Well, in honor of wining with Giant Weird, a giant weird, (and because Spice8Rack pointed out that there aren't enough of them) for your next challenge:
A type so nice, you gotta say it twice: Create a card that's name and typeline match. For Legendaries, you may bend the rules a little to give it a name, but the epithet should match the type line.

Tentacle Island  Land Creature - Tentace Island  (As long as this is a land, it has " : Add  .")Tentacle Island isn’t a land unless there is another tapped creature on the battlefield. Tentacle Island isn’t a creature unless you control a Kraken or Octopus. I’ve seen enough hentai to know where this is going.2/2 Playing this still counts as playing a land, even if it doesn't enter as one. And yes, this can be a permanent without a type. But that isn't new since 2004. |

 I really tried to do "Guest Host", but it just doesn't work out nicely. |

Whelp, this is awkward. I've got stuff to do, but I've left this untouched for far too long. sdfkjgh gets it. Jartis at a close second. |

hydraheadhunter: Thanks for the win.
Let's class up this joint a little. Design me three or four cards that are related in some way (your choice how, but it has to be readily apparent, even without an explanation), each with class but no race (i.e. one or more class creature types, but no race creature types. If you're having trouble figuring out if a creature type is a race or a class, I'll let you know).
Alternately give me a single creature with NO creature types whatsoever.
Ral: Nameless Races up the wazoo! |

Judging!
sorsal: These are a bit of a mess, honestly. One taps and untapped, while the other two sac something, and it really would've been better for you to provide a unity of vision by having them all do one or the other. I know if I was doing these myself, I'd go with them all tapping an untapped, because it's better to keep your stuff around. The individual effects are interesting (especially when looked at individually in a vacuum), but not necessarily good (especially when considered as a whole).
Flo00: See, this is more what I was hoping for: Phyrexians. You managed to take one of the most BAH-roken mechanics and find a way to make them (relatively) fair. That alone got you the win, but you also put the effects on completely balanced creatures, and tied those effects to things that just make sense for what the effects do. Bravo.
Shame we didn't get more entries. |

Thanks for the praise and win sdfkjgh! Next: Show me a Horse! You can't fool me, you asked for this strictly for the memes! Well, two can play at that game:
Amazing Horse   Creature--Horse  Tap an untapped Human creature you control: Amazing Horse gets +1/+1 until end of turn. Transform Amazing Horse. ------------------------------------------- Not shown: how the lemonade is made. 3/4
Amazing Horse Airlines  Artifact Creature--Horse Construct
Flying, vigilance, haste
Tap two untapped Human creatures you control: Those creatures each get -1/-1 until end of turn. Transform Amazing Horse Airlines. 5/4

Ability counters are a nice way of doing Splice for creatures - even if I decided to not keyword it this time.

@ Grapple X: LOL, I just realized we both use the same card name and have designed a card granting horsemanship xD I swear, I didn't look at the other entries when I came up with mine - great minds think alike, I guess  |

It happens all the time though, I can't count the number of set previews I've sat through pointing at the screen saying "I made that!" |

{sdfkjgh}First off, I haven't watched psat the first few secondds of that video, so I don't know any flavor this card might have connected to it.
The transforming ability does a very unintuitive thing: You can activate it multiple times holding priority to give the horse more p/t but only one will transform it. (Yea, transform rules are weird.) I don't know if that was intended or if you meant for the ability to be activated only once.
The backside is a strong solid creature... with one weird ability. My first reaction was "Why would you ever do that???" Then I remembered that you can pump it on the other side. If that was the intention, very clever! ... and also confusing.
{Jartis}Congrats on finding that art. I'm amazed.
Getting cards out of exile sounds a bit dangerous. But in this case also like a nice build-around. Blue-black is the right combination for exiling from your graveyard or library.
{sorsal}That is... interesting? In my 18 years I'm playing Magic I've literally never had a game where anyone had a muscle cramp. Of course you could provoke it on purpose, but for getting a 1/3 it doesn't really seem worth the effoord.
{Grapple X}Horsemanship is very close to unblockable with a little bit of flying in it. In a set like portal, where horsemanship is a regular thing, I imagine this is a normal and ok card. Outside of it, in "normal" Magic, this can be pretty strong.
{Daij_Djan}That is a nice way of splicing onto creatures! Even if a horesemanship counter is something that feels very Time Spiral-y. (Legacy Horizons?) Feels good in those colors.
{ameisenmeister}Good card. I like how it gets more and more dangerous the more cards it burns.

Flo00: With a stroke of its mane it turns into a plane: you need someone to stroke your Horse, and to be honest that Horse is a bit of a diva, requiring the undivided attention of the stroker.1 Stroking turns the Horse into a plane, hence the artifact creature. and then he turns back again when you tug on his winkie: Now, I don't know if you know this, but Horse winkies are pretty fucking big2, so I figured you'd need at least two to tug on it.23 Also, I was mostly concerned with dodging anti-flier effects for the winkie-tugging.
Teferi: Oh gods, he's in a mood again. Hey, guy, you been getting enough sleep lately?

3Normally, I'd do something incredibly stupid here just to prove my point, like linking to a bestiality porn website, but right now, I'm still laying low, awaiting the inevitable repercussions from my FMK articles (srsly, any day now, I'm absolutely certain one of the mods is gonna at least upbraid me for all the shit I pulled in that thing). |

Congratz to our winner!
@ Flo00: Glad you like my idea of "creature splicing", will probably use it more in the future. You're right about Horsemanship being kind of a weird choice for a first design  |

Roaming Altisaur  Creature--Dinosaur  Trample
Whenever Roaming Altisaur enters the battlefield or attacks, it explores. (Reveal the top card of your library. Put that card into your hand if it’s a land. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.) 2/1 |
