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 ninety-forth challenge! The winner of the "1 + 1 = Synergy" poll was ZephyrPhantom with...![](https://i.imgur.com/vnVTJzN.png) And the challenge issued by our winner was... (BBC)You know, normally I'd make fun of you for a stunt like this, but the timing is legitimately impressive. Signed, your Local Eldritch Talking Head. Be glad I even let you have the advertising space... what are you even going to sell to people, anyway?
Happy New Year, members of MSE. As the presenter of both challenges this year, I'd like to kick things off with a bang. The first CoTW this year will be themed around things you'll be taking on yourself 1 – some might be pleasant, some might be less so. With that in mind, I'd like to see cards that reward a creature surviving a removal effect.1. You might also know this as the Human custom of "resolutions". To increase your chances of winning and to also make creating the poll easier on whomever is doing so, please try to use a render. 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!

Last Man Standing ![](http://res.cloudinary.com/daijdjan/image/upload/v1521554622/1.gif) ![](http://res.cloudinary.com/daijdjan/image/upload/v1521555837/G.gif) Creature — Human Soldier ![](http://res.cloudinary.com/daijdjan/image/upload/v1521555837/common.gif)
| Last Man Standing gets +1/+1 for each creature you controlled that left the battlefield since the beginning of your last upkeep. “Come at me.” | 1/1 |

I'm not quite sure how well this fits the challenge. For it to be "rewarded for surviving a removal effect," it needs another card (such as Djeru’s Resolve) to help it survive the effect and requires at least one other creature to be targeted by the same effect and not survive.

Happy New Year!
Totally love the artist's own flavor text for the artwork btw:
"I regret to inform Your Grace that Your Grace's son fell while hunting a fiend. He died on the spot, along with his squire, his guide, the beaters, his peasant entourage, and his hounds." – Kavin Jell, manager of the Villepin Estate near Vizima.

I hope that counts as an "reward" for surviving a removal effect. I let ZephyrPhantom decide that one. I like the card and I get the reference, but I don't think this qualifies as a reward in terms of mechanics or flavor. Sorry. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) A reward could be negative or part of a trick (e.g. bargain with the devil type stuff) but it has to be flavored as that somehow. This is a bit too much of a general event to fall within that range.

![](https://i.imgur.com/ojqx6Ec.jpg) Based on the character from the English chivalric romance. Don't know if this counts, but it technically can be marked lethal damage/targeted with removal effects, and survives by virtue of being indestructible.
