Winner is the Judge #914: Subclass Act!

5 Upvotes

Thanks to /u/Proteusmutabilis for hosting last week's contest.

Contest

Adventures in the Forgotten Realms introduced D&D concepts into Magic bringing two similar games by Wizards closer together. This set introduced Class enchantments. But there are still lots of character classes and subclasses that haven't gotten the Magic treatment!

This week, your challenge is to design an Enchantment — Class card representing a yet unseen D&D class or subclass.

Requirements

Your card must be an Enchantment — Class, using the existing Class enchantment mechanic.
Your card must represent an official D&D 5e or 5.5e class or subclass, or a well-known third-party class or subclass (such as Blood Hunter or Gunslinger). Please link the source material for third party works.
Your chosen class or subclass must not already have an official Magic Class enchantment representing it.
If for some reason the card name doesn't make the class you've chosen clear, please share what class you chose in the comment.

Feel free to take some artistic license with your card. The goal isn't to reproduce D&D mechanics exactly, but to flavorfully capture your chosen class.

Judging

What'll be tough about this challenge is flavorfully relating Magic to D&D while using useful mechanics and still adhering to constraints on color, mana cost, and text. It's... basically the whole challenge. A card that can balance all of that well will win.

Class enchantments have three sets of abilities, and I want to see how those abilities work together. Each level should be mechanically relevant and flavorfully appropriate, and the card as a whole should feel cohesive.

I'll also consider overall card design, including balance, elegance, and how naturally the card fits into Magic.

Final notes

There's a post by u/PyromasterAscendant that suggests a similar WitJ was run about 2 years ago, but I couldn't find it. If you had submitted a card to that one, please submit a different one here.

Please include the source of your chosen class or subclass, particularly if it's third-party material. You're also welcome to explain your design choices and how you've translated the D&D mechanics into Magic.

If you'd like feedback, please share that in your comment.

I'm not sure what site would be best for mocking up the card or if the new app here supports class enchantments but https://mtgcardbuilder.com appears to be able to mock up class enchantments accurately, at least. I'll be a bit more lenient with text space with this in mind.

I'm excited to see how you bring new D&D classes to life on a Magic card. Good luck! I'll be back to judge on Sunday, October 25.

A little showcase for a handful of cards from a draft set I've been working on for about a year or so (on and off). The set is only halfway done and isn't playtested at all, but I'd love feedback from other eyes. I plan to eventually finish it and try it out, as well as write a 5-10 chapter story to go along with it. I have also attempted to use completely non-AI art, and hopefully have thus far, but if something sticks out please point it out so I can look into it and possibly replace it.

Creatures with flank can only be blocked if all attacking creatures without flank are also blocked.

So you first have to block attacking creatures without flank in other words.

Terruk, the Brawler

9 Upvotes

For context, Scorch was a mechanic made to represent a faction of characters in a D&D game I had. TLDR, pyromancer knights w/ a Jedi-like societal structure who really hated the undead. Seeing as we will never get ‘exile-touch’ due to how absolutely busted it would be, I felt this was a decent go between. As for Terruk himself? Eh… big Gruul guy likes combat, go figure lol. Feedback would be appreciated!

/r/Custommagic is a subreddit for people to post their own custom MTG cards. Please read our rules and try to keep it to constructive criticism only.

RULES

All card renders including art must have correct and unambiguous artist credit at the bottom of the card in the correct position. Provide an artist's full name if it can easily be found, and additional information to disambiguate the artist from others. Mods may, at their discretion, make exceptions for missing, ambiguous, or insufficient credit if you message in advance with a link to the original art, and they approve the lack of artist credit.
Art credit belongs to its CREATOR. Image aggregators don't count. (E.g. Pinterest) Nor, mostly, do companies. (E.g. Riot Games doesn't make champion art; artists do) AI art must credit the engine used, and not a wrapper site. (E.g. MTGCardsmith is a wrapper.) Photos, screenshots, public domain art, royalty free art, etc. aren't exempt. Screenshots of movies/shows may credit the media by title/publishing company. Collages must credit each underlying artist and the assembler.
Any random art pieces (not included in card renders) must have accompanying artist credit. The only exception to this rule is if the poster messages the mods in advance and the mods approve the lack of artist credit.
All posts containing NSFW art must be marked as such. Posts made in poor taste, with unreasonably lewd art, or excessively gory art may be removed.
All users must follow Reddiquette and be civil with each other. Harassment and abuse are strictly not tolerated. Unconstructive, negative, or insulting brigading is harassment.
You may not post custom cards that you did not create, unless you credit the original creator in the post title. You may not post cards whose text is fully or primarily AI-generated. Additionally, posts that are primarily comprised of existing real cards or cards substantially similar to existing real cards will be removed. This includes alters and skinned cards.
Please don't make multiple consecutive posts. If you have multiple cards to share, put them in a single album. This helps give everyone a fair chance to be seen.
More specifically, users may only have one post on the front page of /new/ (i.e. within the most recent 25 submissions), or one post every twelve hours, whichever permits more posts. Mod-removed posts do not count towards this limit, but user-deleted posts do. If a mod views /new/, they should only see your name once.
Do not repost cards. Reposts will be permitted at the mods' discretion. A repost may be permitted if it is a) very substantially revised, b) substantially revised with community input or c) reposted in an album with new, unposted cards. Under a), leave a comment describing the exact revisions and link to the prior card image. Under b), describe the exact revisions and leave a comment with a link to the prior card discussion. Under c), there must be sufficient new content in the album.
Promotional content. Commercial, promotional, or financially-related posts require advance moderator approval. Please reach out to modmail with your proposed post.
Do not misrepresent submissions as cards from a real set. Do not include set codes for existing sets within post titles. (E.g. "[SNC] <Card name>") You may include custom set codes which do not collide with existing set codes. You may use set icons for any released set (i.e. not during spoiler season).

"It's been a few minutes, my post isn't showing up!"

You haven't done anything wrong — we have a semi-aggressive AutoModerator. Reach out to us here and we'll get your post approved as soon as we can. Don't delete your post or we won't be able to approve it to be seen :)

"What if I don't know the artist?"

Google has a very good reverse-image-search tool. Just upload the art that you used, and it will likely find the source!

"What if I still can't find it?"

Message the mods. Normally we can find it, we've gotten pretty good at it, and if we can't find it, we'll give you permission to use it without credit.
