Thank you for the win, moweda.
The next prompt is...
"After the guards and the faeries have left, you undo your magical camouflage and you silently exit the room from the alley door. The situation you've been in was quite dangerous and you feel rather lucky and a bit proud of yourself to have managed to get out of it unharmed. You also feel kind of parched. You need a drink. You walk in a nearby tavern called "The Mug and the Toad". The place looks kind of rundown and its clientele seems somewhat shady, but you don't care that much, what you want now is to just gulp something alcoholic. You manage to buy a tankard of a brew called "Goldgrain"; it has a wheaty, refreshing taste. As you enjoy your beer, you hear increasingly loud arguing coming from behind you. You turn your head and you see two groups of people, one made of viashino wearing fancy robes and lots of jewelry, the other made of beardless (absurd, isn't it?) dwarves wearing black cloaks. Eventually, the inevitable happens. A fight breaks out between the two groups and it quickly expands to the entirety of the tavern. Everyone now is either duking it out or running away; if they're not already knocked out cold, that is. You got slammed on the floor as the corpulent barman was struck with a bottle on his head and lost consciousness, falling right on top of you (ouch!). As you try to squirm away from under his weight, you see a viashino look at you with a bloodthirsty expression. He begins to move towards you. He is wielding a punch dagger and he seems rather eager to use it on you. Quick! What do you do?"

Excuse me for the wait.
Idea - "You came in this blasted tavern to have a drink, and by the gods you WILL have a drink! You grab your mug and you chug deeply while you're still under the fainted barman. The viashino thinks you're easy prey: just a drunkard who will soon meet their end. But his eyes soon widen as, after you've finished your drink, you effortlessly flip over the bartender and you charge at your would-be assailant. With a mighty punch, you send the viashino flying and screaming across the room, it's rather satisfying to see him crash through the flimsy, rotten wood walls of the tavern. After that, you calmly take your leave while the bar brawl is still going on, stopping only to deliver some punching every now and then to any brawler that dares to attack you." - I like this hybrid colored combat trick; since there are no monored cards that create Food tokens, there's no color bleed even if it bestows lifelink since it requires a Food to do so. I think that the "Sacrifice an artifact" additional cost is a bit too steep, maybe you could have given it "Kicker-Sacrifice a Food" instead. About the wording, since there's an "instead", I think it could have been written "If the sacrificed artifact was a Food, that creature gains lifelink until end of turn."
Flo00 - "With quick reflexes, you use the fainted barman to shield yourself from the viashino's strike. As your assailant is too busy trying to pull out his punch dagger from the now bleeding bartender, you slip from under him and you quickly make your escape towards the exit, stopping only to push unfortunate brawlers towards harm's way in your stead." A modern version of Circle of Despair, it costs 1 less and it completely prevents the damage dealt by the chosen source instead of preventing only the damage that the chosen source would deal to a single target. I could see it printed nowadays. About its wording, I think it should be "...Sacrifice a creature: The next time a source of your choice...", as in Circle of Despair.
The winner is Flo00!
Flo00 Have a nice vacation. |

Thanks for the win pernicious! Didn't know this card existed... I'd like to hand this one over to Idea since I'll soon be on vacation for three weeks. |

In that case I will take over Flo00 . Enjoy your vacation!
You stumble a bit after exiting the tavern, your vision spinning and beginning to blur a tad. You have a hard time trying to make head or tail of what's in front of you at first, as your eyes refuse to adjust to the sunlight. Sure, some small part of it may be due to the alcohol, though given you'd come out of that ride after escaping the maze, only to find your night taken over by this cult named the Bond, followed by a bar brawl, well it's little wonder you might pass out at the mere sight of a pillow. You rest your arm against a wall while trying to regain your composure and focus and travel down some narrow streets beginning to come to an early life as merchants and early birds exchange some pitches and pleasantries. You're headed to the inn you half-remember being told was the place the expedition for the fountain would be staying at. You dodge two children who come running with sticks, only to stumble on a misplaced stone, and the loss of balance does you in. You pointlessly grab some beads that covered a stall, but of course you don't manage to stay upward, you simply pass out with a festival of small marbles covering you like condiments.
You come to in a bed of soft animal skins, not the exotic or well-worked type, but more akin to the type that resembles simply piling the skins over one another. You realize you are inside a sort of hut, with cheap yet colorful carpets hanging on the wall here or there, some instruments of copper, clay or bone here or there, and a sparse few rays of light parsing through the branches the hut was seemingly made up from. Any weapons and other belongings you had you on besides your clothes are in a corner. You begin to hear footsteps, and that's when an old naga holding two clay cups of steaming tea peeks out from the doorless threshold to the next division. "Oh, you've woken up. Passing out right in front of my son's shop, how troublesome you are. He came to me with his tail all tied up - that means panicked, by the way. Do you feel able to walk yet? If so, maybe we can discuss the matter of the compensation..." What do you do? |

I didn't mean to destroy this with my cocky comment. How about a real entry? Dirty Deal  Sorcery  Exile target creature and target creature card in a graveyard. The creature's controller may put both cards into their owners' hands. Note that you can choose any combination of things you own or control or not. |
