Tried Sorcery Will of the Council- Starting with you, each player votes guilty or innocent. If innocent gets the most votes, you draw a card and gain 3 life. If guilty gets the most votes or is tied for most votes, tap target creature. It doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step. Fuse // Tested Sorcery Tap target creature. It doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step. Its controller draws two cards, then discards a card. Fuse

My entry (with a token): [rules note: A player who voted for surrendering for tested plays with their hand revealed for the rest of the game. It isn't only that they reveals their hand.

Tried Sorcery Will of the council - Choose target permanent. Starting with you, each player votes for guilty or not guilty. If guilty gets the most votes or is tied for the most votes, exile that permanent with three time counters on it. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. Fuse // Tested Sorcery Will of the council - Starting with you, each player votes for safe or unsafe. If safe gets the most votes or is tied for the most votes, copy the next spell that would be cast this turn. Its controller may choose new targets for the copy. Fuse

Tried Sorcery Will of the council - Starting with you, each player votes for truth or justice. If truth gets more votes, each opponent reveals their hand and you scry 3. If justice gets more votes, you may exile target nonland permanent. Fuse // Tested Sorcery Will of the council - Starting with you, each player votes for success or failure. If success gets more votes, draw two cards. If failure gets more votes, deal 3 damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures and/or players. Fuse

Tried Sorcery
Will of the Council - Starting with you, each player votes for fire or ice. If fire gets the most votes, all players take 3 damage. This damage cannot be prevented. If ice gets the most votes or the vote is tied, all players tap all creatures they control.
//FUSE
Tested Sorcery
Will of the Council - Starting with you, each player votes for friend or foe. If friend gets the most votes, creatures you control gain lifelink until the end of the turn. If foe gets the most votes or the vote is tied, creatures you control gain first strike until the end of the turn.
EDIT - thanks for the wording suggestion.

norench: "unpreventable" isn't a Magic term. At best you might be able to get away with "deals 3 damage that can't be prevented", but pretty much every other instance of 'unpreventable' either shuts down prevention all together for a turn ( WIld Charge for example) or specifies that the damage can't be prevented in a separate sentence ( Combust) The only exception is when the 'unpreventable' damage is part of a conditional ability ( Demonfire).

Sorry about the delay, this came off the front page: { digiman619 } Both modes tapping down stuff doesn't seem very flavorful. Also, they don't really synergize. 2/5 {@miku } I like the first card, but in most cases, it doesn't change much. I do like how it expertly combines with your form of tested. Very well done. 4/5 { Casstastrophe } Tried here is awesome. I love the jailing theme. Tested doesn't really make any sense, and it doesn't synergize with the other half. 3/5 { shrimper } Truth will almost always be selected. Scry 3 and a hand reveal is nowhere near exile target nonland permanent. Tested is interesting and flavorful, but it doesn't synergize 3/5 { norench } These seem like the names should be switched. So lets assume that they are because this would be a 1 otherwise. I really like the friend or foe mechanic, though I feel like it isn't very blue. Fire and ice doesn't really make sense for testing things. 2.5/5 {Winner Winner Chicken Dinner} phoenix13 is the winner! Casstastrophe is the runner up!

The winner seems to have vanished off the face off the earth so I guess Casstastrophe should continue this?

Zuty I intended to be a little more lenient than you're assuming, though I get that it didn't necessarily come across. You can add whatever else you want to the ability box, so long as you include the specified parts.

And here's the results! Short judging this time because I need some sleep... Winner is @miku for a really cool and flavorful punisher effect that encourages some interesting deckbuilding choices! Second place goes to Akai Ryu , with an ambitious entry that while probably too slow to be effective still has a solid concept and a uniquely powerful effect.

Fblthb, Mazewalker legendary Planeswalker - Flblthb : Sry 2. : Look at the top card of target player’s library. It its a permanent card, you may exchange it with a permanent that player controls that shares a type with it. Put Fblthb, Mazewalker on the top of its owner’s library. : Untap X taret permanents. They gain hexproof until your next turn. MIght be a bit confusing because you can coose a different X for than what you chose for .

Doesn't help that the judge appears to have deleted their account. hydraheadhunter Flo00 Since there's demand, let's try this - let me know if anything was formatted incorrectly (and don't hesitate to @ me 2 weeks from now): ____ <Weather Event> ___ ____ Instant <Rarity of your choice> ______ X _____ target _____ "________!"<Weather Event> - Any kind of weather name. Storm, Rain, Hurricane (You may leave any of the ____'s blank - this is mainly to allow people to make a monoG design if they'd like).

hydraheadhunter Flo00 Since there's demand, let's try this - let me know if anything was formatted incorrectly (and don't hesitate to @ me 2 weeks from now): It's been a bit more than two weeks, but what'd you expect from a motherfucker (self-referencial) with no object permanence.

I can judge in the next few hours. This doubles as a call to get any last minute entries in. (Sorry for short notice, I won't have time for the next few days after to get a good judging.)

Going to have to keep this short. Thanks for your patience folks. viriss - A doubled up buff/fireball type design, interesting... it's fairly unusual and I haven't seen anything like it before. I like it. hydraheadhunter - Pest Infestation trading the token creation for Instant speed, interesting idea especially compared to Heliod's Intervention or Klauth's Will where the cost is increased upfront instead of for the Xs. Pretty straightforward design, my only real complaint is the lack of rarity even if it's fairly easy to guess this would be in a rare slot. MonkeyChewToy - Interesting take on a 'ritual' that feels fairly rampy in nature. Design does feel pretty Bant overall flavorwise - not really sure if I'm seeing the but I think just having that additional restriction makes the design inherently more interesting than it if it was yet another Simic ramp design. Nice choice of art too. Winner: MonkeyChewToy

Nice choice of art too. Winner: MonkeyChewToy Wow, thanks for the win! If I had to make one tweak to my card, I would go back and say "in any combination of colors" instead. I mostly included white because I was picturing rain coming down on a parched savanna, kind of like that sweet Plains art from Odyssey that finally got reprinted. But you're right, it does serve to restrict things a bit, especially since now it takes six mana to break even on it, and seven mana to generate eight mana. It's got a high potential though, it just takes some patience.
On to the next challenge!
Khans of Tarkir, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, and the Commander sets have done a lot to fix the imbalance between the 'shards' and 'wedges' of the color pie, but because much of the focus has been on increasing the available commanders, the wedges still lag behind the shards quite a bit when it comes to nonlegendary spells. Among these, the Mardu and Sultai have fewer spells available than the other wedges. Today's card will help Sultai catch up.
[Any noncreature] [Any rarity] ______ _1/_1 ______ ______ dies ______ ______ draw ______
Blanks can be filled in with text as long as you like, and can be empty if you wish. Mana cost can include additional , , or symbols in addition to generic, but no other colors or .
I'll be judging in about a week. Have fun!
