It's time for Elements Month to return with a vengeance! Last appearing over two years ago on MTGSalvation, this flavor-based month of challenges is a guaranteed fun, if strange, time. All will be explained below, but let's get on with the show.
The magic of the natural elements is some of the most primal and mysterious there is - simplistic though it may seem, appearances can be deceiving, and the "elements" can include more abstract and powerful forces than most mages imagine.
This month, you'll be theming design around your picks from the following lists. Choose wisely, as your picks will carry over round-to-round.
Grain
Moon
Energy (Static)
Sand
Holy
Metal
Wind
Time
Energy (Potential)
Ice
Mist
Thought
Void
Disease
Energy (Negative)
Blood
Poison
Soil
Stone
Speed
Energy (Kinetic)
Lightning
Dust
Magnetism
Storms
Life
Energy (Positive)
Seasons
Flesh
Wild
- For example, if you picked blood and seasons, you could design a card that had the ability " : Add or " or " : Add ", but not one that had " : Add , , or " or " : Add one mana of any color."
- Since colorless is not a color, no one will be penalized for putting on a " : Add " ability.
- For everyone's convenience, please note both of the elements you picked in your post.
- Make sure to include a rarity.
