In A Gentleman in Moscow, the main character is under house arrest in a very fancy hotel. Thus… Luxury Confinement  Enchantment — Aura Enchant creature an opponent controls. When ~ enters the battlefield, enchanted creature’s controller creates two Treasure tokens. Enchanted creature can’t attack or block.

Idea - After a starting investment of   , you have to make three Sheeps enter your battlefield; there aren't many sheeps in Magic, so you would need to include some changelings in your deck as well to increase the chances of transforming the enchantment. The payback is a 2/2 with a luck-based lifegain ability that has a 50% chance of giving you less than what you paid for ( Ghost-Lit Redeemer makes you gain 2 for  ), and a Tolsimir-like ability, that you have to pay a non indifferent cost to activate, that creates a somewhat versatile robo-sheep which, after a total of 6 mana investment, seems to me a bit underwhelming even if it's "respawnable". I'm not saying it's a bad card, I just think that it's a bit too mana-inefficient for my tastes.
gluestick248 - The card itself is pretty good, I could actually see it printed. However, I don't think that it represents that well the gentleman's predicament in terms of flavor. Since "In case he would step out of the hotel, he would be executed by firing squad.", an effect such as "When enchanted creature attacks or blocks, destroy it." would have been more appropriate, in my opinion.
The winner is gluestick248!

Thanks pernicious! I did consider your suggestion of killing the creature when it attacks, but ultimately I went for the more familiar template. Your next challenge is to make a card for an existing Universes Beyond property (such as Stranger Things, Godzilla, or even the newly announced Assassin’s Creed) or a property intended for young children (Think Sesame Street or Dora the Explorer) A short explanation would be helpful as I may not be familiar with the property you choose. Good luck!

A card to kill Emrakul, but not kill Marit Lage, I like it very much.

 Noo-Noo  Artifact Creature - Construct  Whenever Noo-Noo attacks, exile up to one other target tapped artifact until Noo-Noo leaves the battlefield. 3/3 The vacuum cleaner from Teletubbies. It notoriously sucks up everything that is left lying around on the floor.

…And here we are: kefke: We usually see land destruction in red these days, but it’s totally in pie for green as well. The drawback for hitting a basic is interesting, but I think it would read better as an upside for hitting a nonbasic to be in line with other effects. For me, it seems you’re only going to destroy a basic if it’ll take your opponent entirely off a color, and even then you’re replacing the land, so that seems weak. Definitely an interesting use for land tokens though. Phyrexian Ymonrah: That’s a whole lot of damage for a whole lot of mana. To me, this basically boils down to 15 damage for 14 mana thanks to both its Atomic Breath plus haste and attacking for 15 with Gargantuan, plus a whole bunch of extra stuff if it sticks around. Ultimately, it is just an expensive burn spell stapled to an expensive huge creature. Very fitting for the King of Monsters, but even Godzilla, Primeval Champion only costs 9. Flo00: Based on your explanation, the flavor here is spot-on. Playing this makes your opponents think twice about tapping their artifacts, but it still lets them if they want to, and the summoning sickness gives everyone a turn’s worth of notice before this starts exiling things. I’m not sure if this has a home anywhere, being a 5 mana 3/3 with an ability that is only relevant sometimes, but the design is interesting. pistonsmcgraw: For the sake of this review, I’m going to assume you have plenty of space in your autograph book to sign Sol Ring, and will be able to untap an artifact every turn. This is a powerful effect, but I don’t think it’s broken, since it’s limited to once a turn. I don’t know this character very well, but the card seems more blue than anything else. I’ll give the win here to pistonsmcgraw for the commander which feels like it has some neat synergies without being overpowered. Runner-up goes to Flo00 for the interesting and flavorful card that unfortunately doesn’t seem to have a place.

Thanks for the feedback. The feedback still applies, but I meant to sign the name as in sign language lol.
