Theme
The Head Judge of the Inventors’ Fair is none other than the planeswalker Tezzeret! A showdown at the fair’s finale featuring him constructing impossibly quick artifact creatures led to a quick escape, having stolen all of the fair’s inventions. He must be up to something… but what?
This round you’ll be designing a Tezzeret planeswalker card that could fit into the Kaladesh story.

Final
After some discussion with the CCL organizers, we are making some slight changes to the schedule.
We’ve been historically running into a scheduling problem where there just isn’t enough time to complete a CCL in a month. We’ve also been noticing that the third week has seen low participation, likely as people see they are no longer in the hunt for a Top 4 spot, or assuming it’s only for people who have finished high in the first two rounds. What we are changing is making the third round really matter, by re-instituting the Top 8, to get more people interested in later rounds, and basically shortening up the schedule a bit.
Consider this an experiment, but one that might just stay.
+3 points for each First Place +2 points for each Second Place +1 point for each Third Place
+1 bonus point for posting critiques +1 bonus point for posting a Top 3 ranking
The points received by each player will be added up and calculated as a percentage of the maximum points that player could have obtained, which are given by 3 ×(number of critiques received)+ 2.
The percentages will then be ordered in decreasing order and that will be the standings for the round.
The percentages from the first three rounds will be added up at the end of Round 3 to determine the Top 4 or 8, depending on the number of entrants. 2 bonus points will be awarded to anyone who voted in August’s final poll.
The same system will be used for the final round.
As usual, the final winner will be determined by a public poll.
Electric! Energy counters is perhaps the prime new mechanic for Kaladesh! Energy counters serve as an interesting and creative alternate and optional resource. This week, you’ll be designing your best non-creature energy spell.
Challenge
Design a noncreature card that has and/or uses energy counters.
Create a new non-creature spell.
It must have one or more E (energy counters) in its rules text.
It may not be a land.
Please place a rarity for your new card: (C for Common, U for Uncommon, R for Rare, or M for Mythic Rare)

Critique the cards of the six people immediately below your name, looping to the top of the list as necessary. Then, among those six, rank what you feel are the top three. (Ranking your top 3 gets you a point, and completing critiques gets you another point.)
Critiques are technically optional, but they’re one of the easiest ways to get points. And you don’t have to write very much either!
An easy way to get the six cards you are critiquing in a post is to use the Multi-quote button for each submission. Start with the first person who is below your name, look for their post, and click on the Multi-quote button. Then continue down the list. Click Reply when you have all six queued up.
After that, briefly write about what you like and don’t like on those cards. It’s totally okay to edit this in more than one sitting. Feel free to revise this as much as you like before the deadline.
You’ll also then rank them with your own “top 3.” (Usually people will wrap the critiques and the top 3 into separate spoiler tags, but however you would like to do it all is fine.)
Please remember to judge your entries in accordance to the round’s requirements.
You have until Wednesday, November 16th 23:59 CST for all critiques.
