Y'all get judged in 24 hours. Or something like that. "24 hours or something like that" was not supposed to be 9 days. Deleting your own judging is a surprisingly big mood killer so I will announce winners and just feedback people that message or ping me - hopefully that's okay! I'm gonna post winners here, but if you would like detailed feedback (as you understandably might), just shoot me a message or @ me here and I will toss you feedback in typical Fleur-esque longform fashion. Promise. Daij_Djan wins, with Xenozfan2 as runner-up. |

Technically "double" counts as an evergreen keyword, as it's classified as an "evergreen keyword action." I decided to make the activated ability two things that are commonly doubled in both red and green (damage and the P/T or number of +1/+1 counters of things.) Also, Fleur this seems about ready to go, whenever you're ready! Artist credit? |

I updated my thing to add artist credit below the card (if that's not acceptable I'll update the card.) Also, Fleur, I'd love some longform as well! |

Big thanks for the win - will think about a new challenge by tomorrow!
EDIT: Sorry for the delay, I literally feel asleep yesterday xD As the last few challenges were more technical, I decided to go with a classic flavor-driven one instead: Design a Commander based on a TV series or a movie!

Buffy, the Slayer     Legendary Creature - Human Warrior  First strike Whenever ~ blocks or becomes blocked by a Vampire, Demon, or Devil, it gets +2/+2 for each Vampire, Demon, or Devil blocking it until end of turn and gains double strike until end of turn. : Put ~ from onto the battlefield from the command zone. Do this only if an opponent controls a Vampire, Demon, or Devil creature. 3/3  |

Technically, we're going with any one of the movie versions (except Russel Crowe, his singing was godawful); but, for preference, we're sticking with Philip Quast. However, we could be persuaded to choose this one.
Inspector Javert  Legendary Creature--Human Soldier When Inspector Javert enters the battlefield, choose the name of a creature an opponent controls.
Vigilance
Creatures with the chosen name can only attack you.
Inspector Javert must block or be blocked by a creature with the chosen name if able.
When a creature with the chosen name deals combat damage to you, sacrifice Inspector Javert. 5/4 |

You forgot to instruct players to attach the Aura to a creature. As it is now, it becomes an Aura, then immediately goes to a graveyard for not enchanting anything, due to state-based actions.It's worse than that, Jim; since the 0/1's a token, it ceases to be as soon as it hits the graveyard, so all that other stuff wouldn't even get a chance to happen! Also, why create an new creature type, when there's an existing one that works so well? I'ma try'n fix:
: Create a 0/1 green and black Egg Horror creature token with defender and "If this creature would die, instead attach it to target creature and it becomes an Aura with enchant creature, 'At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on enchanted creature', and 'When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, create a 3/3 black Horror creature token with deathtouch.'"
I made you a token in the only style that could fit:

 Hiccup, Dragon Tamer Legendary Creature - Human Barbarian As long as you control a Dragon, Hiccup, Dragon Tamer gets +2/+1 and has flying and haste. : Gain control of target Dragon, untap it and put a +1/+1 counter on it. 2/3 Doesn't capture his inventive side but hey, you can't have everything in one card. |

sdfkjgh Thanks! Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I'd missed a bunch of technical stuff. I've updated my entry with a fix based off your feedback, and I created tokens for each stage.

Grandmother Willow Legendary Creature - Plant Spirit Defender When Grandmother Willow enters the battlefield, search your library for a creature card and reveal that card. Shuffle your library, then put the card on top of it. : The next time another nontoken creature card you control dies this turn, sacrifice Grandmother Willow. If you do, return that card to the battlefield. 3/7 I was going to do Malcolm Reynolds, but this popped into my head. Yes, there's got to be some kind of infinite combo with Saffi Eriksdotter, but I'm not seeing it. Synergy, yes; combo, no. |

Big thanks for the reminder – because I indeed forgot  Had to stop when I was almost done and the forgot actually finishing it. But finally, here we go! { Tesagk} Top down flavor for this entry, no doubt about that. I don't think it would be an interesting commander to build around as her power basically is completely tied to your opponents' decks. If there at least were more cards like Shields of Velis Vel or Blades of Velis Vel within her colors.. { sdfkjgh} This surely is a quite unique card, I give you that. I just can't really wrap my head around it somehow – it has lots of abilities, but it feels like rather weak and not really interesting to play for having so many words. Forcing blocks nowadays isn't really white anymore, but that's really a very minor complaint. { gluestick248} Interesting choice bringing the (mostly) black Shade ability into green, even though to be fair it has been done before. That aside, Groot looks flavorful, simple and clean – I'm just not sure whether he'd be that interesting to build around as a Commander (seems like especially the original Omnath would result in a similar but more intereting deck). { viriss} Token-ception! Seriously, I'm not sure whether I should be amused, amazed or just baffled. I think in the end, while I enjoy the concept, the original card is just way too wordy with ten lines of text – and when you don't have the tokens available, things will probably get rather messy really fast. { gateways7} Have to admit, I actually had to look up that show – especially as your card really is more inspired by the concept rather than being a direct reference to a specific character from this show. Which is not a bad thing at all, mind you. I actually really like the concept of your card, fitting the voting concept of the show as well as working nicely within a game of Magic. I'm kind of concerned ths best way to play the Counsil would be not having any other creatures and using it as a control finished, though  { Flo00} I'm a bit torn here. I like how the first ability wants you to combine him with a Dragon themed deck and his second ability is flavorful for sure – however I'm concerned it might be either useless or too oppressive (depending on your opponents' decks, obviously). Having my own Dragon Commander get stolen by him just by tapping? Oh boy.. { Xenozfan2} The second entry I had to look up as I didn't know the name in this case. I do like her card quite much – even though I'm not sure her activated ability really fits her character (as far as I know)? Also I get what you mean about Saffi Eriksdotter, it really feels like there probably is an infinity combo out there – but I don't really see it and as it would require (at least) three cards, I wouldn't worry much about it anyway { melono} The general issues with mixing +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on a single card aside, what's stopping me from paying and then dropping one million -1/-1 counters on my Eager Cadet to get two million +1/+1 counters for my Moving Castle? The ability really needs some more restrictions. {And the winner is..} gateways7, congratz to the win! |

Daij_Djan untapping your own dragon and putting a +1/+1 counter on it doesn't seem useless to me, even if your opponent doesn't play one. Maybe until EOT control + haste + counter would be better balanced?

Have to admit, I didn't even think about using that ability on your own dragon xD But yeah, turning it into a Threaten effect sounds like a better idea in my book. |

Thanks so much for the win! Survivor is one of my favorite shows (check it out y'all) so it was fun to make a card around it.
For your next challenge, create a legendary Commander that has only colored mana in it's mana cost. This can be normal mana color symbols, hybrid mana, or an idea of your own making (mined mana and planeswalker mana come to mind.) However, one caveat - don't make a five-color card. I just think they're boring. Looking for creativity, elegance, balance, and flavor - good luck!

 Gravedigger Illesc - Legendary Creature - Human Warlock Whenever a basic land enters the battlefield under a player's control, that player puts the top two cards of their library into their graveyard. You may play land cards from your opponent's graveyards. 1/3 |

Khipith and Yhorphan, the Reins Legendary Creature - Human Advisor Players who control more lands than you can't play lands. Any opponent may, any time, have you search your library for a land card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library for them to ignore this effect until end of turn. (This doesn't use the stack.)Players who have more cards in hand than you can't draw cards. Any opponent may have you draw a card any time for them to ignore this effect until end of turn. 4/4
p/t because they're meant to be two 2/2's

Anya, Legion Commander Legendary Creature - Human Soldier Lifelink Other creatures you control have lifelink. Whenever you gain life, you may discard a card, then draw a card. 2/2 Yeah, you could do go wide, but you could also do pingers. Yes, I intentionally did not include an "if you do" in the last ability. |
