Blazechain Wielder   Creature - Devil  If a player would gain life, they gain that much life minus 1 instead. Whenever Blazechain Wielder attacks, it deals 1 damage to each player. 3/2 Stricken Soul   Instant If target creature or planeswalker would deal damage to a player this turn, it deals 1 of that damage to itself instead and you gain 1 life. Draw a card. The way I intend those two to work is that when the devil attacks and someone plays Stricken Soul, 1 damage to each player is prevented, the devil deals all the damage to itself and dies. The lifegain of Stricken Soul is prevented by the devil. Not sure if the devil shouldn't be  . |

I know this has been dead for a while... maybe we can revive it? Since the last winner spruder hasn't been online for a while, if there are a few entries for this challenge, I'll rwithdraw my entry and judge. Since the last challenge was combos, for the next challenge I'd like to see some combo breakers. Please design two or more cards that restrict each other or in some way dampen each others effects. |

Wow, thanks X) In that case, I'll do a hybrid. Choose one- • Submit an entry for the last challenge. • Make-a-Tribe. This is a callback to the old forums*. To be more precise: ○ Your entry consists six cards: three commons, two uncommons, and a rare or mythic rare**. ○ All cards must either possess or care about a single creature type. *Oh yea, the good old days.
** Yes, I loosened this one a bit. |

Thank you for the win; I think I'm most happy with the commons although they're right at the cusp of uncommon complexity. So for the next challenge, I think this thread doesn't get enough renders (it's obvious why, finding art for a mechanically or thematically unified bunch of cards is hard), so I'll aim to fix that with this next one.
Artist's Showcase : Design multiple cards around art works from a single artist. If you include renders, all the card art should be works from your chosen artistist's portfolio; if you don't include renders, include the art that inspired each card. The cards do not need to have any coherrent themes or mechanics; the artwork is the connecting thread. Hopefully putting the artwork as the starting point and going from there will get us some wonderful bunches of cards with renders.
Edit:
Is there any minimum/maximum ammout of cards you expect? The middle amount of 3-5 I guess. Enough for a secret lair's worth of cards; but, if your artist's particularly prolific I wouldn't complain about more saavy? |

Just recently I've done a bunch of cards with art by Peter Mohrbacher. I just have to sift though them to get the best ones up here. There might even be a small Eldrazi theme there... Is there any minimum/maximum ammout of cards you expect? Edit: Ok, here we go. First off, this one is a bit older than the rest and its one of my all time favourite designs:  Next, a commander that might be a little crazy:  Now what happens when Gnorw comes visit you?  Now that we have established that time might not allways flow in the expected direction:  I did even use the origial name of the character for this one.

Since my previous call didn't provoke any answer, how about judgement hydraheadhunter ? Yeah that's fair, it's unfortunate, cause I woulda liked to see more. Of the two entries, pernicious 's felt like the more cohesive artist showcase, so I'll be giving the win to them. |

Thank you for the win, hydraheadhunter.
For the next challenge, design multiple monocolored cards that have one or more activated abilities that include in their cost mana of a color that is enemy of the card's color. (For example, Shadow Lance, Simic Ragworm, Torch Drake) |

Perfect again, I'd only raise Angelic Shinobi's Ninjutsu cost by 1.

Daij_Djan! The Southquag Witch was the tiebreaker. You both made great entries.

Nice, big thanks for the win  I wasn't really sure about what to do for this one - so it's time for an old classic! Choose one of the following five locations, then design two to five cards fitting the theme showcased in the artwork. And since I tried to (roughly) make he artworks fit to the five colors of Magic, one additional restriction: Not more than two of your designs may use the aligned color. |

Long ago, there was a great migration: the dragons which had been dispersed across the plane since recorded history, for reasons not understood by human scholars gathered in a flock and with a thundering of wings made roost on the peaks at the heart of the Aticam mountains. There the kobolds who worshipped them built a great city. Foolish people go to Aticam looking for wealth promised by the hundred dragons' hoard, but they fail to understand that wealth flows toward the hoard in Aticam and it'd only be a slight exaggeration to claim that no gold has ever left the city. The kobolds built the city, but don't misunderstand, the city was built for and is ruled by the dragons, fiercest among them i is Shissi who, in difference to no king, calls herself its duke. The mountains themselves are rich with red mana, but the city the kobolds built and the society they and their dragon gods shaped provide Aticam mountains' mana with marbled streaks of white and black. Aticam, City of Dragons
Legendary Land
Aticam, City of Dragons enters the
battlefield tapped.
Tap: Add a red, a white, or black.
X and one generic, a red, a white, a black, and tap: fetch a dragon card with mana value X or less. It gains haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.
FT: A great thunder of dragons roosted upon the peaks of Aticam and the ignoble kobolds who worshipped them built for them a great city.
| Shissi, Duke of Aticam
A generic, two red, a white, and a black
Legendary creature - Dragon Noble
Whenever a dragon enters the battlefield under your control during your turn, after this phase there is an additional combat phase followed by an additional main phase. Untap all creatures that attacked this turn. This ability triggers only once each turn.
5/4
| Thunder in the Skies
A generic, a red, and a white
Enchantment
Whenever a creature you control with flying blocks, it deals two damage to each creature it's blocking.
Whenever a creature you control with flying is blocked, it deals two damage to each creature blocking it.
FT: The collective noun for a flock of dragon is a thunder owing to the stormsome sound of their wings churning the air.
| Aticam Auditor
Two generic and two white
Creature - Kobold Advisor
Partners with Aticam Kleptomaniac (when this creature enters the battlefield, target player may fetch Aticam Kleptomaniac to their hand.)
Whenever a dragon enters the battlefield under your control, or a dragon you controls attacks or dies, create two treasure.
FT: Dragons hoards often grow so massive that managing it becomes a hassle. The kobolds who itemize these extensive inventories are just happy to count their gods’ gold and gems.
0/1
| Aticam Kleptomaniac
Three generic, two black, and a red
Creature - Kobold Rogue
Partners with Aticam Auditor (When this creature enters the battlefield, target player may fetch Aticam Auditor to their hand.)
Whenever you sacrifice a treasure, Aticam Kleptomaniac deals 1 damage to target permanent.
FT: Even among the kobolds, there are fools who would steal from dragons.
0/3

I know you said limit yourself to two in the aligned color, and I've got four red cards here, but none of them are mono red so that's worth something I think.

Arrive at Distant Shores Sorcery Reveal card from the top of your library until you reveal a land card. Put the revealed land card onto the battlefield tapped, up to one other card revelaed this way into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. Inexplicable Disappearences Enchantment At the beginning of each player’s upkeep, that player puts a creature they control on to pof its owner’s library and investigates. Then if each player controls a Clue, sacrifice Inexplicable Disappearences. (To investigate, create a colorless Clue artifact token with “2, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.”)Midnight Haunt Creature - Bird Horror If it’s neither day nor night, it becomes night as Midnight Haunt enters the battlefield. Midnight Haunt has hexproof as long as it is night. Whenever Midnight Haunt deals damage to a creature, return that creature to its owner’s hand, then that player loses 1 life for each card in their hand. 1/4 {render}  {bonus 1}Kill the Abomination Instant Each opponent sacrifices a creature that dealt damage this turn. Horrifying Claw Mark Enchantment - Aura Enchant creature At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on enchanted creature. Then if enchanted creature has toughness 0 or less, return a creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. {bonus 2}Neverending Nightmare
Ongoing Scheme
As you set this Scheme in motion, choose a creature card name.
Whenever a creature you control with the chosen name dies, return it to the battlefield under your control at the beginning of the next end step.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control no creature with the chosen name, abandon this scheme. Flee in Terror Instant For each opponent, return target creature they control to its owner’s hand if they control less creatures than you. I know, only 5 cards allowed, so ignore the bonuses. I just couldn't help displaying the full story. |

1/1
Sorcery As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice any number of Funguses. This spell costs less to cast for each Fungus sacrificed this way. Draw three cards. The psychotropic effects of certain mushrooms can greatly enhance the potency of your visions.

Big thanks for the reminder!
This challenge is now closed - please no further changes of entries!
EDIT: Yeah, sadly it seems like I don't really have enough time to sit done and do a propper judging - especially since this challenge always takes longer than most others, so I'll just announce the winner to keep things moving. There were several very cool entries around this time, but in the end I just had to give it to Flo00 and his storyline entry. Well done
EDIT 2: Changed the name to a proper ping  |
