Royalty
The Royalty part of this task seems to be almost missing from S7 and Pyrocloaks. A few words is all that is said about the possible consequences and those words are very vague.
Of the remaining ones, TTG's was better written, but I liked them both.
Winner: TTG

Pyrocloak's government deck was cool, and I liked how focused and orderly it looks compared to the more chaotic people deck. S7's people deck is similarly more spread out and chaotic compared to their governemt deck, so plus points for that. The Life splash in TTG's people deck looks very out of place, but at least it is justified in the text. The Leaf Dragons in FROGS seems even more out of place though. The lore text describes its use of photosynthesis, but it can't actually use that in the deck, which is a bit bad deck design.
Winner: Pyrocloaks

TTG's map looks great, but somehow it feels more like a random collection of cool places than an actual map. Not entily sure why. Maybe it's the background being monocolored whie all the stuff is very colorful? S7's map is probably the best direct map imo, but it was made from a tool, unlike (I guess?) TGT and Pyrocloaks. FROGS looks tool-made and it's a bit boring too. Pyrocloak's doesn't look all that great, but it looks handdrawn and looks more like a map than TTG. Basically all maps have some ups and downs, so it was hard to pick a best one.
Winner: S7

TTG's card is very cool, a shield with a unique ability. S7 is also a cool new AoE card with a twist. Vapour serprent seems a bit odd and pretty strong. In a deck witohut air you can just spend a few extra water quata to buff all serpents you have. Siege is very hard to judge against the right deck it can be devestating, since it lasts so long. But against some decks it' useless. SO a pretty niche card which I only really see used in very limited formats.
Winner: S7 and TTG

FROGS and S7 doesn't seem to be scams at all, but S7's wands could be a bit misleading with what effects they actually do. This is stated by the wizard though, so not that much of a scam.
Both TTG's and Pyrocloak's submission are similar with both framed as dialouge, and both are pretty good. I though Pyrocloak's ending was a bit more fun though.
Winner: Pyrocloak

TTG's submission was more story than actual culture/history explanations, which I didn't really like. FROGS text was most varied, with explanations of several different things. The two remaining I felt was pretty equal.
Winner: FROGS
BONUS
From an effort standpoint, FROGS bonus task is very well made, and certainly not anything I expected. From a gameplay-standpoint however it was pretty bad. There are so much walking in this game that it gets boring, I think i spent most of my time in this game in the Mountains just walking back and forth. Some fast-traveling would be awesome. The tidbits of court info you got when completing the quest was nice,but sadly there is no way to reread them and get a good voerview on what was actually said.
Pyrocloak's story was also a nice twist, but there was too little that actually described the court imo.
S7 was also short, but had moer interesting things to tell than Pyrocloak's imo.
TTG had the most info about their court (aside from possibly FROGS), and it was well presented too.
Winner: TTG
Challenge
Wow, this was hard. I must say I really like both designs. In the end I voted for FROGS since they went for something other than a sword.
