Quickening Meld 1W
Enchantment - Aura *Uncommon*
Meld (When ~ comes into play, target 2 creatures. This Aura comes into play enchanting both creatures. Sacrifice ~ when it enchants no creatures.)
If ~ is enchanting 2 creatures, those creatures gain +1/+1 and first strike.
If ~ is enchanting 1 creature, that creature gains +2/+2 and double Strike.

*Rules clarification*

When you cast this spell, you must target 2 creatures. If one of the creatures gain protection from white, it effectively, "Falls off", like an equipment would, but still stays on the other creature as a regular Aura. If that creature would become a legal target later, the aura wouldn't re-enchant it.

*Pros*

Much harder to be, "2 for 1"'d, more like 3 for 2'd if they kill both. In fact, only killing 1 of the creatures could potentially make the situation worse.

*Cons*

Unlike regular Aura's, this must have 2 legal targets when cast.

I submit my cycle of banding lands.




Fertile (When ~ enters the battlefield, you may put a fertility counter on it and up to 1 other target land. Lands with fertility counters on them gain “T: Add 1 mana of any color a land with a fertility counter on it could produce to your mana pool.”)

Not all of the images are perfect, but they are the best I could find. The idea is that they all have rays of multicoloured sunlight shining on them to help tie the flavour of the cycle together.

Playing a these basically nets you 2 dual lands on turn 2 even if you only have 1 of these in hand and with little drawback. With the way the ability is worded, you can even benefit from your opponent’s fertile counters…

Chain of Trouble 2BB
Enchantment - Chain (Rare)

Chain (Whenever an enchantment comes onto the battlefield under your control you may chain it with Chain of Trouble and all other enchantments chained this way. They remain chained for as long as you control at least two of them)

At the beginning of your upkeep you may have X target creatures get -X/-X, where X is the number of enchantments chained by Chain of Trouble.

I know the wording is kinda long, but I wanted to explain it in the best way possible. I think this way it's understandable.

Sorcery - Link
Chaining (G)(G) (As you cast a Link spell, you may discard this card from your hand and pay its chaining cost. If you do, add this card's effects to that spell.)
Search your library for two basic land cards and put them into play tapped.

The idea here is that it's similar to splicing onto arcane except you're piling in on one spell to make the effects cheaper. No card advantage, but the idea would be that Chaining costs would be quite a fair discount.

Just 3 examples of the polar ability, I'm thinking of a stone from each basic element, each contributing on its own to create the perfect metalic artifact.

Overall, I thought Shamedshadow’s card was really well designed, balanced, and playable, but balaviaris’ card had the ability with the most potential even though none of his individual cards would be enough to win.

I flipped a coin and Shamedshadow wins!

Awesome, thank you for judging! I honestly was not expecting my card to get anywhere close to a perfect score. Yay! I'll have the next CaC up ASAP.

I don't care about the mark I supposedly missed, I mean that you didn't even judge any of the cards, you just wrote down random numbers that don't mean shit.

GunsandDope has a point. A good judging is always nice to read. This was just random, like reading results of die rolls. You should have written some short explanations on WHY a card gets good or bad grades.

(sorry for my english) More than 20 cards take time to judge and to comment. That's why I think a fast CAC is a good CAC.

- You got more try to improve your talent as a card designer
- It's less work for the judge, so he could comment more his choices
- It's more fun for all, because 10 CAC in a month gives you more opportunity to win than 4 CAC.

That's why I think 3 days/15 cards may be a good timing.
