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 four-hundred and thirty-fifth challenge!
The winner of the "Twinkle, Twinkle" poll was twintania with... And the challenge issued by our winner was... Imagine a 8 mana sorcery. And its copy except the mana value is 9 and is a free spell. Opinions will be divided over which one is better. Then look at them what I told on.  You can untap your lands if you have indestructible lands though it is indeed doubtful the bonus is worth for 1 mana. Somehow, it's not a strictly worse card. Post cards with very niche advantage like this.Note that this is a contest of how elegant you add a nitpicky bonus to your card. Banal merit like 1/1 vanilla dragon is not welcome.
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!

 Dawning Breakthrough   Instant  Search your library for an instant or sorcery card, reveal it, then shuffle and put that card on top. Scientific eras advance from miraculous revelations.I thought about a variety of overcomplicated ways to go about this and rejected them all because I was trying too hard to make designs that were blatantly better in some way. Instead, I'd like to present you with what looks like a sidegrade to Solve the Equation, trading putting the card into your hand at sorcery speed for putting the card on top on your library at instant speed. Sounds pretty average unless you can think of a series of instants and sorceries that WANT to be on top of your library... |

 An obvious parody to Goblin Guide. Cons: a) Relatively forboding mana cost (for RDWs, especially in eternal formats). b) Draws triggers off nonland reveals instead of lands (which can be beneficial). c) It's a card draw game action for your opponent, which, again, can be mitigated if you are playing UR tempo/blitz type deck (namely Hull Breacher and such). d) "EACH?" Pros: a) Still acceptable as a RDW card, though will not be massively played relatively. b) Beside RDW, it can be played in Owling Mine Style decks, which can be considered a niche case. |

 {Note About the Art Credits}After searching extensively, I was unable to locate any mention of the specific artist for this artwork. It appears to be official artwork by Wizards of the Coast for D&D 5e, albeit I was unable to locate the book the art was depicted in either (if it was in any). I left what I was able to find, the name of the character and the company that owns the copyright to the image (presumably). |

A modal Slaughterhorn. An alternative, where it allows for storm and instant triggers instead of discard triggers when using the pump.   sdfkjgh You are completely right. That's weird, I thought I had changed that. Fixed. And no more attachments |

 I liked the idea of WAR Sorin giving planeswalkers lifelink and figured I'd extend that to artifacts/enchantments/lands. |

Completely forgot posting an entry of my own..
Trading 1 point of power for "Protection from bees" (basically) - so basically trading the ability to disencourage 1/1's or 2/1's from attacking against some corner case defensive buff and flavor 
This thread is now closed, the poll can be found here. And here's the next challenge! |
