I'm pulling up a driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for the drive to work.

Okay, so I, in some previous podcast, I talked about the first trial from the Great Designer Search 3,

the second trial from the Great Designer Search 3, which only leaves the third trial.

So basically what happened was the first trial was an essay test. The second trial

Then I will talk about how I would tackle it if I was taking the test.

Okay.

So for trial number three, the design test, you will need to design 10 cards that meet

the following criteria.

One, all the cards will be two-color and each of the 10 two-color combinations listed below need to be represented.

2. Each of the following card types, creature, enchantment, instant, plains walker, and sorcery needs to be represented twice and never on the same color.

3. Each rarity, common, uncommon, rare and mythic rare must be represented on at least two

cards.

Four, submit your cards in order of quality of design for what you consider your best design

first to what you consider your worst design last.

And then, just some technical stuff, I said the order that the cards needed to be submitted
