Weekly Design Contest / Weekly Design Contest #193 The Flora of Dominion
« on: July 18, 2023, 04:20:34 pm »
There have been a number of cards, particularly in the Menagerie expansion, which have been named after animals. There have been few cards to date though that have been named after plants. This will be the next competition.
Design a card or horizontal that is named after a plant.
There are several cards that are thematically linked to plants such as Gardens, Groundskeeper, Vineyard, Herbalist or Harvest. Farming and food are other potentially plant related themes that have been used for naming cards. I am sure there are plenty of other ways that a card can be linked to a plant, I can think of a few (but I am not going to give them away, ha!).
Rules (not many)
- The name of any entry must either be a plant or be obviously derived from the name of a plant.
- Any official card or horizontal type is permitted.
Judging criteria.
I will not playtest cards. It will be down to my opinion on how I think they card will play. Things I will consider.
- Theme. I will be looking for cards that are in some way analogous to the plant they are named after, or cards that tie into an already established plant related theme.
- How much I like the concept of the card.
- How much fun do I think the card will be to play with.
- How I think the card will fit into common deck types.
- Does the card have any interesting interactions.
- Does the card have any problematic interactions.
Deadline for entries will be 25th July, one week from now.
