wip Tyrant of Rot    Creature- Zombie Dragon Flying Devour 1 When ~ dies, it deals damage equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on it to target creature or player. 4/3 (the modern wording for the last ability would be "any target") flavor is a jund dragon reanimated, saw devour was only on one commom |

Since mixing together different shards was a theme of Alara Reborn, I decided to go with an exalted card that gives you a boost for having power 5 or greater, mixing together Bant and Naya themes. |

Neottolemo: Reminds me of mining mana from Daji's Karsus project. Other than that, I think this a pretty great way of solving the "no one drops" issue while still staying in the spirit of the multicolor theme of Alara Reborn. Jartis: This is a great card, but I don't think it belongs at common. Generally, common does not really feature tutors like this (there may be exceptions I'm not thinking of, but those likely don't fall under being proper in modern design principles) Tesagk: Too complicated for common. The other problem with this is that it also has too much text for common (I plugged this in earlier, and it was I think 8 or 9 lines of text? Not okay.) Power-wise, the modes are too disparate - the white mode is comparatively trash compared to everything else there. Overall, the parasitic name-checking and complexity make this a not good design. gluestick248: First of all, love the flavor text. Now for the actual card itself: I think it could be a little bit better. Then again, Fork in the Road says that maybe this is fine power-wise, but this is gonna be a tough pick against things with basic landcycling, which are less color intensive and which serve non-mana related functions. Overall a good design - just might need to be a bit stronger. augur: Cute! I'm hesistant at putting large fliers at common, but the ease that one can remove this makes me a bit less wary. Anyways, this is a cool design that leaks some nice Alara flavor(TM). gateways7: One thing - I'd like it more if it checked the power of the creature after attacking so that you could untap it based on its power after exalted bonuses. Barring that, this is a sweet way to combine two shards. Winner is augur, with gateways7 as a runner-up. Thanks for participating, y'all!

Thanks! The next set is Theros! The additional restriction is that your card cannot have only the creature card type- noncreatures are obviously fine, but any creatures must be enchantment or artifact creatures. ( also since it'll be more visible than in an edit, golden game is getting judged after my final tmrw) |

Heretical Insurgency  Legendary Enchantment  Fated (You must control a permanent of each
color of this spell in order to cast it.)As long as you control Heretical Insurgency, all enchantment cards lose all other supertypes. They are only enchantments. Creatures with bestow that are enchanting another creature are sent to the graveyard when that creature leaves the battlefield. Flavor: I went for a card that I felt like would upset the order of things. Might be because I'm upset that my favorite Planeswalker is trapped on the plane, or maybe I just have an inner rebellious streak when it comes to strict religions...{Render}  |

Meletis Guardsman  Enchantment Creature - Human Soldier Heroic - Whenever you cast a spell that targets Polis Guardsman, draw a card, then instants, sorceries, and Auras you own cost 1 less to cast until the end of the turn. "Ephara's light shines within me, blessing me with the knowledge to help my city and the strength to keep it safe."2/1 EDIT: I made the card at 6:30 in the morning, I was tired, I forgot. Fixed. |

new day new judging {viriss} The cost is interesting- I like how it influences deckbuilding, since it’s six mana in a two color deck but only four in a three color deck. The Golden Fleece is a little difficult to represent top-down since I think it’s left ambiguous as to why the Fleece is so desired, but I like the ability nevertheless. At the same time, I think it’s a bit of an awkward fit for Theros and for its own types. It pushes for multicolored decks in a set with devotion as a key theme. The God’s Weapons cycle felt like they deserved the status of Enchantment Artifact (static + activated), but apart from the physical nature about the fleece the card could just have the enchantment type. also feels like it’s missing the legendary supertype. {Tesagk} Heretical Insurgency Legendary Enchantment Fated (You must control a permanent of each
color of this spell in order to cast it.)As long as you control Heretical Insurgency, all enchantment cards lose all other supertypes. They are only enchantments. Creatures with bestow that are enchanting another creature are sent to the graveyard when that creature leaves the battlefield. Flavor: I went for a card that I felt like would upset the order of things. Might be because I'm upset that my favorite Planeswalker is trapped on the plane, or maybe I just have an inner rebellious streak when it comes to strict religions...{Render} To start, I liked Fated a lot. I wasn’t a very big fan of legendary instant/sorceries, but fated presents a slightly different question that, while still significant, isn’t as massive of a hoop as legendary sorc were. I think the card itself is in a bit of an odd spot- typically hate cards want to come down early, but Insurgency is 4cmc and requires three creatures/etc to have an impact. It can do a lot of damage against a bestow-heavy deck, but bestow was never really a constructed strategy and in limited the effect is rather narrow. (also, some minor comments on the ability- imo it should be worded as “Other enchantments lose all nonenchantment card types.” and “As a creature dies, put all cards with bestow attached to it into their owner’s graveyards.” the second ability doesn’t follow from the first, the bestow aura would still become unattached and just sit there as an enchantment, so the new effect overrides that rule (but since it is a new effect is on its own line)) {Jartis} Caring about gods makes sense for a Mount Olympus inspired card. The last ability likely takes it too far, though- in format where it’s tutorable, the ability to toss out indestructible 5/5s starting on turn 3 is a little much. That’s partially on the gods for being hard to deal with once animated, but the animation itself is meant to be difficult. {gluestick248} Nylea’s Gift Enchantment — Aura Enchant creature Enchanted creature has trample. : Return Nylea’s Gift to its owner’s hand. You gain 3 life. augur: Added rarity A nice cheap heroic enabler that would also have future-synergy with constellation in Journey into Nyx. Trample is a good keyword to grant, especially since green heroic creatures tend to grow big, and the life is a solid bonus as well. While it wouldn’t break limited it would be a very high pick for a number of green decks- limiting the activated ability would make it more safe. {gateways7} Meletis Guardsman Enchantment Creature - Human Soldier Heroic - Whenever you cast a spell that targets Polis Guardsman, draw a card, then instants, sorceries, and Auras you own cost 1 less to cast until the end of the turn. "Ephara's light shines within me, blessing me with the knowledge to help my city and the strength to keep it safe."2/1 EDIT: I made the card at 6:30 in the morning, I was tired, I forgot. Fixed. I like the heroic effect- drawing cards is clearly good, but the cost reduction helps you have larger turns in the lategame. The main concern is that it doesn’t feel like an enchantment creature, an issue exacerbated that you get the most value out of it by treating it like a creature. {kefke} Neat find- I don’t think this concept was touched by Theros (maybe bc Hercules wasn’t?). I don’t like how this card turned out, though. If this was just an Enchantment Land- Forest Plains that etb tapped that would already be a solid card, but introducing the triggered ability is a little much. The triggered ability isn’t even incredibly good, just worth activating once or twice, but it pushes a card that was already playable into the “very solid” range. Good entries… {Winner}
…but the best was gluestick248!
Runner-up is Tesagk.

Fair cop, augur . The design was a leftover idea from another contest that I couldn't submit because I was judging. In all honesty, I knew it probably should have been legendary with the mana gen as an ability, or something. I put on the Land Tax effect to play up the enchantment aspect, and then scaled it back to account for Enchantment Land making it more valuable already. As far as the current contest...  I decided to go as close to how it would have been printed back in the day as I could. |

 Flavor: I figured I'd use an angel since they were there in the lore. Flashback came out in Torment, and I figured I'd boost up the Angel's power given its mana cost, by adding a 3 CMC bomb anyone can activate. |
