The Marvelous Magical Spell-Casting Cards Card Design Competition

The Marvelous Magical Spell-Casting Cards Card Design Competition

Season 5 of our Card Design Competitions continues! This week, we're casting spells via cards.


Secondhand Spellcasting - Season 5 Competition #5

This weeks theme comes from Donnerfausuts, whose "Timmy the Impatient" was the winner of our "Alto" competition.

Competition-Specific Restrictions:

  • Your card must, itself, cast a spell. The most obvious existing examples include Yogg-Saron, Hope's End and Servant of Yogg-Saron, but you're free to have your cards cast specific spells rather than random ones.
  • There must be an easily identifiable reason why your card is casting a spell rather than just having an effect identical to that spell's effect. For example, you're going to have to justify why your weapon has "Battlecry: Cast Innervate" rather than just "Battlecry: Gain 2 Mana Crystals this turn only.". If you can't justify it, it's not going to qualify. For spells that deal damage, the justification is inherent, because the effect is going to benefit from Spell Damage in a way that even an identically worded Battlecry or other minion text would not. For other spells, however, you'll have to get a little more creative. For example, Mad Scientist and Mysterious Challenger arguably fit this week's theme because they cast spells that you have in your deck, requiring and consuming those cards. We will also accept text length concerns as sufficient justification; for example, this card that won one of our competitions last season would have much too lengthy card text if it were to entirely reproduce Shadowform's card text:
    • Battlecry: Enter Shadowform. Deathrattle: Restore your basic Hero Power.
