Q&A

Spoiler for Q&A:

The mechanics and element of your submission CANNOT be the same as the original card.

This isn't going to be too strict, is it? Like, say the card Frostbite by ZP was in the archives and I wanted to make a card with its name. Would something like the example card below be a valid submission?

Frostbite
3
Spell
Freeze all creature cards in the opponent's hand for two turns

(okay wait, I just realized that I ignored the part about the element having to be different, but focus on the mechanic part for now ^^ that's what I'm asking about at least)

Is this mechanic different enough from the original that it would be a valid submission? Because they both are similar with the "Freeze hand cards" thing, yet they both have different implications and implementations as well.

As long as 1) the name is kept, 2) the submission is in a different element and the 3) mechanic differs more than in just slight adjustment to numbers, or a word here or there, it's likely it would be different enough. Having said that however, Card Curators still reserve the right to point out if something is too similar, but will do so with ample time for Card Designers to change their submission if they'd like.

One other thing: Can I have my entry named after Card A but carbon-copies (or even closely resembles) the mechanics of Card B?

(For example, may I have enter what's basically a carbon-copy of dde's Storm Rod | Storm Attractor, except I named my entry after EvaRia's Magnet | Lodestone?)

As per the current rules, yes you may. Having said that, make sure you credit both cards. Though there are many great mechanics in the Armory Archive it is possible that carbon-copies of (or even closely resembling) mechanics in the Armory Archive may be frowned upon. Originality among Card Designers is highly encouraged, as such, Card Curators will be voting accordingly.

Question: In our redesign, can we create a card that will/can spawn another card that doesn't exist? Such as how Supernova generates a black hole, can our cards do something, and then if something else is done, it spawns another card(one that we have to create/include in our card submission)? So technically we'd be making 2 different cards, but the second card couldn't exist without the first.

Definitely. If it's an essential part of the redesign, you should include it.

Card Submission Phase: no time remaining.
Voting Phase: no time remaining.

ART: IDEA: NOTES: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/anvil-archive/necronomicon-necronomicon-15042/ Your hand is ignored when playing this card. So if your strongest creature is in your hand, it will choose the next strongest creature remaining in your deck. The Old One gets summoned if you play more than 1 Necronomicon per turn. Similar to how you get a Black Hole if you play 2 Supernova in a single turn.

Its attack cannot be lowered and instead, anything that would lower its attack increases it by the same amount. Antimatter doubles its attack. SERIES: SERIES:

ART: No art IDEA: Anonymous NOTES: Original Idea This card works by targeting a field slot. When a creature enters play on that field slot (either through direct play from the hand or from creature generation like Mitosis and FFQ), it'll automatically come into play with one poison counter. This happens for the first three creatures to be on that field slot while this is in effect. If used on a field slot that is already currently holding a creature, that creature will gain one poison counter, as if it was affected by Infect (Parasite's ability). SERIES: WC Card Submissions

Spoiler for Necronomicon | Necronomicon (B):

NAME: Necromicon ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 4 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Lose 10 Hp: summon a Ghast	NAME: Necromicon ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 5 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Sacrifice target creature: summon X Shub, where X is the Atk + Hp + Quanta cost of the creature. U can go insane.

ART: IDEA: NOTES: The Necromicon is a book by H.P Lovecraft, a sort of a guide on how to summon the Old Ones (demons). Unupped necromicon let the player cast a Ghast (check the first spoiler) by paying 10 hp (no, isn't synergic with sosac at all, this card should be casted AFTER sosac, so u don't have the quanta); as the card says, if your opponent doesn't have creature and u have more than one Ghast, the Ghast attack another Ghast; if u have only one Ghast and your opponent has no creature, the Ghast attack normally. U can't target your opponent. Spoiler for Hidden: -------------------------------------------------- Upped necromicon: for example, if u sacrifice a pest, u get 6 Shub (check second spoiler) (2+0+4); u can go insane means that if u generate more than 12 shub in a turn, u can't draw cards (if u cast precognition or other drawing cards, they will have no effect; shard of bravery has no effect on both players) for the rest of the match. U can't sacrifice a creature of your opponent. Spoiler for Hidden: What happens if i sacrifice an upped Singularity? Upped singularity cost 10  , has -7 in attack and 5 HP; u will get 8 (10+5-7) Shub (can seem a strong combo, but keep in mind that u need 3 cards together in the same turn, u need to save your snovas and can't be used in your first turn, since necromicon require 5 and snova cost 2  and shubs for work needs at least another card). With unupped nova/singularity u will get a little more shubs (12), but the initial combo is extended to 3 novas and 1 necromicon. This card isn't supposed to work only with singularity, it has is own synergy in monodark with eclipse (the combo is too expensive to be used in rainbow) by simply sacrificing pests, or with cards like Sopa, Feral Bond or Chimera. Shub isn't airborne. The quanta cost of shub can seem strange, but is used to avoid Fractal. -redacted- Original card: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/anvil-archive/necronomicon-necronomicon-15042/ SERIES:

ART: IDEA: NOTES: A shield geared towards rainbow rushes and that improves break capabilities when combined with healing. It can also be used as a way to charge up for a dissipation field in the late game or to fuel an OTK deck that stalls with miracles. Only physical damage is considered, antimatter doesn't drain quanta (it ignores the shield). Doesn't play well with sancts. original http://elementscommunity.org/forum/level-3-armory/prismatic-field-prismatic-wall/ SERIES:

ART: IDEA: Bloodshadow, reworked by tereret NOTES: Idea: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/anvil-archive/water-golem-ice-golem/ It suffers summoning sickness, so it can only summon 2 spores. Stackable. The idea is the following: your oponent kills one of them, the remaining are protected, If your oponent kills them all, there will be a cconstant 5|1 threat entering the field.
