Any more entries? Conspiracies would be an option I haven't mentioned yet... If you could give me some time to work out my idea I'll add something.

My idea of the modular dungeon: Voyage *cardinal direction* When you voyage, place the top card from your voyage deck faceup in the direction you're voyaging. Follow the arrow to the direction, and the effect that is on the next direction triggers, with X being the number that is on the arrow you followed. Have some common creatures that trigger it on etb as the first example: Wolfling Winterseeker Creature - Wolf Scout Vigilance When ~ enters the battlefield, voyage North. 3/3 Selkie Springseeker Creature - Horse Scout Trample When ~ enters the battlefield, voyage East. 3/4 Satyr Summerseeker Creature - Satyr Scout Haste When ~ enters the battlefield, voyage South. 4/1 Otterling Autumnseeker Creature - Otter Scout Ward When ~ enters the battlefield, voyage West.1/5Jellyfish Flowgoer Creature - Jellyfish Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, lose 2 life and choose a cardinal direction. Voyage to that direction. 2/3 Clown Roller Artifact Creature - Clown When ~ enters the battlefield, voyage to a cardinal direction chosen at random. 3/3 Not something that should be in a not-Unset, but might not need an Acorn? Still is gonna take over a lot of the table. PS: The voyage deck should only have exactly 7 unique cards. Once empty, you shuffle them back together and start over. You start at a start tile which only has X=1 in all directions. And you can't enter an already existing voyage card.

melono wins for a really neat idea. The only thing I don't like is the very last rule. If your effects allow it, why shouldn't you be able to walk in circles?

Hmm, put like that, the last rule could be scrapped. It might even encourage specific builds that way... Tyftw! Next up, create a card, and with it, a new keyword; A card that represents the keyword. You may submit more cards for the sake of exploring your keyword, but make sure you have one flagship card. That one I will judge as the entry.

Bold Plagiarist Creature - Vampire Rogue Flying Plagiarism (As you cast this spell, you may chose a permanent that shares a type with it. This permanent enters the battlefield with the first or last paragraphs in this and that permanent's textboxes swapped until this permanent leaves the field.)Whenever a creature with the words "true", "truth", "truly", or "false" in its flavor text attacks, scry 2. 2/2 "I know a good idea when I see one."

Thank you for the win melonoLet’s go with something simple for the next one. Make an un-card that cares about flavor text!

Trapped in the Story Enchantment - Aura Enchant nonland permanent Enchanted permanent has “At the beginning of your upkeep, you may search your library for a card that shares a card type with this permanent and has a flavor text not yet exiled with Trapped in the Story. If you do, say the flavor text of all cards exiled with Trapped in the Story. Otherwise, sacrifice this permanent.”

Mad Libs Instant Change the text of target spell by replacing all instances of one word with another word. (If this would cause the spell to be unable to function, it is countered.)"Oh, rooster." - Mames Jay

Words To Live By Instant Draw a card. You gain life equal to the number of words in that card's flavor text.
"... and furthermore, again..."

Flo00{Spoiler}While I get you were supposed to exile the card, I think a chunk seems to be missing, partially because it doesn't even instruct you to exile a card, it just references a card exiled with it despite in the current text not doing so. Even if you did exile, a card that just exiles cards from your library doing nothing with them seems relatively pointless. Still, with no clues as to what the intent might have actually been, there's not much I can do. viriss{Spoiler}An interesting mechanic, though I feel that making a whole new mechanic for this is a bit unnecessary. "Creatures with flavor text you control have exalted" would work just as well. As this mechanic is pretty much functionally exalted I also think this card should be white. Aside from that, given all it does is give a limited amount of your creatures exalted, the pricing seems fair. ZephyrPhantom{Spoiler}I think even in silver border a card like this would not fly. While silver border gets more leeway in the kind of language it uses, it still needs to try to avoid arguments at a table so things can only be so ambiguous, and I think "unable to function" is far too ambiguous here, which is not to say how overpowered something like this can be. If there's one thing the internet has taught me, never underestimate the kind of loopholes people will find. elchetibo{Spoiler}I would compare this to Ritual of Rejuvenation or Union of the Third Path, but gaining like 6-7 life with the latter is a challenge, whereas if you draw Ritual of Rejuvenation with your card you gain 4 times as much life as Ritual would give you. At a glance your card doesn't seem like an issue, until you realize how full of words a typical card with flavor text can be, especially since you made this card an instant, which has been a linchpin difference in getting a card like Opt. Winner

Altitude Elemental Creature - Elemental Height Elemental gets +1/-1 for each mile (about 1.6 kilometer) it is above sea level. Height Elemental has vigilance if you are taller than your opponent and menace otherwise. 0/7 I first designed this in kilometer, then I wanted to make it work in an airplane and realized that the numbers for miles are nicer to deal with in this case. Playing this in a submarine will increase its toughness and make its power negative. EDIT: Thanks for the suggestion viriss!

Surface-level details Enchantment - Aura Enchant surface. This permanent is of the enchanted surface's color. Spells with the color of the enchanted surface cost less to cast and can't be countered. "This playmat's green!", affirmed Sven. "No! It's obviously blue!", argued Sasha.

Silver Platter - X ( As this enters the battlefield, you may put an X on top of the card.) New card. Old one doesn't count as entry anymore. Shapes-shifter Artifact Creature - Shapeshifter Construct Flash, silver platter - Inorganic object ( As this enters the battlefield, you may put an inorganic object on top of the card.) When ~ enters the battlefield, choose a shape that the object has: Square - ~ is a 1/6 with defender. Circle - ~ is a 2/2 with flying. Triangle - ~ is a 3/3. 0/0 {Spoiler} Old: Old. Of course, there will be more cards with Silver Platter, with different object types like keys, phones, magic cards from outside the game, garbage, and different variables of those objects, like color or taste. But for this challenge, it's just this card. It's this, or there are always the cards I made quite a whiles back for the keyword challenge...: Costume Party

Well-Traveled Gamer Creature — Human Gamer When ~ enters the battlefield, if you’re playing at a kitchen table, create a Food token. If you’re at a local game store, create a Treasure token. (If you’re playing at a kitchen table at a local game store, you get both.) 3/3

Flo00 I thought this was super strong at first then I checked my own cities altitude, 830 feet. =( It only says "above" sea level so it won't die underwater thankfully. =) Idea "looking at a phone" I feel attacked! it's too spot on. elchetibo The judges will be busy with this one! All spells of the color cost less, that's fun for everyone. melono Good thing it doesn't look for 20-sided dice! Daij_Djan Damn Santa! You brought the heat! gluestick248 Versatile! hehe "human gamer". I'm a normal human gamer. Winner Idea , runners up Flo00 and melono

Guesswork- An interesting card with one huge flaw: Having a Daxo's Torment on the field and nothing else to do with my mana wouldn't be able to justify playing this. This card is a pure negative for you, no upside unless you're running out of cards or something. At best you draw a card as normal. But more than likely you may not guess correctly and you'll end up having to pay for your normal draw. Also your opponent gets to know every card you draw. Unfortunately there were no other entries, but even so a win is a win, so viriss is the winner!
