And once again, I've stuff to do, but this one's over-ripe. It's close between viriss and Flo00, but I'mma give it to Flo00 because their card actively incentivizes a high inclusion rate, and works wonders as a self mill options for alternative win-con. |

I love me some random challenges 
EDIT: Here we go!
At first, I wanted to do a Landfall ("Forestfall"?) design, but then I came up with the idea of returning lands to your hand as "downside" - to allow recasting the creatures turned into Forests by Yedora. And then, probably inspired by the recent CotW contest, I decided to do a Sweep card. Yeah, it's a horrible mechanic - but that's kind of exactly why I wanted to do it 
I tried to fit the card as good into the original block as possible, which is why it creates the same Spirit tokens and is "balanced" (if you want to call it like that  ) roughly the same way as the other four (meaning it costs roughly  more than the effect should cost if you return two lands).

To be honest, I rolled a couple times because I got real rotten luck (praise algortheos 🎲_🎲). I finally landed on Esior, Wardwing Familiar. It has partner, I figure I can partially ignore the color identity restrictions as long as I can pick it up the identity difference with a partner. The card feels esper and Tymna and Ravos fit the bill.
Extract Surplus Value
A generic, a blue, a white, and a black
Instant
Common
Counter target spell, then if the amount of mana paid to cast the spell was different from its mana value, create an amount of treasure equal to that difference.
(Treasure are artifact Treasure tokens with "T, sacrifice this: add one mana of any color.") |
A straight forward counterspell with a conditional upside that plays into Esior's gimmick. Since Esior makes it more expensive to target your commander, and tymna and ravos are both hate magnets, it makes sense you'd want to protect them even when your opponent sinks the extra three mana to hate. This counter gets you three treasure in that case, but there are so many alternative costs, additional costs, cost reductions, and ways to play without paying that most games you're gonna find a value piece to hit. I think this is about right power-wise, but it's right at the cusp of acceptable common complexity, cause three color commons are very atypical. But, this feels like an esper card, so I'mma submit it for consideration as such. |

I got Otrimi, so here’s a mutating buddy that can help get in for damage: Fanged Fiend  Creature — Nightmare Scorpion Mutate  Whenever this creature attacks, you may put a deathtouch counter on it. 2/1 |

Congratz to our winner - and big thanks for runner-up 
That's really the best I could have hoped to achieve with such an objectively bad card |

Alright, so celebrating that win, make a common or uncommon creature with mana value 6 or more. Bonus points if that creature is in colors not normally associated with large creatures.

Invalid entry ====== Terrormaw  Creature - Dinosaur Horror ~ costs more to cast for each colored permanent you control. 6/6 If you feel the canvas shimmer, slide. If you hear its gray roar, rage. If you see its warped visage, it’s too late. |

Necropolis Colossus  Creature - Zombie Giant When Necropolis Colossus becomes the target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it. Unearth (: Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the end step or if it would leave the battlefield. Unearth only as a sorcery.)6/4 |

Laisser Sphinx
Two generic, Two white, and two blue
Creature — Sphinx
Uncommon
Flying, Lifelink
Whenever you gain life, scry that many cards, then
if you put no cards on the bottom of your library this
way, draw a card.
1/8

The Idea behind this card is that the sphinx doesn't, by itself do much of anything but allow fate to take its course, it is the laisser sphinx. |

Creature - Goblin Whenever Salt Sower deals combat damage to a player, exile target nonbasic land controlled by that player. Search that player’s graveyard, hand, and library for all cards with the same name as that land and exile them. Then that player shuffles. 2/3

Bold Plagiarist  Creature — Dinosaur Flash Whenever an opponent puts one or more counters on a creature they control, they put the same number and kind of counters on Bold Plagiarist. 6/6 “I know a good idea when I see one. If you feel the ground quake, run. If you hear its bellow, flee. If you see its teeth, it’s too late.”

I'll take it. Your next challenge is to design a common or uncommon that features either the Undercity Dungeon or a new Dungeon you've created. Note that Undercity does not explicitly require Initiative, just that the card's venture must explicitly list it as an option among the dungeons. I will generally be looking for if your card synergizes with the Dungeon it features (preferably without being overly parasitic). Good luck! |

Creature - Goblin Haste
Whenever Quickfoot Adventurer deals combat damage to an opponent, venture into Undercity.
Exploring the Undercity is dangerous business that requires careful preparation; but sometimes, running really fast will do the trick all the same.
2/1

To keep things going, I'll repost my entry from Picture into card from a month ago:  Dungeonkeeper Abomination Creature - Zombie Mutant Guardian When Dungeonkeeper Abomination enters the battlefield, you take the initiative. Whenever an opponent ventures into the dungeon, they lose 2 life. 5/4 |

Shame we didn't get more entries but the show must go on. I think Flo00 wins. Both designs are straightforward but Dungeonkeeper Abomation plays better with the multiplayer aspect of it. |
