Custom Interpretations Challenge!
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on Aug. 8, 2022, 4:05 p.m. by TheOfficialCreator
Hello everyone! I'm here with a deckbuilding/custom card creation hybrid challenge for you all that I came up with today.
First, there will be a prompt posted in this thread and edited into the post (maybe we can do it monthly? We'll see how the first month goes). Then, without looking at anybody else's submissions for the prompt, make a custom commander card inspired by the prompt. This can be a basic legendary creature, a planeswalker, or even a partner set or background set if you feel so inspired.
Then, make a deck using the custom card as your commander. To do this, just put the custom card in the description of the deck, using either the image attachment tool or T/O's built-in MTG symbols.
Finally, you can post the deck's link in this thread for everyone to see!
There's no ranking system for these, so just have fun!! I'm excited to see what you all come up with.
The first prompt is Candle.
I'm always up for a challenge like this. I'll see if I can get something in tomorrow.

Didn't put in the time today to make a deck, but here's a commander.
Agaturi, the Ghost Light
Legendary Creature - Human Cleric
Whenever a Spirit creature you control attacks, Agaturi deals 1 damage to target creature or planeswalker and you gain 1 life.
Whenever a Spirit creature you don't control blocks, Agaturi deals 1 damage to that creature and you gain 1 life.
: Target creature becomes a Spirit until end of turn.
2/2
The art focuses on the candle Agaturi holds. Agaturi's face, chest, and forearm are brightly lit. In the background, faint ghostly shapes of people and animals swirl out of mist or smoke, seemingly attracted to or directed by the candle.

Is it fair to modify the commander during deck construction? This thread isn't as active as I hoped...

How did the commanders end up so similar?
