The winner of the "Testing, testing, 1-2-3" poll was Daij_Djan with... And the challenge issued by myself was... I'll make this one very simple: As this is CotW #333, design a three mana 3/3! 
Additionally, please try to keep your entry edits all in one post - if you need to change it you can put your old entry in a spoiler marked "Old entry" and leave the newest rendition to be seen. Just use the edit button in the top/right of your original post.And now, time to begin the challenge! Best of luck, competitors!

Tried out one of those "cyber punks" the kids are talking about. I can see why it's popular.  |

 Adamant! Even more threes! I would've made it three tokens as well, but that seemed a bit pushed to me. |

It's an older design, but it still checks out:
Jenara, Asura of Compleation    Legendary Creature--Angel Horror  Flying
Jenara, Asura of Compleation gets +2/+2 for each -1/-1 counter on it.
 : Put a -1/-1 counter on Jenara, Asura of Compleation and up to one other target creature. 3/3
It's another in my "What if Phyrexia successfully invaded the rest of the Multiverse?" series. |

@soulmender: Nice. Love the Llanowar Tribe parallels. But if you're gonna shitpost, you should save it for a date that's divisible by 7. That way, you have a chance to get dat sweet, sweet Trophy from Lady Mapi, who's been selfishly hoarding it for weeks now.
Seriously, Lady Mapi, all you have to do is award it to whomever you think has made the most worthy shitpost on a date divisible by 7. Then, the next week, that person does the same. Eventually, I hope to get a badge awarded for Shitposting on the Sevens (Daij_Djan, can we work this out?). |

If you're gonna invoke The Three Stooges, the random damage DEFINITELY shouldn't be optional! |

viriss Great design! Nice and simple, and very flavorful.
Xenagos I like the concept here. I don't recall if they've done land tokens before, but the wording here seems clean. The creature half is cool, a neat spin on red creatures that do similar.
Orion Rings This is a great design. The only thing I might wonder about is if the adventure half could cost one less. Two tokens for two mana is a pretty standard rate in red/white, with less restrictive mana costs and/or upsides. Now that I think about it, though, if you get a second copy of the vehicle, maybe it's better balance if it has an inflated adventure cost. Hm.
sade612 Simple and clean. I like it! I like how no matter what color combination you pay for it, the keywords are always still on-color.
spazlaz I have a question, is this supposed to be "deal 3 damage to a random creature" or is this "deal a total of 3 damage among up to 3 targets, all chosen at random"?

For some people the worst creature they could go against is skeleton, for other it's oozes...
so Why not both

Yeah, I originally had the Adventure at 2 for the reason you stated, but I figured that 6 hasty power for a total of 5 mana was probably too good. |

I felt this prompt really called out for a common design.  What? You say a 2 mana green spell that draws a card and lets you play an additional land is way too OP? That's crazy, no way that could ever be true.  |

*Snip* All renders require proper artist credit in the appropriate space. ~Daij_Djan
Debated making this one rare, but I think not being able to search for what to exile, not cheating the cost, and only being able to cast it once a turn all bring it down to a nice uncommon. |

mortelys: As interesting as your design is, the prompt calls for a three mana 3/3, not a six mana 3/3.

I've got a weird issue with MSE that I'm not sure how to fix, if someone has any tips that would be great. For some reason, whenever I type symbols like 3GG for this, it no longer auto-formats it to the symbols and just leaves it as letters/numbers. Typing ~ also just puts in the word CARDNAME but doesn't actually do the gray name of the card like it used to. What did I screw up that this is happening lol  |
