I was hoping to get a few more entries before wrapping this up, but it looks like it's not meant to be, so here we go. {judging} | sdfkjgh | No render provided | Raging Cockatrice
Two black and two red
Creature--Cockatrice
Flying, deathtouch, deathtouch for planeswalkers,
haste, aggressor (This creature must attack each
combat if able.)
Whenever Raging Cockatrice attacks, you may pay
two generic, a black, and a red. If you do, it fights
target creature or planeswalker. (Planeswalkers
fight using their current loyalty.)
Whenever a creature or planeswalker dealt damage
by Raging Cockatrice this turn dies, put a +1/+1
counter on Raging Cockatrice.
1/5 | It's a pretty strong removal engine with the ability to pick a fight and survive, and likely
survive a block too, assuming you didn't pick off the defending player's only flier/reacher
in the attacking trigger. And, especially so, since it gets that +1/+1 counter from each
death match.
Overall a strong powerhouse card that plays nice with the established canon of cockatrices,
whose only shared defining trait is deathtouch and flying. Put enough combat steps behind
this thing, and it suddenly becomes a real threat.
| lordpat
| No render provided | Feljhorn, Ancient Cavedweller
Three generic, a white, a blue, and a black
Legendary Creature - Elder Cockatrice
Deathouch, flying, ward 2
When Feljhorn enters the battlefield, create a
Feljhorn's Gaze enchantment aura token with
"Enchant creature" and "Enchanted creature can't
attack and its activated abilities can't be activated".
Attatch it to a creature you don't' control.
Whenever Feljhorn attacks, draw X cards and gain X
life,where X is the number of auras you control
attatched to permaments you don't control.
5/5 | I like that you starting off with a real dark horse design, going with esper instead of
the established sultai cockatrice, or easy to imagine jund.
I think your templating could use a bit more work. Typically the format for
named tokens is either:
• Create a <p t=""> <color> <type> [named <name>] [<status>]. The token has <abilities>.
• Create a </abilities></status></name></type></color></p><p t=""> <color> <type>
token with <abilities> [named <name></name></abilities></type></color></p>]
Other than that minor nitpick it's a decent card.
Gameplay-wise, it looks like a cross between Zedruu, the greathearted and
Zur the Enchanter: Unfortunately, I hate playing against both those decks
as well as hate playing as one of them. It's not a sin of the card, just an
unlucky mismatch of judge taste, sorry.
| | Flo00 | 
| Enraged Cockatrice
A generic, a red, and two green
Creature - Cockatrice
Flying, wither
When Enraged Cockatrice enters the battlefield,
if you didn’t cast it from your hand, it gains haste
until end of turn and target opponent sacrifices a
creature.
3/2
Art by dan scott | This card feels strange to me, because while I know red and green both have ways to
cheat creatures in, it almost feels like it wants access to that black graveyard
shenanaganory or white/blue blink and flicker, in order to best facilitate repeatedly
using the etb trigger.
Wither is a nice touch, but other than that, it feels a bit overcosted what most of the
time will be a vanilla+ 3/2. | | ameisenmeister |  | Swiftwing Cockatrice
A red and a green
Creature- Cockatrice
Flash
When swiftwing Cockatrice enters the battlefield,
it gains first strike until end of turn.
A red and a green: swiftwing cockatrice gains
deathtouch and flying until end of turn.
2/2
Art by akreon at deviant art | The three canon cockatrices all have deathtouch or deathtouch-esque effects, so giving this
fella conditional deathtouch is a safe way to provide it a sense of belonging with the canon
cockatrices.
It's a pretty standard red/green combat trick that lets you kill one attacking creature,
especially if you have the extra mana to activate its ability after summoning it: and putting
the keywords behind triggered and activated abilities helps keep the creatures base cost
down, which is good because a 2/2 for 2 is just a reasonable body, and a nice bonus to have
after playing a combat trick. |
{Winner} There was a bit of a flob on my part, and I missed an entry in the original judgement. Sorry, ameisenmeister, but considering all the entries, I have to give it to sdfkjgh who made stronger use of the cockatrice's canon mechanics to build an interesting game piece. |

Sorry, I'll get that added in. It got hidden by banter; but, it's my bad for not seeing it.
Good news, I judged your entry and it won. Sorry for the confusion, and I'm glad you noticed before the next challenge got issued, since that would have made things messy. |

hydraheadhunter: Thanks for the win, and sorry to ameisenmeister. Let's all hope such unpleasantness doesn't happen again.
I'm feeling a bit weird from my recent judging, so let's keep it rolling: I want an actual black-bordered Saproling card. Not a token, not a card that makes a Saproling token (unless it itself is also a Saproling), but a Saproling card. You have two weeks. |

Forgot the Power/Toughness  1/5I'm sorry. Didn't knew I had to credit the artist. Also I don't know the artist, but it is from Warhammer 40,000 ameu I've let this slide before because from what I saw there were good reasons, but I'd like to ask you to please start crediting the artists on the cards image in the future (you can click on the bottom left field next to the paintbrush and fill it in with the artist name). We understand it can be tough to find and label sources, but we want to respect the artist whenever possible. =)
If you don't know the exact artist (Yugioh in particular is guilty of not crediting its artists), the company that owns the art will suffice. (I.e. the company that owns Warhammer, not Warhammer itself) - ZephyrPhantom |

Oops. What is time?
Judging--
viriss: A nice little token-vomiter that if they don't kill it immediately, especially on an otherwise empty board, is gonna take over the game pretty quickly. Me likey.
Nonagon Infinity: Another token-vomiter, but with less disincentive to kill it, and more reliance on it remaining on the board. Interesting, but I don't see what's particularly  about it.
Flo00: You cheeky bastard. You're getting by on chutzpah points alone, you should know that. Way to make Dogged Hunter even more relevant than it already is.
ameu: I'ma give you a break on the artist credit, p/t, bad templating, and poor matching of art to mechanics/typeline (giant, floating, tentacled brains doesn't scream "Human" to me at all), and tell you to do better next time on those fronts. In fact, if you're ever unsure of how to properly template anything, you can send me a PM about it. The abilities all work together quite well, it's just that last hoop you have to jump through in order to have some removal. It's too much, for not enough. Possibly a better ability would've been this:
 , Sacrifice two Saprolings: Destroy target Saproling you don't control, gain 1 life, and draw a card. Any player may activate this ability, but only as a sorcery.
foureyesisafish: I'm sorry, but just no. Flo00 was clever, you're just derivative.
Jartis: I'm not sure yours will see itself for its ability to trigger without explicitly stating something like "Whenever ~ or another nontoken creature you control dies...", but it's pretty nice life insurance for your Saps.
Honorable Mention: Flo00. I have to give you the slowclap award.
D/Qed: foureyesisafish. Don't just phone it in next time.
Last place: ameu. That hoop was just too much.
Next: Nonagon Infinity. The unnecessary second color and the overreliance on your entry sticking around just hurt you too much. I guess you were going for a Master of Waves, but that card at least had some for of protection, and yours doesn't.
Second Place: Jartis. We all need Life Insurance, or so the insurance companies tell us, even though they're a pain in the ass who won't or can't follow the simplest of directions, sending us a summary of the policy each time we ask for a copy of the FULL policy, and whenever we complain, all we get is excuses along the lines of "Oh, that policy was written on actual paper so long ago, it's in a filing cabinet somewhere...", meanwhile I've got an SSI deadline breathing down my neck, and--
Ral: Dude, chill! They don't need to hear about your personal life.
You're right. Anyway, good card is good.
Winner: viriss. I always love cards that remind me of this little terror. |

Chefmaster General Two generic and two red or white Dwarf Advisor Non-creature food you control are equipment in addition to their other types and have equip 2 and equipped creature gets +2/+0. FT: Dwarves are a pragmatic folk: Their rations double as cudgels, or more accurrately their cudgels are theoritically edible.3/3
Discworld dwarfs are best dwarfs: rest in peace Sir Terry Pratchett. The card's mechanics itself takes its cues from bludgeon brawl. Thanks sdfkjgh for P/T. I didn't persay forget, but some of the keys on my laptop are broken, and I'm a-betting I typed it out and it didn't go. |

hydraheadhunter: GNU Sir PTerry. I'm not sure I wanna win over your entry. However, you forgot p/t. For reference.
Oh well, have an entry specially made for this Challenge:
Igni Glodsdottir, Breaker of Sieges   Legendary Creature--Dwarf Advisor Warrior  First strike, vigilance, exalted (Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, that creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
Igni Glodsdottir, Breaker of Sieges has deathtouch as long as it’s blocking.
No more than one creature can attack you or planeswalkers you control each combat.
Creatures can’t attack you or planeswalkers you control unless their controller sacrifices a creature for each creature they control that’s attacking you. 2/6 |

Duergar High Concil  Creature - Dwarf Advisor  Vigilance Other Dwarfs you control have vigilance. At the end of combat of your turn, you may discard up to X cards, where X is the number of Dwarfs that dealt combat damage to an opponent this turn. Draw a card for each card discarded this way. 2/4 |

Okay, so for mouse, I'll admit to being a dumbass that can't read but, the wiki didn't include beaver cause the only beaver card (atp) is Eager Beaver: An uncard. So, I added a section to the race and creature class wiki pages detailing the uncard types of each category. |

Gods damn it, if ferrets aren't the most rodent-like non-rodent... new entry. This one just felt so Jund to me: like imagine a squirrel's chilling in Naya and the conflux happens, and now it suddenly has to deal with all the dragon-level predators of jund. It's gonna learn how to fly real quick, and it's gonna need a more efficient food source to keep up with its metabolic needs as a (actual) flying squirrel. { old entry}  | Wisteria Harvester
A Red, a Green, and a White
Creature - Ferret Citizen
Haste, Trample, Lifelink
Wisteria Harvester gets +1/+1 for each enchanted land you control.
When Wisteria Harvester enters the battlefield, create Dawn's Dew, a green and white enchantment aura token with "enchant land" and "whenever enchanted land is tapped
for mana, it's controller adds an additional mana of any type produced. (When Dawn's Dew enters the battlefield it attaches to a land of your choice.)
