what the hell is this card even.
Also, don't we have some actually legitimately great designs to highlight?

I think the point of this feature is to communicate to the uninitiated how woefully they underestimate the ridiculousness of NGAC.

At least, that's what I'm getting out of it.

I tried playing this and it was terrible against decks that actually played cards. We gained fetches since then, but also lost Riorvard's ridiculous dual lands so it's kind of a wash. I definitely didn't have the right shell.

The point isn't to showcase good designs I don't think.

I mean, I'm open to submissions, but right now it's mostly PP and PP's main interest is NGA Constructed. if you want to feature some stuff for their design feel free to send me some blurbs.

The point isn't to showcase good designs I don't think.
the point isn't really any one thing.

Just pick a random card from Veltrum and write "What an amazing design." (You could probably showcase Archivist Olvund as being noteworthy for having the longest text box, but wait until after October when it will be longer.)

I don't know, I haven't looked through NGAC with the intend of finding anything but broken stuff. It doesn't even show flavor text unless I click the cards. If anything ever popped out to me, I've forgotten it by now.

Yeah that's kind of what I meant. We've had cards for flavor reasons so why not any reason.

You could feature stuff like Torn-Wing Hellkite or Proteiform Brain.

maybe I'll write a blurb for Hellkite, it's legitimately one of my favorite YMtC cards ever.

It's a bad card but the flavor is good.
