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 two-hundred and twenty-first challenge!
The winner of the "Flash, Bam, Alakazam!" poll were spazlaz (left) and Daij_Djan (right) with... And the challenge issued by one of our winners was... Design a card that you must physically interact with (or other cards) when you play it. This card may be silver bordered, but it doesn't have to be (ex. separating cards into piles). Note: Moving your hand between zones with your hand or tapping lands to pay for your spell - while technically obviously require physical interaction - are not considered for this challenge  ~Daij_Djan
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!

This is from my set, and is the Planeswalker for my buddy. I figure this fits the bill. Not sure how to post this full size...

@ jynx316: take the direct link from your attachment and then surround it with [img] tags. So in your case: [img src="http://magicseteditor.boards.net/attachment/download/109"] gives you the image at normal size. If you don't want the small image to show up as well, you need to use a different image file host rather than attach it to your post directly.
Also, here's my own entry:

Use imgur to host the image and the IMG tags with a direct link to the image address. My own card is a proof of concept for a set idea I've been kicking around based on whether or not your deck is right-side-up or upside-down, with the featured card showing a way in which it could be used standalone. (EDIT: fixed text referring to the library instead, and adding proper rules text to a flipped deck, combo opportunities, etc.)  |

jynx316 : Phocus, jynxy, Phocus!
The Whim of a Madman   Instant  Starting with you, each player separates all permanents they control into three piles. Then each player chooses one of his or her piles at random and sacrifices those permanents. (Piles can be empty.)
Suspend 7— (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay and exile it with seven time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, cast it without paying its mana cost.)
Anybody got any ideas for art for this? |

 Three Little Pigs  
Creature - Boar Defender Blow this card over to transform it (using only your breath.) Attempt this ability only once each turn. 3/3
Little pig, little pig, let me come in.
// Big Bad Wolf
 Creature - Wolf Triple strike (This creature deals first-strike, regular, and last-strike damage.)
3/3 Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in.

Here's a different take on a reanimator spell. It's a little heavy on the amount of text, but the effect is actually pretty straightforward.
Mortis Scepter  Artifact  When Mortis Scepter enters the battlefield, exile target creature card from a graveyard and put three crypt counters on Mortis Scepter. : Remove a crypt counter from Mortis Scepter. Then if there are no crypt counters on Mortis Scepter, sacrifice it and put the exiled card onto the battlefield under your control. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery. |

Aarhg: You forgot a "then": "Remove a crypt counter from Mortis Scepter. Then, if there are"
Malsey: This makes me laugh more than it has any right to. However, you might wanna use the more standard centimeters, as inches are pretty big for playing space. |

Aarhg : You forgot a "then": "Remove a crypt counter from Mortis Scepter. Then, if there are" I thought that too at first, but look at a card like Gemstone Mine. Apparently the "then" isn't necessary. |

Apparently the "then" isn't necessary. Actually, Gemstone Mine is a bad example, as its counters are removed as part of its activation cost. Since yours removes its counters as part of the effect, you absolutely need to include the "Then". It's more like vanishing or suspend. If you want to make it more like Gemstone Mine, you should have the counter removal be part of the activation cost. |

Not sure if this counts, but it should be silver bordered.  Using Tineye, the oldest page that had the image was a page called royalty free images. But I cannot access it. The next oldest gave me an 404 error. I used the ShutterStock page. This is the guy who uploaded the image. I doubt it has an author, as it is a picture. Just in case though: {Text} Everyday I'm Shuffling
Sorcery
Riffle shuffle your deck. Then wash your deck. Then pile shuffle your deck. (To wash the cards spread them all over the table face down and move them around.)
Reveal the top card of your library. You may cast that card until end of turn. |

Just one final point (and I'm sorry if I'm harping on this), the perfect example for this case is Profane Procession. |

Instant As you cast this card, throw it like a ninja star. It deals 13 damage to the first target it hit, if any. (Players can try to dodge this card, even players outside this game could be damaged.) “Dodge this!”
