Sorry, not on my pc right now - will hopefully be able to add some flavor later on.. XYZ    Creature -?  When ~ enters the battlefield, you may search your library and/or graveyard for an Equipment card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you search your library this way, shuffle. Modified creatures you control have haste and vigilance. 2/2 |

I'm behind on so many things I have to judge, I'll do a quick one one each of them. Its not an auto-win anymore; I'll still give it to ameisenmeister. If you want detailed feedback, just ask. |

Thanks for the win! Here are your new limits:
LIMIT #44: What an entrance! Your card has an enter the battlefield effect! (Thanks, k1l1!)
LIMIT #132: That reminds me of a song! Your card has a musical flavor or features singing of any sort. (Thanks, eshix!)
LIMIT #179: Tradition and technology. Your card is set on the plane of Kamigawa. (Thanks, Ameisenmeister!)
Cool stuff, I think. Have fun!

New to this but I'll get an entry in when I get MSE booted up tonight--just want to check now, this means using all three limits at once, right? |

Street Musician  Creature - Fox Bard  When Street Musician enters the battlefield or attacks, secretly note an anime, then sing an intro of that series. The first other player to guess the anime before you finish singing puts thier choice of a counter from among flying, first strike, lifelink or +1/+1 on Street Musician and a creature they control. Each counter and each intro can only be chosen once. 2/2 Great for THG. Not sure if this properly hits Limit #179. If you ameisenmeister think not, let me know and I'll come up with something new. |

Nobody said the singing had to be any good. Kami of Shrieking Dirges :  Creature — Spirit Menace When ~ enters the battlefield, if you control two or more other Spirits, target opponent discards two cards. 2/1 |

Judging time! Daij_Djan Cool take on the infamous Isochron Scepter (or on Spellbinder?) The musical flovar works well for me, too. Grapple X Is this intended to work well with Hair-Strung Koto? In any case, this is a cool concept with excellent flavor. Solid common designs aren't easy to find but this one definitely is. Flo00 The Kamigawa limit works for me because it's an urban plane and I can see some futuristic street-DJ or whatnot. Singing anime intros is a cool idea but could be less fun than you might think if the card is run in 1v1 and the opponent doesn't know s**t about anime shows. The controller of Street Musician would be singing for ages... gluestick248 Controlling two other spririts is quite a hoop to jump throuch, but having an opponent discard two cards is also a nice payoff. Not sure if its a good common though because the condition is probably hard to meet in a game of limited. Using a shrieking dirge to tackle the music limit is pretty slick, however. sorsal Solid card. The flavor works and paints a clear picture of what the card is: a boombox mech, which is really cool btw. {And the winner is...}
Grapple X! A solid common design that also is a reference to an older Kamigawa card and came with fitting artwork.
Pretty good entries from all others, too! Thanks for participating! |

Good timing, passing by righ now 
Yeah, seems like our winner hasn't been online in two months now. ameisenmeister , the easiest would be for you to declare a runner-up, whom would then take over? Otherwise, I'll get this thing started again by tomorrow  |

Seems ike there's no way out for me OK then, here you go - random number generator chose for you:
LIMIT #13: Bless your soul: Your card is an enchantment. LIMIT #112: You're out of touch, I'm out of life: Your card is (temporarily/conditionally) unblockable or grants unblockability in any form (Flying, unblockable, etc.). (Thanks, melono!) LIMIT #180: Like in an action movie: Your card mentions an action keyword. (like Scry or Discard – see here for full list.) (Thanks, Daij_Djan) |

So I kinda had this idea for a guy who got caught in a time rift and then it closed after the mending... or maybe some Chronomancy spell went wrong. Either way, this guy now has kind of melded into time, and uses chronomancy to reverse some nasty stuff when he pops up.  |

Three entries isn't much for this contest, but I know me: If I don't judge this one now, I'll forget – so here we go: { Idea} First of all: Enchantment creature is a clever twist, didn't expect that  That aside, I'm pretty sure this card doesn't really work the way you want it to. (Full disclosure: I'm not a judge, but I'm pretty sure we've had a similar discussion on the forum a few years ago and I just checked the rules again. Still, I might be completely wrong.)Problem is, „transformed creature“ has no rules meaning. You can „transform“ a card, or make it ETB „transformed“ (or nowadyas cast it like this), but other than that you cannot refer to a transformed permanent since „transformed/untransformed“ is none of the four statuses (tapped/untapped, flipped/unflipped, face up/face down & phased in/phased out – see Comp Rule 110.5). According to Comp. Rule 712, you'd need to word it something like „~ can only be blocked by creatures represented on the back faces of transforming double-faced cards.“ instead – which is quite the mouthful Also there are MDFCs, which while having two faces cannort be transformed by any means any would most likely cause confusion to players not knowing.. Again, I might be wrong, but I think this is one of those seemingly simple designs Magic's rules sadly just don't handle well if at all. { pernicious} This one is a bit tricky to evaluate. With the exception of Hidetsugu, no other card allows to repetatively sacrifice creatures for more than Scry 1, then again most of those do cost less mana..? Honestly, I'm really not sure about this card's balancing, WotC might rebalance it completely – but no matter what I definitely like the concept anyway  |

I could have sworn there were cards that cared about transformed, but I guess I was misremembering after checking scryfall. However: A) Transformation is explicitly different from any of those four statuses and non-transforming cards (including modal cards) do not transform, to my understanding. B) While there isn't transforming caring in cards, there is a state of "transformed" mentioned in cards, specifically in cards that "come into the battlefield transformed", like the Neon Dynasty Sagas and sparkers (I think that's the term for those creatures that turn into planeswalkers). That being said, you're probably right, and my initial design was based on a thought I had which turns out to be false (that there were transformed-caring cards already). Anyways, congratulations on the win ameisenmeister ! |

That being said, you're probably right, and my initial design was based on a thought I had which turns out to be false (that there were transformed-caring cards already). Anyways, congratulations on the win ameisenmeister ! Regarding 'cards that cared about 'transformed,' there are three non-transforming cards in the canon that have transform (the mechanic) in their rules text:
Moonmist: a card that "transforms all humans." The wording is notable because back when origins was standard, this was a meme gatewatch removal spell; the time didn't line up for it to be a meme in standard, but it was still a meme.
So yeah, there aren't any cards that care about cards being transformed. There are four ways I think you could make the effect work, but none of them are perfect solutions
- Cloudshift/Flickerwisp target two doublefaced creature; doubleface cards by default (with exceptions for the daybound-nightbound stuff) enter the battlefield front-side up, so blinking/flickering is a legit detransformative strategy. The game does recognize when permanents have a backside, so it works. The issue is that it creates LTB and ETB triggers which might not be what you want. It'll also hit some false positives from kaldheim and new innistrad, and it might not play nice with morph/manifest/etc. This won't work on daybound-nightbound permanents, but nothing will because of DB-NB rules (725 Day and Night, and 702.145a-g Daybound and Nightbound.)
- Transform target creature that transformed this turn or entered the battlefield transformed this turn; the game's very good at remembering what happened, much better than it is at recognizing the boardstate, which means you could the transform back effect by recognizing when the action which created the 'psuedo-state.' The downside to this is that the game's memory is either a bit too good, in which case if you copied this ability you could get back to the transformed side, or not good enough, as this effect would be constrained en passant.
- Change the comprehensive rules to make the card work; this is a nuclear option that no one ever recommends, but it is technically an option.

Idea Another thing you can do is to have your card create a new designation that is assigned to a permanent that came from the back face of a transforming double-faced card. These new "designations" have no rules meaning other than enabling effects to refer to objects by using that designation (if an object has been assigned that designation). This is how Monstrous (701.31b) and Renown (702.112b) work. Time-Lost Exorcist 2W Enchantment Creature - Human Cleric C Flash Lifelink Creatures represented on the back face of transforming double-faced cards are altformed. ~ can only be blocked by altformed creatures. 1W, T: Transform target altformed creature. 2/2

I like this thread's game. I tried to give this card a Conspiracy feeling by giving it an ability that other players could use during a draft.
vizionarius Thank you for the tip. I have a question about your card: The colon in the middle of "Remove a charge counter from Warlord's Ballista: Warlord's Ballista deals 3 damage to target attacking or blocking creature." makes the activated ability count as one sentence or as two sentences? |
