Ad-Libbed Device Artifact Ad-Libbed Device enters the battlefield tapped. , : Draw a card. Activate this ability only once each turn.
On its own this is just a simple cantrip for . However imagine this card as Limited support for Improvise or similar. The once per turn restriction was added to prevent the card from getting broken
EDIT: Text version for now since my image hoster seems to have an issue?

The first post of this thread says that render is forbidden. How the prohibition ended? I can't figure it nevertheless I read first some posts.

The first post of this thread says that render is forbidden. How the prohibition ended? I can't figure it nevertheless I read first some posts.
That's becuase the first post is a direct copy from the old forum where this challenge started around ten years ago (or so). Back then most challenges suggested putting renders into spoilers so that they wouldn't use up to much band width for mobile devices unless one specifically opened the spoiler and therefore accessed the render.
Since mobile contracts have (thankfully) moved away from directly paying per MB used, that rule slowly became superfluous over time. I decided to cross it out in the original post a few minutes ago - had no idea it was still mentioned there

I got it. I thought that it was intended to make posts more 'poor'.

Imma do this real quick and hope the next challenge would be more engaging: Though I like twintania their card, and making a pretty good 2-for-1 that could genuinely see play, I'll give the win to viriss for having the bonus be a bonus I would actually say is relatively unexplored territory for white, which I would say it should be explored more. The removal is also in line with white. Gratz viriss !

May I use another name for the same ability?

Going to go with Ymonrah's take on the name here because I think it works better for flavor: EDIT: Mixed this up with Keyword challenge, last minute new version incoming: Righthook Elemental Creature - Elemental Haste, Unstoppable (You may have this creature assign its combat damage as though it weren’t blocked.)At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice ~ 3/1 "No ducking that right hook, son." — The BoulderA sort of creature-based Lava Spike that I costed at Searing Spear levels to make it fit more in line with expected Standard power. I decided to make both versions reference each other so here's the old one with art and complementary flavor text for reference: Unstoppable Force Creature - Elemental Haste, Unstoppable (You may have this creature assign its combat damage as though it weren’t blocked.)At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice ~ 6/1 "Its left hook is all be guaranteed, son." — The Bouldernot the fanciest thing ever but I got the idea of this themed Ball Lightning with a Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder type flavor and wanted to visualize it.

At first, I thought it as a common 3/1 with haste and hunter. But I found that the persistent and tough stats will make her look more horrible. And sometimes yandere is regarded as a psychopath. On a mass attacking at the end game in limited, not infrequently she will be non-blocked for the opponent is lacking a creature to intercept her even if they could foresee that leaving her alive will be fatal. In this situation, she will look calculating and having been waiting the time to ripe and I feel it will be fun to use. The first flavor text is based on a famous word of a yandere girl in netlore. If you are interested in her, you can google "お兄ちゃんどいて!そいつ殺せない" to search for her information.

melono : That's an interesting design, nice flavor text. I might want to make it uncommon since its non-predatory counterpart has been made an uncommon in Ultimate Masters. It could be said that there is a bit of color bleed since the hunter ability is usually green but, since blue gets full unblockability and your card is also green, I think that it's fine nonetheless. ZephyrPhantom : That's definitely good material for an aggro deck. I might want to raise its cost up to . Idea told me that there is only a single monored card that bestows hunter, so I think that treating red as a secondary color for this keyword would be an appropriate choice.
twintania : A card with a fun, yet sinister flavor. I agree with you, making it a 2/4 is a more flavorful choice than making it a 3/1. I'd raise its cost up to . The winner is twintania! With melono and ZephyrPhantom as runnerups.

I remember back when people scorned the idea of PWs going below rare. How times have changed. Masked Acolyte Planeswalker : Target creature gets -3/-3. Until end of turn, if the targeted creature dies, you gain 3 life. : Each player discards three cards. : Create a 3/3 white Angel creature token with flying. "I endure the darkness to find the candlelights left in this world."I feel like historically it's very tempting to make lower rarity PWs smaller and less likely to have any big impact on the board. Inspired Read the Tides I decided to try and do something a little more dramatic (for common, anyway). All - abilities are intentional to prevent it from being too flexible and closer to a charm of sorts.

Masked Acolyte/ ZephyrPhantom Like uncommon PWs in WotS, common PWs will be needed to reduce its difficulty. Indeed, this PW charm has very low difficulty. But it lacks the impact that the presence of a PW brings to the board. Uncommon PWs kept to occur the interactions that you want to keep them in play and your opponent tries to remove it from play though they are simplified. I am assuming a virtual limited environment where common PWs exsit in. There will be some creatures like "Has menace as long as you have a PW in play" or "When ~ etb, if a PW died this turn, put a +1/+1 on any target" and sometimes you will try to keep Masked Acolyte in play in this environment. But I estimate this kind of PW will be uncommon or higher rarity and has more efficient mana value for it is deviate from the main roll of PW. In other words, it is not "common" for PW. About the ability, it is nice because the environment will be a bit slower than standard limited environment for common PW and all of them fit with the long game. Impy the Fiery/ vizionarius If you play first, Impy at third turn seems to be a bit significant influence to the game. In most cases, it will keep to live through some turns and at any time in them, it burns a critical creature then still survive with one or two loyalty. To tell the truth, I can't image accurately how it works in limited games compared to other MSE cards. Maybe starting with 1 loyalty is more balanced though the double symbol might already balanced its power level for it reduces the possibility to cast it at third turn in two colored deck. Winner: vizionarius. Impy has an impact on the interaction on the board and it is the essence of PW, I think.

Thanks for the win! I had to think a bit on how to go about your challenge. Glad the result was liked!
Next: Design a common creature with an alternate casting cost.

Aspiring Recruit Creature - Human Soldier "I'm joining to make a difference, sir, like my mother and father before me!"============ Distinguished (You may cast this card for its distinguished cost. If you do, it gains the following properties instead.Seasoned Marshal Creature - Human Soldier Whenever Seasoned Marshal attacks, you may tap target creature. "To make a difference, you should always have a plan, and never rely on it."============ 2/2 (Art: An older scarred man in white painted-over armor looks at a young boy standing at attention with patchwork leather armor.) Inverse prototype where the P/T is kept the same but other qualities of the card radically change. To further distinguish from Prototype Distinguish is featured on the bottom of the card rather than the top, and Distinguished cards are meant to be older versions of their original card. {Spoiler} Magician's Trick Instant Prototype (You may cast this spell with different mana cost, color, and size. It keeps its abilities and types.)Return target creature with converted mana cost less than the amount of mana you paid for ~ to its owner's hand. A great magician also has to build up their secrets.
