haven't already, make sure your entry is posted and/or finalized.

MCC: Spooky Spooky Monthly Card Contest!
10/1/09
- While TH and the judges figure out scores and tally them up for
the August/September MCC contest, I figured I would post the next
monthly card contest! This is a first for me! I opted for something
simple and in spirit of the major 'holiday' for the month of October:
Halloween. And I won't lie -- this is as ordinary or as complex as you
want to make it. There's just one major rule: make it HALLOWEEN-ESQUE!!!!
This month, players are to design a card of any type and color. However,
their card must be Halloween themed (aka Haloween-esque). You can make
this as simple or as complex as you want. However, know your art
selection and card name are crucial. That's all I'll say at this time.
Deadline is 10/20/09. Good luck! ~Streetz~ [Submission

Monthly Card Contest: Lucky Number Seven!
8/2/09 -
August is MDV’s 7th birthday!!! In light of that, we’re going to be
celebrating it this month. This round is going to be a bit more
straight-forward than most of the others, but hey that’s good too!
This month, players are to design a card of any type and color. However,
their card must contain at least some form of the number seven in any
part of the card aside from the flavor text. (The flavor text can have
it too, but I want it to be on the actual card as well).
Enter the contest today! Read more

Monthly Card Contest: Keyword Extravaganza!
6/10/09 -
Keywords have played a huge part in building the foundations of Magic as
a game. Keywords have existed ever since the beginning and have only
become more prominent ever since. As such, I’ve decided to name this
round Keyword Extravaganza!
In this round, participants can design any card they like. However, that
card must have at least three seperate keywords on it. (If you have any
questions about a specific keyword, don’t just up and use it. Feel free
to ask me via PM is I will count it or not.) Note: Your keywords don't
have to actually affect the card itself. An instant that says, "Target
creature gains haste, trample and flying until end of turn." will count
as having three keywords on it.

MDV IDOL 4!!!
10/31/08 -
*The lights rise, landing on a familiar figure
standing on stage. He is looking down at his watch… waiting…*
 Do
you know what time it is? I think I need a little help, because my watch
has stopped working.
*lifts his watch to his ear and listens for a
moment*
I hear the ticking, but the time still reads wrong. It
is telling me that it is time for another MDV Idol, but I don’t think
that is right. Didn’t we already have one this year?

Planeswalker
Contest Announcement.
10/22/07 - The journey to this contest actually began a couple months
ago. A goofy little card called Tarmogoyf was released in Future Sight.
A single, simple little word included in the reminder text unleashed the
largest rumor mill Magic has probably ever seen. It couldn't have been
any smaller - just the inclusion of the word "planeswalker" as a card
type – and the world began to spin faster. ~Cashew~

Happy
Halloween!!! ...and a Deck Contest???
10/31/06 - Well, it's Halloween, kiddies!
And it's time to start building. While some of you are going to go
trick-or-treating around town, I know there are others of you that are,
well, a bit too old to trick-or-treat. And thus, BUILD A DECK!
This isn't a formal contest, but it's a contest to build the most
intriguing Halloween themed deck. Whether you are focusing on
Witches, Dark Spells, Dark Cats, Candy, Jack-o-Lanterns, Werewolves,
Ghosts, or anything else related to Halloween, make a deck out of it and
post it in
this
forum thread. MDV Staff will review the submissions and crown the
top three decks with a place in the MDV Deck Database. All decks
are due by the end of the day. Please
check out the forum thread on this for more details. Thanks
for visiting. ~Streetz~ |

MDV IDOL 2: Voting Polls
Open!!!
9/4/06 -
Welcome fans to the MDV Reader Voting portion of MDV Idol 2: In the
Crossfire! During the last seasons voting session, we grouped all
the entries by the order of entry into the contest. This time, we
decided that we would have the grouping done by randomly pairing all the
contestants in groups, instead of just having the order of entry decide
the pairing. So I have taken the liberty and have randomly placed each
contestant into Groups A through E. Voting threads are located
here.

MDV Idol: Voting Starts
Now!
7/11/06 -The
original plan was to have you vote for one card and the top five vote
getting cards would be sent to the Judges for the final round, in which
a winner would be selected. However, with the extra large number of
entrants, I have decided to break the cards down, into five groups. The
card in each group that gets the most votes, will go on to the finals.
The groups will consist of three groups of nine, and two groups of
eight. ~Chris Newton~ |
