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 two-hundred and fourteenth challenge! The winner of the "Where to next?" poll was myself with...And the challenge issued by our winner was... A few days ago, Avengers: Infinity War started airing in cinemas all around the world – a big and anticipated blockbuster featuring many, many superheroes. I'd like to go and watch it myself – yet considering I've missed like half of the previous movies leading to it, I don't think I will do so (yet). Still, I'm using it as an inspiration for this week's challenge. Choose any superhero you want (it does not have to be Marvel or DC at all) and design a card for them. There is one restriction, though: You're not allowed to design a creature or planeswalker card. I do not want you to design a card featuring the hero themself, but rather an ability, accessories or any kind of gimmik associated with that character. Think of the Spider-Sense or the Batsignal. If you want some inspiration, here is one of many lists out there (it's the most detailed I could come up with, though) – but please note: It lists all villians as well, however there are some filters at the bottom of the page. Have fun! To increase your chances of winning and to also make creating the poll easier on whomever is doing so, please try to use a render. 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!

I don't know a whole lot about comic book superheroes, but I do know that Wonder Woman has a silly, invisible plane. Reading the Wikipedia page about it, apparently it can change shape, so I gave it a couple of Morphling's abilities to reflect that. Any words on the balancing would be appreciated. I haven't made many vehicles before. Invisible Jet Artifact - Vehicle Flying, hexproof : Invisible Jet gets +1/-1 until end of turn. : Invisible Jet gets -1/+1 until end of turn. Crew 2 "I always forget where I park the darned thing!" -Wonder Woman

norench: Why not use the new equip template and give it "Equip Human "? Aarhg: For some reason I believe vehicles are either brokenly good or useless. Yours is more in the first category. I think it could cost a mana more or two, but you better get another opinion on that.

Follows the events of "House of M" in which the Scarlet Witch depowers 99% of mutants (since it's unlikely to have a hundred planeswalkers on the battlefield, I just made it affect everyone). Most regain abilities in around two years (hence the vanishing). This is really narrow in application, but I wanted to be as faithful to the source material as possible.

{Old Entry}A post by touhoufanatic got me thinking on a history lesson I took long ago. There was this guy named José Gabriel Condorcanqui, who led a revolution against the Spanish conquistadores and lost. Condemned to be dismembered by being pulled apart by horses, the execution failed, thus he was quartered. His body parts were send to different parts of the colony, to serve as a reminder of the consequences of rebellion. Sorry had to change my entry, because of this guy. Not sure if anyone will get the reference: The Bat Tribe Sorcery Destroy all Vampires, then create an 5/5 red and white Legendary Vampire creature token with double strike. Suspend 4 - Whenever a time counter is removed from ~ while it's exiled, put a 1/1 red and white Vampire. If you require and explanation, this is related to the Miagani (the Bat tribe) and the origin of Batman. Basically, the Miagani were a tribe of people who following the events of Batman traveling to the past, where inspired by him and formed the bat tribe. The tribe slowly became more and more powerful, but eventually it disappeared by the 20th century, leaving Wayne's great-grandmother as the last living member of the tribe. Bruce Wayne is a descendant of the tribe. Basically the entire "Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne" story. Got it: Was hard finding the artist who made the picture. I mean this is directly from the comics. The "Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne" series, which has three artists. Which leads me to wonder if it is even legal to use the image. God, this is complicated. PS: I really want to make another one. PSS: I can't wait, sorry to every one. {Not Entries}Rise of the Dark Night Enchantment - Aura Enchant Creature When ~ enter the battlefield exile a creature other than enchanted creature. Enchanted creature has all abilities of the exiled creature. (It loses it previous abilities)
"You see… a Batman who laughs… is a Batman who always wins." -The Batman Who Laughs
I think this one does not need further explanation. The artist, Jason Fabok, worked on Justice League.
Took a while but I got it. Too lazy to rewrite the entire card. If I remember correctly this is from Issue #2 of Dark Nights: Metal. They work in teams so having one specific artist is hard. Ever heard of Dark Nights Metal? Starting to see the Theme?
Darkness Contraption
Legendary Artifact
When ~ enters the battlefield create a 4/4 Dark Knight token, a 0/1 Anti-Monitor Brain token and a 0/1 Monitor token with indestructible for target opponent. Sacrifice a Dark Knight, Anti-Monitor Brain and a Monitor token: target opponent loses the game.
"There will be no more matter or anti-matter, no more multiverse, only Darkne--" -The Batman Who Laughs
All renders require proper artist credit in the appropriate space. If you're unsure about a specific comic's artist, it would have been fine to use the publisher instead. See also our Art Sourcing Primer. ~Daij_Djan

As @daij_Djan would say: "When in doubt, do an common!" Night in the Crime Alley Sorcery Kicker Target player sacrifices two creatures. If ~ was kicked, put two +1/+1 counters on target creature you control. Gonna add a render ASAP.

I think it could cost a mana more or two, but you better get another opinion on that. The more things are abstracted and keyworded, the messier and less elegant it becomes. The long form i think is nicer looking than the new format imho.

@ dietcolafangirla : As it's still possible to read your render's artist credit, I'm not taking it down. Still, it's quite hard to read, so I have a piece of advice: That template comes with the styling option to change the artist credit's font color to white Also welcome! @ Flo00 : Sadly it doesn't indeed. I've basically hardcoded the "normal" card tag, but so far it doesn't work with "card=" as it worked in the past. Basically it can be done in either two steps (using the normal card tag, then edit your post altering the name) or by using normal link codes.
EDIT: For my own entry, I chose the moment Megamind changed from being a villain to a hero. Considering how important his entrances are to Megamind here as well as in general (let alone for other heroes as well), I think it fits the challenge nicely

Simurgh's Feather Artifact When Simurgh’s Feather enters the battlefield, scry 5. , : Choose a card name, then reveal the top card of your library. If that card has the chosen name, put it in your hand. Otherwise put it on the bottom of your library.
This is based on Simurgh, a being of immense power that can see the future from the web serial Worm. The art is an edit, mixing Angel's Feather by Alan Pollack and Mox's Altar Room by mrhook. On an unrelated note, this is my first post on the new forums. Yay, I guess.

I really like this card even though there's probably some highly oppressive combo that completely looks your opponents out of the game with it.

I mean, as soon as the opponent gains 3 clues he can just sacrifice the enchantment. You need something to keep him from that. Most of what comes to mind is Stony Silence. Then again this also lock you out. Makes me wonder how this works with Maralen, when they both enter at the same time. Maybe using Pithing Needle on your opponent for the enchantment. Then something for the clues. Problem being you have to either prevent him from getting clues or prevent him from activating the clue's ability. Maybe, stick it on a clue generator engine and cast it as a 3 mana draw 3? I am trying here. Any ideas?

Pithing Needle should do the trick, or anything to stop the enchantment's second ability from activating, since the first ability also applies to the clues it creates (essentially turning them into " , Sacrifice this artifact: Investigate." Hilarious) With the activated ability locked, it also turns cards like Collective Defiance into Wit's End, so a deck with those, some cheap counters ( Arcane Denial?) / removal and card draw in the form of Impulse / Fact or Fiction could be nasty.. I'm pretty confident Maralen overrides this, similar to Erebos, God of the Dead overriding Tainted Remedy, but not 100% sure oh lol its right there in the rulings

I'll be honest, this is a real stretch. But I know very little about serious superhero media (insofar as any superhero media is completely serious), and dietcolafangirla beat me to the Watchmen punch, so I turn to the greatest hero of 1990... Particle Man, Particle Man, Doing the things a particle can What's he like? It's not important Particle Man Is he a dot, or is he a speck? If he's underwater, does he get wet? Or does the water get him instead? Nobody knows Particle Man

Batman Gambit Instant - Look at the top three cards of your library and divide them into two piles. An opponent exiles one pile. Put the other into your hand. Based on the concept of the Batman Gambit, you are attempting to predict how your opponent will act- how do you pile up the cards such that you get what you want?
