Intrigue: Anecdotal Flavour

Sometimes, the best flavor you can find in a card is not in its flavor text. This succinct article will give you a leg up on improving your card's aesthetic impact!

Thanks to for running last week's contest and for picking my design!

Signpost uncommons! We all know 'em, we all love 'em, we've all first picked 'em when we probably shouldn't have.

If you're not aware of the term, a signpost uncommon is a multicolored uncommon creature card that strongly reinforces that color pairing's limited archetype.

Your task this week is to make up a limited archetype for a hypothetical set and design an uncommon creature card that enables that archetype. Be sure to mention what that archetype is, and it can be whatever you want. Food tokens? Enchantment sacrifice? Brushwagg typal? The only limit is your twisted imagination!

Your entry must:

• Be a creature.

• Be exactly two colors.

• Have a level of complexity that wouldn't be out of place on an uncommon card in a supplementary set. (Think a Masters or Horizons set.) It can be as strong or pushed as you'd like, but keep the complexity medium.

• And just to make things interesting, your creature card must also include at least one extant non-evergreen keyword or ability word. No making up keywords for this contest, but it can be any one you want, old or new.

Judgings will happen at some point on Monday the 22nd. Happy designing, folks!
