Hey there Tappedouters! This month is another split prize.

So what do they win Bob

Well thanks to yeaGO and our partners at Cool Stuff Games, each of these two players will be receiving a $50 gift certificate to www.coolstuffgames.com! Please enjoy, buy some cards, build a deck, you know...do that stuff that magic players do.

As an additional prize that I started in July, the winners get the honor of being represented in cards designed by me. So exciting!!! (sarcasm)

Who are the winners

Both of this months winners are very active members of the community. They are our top commenters for this month. They have been commenting up a storm. I have been seeing each of them everywhere these days. So here they are, Karnage and bman5604

Karnage bman5604
On Karnage's account he aligns himself with the colors red and black. He listed his favorite cards as Vendetta and Massacre Wurm. The theme I saw here was creature removal including life loss. And since the word "carnage" means "the slaughter of a great number of people" I figured that it should be a mass removal potential that involved life loss. So i figured that using a fight mechanic is appropriate for the potential slaughtering of many and here is the card. So bman5604 told me that he was in general a fan of black cards and overall his favorite card was Phyrexian Obliterator. He also informed me that his handle is short for Birdman. I decided to take both of those concepts and combine them. This card is my take on a blue and black version of the predecessor of Phyrexian Obliterator, Phyrexian Negator. The blue felt necessary for the bird aspect and it also helped to add an interesting twist on the Negator's mechanic.


Hope you guys like the cards.

I really like the subtle detail of the fireball blending into the swamp skull and the island raindrop blending into the swamp skull on both cards...

I nearly overlooked it at first glance.
