I struggled with this challenge because it is fairly narrow in design space, I feel.
Why wouldn't this just be an Instant? |

Because it's obtuse. :3
But in all seriousness, my card is not a good design. I don't really like this challenge, so I just did something silly.

I'm sorry the challenge wasn't to your taste. I can never seem to make everyone happy with these prompts. Some day though...  |

Isn't this technically just forcing Lightning Bolt into the contest by making it an artifact with flash? This card is no different from an instant, other than having the artifact card type. If it fits with flavor, I recommend letting it stay on the battlefield like the Trial's from Amonkhet block, or if you rahter want it to disappear after use, make it a sorcery with conditional flash, like @oddnaref did with their entry.
That is just my opinion, though. It should technically still fit the contest as is.
BTW, oddnanref : how does food damage work, and is it dealt to food, dealt by food, converted to food, or is it a numeric variable? Either way, the card is silver bordered, right? No, that was an example. Panharmonicon makes that a little to strong. I mean, 1 mana 6 damage divided between two targets? |

I'm sorry the challenge wasn't to your taste. I can never seem to make everyone happy with these prompts. Some day though... Don't worry about it! You made a prompt that a lot of other people enjoyed, so you should focus on them and the fun they are having. If you were curious, my only criticism with the challenge is that it forces you into a design space that is too narrow. Planeswalkers and Sorceries don't really work well with Flash, and Lands can't use it at all, which only leaves contestants to work with Artifacts and Enchantments. I personally love Flash, and have made a dedicated Flash deck in the past. |

inverness Yea, that’s understandable. The reason I excluded creatures from this challenge was because the majority of cards designed for CotW are creatures. I wanted to what else could be done with flash. If I get the chance again in the future, I’ll try making the challenge a little less narrow.

inverness - It's one thing to make a sorcery speed counterspell-- it's another thing to make a sorcery speed counterspell in red/green. SirnightNano - So... this is copies 5-8 of Lightning Bolt? ~~~ Spidery Spurt   Enchantment - Aura  Flash Enchant creature Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has reach. I've wanted Auras to take the place of simpler/smaller combat tricks for a while-- time to practice what I preach.

voltaic-qui Yep, pretty much. I didn't expect to get called up on it so much because if people don't like it they can just... not vote for it?

It's true, I've kinda phoned it in for this one. I do have another idea that will be a little more interesting though, so I might try to rejig my entry.
And now I have done.

I considered it, but I'm not sure it needs it-- your opponent swings with a dinky flier knowing you can't block it with your untapped chumps, until suddenly you can.
Also note that since the buff is permanent, this card is already pretty good

Celesi Tenacity ::1::::W::::W::
Enchantment ::uncommon::
Flash
When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to three target creatures.
Each creature you control can block an additional creature each combat.

Neottolemo: I feel like the additional blockers ability should only apply to creatures you control with a +1/+1 counter on it. That way, the whole card is tied together, like a Lebowski rug, and not just a couple of disparate, disconnected abilities tacked onto a card.

If he does that, won't there be memory issues as to what can block. I mean, there would have to be no +1/+1/ theme in draft for that to work. Other than that, I have to say that in a blank set, yes. You want the +1/+1 counters to be tied to the ability to block. Maybe have creatures with +1/+1 counters be able to block additional creatures instead of all your creatures?
I apologized if I said basically what you wanted to say.
