February 2009 - MCC - Disscussion

[Cashew]

Get your disscus on.

[ThunderHog]

Does Haunt count? Technically, it does something as it leaves play...

[Cashew]

Sure it can Haunt something.

Only problem is it can't do anything else per this restriction:
"Your card may have no other abilities than an effect as it leaves play."

[CoglineErro]

Very interesting. I really hope I make the main round as I think I will enjoy that part. It'll be interesting to see how this is judged.

[ThunderHog]

Oh... I must say that that is a lame restriction...

[death by aggro]

Oh... I must say that that is a lame restriction...

Clearly then you don't mind if someone else wins following said restriction:p?

[CoglineErro]

For future reference, is it dqable if we use you an instead of clause, such as "If blah would be rfg/sent to graveyard/returned to hand, instead do this crazy thing"?

[Cashew]

For future reference, is it dqable if we use you an instead of clause, such as "If blah would be rfg/sent to graveyard/returned to hand, instead do this crazy thing"?

If done correctly it may be acceptable, if not done correctly it may cost you drastically. The goal is to have your card do something as/when it leaves play, so it best not still be in play after your "instead clause"


Oh... I must say that that is a lame restriction...
It's a necessary restriction. Remember, how last month worked. There's a good chance your card will be drastically different after the qualifer? What the twist or change-up is will only be known to me and whoever takes it over.

[CoglineErro]

You judges and your vague statements...putting mine up artless, comments pwetty pwease?

[3cheesed]

Sure cog, here's a comment.

I like it; actually I quite like it. Pretty good concept, though without art I don't get the flavour all that much. Aren't apprentices usually mages, which are usually tied into blue?

Also, you might want to change the "removed from game" clause to "removed from play". There'd be some confusion there =P.

EDIT: "It's a necessary restriction. Remember, how last month worked. There's a good chance your card will be drastically different after the qualifer? What the twist or change-up is will only be known to me and whoever takes it over." I have a feeling that the twist will be would be something along the lines of changing the flavour of your card and any other necessary features to turn it into a "Whenever it comes into play" card. This would also make sense because theres a new judge coming in, and since the "leaving play" idea was from Cashew leaving, the twist would logically be "coming into play" because of the new judge.

My 2 cents.

Highly logical, and perhaps to some degree you are correct.

[CoglineErro]

Apprentice Necromancer, Nightscape Apprentice, and Overeager Apprentice?


Also, you might want to change the "removed from game" clause to "removed from play". There'd be some confusion there =P.
No, it can't be removed from play, and this activates strictly when it is put in the removed from game area, not when its removed from play.

[Eldros]

Well let's say that you removed the card from the game with a Sickening Shoal, it didn't left play, but instead it left your hand to be cheated in play. I don't know if it will be a problem though.

Also, Cashew said :


If done correctly it may be acceptable, if not done correctly it may cost you drastically. The goal is to have your card do something as/when it leaves play, so it best not still be in play after your "instead clause"

which I assume, it can't be brought back into play with is ability. And it is exactly what your card does.

[CoglineErro]

My card does leave play however, he is saying that the card needs to leave play at some point. He didn't say it cannot return to play. Is that correct Cashew?

[GG Crono]

Rejoice, for I have made a marginally less sucktastic expansion symbol. Learning how to import images was simple enough. Making one that didn't look like a pile of expletive took some doing.

[MageofBlackness]

Is it alright to format your card as "If CARDNAME is put into a graveyard from play/rfg/returned to it's owner's hand, you may (pay a cost). If you do, (some effect happens)"?

[Punkrockanarchymagic]

Edit: My card is up. Anyone who comments on it will recieve some comments on their card in return, eventually.

[Cashew]

He didn't say it cannot return to play.

I won't say that, but I will say that reinventing Blink, Persist, Regeneration or Indestructible is not the best idea, nor will win you any creativity points unless you discover something revolutionary.


Is it alright to format your card as "If CARDNAME is put into a graveyard from play/rfg/returned to it's owner's hand, you may (pay a cost). If you do, (some effect happens)"?

That's fine, your wording is off, but I got the gist. A triggered effect allowing for a paid ability is a-ok.

[SephHexenWR]

Hey all, newcomer here. A friend (not sure of his username here) directed me to the card contest, and I had a card I liked already designed that met a lot of the requirements! I dig it when that happens.

That said, I'm kind of nervous. There seems to be a lot of restrictions in place, so if I did anything wrong, do tell me so that I can revise it, at least if it's auto-DQ'd for any reason. =3

[Punkrockanarchymagic]

@CoglineErro: I really want to see you card have the text "from anywhere" after "removed from the game".

[kingez36@hotmail.co.uk]

rite feedback time guys an gals (if there are any out there)..
My favourites at the moment are abyssal apprentice and aethermage tricksters as they use an original way to leave play, howver i think with the apprentice is doing to much, with the losing life as well as the discard and draw although i like how it fits into the theme of sacrificing apprentices.

athermage trickster is a nice balanced jonny sort of card (the best sort of card in my opinion)

aether blood hydra, i can see how its a good card but i personally dont like it, i no it is a 6 mana 2/2 which means it lets it off the hook with an explosive ability, but i am a white player and even progentius dies to a wrath of god.

Mindspark mage is one of those happy wholesome cards withs its small but nice effect and i really like it :) (and i really like the flavour text)

Gateway to insanity= :2thumbs:

Ambitious apprentice, in my eyes is just reinventing blink and isnt the most exciting although i think the whenever ^^^ is removed from the game is quit original.

sealed gate of aesir is a land that doesnt produce mana.... and that sort of kills it a little bit for me

Mirror guardian, boring as hell and clanky and i would have much rather have posted the first card i ever posted in this competition, back when i didnt have a clue bout power level and wording and completly screwed up a good idea...
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/kingez36/KarethofEternalRage.jpg

BOOM BOOM ;)

theres my :twocents: and just remember i really dont have a clue what im talking about (and im incredibly reliant on brackets)

anyway thats all ive got

[final_press]

Maybe a zombie barbarian? Just a thought. And you need to cap the start of the flavour text, and uncap the "That". Other than that, I quite like it.

Thanks for the compliments, btw.

[Drathro]

Hey, you guys want some random feedback?

Everybody:
I'm liking the cards in general so far. Keep up the good work!

Luther:
I suspect you will lose points for not specifying what the destination zone is.

Punkrockanarchymagic:
You dont have a destination zone, but you do have a specific type of "leaves play," so you might get away with it anyway.

SephHexenWR:
Making your land Legendary was an excellent touch. If you have an extra one in hand, you can play it, lose two lands, and tutor a card to the top of the library.

kingez36:
You found some awesome art for Mirror Guardian!

[evol_intentions]

kingez36:
You found some awesome art for Mirror Guardian!

in my opinion shes not really doing much to guard the mirror but more smashing the mirror, she didnt get much training when they recruited her

[SephHexenWR]

sealed gate of aesir is a land that doesnt produce mana.... and that sort of kills it a little bit for me

Yeah, it's a bit of a bummer, but the only other way to make it tap for mana without breaking the contest rules would be to give it a basic land type, and that's potentially unbalancing. Also, flavor-wise, what is a "Sealed Gate"? A swamp? A plains? None of the basic land types really fit it.


SephHexenWR:

Yupyup! =D

[Drathro]

Wow, I didn't even notice this. Talk about missing the forest for the trees!


thanks but in my opinion shes not really doing much to guard the mirror but more smashing the mirror, she didnt get much training when they recruited her
Maybe if the creature was an Illusion instead of a Human, it could be interpreted that the skeleton in the art is actually the mirror guardian...

[Luthervamplord]

@ Drathro - Leaves play is a legal term; see Champion mechanic for proof. Or even Oblivion Ringfor a straight-text ability.

[Cashew]

He's actually referring to this Restriction put on the contest.

4. You must specify a single specific way it leaves play.
Generic "When ~ leaves play" will not work. You must indicate going to a specific area such as "to your graveyard", "returned to a player's hand", or "removed from the game."

Basically your entry will DQ as is :)

[CoglineErro]

Why again can Sealed Gate not be an artifact?

[Kamahl's Disciple]

My card is up now guys, feel free to comment on it.

[CoglineErro]

Ummm, Kamahl...That's copyrighted art from Magic's own belt. That was token art for Onslaught elementals...do you really have permission to use it?

[Kamahl's Disciple]

Ummm, Kamahl...That's copyrighted art from Magic's own belt. That was token art for Onslaught elementals...do you really have permission to use it?

I got this from Anthony S. Water's own DevArt page, he said this was one of two pieces he commissioned for the onslaught block, but this one never made it, the insect token he did though, so this one isn't copyrighted by Wizards.

[SephHexenWR]

Why again can Sealed Gate not be an artifact?

Good question! One I will answer by saying, "The original version had 'T: Add {1} to your mana pool, but I can't include that because of the rules."

And then I'll further say because it's also costing you two land drops for a basically free tutor.

Also having it as a land allows it to interact with many cards (such as Crucible of Worlds and Worm Harvest) and be fetchable by certain others (see: Knight of the Reliquary) that I feel better suits its function than "oh look I can use Trinket Mage and Tinker and..!" That is, I am a huge proponent of land manipulation mechanics, which haven't had much time to work their way out, unlike artifacts and creatures, which have had plenty of time to actually find out what works, what doesn't, what is and isn't fun, etc.

And since I made reference to the original card, I'll also say that in the set it's in, the Gate to Aesir is a very important place; it's not just a gate, it's a staging ground.

Phew! All of that for a simple question. As you can see, there were a few factors that went into my decision to keep it as a land even though it lost its mana ability. I hope this explanation helps =D

EDIT: Oh right, almost forgot: Dark Depths didn't have a mana ability either... =P

[AlasterEisaroh]

I got this from Anthony S. Water's own DevArt page, he said this was one of two pieces he commissioned for the onslaught block, but this one never made it, the insect token he did though, so this one isn't copyrighted by Wizards.

Then why is it on the Elemental Token from the Elves Vs. Goblins Duel Deck?

[Kamahl's Disciple]

Then why is it on the Elemental Token from the Elves Vs. Goblins Duel Deck?

It is? I did not know that, and I did not know that Anthony would lie like that, maybe he just forget to update his page, for now, let's just call it placeholder art until I can get another art for my piece, for now, I would like some criticism.

[CoglineErro]

I've utterly changed mine. It still has no art. If anyone wants to submit art to me I would be willing to share the glory, but as of right now I still can't find anything fitting my flavor...Whatcha think of the rest?

[3cheesed]

Hey y'all, i've uploaded my card. I think it might break the rules a tad.. But it's ok right now, it's a triggered ability when it leaves play. It's a loophole, but hey, it doesn't break any rules. I think the wording might be incorrect, but whatever, I'll get help after.

Until then, any suggestions/criticism?

EDIT: Kamahl,

1st turn: LAND
2nd turn: LAND
3rd turn: LAND, Epitome of Survival (your card)
4th turn: LAND, Lightning Axe
5th turn: gg?

[final_press]

Artifactor: Your entry will be disqualified if you leave it the way it is. Check the contest rules again buddy.

edit - p-chan: The same goes for you I'm affraid, you need to lose "devour 1".

Seriously people, read the rules carefully before you submit :ahem:

[p-chan]

edit - p-chan: The same goes for you I'm affraid, you need to lose "devour 1".

Yep, I've noticed XP. So, I've posted my idea nº2. Any feedback about the wording? It gave me some serious headache XP

[final_press]

That's a bit of a tough one. I'd say to ask YWN to make sure. I feel like somehow "haunting target creature" or something should be used, but there's no point me just guessing. :confused:

[GRUNT]

EDIT: nevermind >_< Was going to ask about Phasing, but then I remembered it can't have any other ability except that 'leaves play' ability.

[Punkrockanarchymagic]

Punkrockanarchymagic:
You dont have a destination zone, but you do have a specific type of "leaves play," so you might get away with it anyway.



Thanks for the comment! I figure sacrifice implies being put into a graveyard from play... I hope I get away with it!

I'll edit this post with a comment about your card eventually... it seems like you haven't posted one yet.

[CoglineErro]

Don't worry Punkrock, you can't sacrifice to any other zone. nantuko Husk doesn't specify a zone to be sacrificed to, it is implied, therefore you are implying graveyard.

[George G]

Ok I put mine up, and I wanted to make the only way to use this to be the legend rule, but to avoid Zuran orb type things would mean an extra line of wording I couldn't afford. So I put the qoute in there to give it the "die by legend rule" flavor.

[CoglineErro]

@ george G:

5. Your card may have no other abilities than an effect as it leaves play.
Simple enough. Don't go trying to give it way to leave play either. This includes stuff like Flying.
Try again before you get a "Go to DQ Jail. Do not get judged. Do not get any points." card.

[George G]

Ok, I took that as it can't have activations to leave play..."giving it a way" to leave play....hmmm, ok well that makes things kinda vanilla then..."Be creative and design a card...But only one ability!!, and I'll tell you what that ability has to be!!" Haha j/k Cashew!

Well then I changed it to specify legend rule, something only done on mirror gallery, I was going to word it "from the legend rule", but then it would say "from play from the legend rule", too many "from"s , "due to" feels ok. It's the 8 damage bothering me, i know 10 is too much, ehhh.

Sure you can easily tutor for it, but you can vampiric tutor a rumbling slums too.

[3cheesed]

So no criticism on my card?

[Azrael Subucni]

So no criticism on my card?

The power level seems fine, and the concept is cool, but it seems weird that it doesn't have flying when it comes into play. It doesn't appear to undergo any sort of transformation. It just raises from the ashes. I mean, I understand you put that in to cheat around the 'no other abilities' clause. But it just seems kinda weird, from a flavor perspective.

My card will be up soon. Feel free to critique it, while I try to come up with flavor text before the deadline.

[SephHexenWR]

Az, I'd totally play your submission with Venser. So many potential ways to break that combo!

George G-- I'm not sure why you're so specific with your card? It's just a little too narrow-- instead of say combo'ing it up with Fulminator Mage it has to go to the graveyard exactly for that purpose... it seems kind of limited when it could be so much more fun.

But! A little bit of better advice. Mirror Gallery sets the precedent to have both 'legend' and 'rule' in quotes, and both lowercase. Just a tip so that it doesn't ding ya when ruling comes around. ^_^ (also, if I want to let my grammar nazi come out, the "it's" in the flavor text should be "its")

Evol: I really like Lotus Spirit, she's very cool. Your wording seems weird but I think it's fine, but the first 'L' in Lotus Spirit in the rules text is lowercase. To avoid that happening, if you're using MSE, just type in CARDNAME and it'll automatically paste in the name so that easy-to-overlook things like that don't happen. (also, not sure if Cashew will ding you for 'colour' instead of 'color'?)

Maybe an alternate wording could be "When CARDNAME is put into a graveyard from play, you may add to your mana pool one mana of any color for each damage dealt to CARDNAME this turn." ? I think yours is fine, I just find the templating and wording of cards to be fun... yes I'm weird >.>

final_press: I like your card through-and-through (another Venser favorite!), I just can't wrap my head around the flavor text. It seems kind of forced.

punkrock: Your card is awesome in multiplayer. *thumbs up*

kingez: That's... one hell of an obscure combo card. That's like Colfenor's Plans, no one is quite sure how to use it =P

ThunderHog: Such a black card! For some reason, BBBB seems pretty appropriate for something like that.

Kamahl's Disciple: That's pretty neat there. Lord knows that I could use that thing when my opponent has a Wrath in their hand... Out of just plain curiosity, why Future Sight borders? Aesthetics? ('cause I totally dig Future Sight's look)

Alaster: That's a pretty ridiculous creature. Those things never stop reproducing, unless you have an Unmake/Swords/etc. on hand. Might be a tad bit powerful? But then it is 6 mana... and I never claimed to be a paragon of balance =3
Still, I'd run it right along Mystic Snake, to be sure...

GG Crono: That's a pretty blue card. I'm not sure I'd run him myself, but he seems like the kind of card they put in a set for Limited.

blinx: I like it a lot! I kind of started Magic with Time Spiral, so pardon if I'm a little ignorant, but how else (other than O-Ring) would you remove an enchantment from the game?

Cogline: Replacement effect is nifty, but I think it could cost less, actually. See: Wheel of Sun and Moon, and that one actually has a larger impact on more mechanics.

3cheesed: I see what you did there. Cool art you found, too.


Whew! That was a lot! Sorry if I seemed overly critical at points, I really only mean to help... just try to have mercy on my poor little design if you're feeling vengeful =3

[_b4g3r_]

My card is up any suggestions?

[final_press]

Your card will be disqualified, b4g3r.


:banghead:

[kingez36@hotmail.co.uk]

b4g3r take out the leaves play clauses and it will still work in the same way, they arent actually doing anything except clogging the card up.
and your not allowed abilities outside of the leaves play ability otherwise it is auto DQed which is never good.

[_b4g3r_]

Ok tnx, changed it :D

[Punkrockanarchymagic]

punkrock: Your card is awesome in multiplayer. *thumbs up*



Thanks!

@George G:
Turn 1- Swamp, Dark Ritual, Crucible of Worlds
Turn 2- Immense Meteor
Turn 3- Immense Meteor, opponent takes 16.
Turn 4- Immense Meteor from graveyard.
Turn 5- Immense Meteor from graveyard, opponent takes another 16.

32 colorless, uncounterable damage from land sources by turn 5 seems broke to me. Isn't Crucible is crazy enough already?

[blinx511]

@SephHexenWR: You could use Altar's Light, Erase, Return to Dust or even Scour. There are lots of ways.

[Cashew]

You know the thing about cards in combos? Sometimes who cares.

Wizards printed Stuffy Doll knowing it could easily be abused with Guilty Conscience. That's a 2 card combo.

Let alone Grindstone + Painter's Servant

Being broken in a combo isn't necessarily broken, it's the reason combo decks exist, and has ever since Donate + Illusions from Grandeur

Those are all instant kill combos. At least his takes several turns to pull off.

[SephHexenWR]

@SephHexenWR: You could use Altar's Light, Erase, Return to Dust or even Scour. There are lots of ways.

Oh, durr. I even say I started in Time Spiral, and I missed that set's token enchantment/artifact removal spell! Erase is a good option, though, I like that one...

[Dan_LegendaryNerd]

@Coldstone: I *really* like Artificer's Weld. It would do well against anti-artifact, me thinks. :)

[final_press]

@Coldstone: I *really* like Artificer's Weld. It would do well against anti-artifact, me thinks. :)

Shame it's going to get disqualified.

Are people actually reading the rules?

[Cashew]

Makes the judge's life easier not having to grade them :).

DQ. Move on.

[Coldstone]

DQ'd for WHAT, exactly? I don't see what the problem is.

EDIT: You mean the first line? Geez, screw me for trying to be flavorful. Whatever...

EDIT 2: There, thing's fixed.

[evol_intentions]

B4g3r: just my two cents but you could just say something along the lines of...'if that creature was blue....' an 'if that creature was white....'

just my lil opinion
and coldstone rules be rules, imagine the pandemonium if there wer none... this contest will end up like last year :)

[George G]

George G-- I'm not sure why you're so specific with your card? It's just a little too narrow-- instead of say combo'ing it up with Fulminator Mage it has to go to the graveyard exactly for that purpose... it seems kind of limited when it could be so much more fun.

Thank you for all very helpful and very appreciated advice. I'm a grammar nazi myself, missed that though!

As for the legendary...didn't want it to be that easy, no zuran orb or any of that...

[MageofBlackness]

Is it ok to have the "shuffle your library afterwards" clause at the end of our card's ability, or would that violate the rule where your card can only have an ability that triggers when it leaves play?

[SephHexenWR]

MageOfBlackness -- I can't speak for Cashew, but if it's part of the leaves play ability, I'd think it would still count as the same ability, especially if it's card search (since you know library shuffling is kind of required in that case).

[MageofBlackness]

Ok, everyone. I posted my submission. What do you guys think?

Just to note, I designed it's ability to work similarly to Panglacial Wurm in that you have to pay any and all associated mana costs to play the card, and the card is played as part of the resolution of an ability (which I think eliminates the need for an "as though it had flash" clause).

[Azrael Subucni]

@MageofBlackness: I love the ability, as it makes the Johnny in me tingly. But it seems a little weak, since you have to find a way to return it (Excommunicate anyone?), and still pay the cost.

I added flavor text to my entry, and it may be complete. I'm just not sure about the mana cost on the ability. I put it in to prevent it from going infinite... but that may not be such a bad thing, that it can.

[Kamahl's Disciple]

@ MageofBlackness: - Instead of the wording "is put into your library from play", use "is shuffled into your library from play" or "is put on the top or bottom of your library from play".

[Azrael Subucni]

@ MageofBlackness: - Instead of the wording "is put into your library from play", use "is shuffled into your library from play" or "is put on the top or bottom of your library from play".

I believe his wording works, even if it sounds unusual. And it would work in either situation.

[MageofBlackness]

@Azrael Subucni: That was one of the problems I had noticed myself when making it. I'm actually considering changing it's leave play condition to "When CARDNAME is returned to your hand from play, you may instead put it on the bottom of your library to search your library for a card and play that card from your library. Shuffle your library afterwards." Though, I don't think that makes it any easier to do.

@Kamahl's Disciple: Well, I wanted the ability to trigger regardless of how it got to the library from play, and since the library itself is a zone, and regardless of where a card is in your library (on top, bottom, or somewhere in the middle), it is still "in your library". So, I felt that "put into your library from play" was an appropriate way to summarize the conditions that I intended to be able to trigger its ability.

[final_press]

@MageofBlackness: Did you mean "Play it without paying it's mana cost"? You may well of intended it how it is written, but I just thought I'd check.

[MageofBlackness]

@MageofBlackness: Did you mean "Play it without paying it's mana cost"? You may well of intended it how it is written, but I just thought I'd check.

No, I very much intended for it to work as it is written, paying the card's mana cost to play it as part of the resolution of the ability.

[SephHexenWR]

No, I very much intended for it to work as it is written, paying the card's mana cost to play it as part of the resolution of the ability.

I love how everyone here is bringing up the exact same concerns I had when you showed it to me. I guess you can take that as a mark for your creativity... =P

EDIT: Rainbow7, I really dig your artefact, but I'm almost positive it needs to be "put into (zone) from play for it to be qualified.

[Cashew]

Get your qualifying entries in today. Seriously.

The next contest admin...god I wish I knew. I'll be out of town so don't expect them to be judged. Bug Streetz to name the person.

[Cashew]

Qualifiers are now closed. The new contest admin is:


I have no clue.

The second portion will resume when the new contest admin is announced. Whenever that is.

[FrycHiKn]

That spoiler was mean! :P


Good luck to all of you guys :E I Chicken'd out because I got no clue about the ability... Sorry.

[3cheesed]

Don't you mean... you FrycHiKn'd out?

EDIT: Wow, that must've been a REALLY bad pun, it's been 2 days and nobody's said anything >_<

[CoglineErro]

Woot! My art qualified! I knew my card was amazing enough to win without it.

[p-chan]

Yup, I could reuse a failed try for the qualifiers!

Anyway...I would hate if everyone wins/lose; that's not the spirit of a contest. Also...I don't know it there would be enought room in the homepage of MDV for all the cards XP

[ThunderHog]

Uh, Luther? Your cards art work uses the same art as Frozen Shade. Your source just took it from Wizards. Lol.

[Luthervamplord]

Thought I recognized it - Thanks TH, I'll change it later

[3cheesed]

@TH: MTG, I laugh at your pitiful Discard step!! Ha! Haha!! AHAHAHA!!!

You might want to find a way to stick "players don't discard cards in the Discard Step" in the comes into play effect =P if you don't, then well, people will be discarding their library at the end of their turn. I don't think that was what you were going for =).

[CoglineErro]

I think that is exactly what he was thinking. Spellbook+ Gateway to Knowledge= ****ed up opponent!!!!

[ThunderHog]

Cogline got what I was aiming for. If you're using that card, chances are you have a Spellbook or two in the deck. Now, if all of your copies of it happen to be sitting in the last five cards of your deck, then you've got a problem... XD

[Kamahl's Disciple]

I wonder if I would've really made it to the second round... Anyway, my entry is up, what do you guys think?

[Punkrockanarchymagic]

Mine's up too. Wondering if I should use the Y variable on the second ability. Any comments welcome.

[final_press]

Mine's up too. Wondering if I should use the Y variable on the second ability. Any comments welcome.

Yes, you need to use the Y variable, otherwise X is two different numbers.

[Punkrockanarchymagic]

Yes, you need to use the Y variable, otherwise X is two different numbers.

Changed it. Thanx.

[Cashew]

February closed. Enjoy the everlasting wait for results, I ain't doing them and I have a feeling no one else is either. :)

Streetz did say there would be new people soon including a contest mod, but that was like a month ago so yeah.........

[FrycHiKn]

So you still got no idea who will be The Boss around?

[CoglineErro]

Tony Danza of course

[Azrael Subucni]

Damn, first round I've skipped since I joined. I guess I just didn't feel much motivation to enter a contest that may or may not be judged by an unknown party, at some point in the future. Especially after my qualifier entry was basically irrelevent.

I am curious who and what the next round will bring. Perhaps it will restore my vim and vigor for design.
