Competition: Prophet of Cards

[Pythagoras]

Do all cards have an ability?
Does at least one card hava an ability of a different element than the cards(e.g:lava destroyer)?
If  =1, =2, =3, =4, =5, =6, =7, =8, =9, =10, =11 and =12; is the sum of the elements of the cards greater than 19?

HINTING PHASE has now begun! Analyze the hints carefully and remember the answers to your questions; good luck, and have fun designing!

(Note: Imagine that each of the statements has the phrase, "One of these cards..." before it - each hint specifically belongs to a random card, although they are not in order, meaning that each set of hints has one hint for the topic in question.)

Clarification needed: this means each set of three hints has one hint for each card regarding the topic in question, but that they are in random order, right? So the first three hints have exactly one hint per card (say, the first is a hint for card 2, the second for card 1 and the third for card 3), while the second three have another hint each, but (possibly) in a different order?

Yes to all of the questions. - This means each set has 3 hints, one hint for one card, organized in random order (potentially).

Another couple questions:

Would have to deal with a total of 9 cards (sum of all creatures and non-pillar/pendulum permanents) from its opposite element.

Just to make sure, you counted all creatures (including Nymphs) and permanents excluding pillars, pendulums but including Marks? I think it's without Marks and it's a typo, but...

Comes from an element that can repeatedly produce a very specific creature of its element.

This excludes ways to repeatedly generate a very specific (unique) creature of that element that allow to repeatedly generate also creatures from other elements, right? (There is a card that allows that).

EDIT: Also:

Part of an element that has a creature that is capable of gaining both an ATK and a HP boost.

Does this include the use of other in-element cards or is it limited on the creature alone?

EDIT II:

its ATK is within 2 points of a creature that is capable of Burrowing.

I protest on the most useless hint ever. At least specify if you are referring to unupped or upped and that you exclude mutations.

What is this? Question Phase part 2?

Shouldn't include marks. Modifying now.

Can't answer this question.

Creature alone.

[The_Mormegil]

What is this? Question Phase part 2?

Absolutely. Well, at least clarifications on the text and avoidance of useless loopholes (see the mutant burrowing above) are needed, I think. It's difficult enough as it is!

[TuckingFypo]

Out of curiosity, could you please explain how the grading for the art is going to work? 

[TheManuz]

I'm dying to see the prophet's cards! 

[Kuroaitou]

Submission period now over! I'll be posting the cards and also highlighting their corresponding hints in the opening post shortly before doing the scoring. Aside from that, feel free to use the remainder of this period to discuss any feedback regarding this event, as I hope to revive in sometime in the future.

This was one of the most interesting Competition i ever done. I can't give feedbacks about scoring until i see the scoring phase in action, but for now i think that we should have a question phase after hints, or at least a freequestion phase before hints. Or maybe both!

The hints were hard but not impossible, i think that the level of difficulty was balanced. But maybe after seeing the cards my opinion could change! 

[Xenocidius]

Still annoyed at losing points for asking questions which didn't even help me at all. >.>

Nevertheless, a brilliant and creative competition. Good luck to all participants.
