Judging time! perniciousNice card that captures the essence of Ob Nixilis well. It is, however, a strictly worse version of Promise of Power. hydraheadhunterYour walker requires a lot of build around to work but is powerful. Your ignition card on the other hand is just really really bad. I mean I get the flavor and it somewhat works with the non-walker Thibalt but in all other cases it is just really weak. I know Terminate is a tough comparison but even something like Kiku's Shadow is probably better most of the times. Flo00Fine idea and a nice twist on a  board wipe. You can build around it by playing a lot of one and two mana creatures with etb effects of a very high cmc creature that makes the exiled card stay suspended forever. Oh, and the flavor works great, too! {And the winner is...}
Flo00! Flavor and functionality went hand in hand here and granted you the win. Thanks everyone for participating! |

Thanks for the win ameisenmeister! For the next challenge, I'd like you to cycle around Goblin Haberdasher. This can be horizontally (different color) or vertically (different rarity). |

Vedalken Cobbler
a generic and two blue
Creature - Vedalken Solmancer
Whenever a creature you control deals combat
damage to a player, if they are wearing shoes,
draw a card (You must be able to see at least
one shoes. You cannot argue that they're
probably wearing shoes.)
FT: When you control the soles of thousands,
you start to feel true power.
1/4

After a quick survey of the first three pages of scryfall creatures, approximately 37 of 180 creatures synergize with cobbler. With that in mind (assuming its representative of the whole canon), I'm bumping him up to a three drop.

Meticulous Optician   Creature - Human Artificer  Vigilance Other creatures you control wearing glasses or lenses in their art have vigilance. One eye open to see the letter on the eyechart. One eye covered because now he's testing the other one.
2/2

hydraheadhunter wins. Not sure if I'll find the time to do a full judging later.

Disjoin Forces: I just got done playing in a two-headed giant tournie, and I popped a minds aglow in my Nekusar deck. Now, Join forces is technically a complete cycle, but the mardu ones feel really weak and the red one feels completely out of place. So, how about we fix that. Design a replacement "Join forces" card in red, black, or white. Alternatively, make a card for the two color Join Forces cycle. |

Augmented Wizards  Creature - Vedalken Wizard Ward  (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays .) Whenever you cast an artifact spell, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. Not all wizards wield magic.2/2

Idea: Strong flavor; the wording of the +1/+1 ability is messy, I assume you wanted to write something akin to "Whenever you draw a card, if it wasn't the first one you drew this turn...".
serraphim: Good flavor; the lifedrain ability is a bit too strong, I'd reduce it to 1 lifedrain and maybe I'd also make it more difficult to trigger, for example by changing it into "Whenever you cast a black sorcery...".
melono: I like the spin you took for the flavor. It seems an overall solid card to me. I'd only either raise its cost up to or reduce the ward down to .
vizionarius: A straightforward design, not bad. You could have made its +1/+1 ability trigger whenever a creature card was put in a graveyard instead or whenever a creature died instead (and in these cases, raise the card's cost as well) for more flavor.
The winner is melono!

Thanks for the win! I was actually considering bumping the ward down to 2. Anyhow, next card, cycle Vedalken Anatomist as different colors.  |

Honorbound Scargiver Creature - Cat Soldier ,  : Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. It gains your choice of defender or indestructible until end of turn. Leonin training marks can lead to glory, or guard duty.1/3

Judging! Spoiler} serraphim - Dry-Bone Dissectionist: This is a rather weird card, that would’ve been useful in the Egypt set which I forgot the name of at the moment. Amonkhet! That one! Anyways, it’s quite it’s own thing with some small things that are equal to the Vedalken Anatomist: -1/-1 counters, tapping for mana, targeting creatures, 3 mana, 2/1 against 1/2. vizionarius - Honorbound Scargiver: Very alike to Vedalken anatomist, but in a very cute white way. I’d see it come in somewhat of a planar chaos set. It’s much more combat focussed, and allows its own kind of shenanigans. It has its own flexibility: defensively you give threats defender, offensively (and possibly defensively) you give your own threats Vigilance, so they can block and/or use their tap ability. Idea - Sylvan Prowler: this essentially says, put a +1/+1 or a -1/-1 counter on target creature. It dies if toughness is 1 though. Very big no no here though: mixing -1/-1 and +1/+1 counters in a single card. As it isn’t done in a single set even. You just want to be able to use a normal dice. Mixing + and - makes that not easy to do. {Spoiler} Winner? vizionarius ! Congrats! The Scargiver is a nice alteration of the Anatomist with its own shenanigans.

Thanks for the win melono! Now I wish that my card actually did what you think it does! Vigilance would have been such a better ability to give than what I did end up giving (which is indestructible). ------- Next challenge: Create a horizontal cycle (varying colors) of Jalira, Master Polymorphist.  |
