonna hate this but the ability "0: Remove 3 spore counters from Venom-Spitting Venus to distribute up to four -1/-1 counters among any number of flying creatures." would be better worded "Remove 3 spore counters from Venom-Spitting Venus: Put up to four -1/-1 counters divided as you choose among any number of target creatures with flying."

@vic: worse yet I'm pretty sure you missed the deadline with that submission so it probably won't count.

@Jarrod_0067

Agreed.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I'm old-school, and I went with the wording from old buddy Thorn Thallid , since the two critters probably play softball together at family reunions. You're right about the rest of it, too. Again, I went old school. I was in a mood. : )
