melono I don't know if this would make it any better; the first thing that came to my mind when reading this was Each instant and sorcery spell with mana value 1 you cast has replicate. The replicate cost is equal to its mana cost. (When you cast it, copy it for each time you paid its replicate cost. You may choose new targets for the copies.)You can't replicate spells more than twice. That unintentionally limits actual Replicate spells as well (even ones with CMC>1); I'd suggest not using this wording. Perhaps it should be: Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell with mana value 1, it gains "replicate X, where X is this spell's mana cost. You can't pay this cost more than twice" That way, if you cast Stream of Thought, you have two replicate costs, one of which has a cap. |

I knew I missed one challenge to judge 
Probably won't be able to do so over the weekend (except when I maybe do?), but definitely afterwards - so get your final edits and entries in, everyone  |

Yeah sorry, this has been going on for way too long already. So here we go: { viriss} I'm a bit torn here. On the one hand I love this design and I really want to play her in a Reaper King deck – but this is the Commander Game afterall so I her to judge her as being a commander herself as well, and excluding some Scrapbasket-like shenenigans her colorless color identity really clashes with her first ability (and almost a third of all existing Scarecrows likewise caring about colored creatures) hard. So as much as I like the design, it kind of fights against itself in this specific challenge. { Flo00} To be honest, I'm not sure how to evaluate this one properly. The flavor is cool and Commander suspend is definitely clever, but for some reason the card as a whole just doesn't „click“ with me – and I cannot really explain why. Honestly sorry for not being able to offer any proper feedback  { melono} First things first: Hilarious flavor text!  That aside, I also like your design quite much. Feels unique, definitely very strong, yet still balanced, and you have a nice variety of options to choose from. Cool card! { hydraheadhunter} Now this is a very unique design for sure. To be honest I doubt the rules will really be able to handle this (or with such a short wording), but if we just assume for a moment that they do: Cool concept! To be honest I'm not convinced it plays as interesting as the concept sounds in the end though (since it's kind of a keyword soup card afterall), but still. Really like how you added an additional reward for using all five colors – and added a „colorless mode“ as well. Minor nitpick: While I know white has access to Hexproof, it mostly grants the protection to other stuff rather than to itself (that's blue/green's territory) – maybe go with First strike instead? { sdfkjgh} Why no lifelink? That aside, I like its Ward ability (even if drawing three might be a bit much) – I hope we'll see official cards using similar designs in the future – but I'm not a big fan of its  ability, especially with a sac-option. Imaging using it on turn 4 (loose 9 life), getting a hasty swing at an opponent (looses 7, you gain 7), and then sacrificing Motkebas again allowing you to (if nothing else had happened this turn) point 23 damage at any target and gain that much life, leaving you with a net-gain of 21 life.. Yeah no, that's obviously broken, sorry. { Jartis} First of all: While I have heard about Pathfinder quite a few times over the years, I've never played it and have no knowledge about its lore – meaning I have no idea whether Estra is an existing character and if he is whether you did him justice That aside though, I like white cards offering unique types of card advantage – and I've always had a soft spot for Totem armor in general – so I like your card quite much! {And the winner is..} OK wow, this one has really been a hard choice. I knew which two entries I liked best from the start, but deciding between the two was tough. I literally switch both of your entries rankings several times – but in the end I decided to give the win to Jartis with melono as an insanely close runner-up! |

Thanks for the win! Estra is "established," in as much as she is the character they use whenever they want to talk about how the Spiritualist class might look in the setting. She's protected by the spirit of her dead husband. But I digress For the next challenge, as I often want commanders for the decks I'm working on at the time, design a commander that cares about enchantments (preferably sagas). Have fun! |

Ben Quickspeaker   Legendary Creature - Human Shaman  Constellation — Whenever an enchantment enters the battlefield under your control, proliferate.  , Sacriifce an enchantment: Draw a card. 2/2 You can sacrifice a saga while it's final chapter is on the stack. I was thinking about letting him enter with +1/+1 counters, but I like how not-tight the text box is. |

Originally I tried a different concept, but that one felt a bit too on the nose - so instead here we go:
Works particularly nice with Sagas, Seals, enchantment creatures... |

 Rowaser, Master of Tales    (W,U,B,R,G) Legendary Planeswalker - Rowaser  (Mythic) Whenever you put a lore counter on a permanent you control, put a loyalty counter on Rowaser, Master of Tales also.  (-2): You may remove up to three lore counters from target Saga.  (-8): You may search your library for any number of Sagas, reveal them, then put them onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library. Starting Loyalty:  (5) Lore text that can't appear on the card: "Some say he's as old as magic itself" - Unknown Planeswalker |

Yo, it's been a while, since I posted here... Oh well. Here's my shot. Kalvax, In Search of Destiny Legendary Enchantment Creature - Nymph At the beginning of combat during each of your turns, you may return target enchantment card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of your next end step. Whenever Kalvax or another enchantment enters the battlefield under your control, Kalvax explores. 3/5 Techincally it's not saga themed, but it does synergize decently with them. EDIT: Fixed the second ability, changed type so that it fits somewhere and other small format things. |

Judging! { Flo00} A nice general enchantress commander that can work with Sagas or with GW's tendency towards +1/+1 counters, plus a bit of card draw which they can really use. { sdfkjgh} I appreciate the use of five color for the use of every saga if you want. That said, I do have some concerns. I can see some pretty major issues with generating a random counter, particularly with the introduction of ability counters. Also, triple proliferate for 2 mana and two counters seems insanely strong. It's a lot going on, and I can see it being really strong, but probably a bit too strong, tbf. { Daij_Djan} I honestly love how simple this is. It gives you access to normal enchantress colors, plus blue, and makes sure all your Sagas come back again and again, not to mention Auras and stuff. { Tesagk} Five color, an interesting loyalty mechanic, a big ult, and a way to reuse your Sagas, albeit at sorcery speed. Powerful, but narrow, which I think is a good thing in this instance. { lordpat} Returning an enchantment with haste is interesting in that it's kinda only useful for enchantment creatures. A good way to get the first ability of a Saga off repeatedly, and the red bit of caring about combat could make for some interesting synergy with extra combats. Explore was an interesting choice as a way to kiiinda get card advantage without having pure draw power. {Winner}It was very close, but I'm giving the win to Tesagk with Daij_Djan as the runner-up. Congratulations! |

This challenge comes from my wife, "create a commander that fits in with Viking lore." I like it. So we'll do that. Bonus points for relevance or interaction with Kaldheim.

Because Doomskar can go fuck itself to death:
Líf and Lífþrasir  Legendary Creature--Human Flash
This spell costs less to cast for each creature that died this turn.
Líf and Lífþrasir have indestructible as long as they entered the battlefield this turn.
When Líf and Lífþrasir enter the battlefield, put a creature card with mana value of X or less from your hand onto the battlefield. 4/4 |

The Unknown Builder  Legendary Creature - Giant Permanents with brick counters don’t untap during their controller’s untap steps. Whenever The Unknown Builder attacks, search defending player’s library for an artifact or land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped under thier control with a brick counter on it, then they shuffle. Then if that player controls three or more permanents with brick counters on them, gian control of target creature that player controls and remove all brick counters from those permanents. 7/5 (front face)-------------- Avilsari, Blazing Steed Legendary Creature - Horse At the beginning of each combat, if Avilsari, Blazing Steed is untapped, each opponent may pay 2 and tap an untapped creature they control. If they do, tap Avilsari and you may create Pleinir, a legendary 4/4 red Horse creature with haste. Otherwise, you may have another target creature get +2/+2 and gain haste until end of turn. 2/2 This is about the guy who built the wall for the Gods and Svaðilfari. I'd like to give the Giant a class but I don't know an MTG class that fits a builder. |

Andvari's CircletA generic, A red, A white, and A black Legendary Artifact - Equipment Equip 4. Sacrifice three treasure: Attach Andvari's Circlet to target creature. Equiped creature gets +X/+0 where X is the number of treasures you control, has flying, and is a legendary dragon in addition to its other types. Andvari’s Circlet can be your commander, and creatures equipped with Andvari’s Circlet do commander damage as if they were Andvari’s Circlet.
Rulings: - Andvari's Circlet's second ability may be activated at instant speed, and may target a creature you don't control.
- Commander damage is tracked by Andvari's Circlet, not the creature it is equipped to. Even if the creature it is equipped to, or the owner of the creature it is equipped to changes, the amounts of commander damage dealt won't.
- Andvari's Circlet's last ability causes the equipped creature to do commander damage only if the instance of Andvari's Circlet equipped to that creature is a commander. For non-commander instances of Andvari's Circlet, its last ability has no effect.
- If a game has two Andvari's Circlet commanders each tracks its commander damage seporately (creatures equipped with Andvari's Circlet A do not deal commander damage for Andvari's Circlet B.)
- If Andvari's Circlet and the creature it is equipped to are both commanders, when that creature deals combat damage, that damage will be considered commander damage both for Andvari's Circlet and for the creature itself. (This does NOT cause the damage dealt to double).
- If a creature is equipped with two Andvari's Circlets, each of their last abilities will be considered seporately. If A and B are both commanders, when the equipped creature deals combat damage that damage will be considered commander damage for both Andvari's Circle A and Andvari's Circlet B. (Equipping a creature with two Andvari's Circlet commanders will NOT cause the creature's combat damage to double).
Based on Andvari's ring which turned Fafnir into a dragon.
{And for fun, here's a Fafnir and a Sigurd to throw in the ninety-nine.}
Fafnir, The Ring-Theif
Two generic, a white, and a black
Legendary Creature - Human Noble Rogue
Dragons you control have double strike.
Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player create a treasure.
2/3
Sigurd, Thief-Slayer
Two generic, a white, and a red
Legendary Creature - Human Noble Warrior
Whenever you create a treasure, you may have Sigurd, Thief-Slayer deal 2 damage to any target.
Whenever you sacrifice a treasure, you may have Sigurd, Thief-Slayer deals 1 damage to any target.
3/3

From the Norse myth where Loki turns into a gadfly to bite the hell out of some dwarves so they can't finish Mjolnir. Originally in the myth this mostly fails, but sometimes Magic is about the intent rather than the exact results.
Debated on making this mono green because a counterspell specific to artifacts feels up its alley, but I couldn't really justify a mono green card that both counterspelled AND created a flier. Not in this economy. But I also want to give a counterspell to something that isn't blue necessarily, so here we are.

itsmekidney, You might not be able to afford mono green in this economy, but i think two color green-black would be fine. Three colors feels a bit much.

I'd like to give the Giant a class but I don't know an MTG class that fits a builder. I was curious so I did a quick search and it might simply be that there's no fitting type at all so WoTC goes with no class - cards like Goblin Masons, Stoic Builder, etc simply don't have one. Magic has a lot of Smiths and Artificers that make things out of metal and Wizards that summon all sorts of fancy constructs, but regular brick/stone/wood builders are often overlooked. |

Oops, I forgot! How about then, instead...
Here's the dwarves that crafted Mjolnir, but more importantly for this card created the golden boar and the replicating ring. Dwarves know that all the best artifacts are made of gold, and will make sure that all your artifacts are also made of gold.
EDIT: It's the exact same card, but I wanted to put it in the Kaldheim frame.

"When in doubt, do a common." 
That aside, I also like your design quite much. Feels unique, definitely very strong, yet still balanced, and you have a nice variety of 
, Remove three counters from a permanent you control: Remove all counters from target permanent. Each player gains 1 life for each counter removed this way from the targeted permanent.
