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 sixty-seventh challenge!
The winner of the "Professionals have standards" poll was BinaryBolas with... And the challenge issued by our winner was... Design 2~3 cards that can belong to a same design cycle in a single limited format. The cycles are common throughout Magic history from Moxen to double-faced Praetors. Note: - You don't need to complete the cycle, but the design choice of the cycle must be apparent. Just like currently incomplete Inscriptions, you can choose to submit the easy-to-design cards of your cycle.
- You can create new cycles following existing formats, like how WOTC keeps printing Charms and Commands.
- The cards don't need to be balanced, and the designs can be as loose as weird mana costs or color-hate tricks.
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!

Ajani's Spellbomb Artifact  ,  , Sacrifice ~: Create a 2/2 white Cat creature token with vigilance. , Sacrifice ~: Put a loyalty counter on an Ajani planeswalker you control. Ashiok's Spellbomb Artifact , , Sacrifice ~: Target player puts the top two cards of their library into their graveyard, then that player exiles their graveyard. , , Sacrifice ~: Put a loyalty counter on an Ashiok planeswalker you control. Chandra's Spellbomb Artifact  , , Sacrifice ~: ~ deals 3 damage to any target. , , Sacrifice ~: Put a loyalty counter on a Chandra planeswalker you control. Unfortunately, I can't find good art for these. I know these are typically limited to the plane that was formerly known as Mirrodin, but wouldn't it be delightful if they managed to infuse their magic into these artifacts. P. S. I chose to make ones for the planeswalkers that are known to have retained their sparks.

Remember Jace exploring the lands of Ixalan? Here's compleated Jace exploring the ruins of Phyrexia as the plane loses its magic, inspired by the Tainted land cycle and Crumbling Vestige.

I made Gather Your Thoughts a few months ago. I liked what I came up with, so I decided to try and make on for other colours. Lost maybe got a little too wordy, but oh well. |

It's been a while since we last had a Spellshaper cycle - and we only ever had one creating permanents. Back then it was creatures, so let's do Auras this time!
EDIT: Full cards + renders are up! Might include artwork for the tokens later on..?

I think you'd need Consecrate to also make them into an enchantment as well, not just an Aura (or make the card itself be an enchantment as well). |

Is it intentional that Resounding Quiet breaks the doubling schematic? (also something went wrong with its reminder text)
