Welcome to another week of our Card Design contest! Before we begin, I want to thank everyone who has discussed, entered, or otherwise participated in the design contest.

As have more and more of these contest occur and Faeria grows every day, the prestige of winning these contest gets a little bit higher. That is awesome. Not only does the winner get in-game prizes, but they also receive a special badge on the official Faeria forums. As a result, we have seen the quality of the submissions get better and better every week.

That means us judging have to keep up. This contest, we will pay special attention to making the judging process has transparent as possible. More feedback, more discussion, and promise to explain our decision behind “Every” card submitted. It’s gonna be a lot of work, but you all deserve it.

With that said, let’s get this contest started! Here is the basic schedule:

Tuesday- New theme is announced and the submission window opens.

Sunday – 6th Day at midnight CEST: Submissions close.

Sunday- 6th Day: The PlayFaeria team votes on the best submission.

Monday – 7th Day: Winner is announced and awarded with their prize.

9/20/2016 Theme: An unwanted gift!

The topic for this week is unwanted gifts! Your challenge is to create a creature (Or event, if you can make it work) that includes a harmful Gift that has some sort of bad effect towards the player that casts it. Like most negative Gifts effects, there should be a reason for players to endure the pain– your card should have a payoff or reason to include in a deck.

Or maybe it doesn’t?

Your only limits are what you can think of and this weeks theme is bound to deliver some unique cards.

The PlayFaeria staff with be judging on variety of factors:

Creativity

Balance

Flavor

Design (How does this interact with other cards? Does it make the game more fun, or less fun?)

Uniqueness.

How to submit?

Design your card using the Faeria card creator located at http://ninja.digital/makefaeria/, Photoshop, paint or whatever other image software you might have. You can even illustrate your card and send us a photo of it. The important thing is we can see your card and read what it does. If none of the above work for you, try https://pixlr.com/editor/. Post your card as a reply to the forum topic and as an Email to social@playfaeria.com within the submission window time. Please include your in-game name. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook. It’s not obligatory but we appreciate it. The best card will be revealed, and the winner will be awarded their in-game prize(s).

That’s it! Good luck aspiring designers!
