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 eighty-second challenge!
The winner of the "Lost in time" poll was Flo00 with... And the challenge issued by our winner was... Make a card that uses three or more bullet points • .You can usually get them with Alt + numpad 7. (Or double colon in MSE. ~Daij_Djan)(The hidden joke here is that this is the third time I've won a CotW.)
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!

Relicant's Ingenuity  Instant  Choose one - - Investigate. (Create a colorless Clue artifact token with "
 , Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")
- Reverse engineer. (To reverse engineer, create a token copy of target artifact. It gains haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of your next end step.)
- Choose an instant or sorcery card in your graveyard. Create a scroll of it. (A scroll is an artifact token. It can be sacrificed to cast a copy of the chosen card.)
"Rule 1 of dealing with a relicant: no matter what they seem, they're never unarmed." - Ascil, Censor of Steam
I've always liked mix-and-match cards, and both reverse engineer and scrolls are mechanics I hope we eventually see in a proper set.

Now this is much more up my alley, even if I like my challenges a bit meatier.
 Naila, Worldtree Wanderer  Legendary Creature - Human Ranger (3/2) Reach When Naila, Worldtree Wanderer enters the battlefield, choose one — • If  was spent to cast her, exile target artifact or enchantment. • If was spent to cast her, draw a card. Then, you may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped. • If  was spent to cast her, return target nonlegendary creature card from your graveyard to your hand. • If  was spent to cast her, target creature you control fights target creature an opponent controls.
Text box is unfortunately a wee bit cramped, and a few abilities feel a bit stronger than would probably be healthy for Standard, but we'll just say she's from, like, Modern Horizons 3 or something. EDIT: Typo fixed, B mode changed to nonlegendary creature from land, R mode changed from bite to fight. |

the5lacker : "you pay put". Oops. You're usually better at catching these things. In my defense that text is small. I'll bundle a fix with the next revision, still not 100% happy with the power level on a few abilities. |

Magic Origins  Legendary Sorcery (You may cast a legendary sorcery only if you control a legendary creature or planeswalker.)Choose one - • Create a 4/4 white angel creature token with flying and vigilance. • Create a 3/4 blue Sphinx creature token with "  : Target player chooses a card name, then reveals the top card of their library. If that card has the chosen name, that player puts it into their hand. If it doesn’t, the player puts it into their graveyard. • Create a 7/7 black Demon creature token with flying, trample, and "At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice another creature. If you don't this creature deals 7 damage to you." • Create a 5/5 red Dragon creature token with flying and " : This creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn." • Create a 0/0 green Hydra creature token with "This creature enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it.", "For each 1 damage that would be dealt to this creature, if it has a +1/+1 counter on it, remove a +1/+1 counter from it and prevent that 1 damage.", " : Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to this creature this turn.", and " : Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. Activate only during your upkeep." As cool as this is, it's waaay too many words for a normal card. You could use some card name trickery like Garth to try and reduce it, or just go the "it's intended for digital" route.
Also, why does the green hydra only have red activated abilities? Neither are particularly red - preventing damage is primarily ::WG:: (see this result), while the +1/+1 counter would work just as well in green. |

It's a "clever" reference to Rock Hydra. scryfall.com/card/me4/133/rock-hydraAll of the tokens are "classic" creatures, and by classic I mean old, because nobody's going to get Rock Hydra or Petra Sphinx. The card would honestly almost work if it weren't for the fact that making the hydra might be the single worst use of mana imaginable. |

Omnath, Locus of Zendikar Legendary Creature - Elemental  Whenever Omnath, Locus of Zendikar or a land enters the battlefield under your control, choose one that hasn't been chosen yet this turn - - You gain 5 life
- Target creature gets -4/-4 until end of turn.
- Omnath deals 3 damage to each opponent.
- Scry 2, draw a card.
- Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
6/6 This looks a little bland now that I look at it, but it's kind of what I'm expecting from the final Omnath. Just a ridiculous modal landfall ability, one effect for each color. Edit: had a gimmicky idea that the modes could go '5,4,3,2,1'. Plus the power and toughness are at 6. |

It's time I enter my own challenge:  Deepwood Guardian Creature - Elemental Guardian Council’s dilemma — As Deepwood Guardian enters the battlefield, starting with you, each player votes for Power, Pain or Rest. • Power — Deepwood Guardian enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter. • Pain — Each opponent loses 1 life. • Rest — Untap a permanent you control. 3/3 Is there an easy way to format the text around the p/t box? |

Also the Mainframe template has an option to add some space to the top or bottom of the card (Chop top / bottom).
Hi everyone,
as I've been ill this past weekend (feels like my body currently tries to pick up every illness it comes across - like playing some weird bingo game), I've just sent the PMs asking for the new challenges - so everything will be delayed by one day.
Sorry!

Not sure whether I should say thanks or be afraid.. Probably both? Yeah, both sounds about right  (But no, seriously, I'm already much better. If I had been able to sent out the normal PMs on Sunday, I might even have been on schedule..)
This thread is now closed, the poll can be found here. And here's the next challenge! |
