Dark Brotherhood: The Gathering III

Details

Have you ever played Magic: The Gathering? Have you ever wondered what some of our beloved characters, settings or items would look like in other gaming universes? Here is a competition for you!

Format

Submit a custom made Magic card with any Brotherhood character, location, event or item as the card's subject. The card itself may be any color or type within the game system (creature, land, planewalker, instant, etc). Game balance factors such as mana cost will only be considered as it relates to

There are several websites available to assist in generating cards. MTGCardsmith is just one example. Here is an album containing several examples of DB cards.

  • Entries must be in a standard image format (.png, .jpg, etc.)

  • Entries must at a minimum provide the DB subject in the submission text box (what character, event, or item is referenced on the card). Participants can add further explanation of any inside jokes or references which may not be immediately apparent from materials on the DB site.

Criteria

Entries must be an image of a custom made Magic: The Gathering card of any type (color, land, artifact, creature, etc) that relates to a character, location, event or item in the Dark Brotherhood. Entries will be judged on adherence to the subject (character CS, possessions item, event wiki, etc) i.e. how you use the card mechanics (color, type, abilities, flavor text) to capture the chosen subject. Judgment factors include, adherence to DB subject matter, creativity/cleverness, and a small tilt for overall appearance. Entries can use comedy (which will go to the creativity/cleverness criteria) but the focus of this comp is translating the DB subject matter into a card.

Ask permission before using another person's character or character art

Use of stock images is allowed for the card art portion of the entry.

Cluster of Graphite will not be awarded for this competition.

You must create a new card specifically for this competition. Submitting entries from prior competitions (even your own entries) or the work of others will result in disqualification and referral to the Chamber of Justice

Textual submission

Submission attached. Card is of Ruka Tenbriss, Knight and apprentice between COU and Arcona. His strongest characteristics are loyalty and nurturing, represented in his Fealty ability (as he fights primarily for his partner) and in his Green mana aspect, as well as his ties to the Dark side and his ferocity, represented in his Black mana aspect and his Balance ability. In particular, the Balance ability is to show that depending on which side of him takes over - the Dark running rampant or the Light that Cora reminds him of - he can either hurt or protect. As he's still a JM, I made him a regular creature with average toughness/power, with both of them equal. His Common card type is a reference to his low birth, rather than anything about rarity.

Textual submission

Vodo Biask Taldrya is a long time warrior and leader of Clan Taldryan. He is an experienced tactician and strategist and his use of empathy to understand his peers and subordinates makes him a near legendary leader of men. His mere presence can bolster the morale and abilities of those around him and he, himself, draws strength from the loyalty of those around him to the Taldryan cause.

I have no clue where Vyr got the image, but it was really funny, so I used it. Looks like a Fandango thing.
