#cfac winner

CFAC #30 was filled with interesting submissions that tried to work around the seven-line-text limit, and the competition was fierce. However, after much deliberation, I’ve come to a personal consensus on this week’s CardsFromArt Challenge, and I’ve figured out this week’s winners. Let’s take a look!

Category 1: Favorite card that used only one line of text (32 chars or less)

Okay, so, this category wasn’t hard to figure out, because there was only one entry! This was a pretty restrictive challenge, but it let me push the envelope to see how deep the average contestant was willing to go: and the answer was, not this far. This category’s winner is...

Clipped-Wing Crow by @thekillershrub​! Congratulations, you’ll receive one bonus point.

Category 2: Favorite non-Human creature

Here is where the decisions became difficult. All of the entries basically boiled down to birds and faeries (as expected). In the end, the bird side won out. This category’s winner is....

Witchhunter’s Raven by @noyan-dar​! The card may be a bit aggressively costed, but it felt appropriate for the colors and appropriate for the artwork, and is a good card overall. Congratulations, you’ll receive one point!

Category 3: Favorite non-creature spell

This category was pretty open, and I received submissions that matched it for pretty much each applicable card type. In the end, I went with a submission that was a cool twist on a classic design. This category’s winner is...

Fragile Wish by @amtgplayer​! I like the twist on the classic wish, and that it was pretty appropriately costed for such a unique effect. Congratulations, you will receive one point!

Finally, the overall winner

This card jumped out at me for being a cool design that was likely to play differently whenever you play it, puts some control in the opponent’s hands with a high chance for punishment, without being as bad as the usual “punisher” cards. This week’s overall winner is...

The Raven Man’s Lantern by @magicarasa​! Congratulations; you’ll receive one point, and your card will be added to the CFAC Hall of Fame!
