You won’t hear me objecting to so many design submissions, but you WILL hear all about the first half of our cards with the Objection mechanic! Keywords, ability words, and flavor, this challenge is all about defining “Objection!” as a Magic mechanic.
Due to some Discord issues and due to the huge number of submissions, this week’s ep just covers the first half of our submissions. The second half will be next week!
Moonshot is doing a Princess Week as part of a charity incentive, check it out!
