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 fifty-ninth challenge!
The winner of the "How poetic" poll was HonchkrowDavid with... And the challenge issued by our winner was... Your creature card can enter the battlefield at instant speed. You cannot give it flash.

Just use the edit button in the top/right of your original post.And now, time to begin the challenge! Best of luck, competitors!

When in doubt, do a common 
I've seen many people giving Ninjutsu their own personal twist - and here's mine. Comp. Rules 701.10d+e cover exchanging of cards between zones just fine (like auras and equipments attached to the creature returned to your hand being attached to the ambushing creature after the exchange) for the most part. To make this ability work as (obviously) intended, a clause saying blockers stay the same as well would need to be added though. |

This technically counts, right?
Holy Bones    Creature--Angel Skeleton  Flying, vigilance, lifelink
At the beginning of each end step, if you gained 5 or more life this turn, return Holy Bones from your graveyard to the battlefield.
 : Until end of turn, target creature gets +2/+2 and gains lifelink. Activate this ability only if Holy Bones is in your graveyard. 4/1 |

 Took me longer than I would have liked, but I think I'm okay with this. It's Bant-colored because so is Derevi. |

(Might as well use one of the mythics I planned for that Warriors set in development.)  (The original was a legendary creature with 2/3 and B/W/G for the Ambush cost, but if we're going to have a card on front page might as well make it a 'generic' character). |

A prediction of the kind of nonsense WAR will contain  Gideon’s Oathsworn  Creature — Human Soldier  First strike , Reveal Gideon’s Oathsworn from your hand: Put Gideon’s Oathsworn from your hand onto the battlefield blocking target creature that’s attacking a planeswalker you control. Activate this ability only during the declare blockers step. 3/2 {borked}  Gideon’s Oathsworn Creature — Human Soldier First strike Whenever a creature attacks a planeswalker you control, you may pay . If you do, put Gideon’s Oathsworn from your hand onto the battlefield. It blocks that creature this combat if able. 3/2 |

Given that you have to sacrifice creatures for Deathstroke, I think maybe the cost should be cheaper? But you can still pay the difference in mana, so maybe not.

Battle Boards future scenarios return again to Card of the Week. This time, it's future Karina, who gave her spark to Hannah to save the latter from a core meltdown. Thanks, cajun and WindyDelcarlo for making the entire #battle-boards section of the MSE Discord cry. |

 {Old}  [/spoiler][/spoiler] So basically, as long as it's in your hand, every instant or sorcery spell you cast have kicker for   to kind-of- Electrolyze (although an opponent can stop this by destroying Shadow of Dynamics at instant speed after it entered the battlefield and before it's bounce effect is realized) until you choose to bounce an instant or sorcery spell for reuse (although with higher CMC, it very quickly becomes very hard to add the on top). Or you can always cast it normally, then it is still formidable. |

Edited my entry since I realised that abilities that triggered abilities from hidden zones don't actually work, even with the reveal clause. Boogymanjunior digiman Jartis FLAREdirector you might wanna swap to activated abilities, or make the trigger into a static casting modifier somehow. (And hergusbergus @cyanogynist: needs a "Reveal ~ from your hand" in the cost.)

I changed my text according to Splice onto Arcane, I would say this should work... |

Sure, that works since it's a static ability now rather than a triggered one.
