Well, here be my entry:  The creature ended up being mono-white cause the idea wouldn't logically fit into other colors, but I still believe it does a few things that keep in white's flavor but aren't usually done there. First, giving creatures to your opponent isn't something any color usually does, and gaining control of stuff isn't usually white's territory, this time being more in line with white due to the workship themes and the fact the tokens were kind of yours to begin with. Tutan's most obvious built-around aspects are the giving your opponent tokens which you can then steal after transforming Tutan. However, it is also possible to build around him with an army of tokens of your own, all ready to get buffed once he transforms. There's also a bit of smaller but still present lifegain support, in the form of gaining life everyturn. Tutan is constantly giving your opponent blockers after all, so it's a good idea to build a deck with proper defenses and things that discourage attacking into you (or you wait until your opponents start going at each other to prevent Tutan from transforming). |

Maybe make the first type an Avatar as opposed to a God? To give it a more dramatic feel with the type change when it flips?

Green Gruul needs more card advantage? Why didn't you say so?
 Loam-Archivist Yalta -    Legendary Creature - Dryad Shaman  If you would reveal or exile one or more cards from the top of your library, you may put a card from your hand or graveyard on top of your library before doing so. "The mulch holds more wisdom than a thousand libraries."3/3 How She Works: Run lots of effects like Chaos Warp or Aid from the Cowl - you can get a lot more consistency out of them. |

Green needs more card advantage? Why didn't you say so?
 How She Works: Yalta is for all those Green cards that let you look at the top X cards of your library and tutor a specific kind of card. Want to use Adventurous Impulse to recur a creature and tuck some cards you don't care about? She can do that. Want to do some absolutely filthy things with Descendant's Path or Lost in the Woods? She'll supply the toys. How exactly would that work with, say, this? |

@ Idea : Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked my card I actually didn't know someone else had a similar concept already as I intentionally didn't look at the other entries The lack of a rating buton/ like button and the fact I don't particularly have anything to respond to this puts in that awkward spot of not being if risking seeming rude by not responding or of having to respond with something awkward like "I see" or this. So I'll settle for responding like this to let'cha know I'm giving it a thumbs up, much appreciated for your effort, and hopefully I'll have a better response next time around. |

Gennai the Great General  Legendary Creature - Human Soldier  Whenever a nontoken creature with power 1 or less enters the battlefield under your control, add or . Whenever a nontoken creature with power 1 or less enters the battlefield under your control, you may pay . If you do, draw a card. 2/3 I tried to make it so that when a or creature ETB they add mana of the other color, but that would make the font too small. I can see this being a combo deck with a bunch of 1-drops and Ashnod's Altar for a lot of fun stuff. Oh, heavens, this, the Altar, and Rally the Ancestors. Sounds fun to me. |

This challenge will be closed in 48~72 hours, I probably won't have time to judge it earlier, so, get your last entries or edits in!

Astaya, the Mist Queen  Legendary Creature - Avatar Other creatures you control can’t be blocked and get -X/-0, where X is Astaya, the Mist Queen’s power. 5/5 Finnaly a really good use for all those blue debuffs! (This is a crossover with the Challenge Slots.) |

sdfkjgh : So, this encourages to build a superfriends deck. Giving it partner is clever, to allow broader color combos. I like the idea, but the card itself is a little bit underwhelming. Three mana can buy you better things than a repeatabli semi-proliferate. Also, the "can only ever be your commander." seems a little bit arbitrary, I don't get why can't it be played in the 99 or in a non-Commander deck. Idea : I think this can give you huge amounts of life. Very huge amounts of life. Also, it can make games very slow. For me, the worst part is the second half. First of all, it's a break in white, because it allows you to gain control of all tokens (if it was restricted to the tokens it created, it would be fine). Also, the lifegain of the first face is, in my opinion, much better than the one-shot effect of the second half. Lady Mapi : Oh boy, this is great! It's very innovative, encourages build around... If I had to make a complaint about it, I would say that it's very complex to understand for new players, but that's not something I care about in this contests. I really want to build a deck with it. Jartis : My instincts tells me this should be Boros, but it's what I asked for. It's a solid design, but I think it could be mono-blue. Having access to black allows for some degenereacy, and that's always nice. Tesagk : Hey, it's your classic Orzhov lifegain commander! Orzhov already has a lot of lifegain-matters commanders, but they tend to be enablers while this one is a win condition. I like it, even though I think 5 life every upkeep can be too much. ludvikeverviolet : This is nice, but the last ability seems off to me. Blue doesn't sacrifice creatures for cards, so it would feel better as a tap abilty (tapping tokens in Azami-stlye). The other abilities are great. Xenozfan2 : I'm always in for combo decks in Boros! In this case, while the combo potential is there, this is mainly a buffed Mentor of the Meek, but that's interesting as a buildaround. I see this in a very aggro deck that doesn't run out of steam. Also, would it be too broken if it also triggered with tokens? Probably yes. melono : Boon Reflection or Sanguine Bond (almost)... I like it. @fl00: Cast Pin to the Earth and make your whole board unblockable? Yeah. I see your opponents putting buffing Auras on her, and that's hilarious. A lot of good entries, but only one may stand... Thank you all for participating!

Awesome! I haven't won one of these in a while - Yalta was a risk that I'm glad paid off. Your next challenge is going to be an odd one (inspired by a deck I built around Alesha, Who Smiles at Death): Make a three-color commander and pick a color pair within that commander's color identity. I'm going to pick one of those colors at random, and then I'll remove it from your card before judging it. To clarify, that means that I'll remove it from any hybrid mana you use, and then I'll delete all abilities and costs that require that color of mana. Other than that, there are no limitations your card should not have any mana abilities. Much like last time, I'm looking for accuracy, creativity, elegance, and interactivity: Judging is going to be on June 15th. May the best card win! |

So are you deleting everything associated with the color of mana or are you deleting just the abilities precisely indicating the color of mana? Like say the creature has haste and R: Deal 1 damage to any target. Would you remove just the second ability or both? |

However, if that creature cost  to cast (for example), I'd delete that entire casting cost (and then I'd yell at you for giving me a creature that I can't cast.) Hope that clarifies things. |

Tick-Tock, Scourge of Hook  Legendary Creature--Crocodile When Tick-Tock, Scourge of Hook enters the battlefield, put two -1/-1 counters on target creature.
Tick-Tock, Scourge of Hook can’t be blocked as long as defending player controls a creature with a -1/-1 counter on it.
Whenever Tick-Tock, Scourge of Hook deals combat damage to a player or planeswalker, you may destroy target creature with a -1/-1 counter on it. 6/5
Chosen color pair: |

Fair warning, sdfkjgh - I'll delete the whole mana cost for either of those colors, and then I'll complain that you gave me a colorless card with no way to cast it. |

Lady Mapi will you always remove the mana cost unless it’s hybrid?

@omnividrus: In that case, you're going to lose one of the two activated abilities. --- gluestick248 To clarify (assuming I delete from a design): 1) I'll turn  into . 2) I'll turn  into "pay 2 life". 3) I'll turn  into . 4) If there are any symbols remaining, I'm going to completely remove the cost or ability that contains them. So if your card was: Cool Card #75632 - Legendary Creature - Cool Dude  : ~ can't be blocked this turn. ,  : Scry 1. : Draw a card. 9/9 It'd become... Cool Card #75632 - Legendary Creature - Cool Dude : ~ can't be blocked this turn. Pay 2 life, : Scry 1. 9/9 EDIT: Oh, and if your card was, say... CARD Legendary Creature - A Card You may cast ~ from your graveyard for . 2/2 It'd be this if I deleted : CARD Legendary Creature - A Card 2/2 And this if I deleted : CARDLegendary Creature - A Card You may cast ~ from your graveyard for . 2/2 |

Although this challenge is kinda confusing, once you figure out what's going on it's fun as hell. I love it! Sorry about the miniature text size, but you're deleting one of the abilities anyway. The chosen colors are . |

Lady Mapi I have made the two versions of the cards with the deleted costs, just in case you want to vizualize better, if it's not ok, just give me a shout.
