PLEASE HELP ME BALANCE THIS CARD.
I think the only thing that's really just a bit too strong is the landfall to give poison. Maybe creating elementals with Toxic N would be better? Either as tokens or as lands becoming creatures. Maybe you can remove the choose, and just do both, in that case. Not sure how the exiling 8 cards fits in. I think you can remove that. The exile part it's the Eldrazi side of the card, ingesting and etc. |

Forgive me for doing this, as I'm not very good at it.
Kurk, Biomass Shaper: Seems like a fun design, based around going wide/and or tall to cast creatures from the top of your library. It's even got a way to get rid of non-creature cards to surveil away option while giving you something in return. A nice green stompy commander.
Ziothu, Who Carries the World: Temur Dinosaurs. Seems odd at first, but most of the Dinosaurs we have are in red & green so it works out. Landfall to pinging any creature is a solid ability, especially if you ping your own guys for value, which is an excellent way to trigger the enrage abilities of your Dinosaurs. I'd run it.
Omnath, Locus of Corruption: I'm going to judge the 3rd iteration only. This one is a powerful commander, getting tokens, counters, and proliferation on landfall, and card draw for each corrupted opponent. Hexproof from colored spells makes it hard to deal with with anything, but abilities, but the mana cost of it is balanced out, especially since adding colorless mana isn't something a five colored deck wants to do too often.
Great and fun commanders all around. I think I'll give the win to emberfire17!

Thanks for the win! idk, something about the dino just felt more blue than white to me.
For the next challenge, make a wacky un-set commander.

I was very tempted to just go with this  GLaDOS  Legendary Artifact Creature - Construct  When GLaDOS enters the battlefield, gain control of all artifacts, hand each player a Portal Gun and promise them cake. Whenever a player finishes 19 or more test chambers, release the neurotoxin until GLaDOS leaves the battlefield. When the neurotoxin is released for 6 or more minutes, each human dies. 0/8 Note that human is not capitalized on purpose. But I decided I wanted an entry that could be a "real" card and not just a joke. Cestra, Divine Blessing    Legendary Creature - Angel  Flying, banding, flanking When Cestra, Divine Blessing enters the battlefield, choose a person outside the game. That person may put up to X enchantments with different names they own from outside the game on the battlefield, where X is the number of players. Each enchantment enters the battlefield under a different player’s control chosen at random. 4/4 |

What is it you are trying to tell me with this?  Ruling: If you target an ability, it gains the card types of the card where the ability originates from. If it becomes an Instant or Sorcery, it remains in play. |

If you don't mind me reusing a recent design: It didn't really fit in last time, but this is exactly the environment I envisioned for it:

Oh wow, completely missed my win  Big thanks! So, for your next challenge, design two cards you can use together as commanders without using the „normal“ Partner mechanic (because I'm really not a big fan of it) . Everything else is fair game, be it a pair of partners, two from a restricted list, a character with a fitting background, or something entirely new. |

Oathbreaker Ottomarus  Legendary Creature - Human Warrior  Prowess, lifelink. At the end of each turn, if you gained any life this turn, you may return an artifact card with mana value X or less from your graveyard to your hand, where X is the amount of life you've gained this turn. Signature Spell ( You can have a Signature as a second commander.) 1/4 Heroic Stamina   Instant - Signature ( Signature spells may only be cast if you control a commander.) Commanders you control get +1/+1 and are indestructible until end of turn. Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. (Also, have a common signature, to show how the set would probably be constructed.) Temporal Vision  Sorcery - Signature  ( Signature spells may only be cast if you control a commander.) Scry 1, surveil 1, draw 1. Cycling

Etain the Valiant Legendary Creature -- Elf Knight At the beginning of each combat, creatures you control get +1/+1 and gain your choice of first strike or vigilance until end of turn.  ,  : Remove target attacking creature from combat. Choose a Homeland (You can have a Homeland as a second commander.)3/4 The Deep ForestLegendary Land -- Homeland Play this land only if you control a commander creature you own. : Add . Commander creatures you own have trample and " : This creature gains hexproof until end of turn." Note: Even though there is no tax on the Homeland, my hope is that the limitation to only play the Homeland when you control your commander is a tax enough, since the commander is taxed already.

I reworked an old friend and gave them a friend to play with: Sploph, Casino Master Lengedary Creature - Starfish Advisor If you would flip a coin, instead roll a six-sided die. On a 4 or higher, its heads and you win the flip. On a 3 or lower its tails and you lose the flip. You may reroll each 1 you roll. Partner with coin flips and dice rolls (You may have two commanders if this is one and the other is a legendary creature that flips coins or rolls dice.)1/4 Keckle, Dicy Dealer Legendary Creature - Devil You may change the result of each die you roll by adding or substracting 1. You may add or substract another 1 for each time that die has been rerolled. , : Roll two d6. Create a number of 1/1 red Elemental creature tokens with haste equal to the difference. Exile those tokens at the beginning of the next end step. 2/1 ANd here is the luky infinite combo they can pull off: Activate Keckle. If you roll a 1 or 2, you can make Sploph reroll it (after potentially substracting with Keckle). If you then get 1, 2 or 3 you can reroll again. And so on. After 3 lucky rerolls, you can indefinitely reroll that die which will result in an arbitrary bonus once you stop. Infinite 1/1 haste army for the win. I did the math and the chances of this happening are a bit under 18% each time you try. |

Time to get this one rolling again. Don't really have the time to do a full judging right now – so I'll just declare a winner for today and hopefully be able to add some comments later on! And the winner is.. emberfire17! |

For the next challenge, make a unique tribal commander for a creature type that doesn't get much attention. No angels, humans, rogues, etc.

I've kind of gotten in the habit of including a bit of explanation, since it's not always clear what I'm referencing. For this one, I wanted to invoke the gods of dreams - the Oneiroi in Greek, or their Roman equivalent the Somnia. There wasn't really a good way to "Magic-ify" them, since there's a number with different names, and since they can appear in dreams as different figures, animals, or even objects, a title seemed more appropriate than a name. Somnium is obviously "a Somnia", and artifex means "an artist, actor, master of a craft, or mastermind". It seemed very fitting for a lord of dreams (Illusions). I struggled with giving him Flying, Shadow, or even both, but as much as Flying didn't feel as appropriate, even just Shadow felt like a stretch to include, and while both might work in an environment that prominently featured Shadow returning, I knew it was too much in a vacuum. Eventually I had the thought "Flying and Shadow would just be unblockable with extra steps.", and that felt kind of right, so I rolled with it.

Syr Rodfin, the Unconventional Legendary Creature - Human Knight Wizard Walls you control have flying and can attack as though they didn't have defender. Whenever a Wall you control attacks, it gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is its base toughness. "Why cower behind your ramparts with a weapon when the rampart can be the weapon?"
3/3

Eater of Reefs 
Legendary Creature - Starfish Starfish you control get +0/+1 and assign combat damage equal to their toughness rather than their power. Whenever a Starfish you control dies and its base toughness is higher or equal to 1, you may instead exile it and create a token copy of it, but its base toughness is one less. 0/5
