Artwork Challenge - Design a card to fit the artwork

Custom Cards forum

Posted on Feb. 24, 2022, 1:06 a.m. by TypicalTimmy

Thought of this earlier. As with the Card Creation Challenge, users here issue a challenge and other users attempt to complete it. There are two differences here:

  • Rather than completing an above-challenge and then issuing the next challenge, site users will be able to respond to any challenge within the thread at any point.
  • You need not issue a new challenge with your completion.

So how does this work? Well, during your time on the internet, if you find interesting artwork, go ahead and drop a link or an image. Other users can see the artwork and, if they feel inspired by it, can attempt to make a card to fit it.

  • The challenge will work best if the only information given is the image itself. Let the users feel inspired by it. Do they want to make a legendary sorcery? A saga? A Planeswalker who transforms into a land? This will keep the thread uniquely different enough to maintain it, and makes it far more interesting to see how different users come up with their own unique designs based off of the same information.

The card can be purely in text format, or can be designed using any of the MTG card software programs out there. To properly format your post, please cite the page number and post number. For example, Page 3, #27. We don't need to cite the poster of the image, but you may if you'd like to credit them with it.


Here's one to kick this thread off:


How do I link URLs and images? First, you need permissions enabled. If you are a newer, active user, please ask        for these to be enabled.

To link a URL as a hyperlink, format as follows:

To link a URL as an image, format as follows:

Whenever an opponent plays a creature, if a creature with the same name is in play, those creatures each get -3/-3 until end of turn.

If I see some fun art, I'll drop it in.

Further concern, it's probably safest to keep everything suitable for public audiences. Sure, Enthralling Victor and Reversal of Fortune have some skin, and Macabre Waltz and Victim of Night bring some gore, but I've seen some "specialty" sleeves and playmats that go a bit too far for my tastes in both categories, and there's plenty more beyond those. Obligatory "not a prude" and this community seems pretty good at self-piloting, but I'll be the boring one and ask that everything stays reasonably SFW.

Self-policing, not self-piloting.

I read that as “Hanna-Barbera” and got SUPER pumped for a Thundarr card
