April CCL entry

Added this for entry to a contest

I only spent 10 minutes (and 8 of those was the art), so am not expecting miracles.

New Templated Cards

I was feeling really happy with the new template I had been plodding away with over the last week or so:

Karn (demonstration of the template.. the art's pretty rough:)


... I was really happy to settle this one:

Side note: This was my long-standing AD&D character (Forgotten Realms). She made a guest appearance as an epic character at the finale of the Third Campaign (defending the fortress of Kentaro and the dead goddess Ravinia).





... and then THIS occurs:
(from the Rise of the Eldrazi mechanics page)

I was hoping to do a template for the Eldrazi when I have a spare moment (i.e. ages from now).. These new cards look exciting though. Will be a challenge to template :)

Coindrafting Card Synopsis

Sample coindrafting card:

1. High-resolution, extended art (all artists fully acknowledged).
2. Coin-value in the bottom-left.
3. Coin value calculation in the copyright slot (this can be hard to see in most physical prints though).
4. New-style frames.
5. Post M10 Oracle text.
6. Rarity to match position in the cube (see below).

Rarity symbols:

• Mythic rare: Power 9, Timetwister, Contract from Below.
• Rare: Tutors, mass removal, fast mana.
• Uncommon: Legendary permanents (including planewalkers).
• Common: All other cards.
  

Unbelievable ...

... how easy setting these things up is. Wow.

I imagined this would be trickier than it was in 2001. And unlike things I build, this one works.

More to come.
