Welcome to the Card of the Week Contest! To participate in this Contest you'll have to design a card along the contest guidelines and throw it into the arena with other competitors' entries! At the end of each week, a winner will be determined by forum poll. The winner's card will be rendered and featured on the Welcome page, and the winner decides the challenge for the next week's Contest! Here we go, competitors: our three-hundred and fifty-second challenge!
The winner of the "Wait a Second!" poll was Aarhg with... And the challenge issued by our winner was... Colons are great! I'd like to you design a card that features at least two colons (specifically the ":" symbol) in the rules text, reminder text not included. Colons are typically used for activated abilities, but if you find another way to use them, go nuts.
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!

engineer gaming I may not know much about TF2, but shouldn't this guy have "  : ~ deals 1 damage to target artifact.", and all the artifacts it creates have "Level up--Dell Conagher deals 1 damage to it."? Also, shouldn't the Sentry be able to hit any target? |

dealing damage to artifacts is weird when they don't have p/t, even given the context level up is something i tried my best to add, believe me. there just isn't enough space on the card. in the end i decided that the mechanical identity of "build many things" was better than "build one thing and upgrade it" finally, i decided to have the sentry not hit creatures since repeatable removal is annoying, and if it gets destroyed you can just make another one (so, repeatable repeatable removal. which is twice as bad) thanks for the interest though, i'm glad the character is still recognizable even to someone who doesn't play the source material  |

 It really ought to be silver bordered, but there was an issue with the template. |

 This weeks card proved harder for me to get the text fitting right more than it was to design, but an interesting challenge none the less |

Complex Command {The text}As an additional cost to cast this spell, discard four cards.
Choose two —
• Destroy all artifacts.
• Destroy all enchantments.
• Destroy all creatures with converted mana cost 3 or less.
• Destroy all creatures with converted mana cost 4 or greater.
Choose two —
• Counter target spell.
• Return target permanent to its owner’s hand.
• Tap all creatures your opponents control.
• Draw a card.
Choose two —
• Complex Command deals 4 damage to target player or planeswalker.
• Complex Command deals 2 damage to each creature.
• Destroy target nonbasic land.
• Each player discards all the cards in their hand, then draws that many cards.
Choose two —
• Target player gains 7 life.
• Put target noncreature permanent on top of its owner’s library.
• Target player shuffles their graveyard into their library.
• Search your library for a creature card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
Choose two —
• Target player loses X life.
• Return target creature card with converted mana cost X or less from your graveyard to the battlefield.
• Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn.
• Up to X target creatures gain fear until end of turn. (They can’t be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures.) And people say that my designs are wordy. Hell, I say that my designs are wordy, but this is something else! Why can't you guys save this madness for dates divisible by 7? This is truly worthy of The Trophy, or at least it would be, if it was posted on an appropriate date.
I hate to be the bearer of further bad news, but this entry also doesn't fulfill the Challenge.
Interesting idea, sticking ALL the Lorwyn Commands on one card, for shiggles, but you prolly could've simplified by saying "Choose ten--". Also, who the fuck has no less than ::22:: to spare on a 1-shot effect?!

Not only do you have to pay      , but you have to discard four cards. Honestly, I posted it because I misread the challenge (I though it said "•" instead of ":"). Hell, I almost put the Very Cryptic Commands into it. |

This may be cheating. Not cheating, just path of least resistance. Low-hanging fruit, and all that. |

First card made for any MSE challenge ever, but sadly i tried my will to find a suitable image from Artstation for this one, so i didn't want to waste time and submit here.  EDIT: Forgot to change the toughness value. |

EDIT: Forgot to change the toughness value. Plazma Core or Power Core? And it should be "destroy each creature". Plus, the sacrificing of three Cores should prolly be part of the cost to activate. |

Reference: Post a bounty on target creature. (Put a bounty counter on that creature. It has “When this creature dies, each opponent draws a card” as long as it has a bounty counter on it.)
This thread is now closed, the poll can be found here. And here's the next challenge! |
