Hi guys,
I was sitting today and thinking how to make next few weeks more entertaining for all of us. And then it hit me. Why not to announce some interesting contest? But what kind of contest? It should be at least a little original and people should enjoy it, not only the attendants but also the rest of forum. And I think I got an idea.

Rules of the contest:
1, Attendants will create a deck. The deck will be standard format and fairly competitive.
2, Then they will write a story containing all card names from the current deck-list (incl. lands), story can refer also to cards that are not in decklist. The story must have some form and spirit. The story must be at least 750 words long. Stories that will not meet limit of 750 words will be rejected
3, Attendants will PM or email (whitedrake@me.com; subject = Creativity Contest - Nickname) me the story with decklist, decklist can be either attached to the mail or inserted as a plain text in PM. Stories delivered in different way will not be considered and accepted to the contest
4, Jury (me, my wife - she is teaching English and my friend who writes stories for children) will pick 3 best stories and post them here.
5, Forum members will vote for winner.

The contest (writing part) starts now and ends 7/june 2013 20:00 CET. The three best stories will be announced on 10/june 2013 20:00 CET and voting for the winner will end on 14/june 2013 20:00 CET

If you are interested in the contest please sign for it here by post in this thread.

Of course it would not be a contest if there would be no prizes. Prizes for winner besides of fame and social credit are these two foil full alter art cards:

Also some nice random foil cards from my mystery box.

And the winner will also get rank Apprentice for one month and get the access to Patron lounge here on forum.

Then good luck to all of you and I am looking forward to your emails and PMs...:)


Edit: Could I ask any moderator to stick this thread if it is not a problem?

Awesome idea. Does the deck have to be new or can we use a deck we have already made?

whitedrake

I am glad you like the idea...:) I guess it could be fun...:)

@The1337Magician I would prefer if you would create some new deck but of course it is up to you. In my opinion it is better to think about the story during the deck assembling...;)

I might just edit my Dimir deck and add all my Dragon's Maze cards. And if that isn't my story, I'll do it anyway.
