Did you want my fucking favourite wizard, or my favourite wizard that clearly fucks, or my favourite wizard that copies things?
I'll let you decide which is which (hint it's all three)

I felt I was able to commit to a complete build of one of the below before the end of the year.
Polling with 100% of the vote was Eirdu//Isilu! So I'm now working on the general concept of the deck and have 4 (closer to 3 and a half) options.
Trying to use all of the Elemental God, so to speak.

Oh hey, Grim Haruspex has been unlocked from "Shitty Human who did Magic art" confinement.

For more passive card advantage, I'd suggest Thickest in the Thicker, or something like Colossal Majesty

The best of my pre-release, prize and extra packs. My promo was Legend of Kuruk, but managed to wrangle an Azula too.
Opened regular Koh in my pool, alt-art from an extra with Ozai.
Played a solid B/R Firebending deck but didn't have enough to splash Kuruk or Avatar's Wrath.

There is no higher compliment for a U/R(x) deck I've built that this from @ellie.wubrgsky.org

I unfortunately have no cat pictures of my own, as I do not have a cat, so instead here are some other completely standard cats.
Nothing out of the ordinary here.
Hope you're okay.

Miracles was a lot of fun, even if I feel I ran a terribly suboptimal list. Will be pivoting to Jeskai Miracles for next week.
Pillar of Flame, Thunderous Wrath and Bonefire of the Damned feel well positioned, and the mana is significantly better.

31. Infinity (bonus)
Something born exclusively from a title, and the idea to combine Null Rod's flavour text and a great Friday Nights line from Cameron.
So what if Darksteel Relic was horribly power crept and yet still didn't do much?

Something that I'm not totally convinced is even allowed to work in the rules right now, but I think is fairly easy to figure out how it works.
What if Infinity Manifest was actually a planeswalker?

Had the art picked out since day eight. This might need playtesting to properly balance as this could be unplayable or utterly broken.
I like the flavour notes going on here though.

29. Princess
You might have noticed, I don't make a lot of cards below rare. So here's a rare uncommon.
The last ability is meant to be "not quite" monarch, reinforcing the false royalty of the character.

28. Daylight
This is self-indulgent. Intended to be part of Gloomsday, which has a core theme of exiling cards face down. White is good at overcoming (the reverse process), and this is the mythic.
To try and play better outside that set's ecosystem, this doesn't care how it's exiled.

Ultimately, the best way to get what I want is to utilise DFCs.
It means we lose the option to play these as commanders, but I imagine plenty of people would rule 0 them in anyway.
But it does mean we can make them fetchable, and have some fun with the typeline!

27. Moonlight
Moonlight -> Nighttime
2 years ago, I designed Nocturnal (I don't remember the prompt), which basically gives permanents (mainly creatures) a buff when it's not your turn.
This resulted in Nighttime Prankster.
I thought I'd bring it back for a common, uncommon and mythic.

25. Cosmos, and 26. Seed
We regularly get Cosmos or some derivative of it for a prompt so a lot of my concepts have been used before.
Thankfully, Cosmos and Seed pair well together. I've also not done my obligatory 5c nonsense spell yet.
With all that said, here is Origin of the Realms.

24. Mask
This one came together quite quickly while at lunch at work today.
A cross between Polymorphist's Jest, Ixidron and Dress Down. I think the flexibility of this card is really interesting.
I thought of 3 different uses in the design process.

23. Tuxedo
After spending the best part of the week making the previous card, it took me 10 minutes after finding the art to make this one.
Yes, I used my "Name a Legend after the prompt" cheat, but honestly Tux Edo sounds like a demonic agent name.
Also, this design feels really cool.

A day late with this because I've been really wracking my brain on getting something that just "works". I've given up on further balancing... for now.
One day, I'll come back to new Battle subtypes.
Here's The Ten Century War, the battle that just doesn't really end.

Bands of Silver was something I wanted to make, and I'm very happy with it, but I had this nagging idea in the back of my mind.
Finally figured it out tonight. This might be the silliest thing I've ever committed to a magic card.
