 Deckbuilding
Contest: Class-Wars!
1/25/08 - About two years ago Streetz ran a
class-based contest
designed to use a limited pool of Tribal based around the D&D style
classes. I speak of this only because Morningtide brings us to an
interesting crossroad; while it focuses heavily on the tribal lines
created by Lorwyn, it also is the first set to really ever focus on the
class aspect of creatures. As a result you're seeing numerous Faerie
Rogues, Goblin Warriors, and others all designed along the tribal lines
created by Lorwyn and the class lines being defined in Morningtide.
Which brings me to the contest... ~Cashew~

Must Have Theme Contest
Wrap-up!
8/4/06 - Some
time ago, back in 2003, I posted a deckbuilding contest called “Must
Have Theme.” In this contest I challenged visitors of MDV to create a
tribal theme deck. The deck had to involvea creature type that I didn’t
have in the Deck Database at the time. Since then, MDV’s deck database
has grown significantly and I can’t really compare these decks to the
Database anymore. However, I thought it would be fun to re-visit this
contest and proclaim a winner.
Read on!
