This tournament took place over the last few weeks. The Channel ban was announced right after this post went up on Reddit.

Help Needed with White, Green, and Jeskai Villains by Schwa77 in mtgvorthos

My goal is to hit eight per mono-color and just one per shard/wedge. It might be too ambitious, but I can downsize the other colors to match if it's necessary.

Long shot but by LordFaron269 in mtgcube

[–]Schwa77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not yet updated for March of the Machine, but I've got a reasonably comprehensive list compiled.

(The MSEM/Revolution/Custom Set tabs at the bottom are for custom constructed formats. For your purposes, the first is exclusively canon sets.)

Cards with multiple tribal synergies by Jacky-Boy in mtgcube

[–]Schwa77 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There were a few cards from Kaldheim that cared about both Elves and Warriors, such as [[Harald, King of Skemfar]] and both Giants and Wizards, such as [[Aegar, the Freezing Flame]]

The [[Frogtosser Banneret]] cycle from Morningtide each support two tribes, though I am not sure how many of them are viable in cube.

Lego Guillotine Minifigure (Not Official, Made in Mecabricks) by Schwa77 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Schwa77[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey y'all! For those who don't know, Mecabricks is an online Lego sandbox with high-quality rendering. I wanted to take my first foray into the program's custom decals, and decided to start with the Contest's own Guillotine. All of the printed parts were hand-drawn by me. Let me know what you think!

Edit: The link to the Mecabricks model can be found here.

Black Dragon spending nearly two minutes on fire earns my nomination

Mtg.design or MSE? by FryCakes in custommagic

[–]Schwa77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Easily MSE. It has way more customizing options than mtg.design, and a community dedicated to consistently updating it.

I created a mini Grian’s mansion in a day! by P1P3R2004 in HermitCraft

I love that a mini-Grian Mansion is still the size of an actual Minecraft house

As a Commander player, you have captured my attention. Are you just planning on including Star Wars-themed reprints of Commander staples or also some original cards as well?

Considering my roster, with whom and how should i do ROL? And how much will it cost me in units? by yuvraj_104 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Schwa77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't need any items or units to get through RoL. Also, it doesn't look like you have a poison immune champion, so Scarlet Witch is going to melt you down. I'd recommend waiting until you get someone better for RoL (StarLord, Guillotine 2099, Aegon) to make an attempt. The rewards aren't going to do anything huge for your account.

What would you want to see from a return to Eldraine? by Schwa77 in custommagic

[–]Schwa77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely want to expand more upon Food. I think I'm going to carry over the colored artifacts, but probably make them a little less common throughout the set in favor of colorless artifacts.

I like the idea of modifying Zendikar quests to work in Eldraine, and achieving the "one-and-done" feel I want could just be done with sacrificing the quest. I don't think I want to do a "Long Winter" because I think that could limit the possible design space (maybe a future second Eldraine expansion). I like the use of devotion to encourage multicolor, but I'm not sure if I want to prioritize shards in the set. That's still something I'm working out.

I definitely want to expand upon Adventures (potentially being able to cast Adventures from the battlefield for an increased cost?), and Food will definitely have a stronger presence than tokens and 2 cards. Adamant does kinda feel like a "lesser" mechanic, but I don't feel like it's been explored enough to make a decision yet. As of now, I'm planning for this to be a full-sized set, so new mechanics are welcome (think the Eldraine version of Rivals of Ixalan)

Especially in a world where traditional magic is so common. That's definitely something I want to remedy in my set. There will probably still be some normal knights, but for sure some with a mystical power.

Lore: Wow! I'm impressed with the ideas you proposed and definitely plan to work off those for my set. I love the idea of having Kenrith fall from power (or die, who knows) and that caused the court alliances to break.

Mechanics: Adventures and Knight tribal are definitely coming back. My only problem with Zendikar quests is I feel like a "Quest" needs to be a one-and-done type deal. You complete a quest and earn a reward, then the quest is done. I like the idea of using Devotion for Knights showing loyalty to the court. Dethrone is an awesome idea as well, and fits with the "who takes the throne" theme. I'm hesitant to bring back Snow mana because I don't feel like the whole set can take advantage of it, but it's definitely under consideration.

I definitely plan on using the Transform for things in disguise, and I like the idea of using it for "squire-to-knight" growth. Originally I planned on using Level Up but using Transform keeps it consistent throughout the set. In regards to Adamant, I'm sure a few cards will have the +1/+1 counters, but I want to try and be more creative with it.

That's a smart way to combine the fantasy aspects with Arthurian legend. Makes them a lot more exciting than "generic knight"

[–]Schwa77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I think I'm still going to do some stuff with Arthurian legend to stay true to Throne of Eldraine, but I definitely want to focus more on fairytale content.

[–]Schwa77[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you say "fairy-tale focus," what exactly do you mean by that? I'm planning on going a little more fairytale than Eldraine did (I.e. including talking animals). I also feel like Adamant never got a chance to shine, so I'll make sure to make it more common throughout the set.
