Idea wins. Full Judging maybe some day. alman if you just want to post random designs, the Miscellaneous Card Design Thread is the place to go; could allways use some vriety. If you are interested in more constructive feedback - especially if you have concrete questions, take a look at the Card Clinic.

Flo00 thank you for the win! I look forward to the review if it comes. Now, the next challenge here is to make a card (or cards) around the theme of reversing time. I leave interpreting that theme, both flavorfully and mechanically, up to you, but bonus points if you make a funny card.

I instantly knew a fitting design - didn't know how to turn it into an Un-design, though. How about this (wording inspired by Side Quest):

Alright, this has gone for more than long enough, and I'm finally available to come make a judgement, so I'm skipping the usual period of last minute entries and jumping straight into review. alman {Spoiler}A little OP doesn't begin to cut it. Any turn after your 7th land drop with this (maybe even earlier) that this thing is in play and manages to stay there means you now get infinite turns. I do see the attempt to try to stop the total abuse of this by preventing damage, but that just means one player gets to prepare ad infinitum for the turn that does bring the damage. Formatting is also a bit weird with all that space in the middle.
As for the idea, I guess I can kinda see how this is reversing time, and indeed extra turns are very much associated with time manipulation in MTG. Not the most imaginative effect, but fitting.
Another major issue though, you made a black border card for a silver border-only contest. I don't just mean it in the actual render of the card though, this card has nothing silvery-bordery to it. No jokes, or stuff that wouldn't go in normal magic (well, other than the complete imbalance) or anything like that. The card isn't really fun either, considering one player spends their turns spamming and playing solitaire and the other stares at them waiting for their inevitable doom, until this card is dealt with or the game ends. Daij_Djan {Spoiler}Very fitting, balanced considering other examples of similar effects in regular magic though definitely stronger considering it can be a 0 mana card. Yeah, on second thought, maybe bumping it by one mana would be better. I guess playtesting would be needed.
I do wonder what the flavor of seeing a child making this cheaper is. It's definitely a silver-border thing to do though, so it ticks that box. moweda {Spoiler} Exquisite Angel, but instant rather than a 5/5 flier. Considering the next best comparison is Oketra's Last Mercy (heals you less, doesn't trigger upon your would-be death, 3 mana and even stuns your lands afterwards), it's very hard to comment on how balanced this card is or not. That being said, it is a good way to represent time reversal, as it both restores something and has a direct tie to something from the past. On the other hand, this entry has nothing silver-border about it. As shown this is an effect that can and does exist in normal magic. Winner {Spoiler}Victory goes to Daij_Djan for a card that not only does a great job with the theme, but includes a silver-border element to it and is pretty balanced. |

I took the cost from Frogify and Kasmina's Transmutation (since the most recent Witness Protection is an uncommon)..?
So, for your next challenge, how about this: Design a card based on a dad joke! (It doesn't have to be from that website, that's just an example  ) |
