The Card Designer Challenges Thread
Current Card Designer Challenge : None.
Welcome to the Main Card Designer Challenge Thread! This is a place to suggest card design competition ideas that may be used in our unofficial series of Card Designer Challenges.
Feedback is always appreciated along with suggestions for possible competition ideas.
You do not need images for a Challenge Series card, unless otherwise stated. This means that you can enter a competition with a great idea, and win without having any art!

Challenge Ideas
The Plot to End it All
We've had Elements RPG. We've had Elements poems. We've had Elements Fanfics. Now, how about making a story that's card based?
Rules:
-Using Gl1tch's
Big Bad Plot Pack as an example, design an original story series of least 3 cards!
-Provide a small story that explains why these cards are related!
Blast from the Past : The Trials
I've seen a lot of old cards that involve the Trials from previous attempts. Let's go and revive them, shall we?
Rules:
-Revive and Remake 1-4 cards from the old
Card Ideas for the Trials (You will most likely want to revive 2 cards since the point was to make a deck where these cards had synchronization with each other.)
-Credit the maker, and provide an example deck of how this card would work ingame!
(Check to make sure the card(s) you remake are not currently active in the Crucible,Forge or Armory.)
Re-Steal My Idea
Using the
Steal My Idea thread, take 1-3 ideas from there and remake them.
W's a Double U
Make a duo card that prompts strong synergy and is
intended to be a multielement card similar to the
Duality series () and Timerclock's
Duo element series. Here's the catch though - cards in Elements can only be categorized under 1 element. Can you pull it off?
Uno, Deux, Trio!
Inspired by Emeraldtiger's
Alliance Pendant.
Trio cards are often a very difficult to make - we only have 1 trio card, Firefly Queen in the whole ETG! Let's bring in some more colors!
-Design a card that supports a trio and is mechanically well balanced. Stuck? Try looking at Firefly Queen or Alliance Pendant.
Completed Competitions
Duality's LegacyPassive Abilities (Ended!)
Your Own Rare? (Ended!)
The concept of a "Rare" card idea is... quite rare these in the standard CI&A forum. Well, let's change that!
Rules:
-Design 1-3 Rare cards that you feel that would be good in Elements!
-What is your definition of a Rare? Define it in your cards!
-State why you believe this card is worth being rare (I.E. It would be used in many decks, it's powerful, etc...)
The Epic ET Card Design Competition (Ended!)
3 pictures, 3 cards. Let us revive this ancient practice with a more recent source.
-Using 3 unused images from Emeraldtiger's art thread, create 3 awesomesauce cards!
It All Floods Over (Ended!)
Right, so we know Flooding
needs a buff. However, why buff directly when you can add cards that synchronize well with Flooding?
Rules:
-Design 1-3 cards that would work well with Flooding (remember that you'd don't neccessarily have to state the card(s) works with flooding, e.g. you can say the effect requires the creature to be underwater or triggers something every time quanta is absorbed)
-Explain why this card syncs well with Flooding, and make an example deck of how this would work
