You all found some great pictures!Idea Great flavor, good stats and costing. Love the flavor text. The wording on her ability is a little strange but gets across what/who she is. As worded she can turn creatures to stone even if she has nothing to do with them. I just wish she needed to be involved with combat to turn stuff. Or something that stops Statues from creaturing more Statues (if they can somehow become tapped.) ameisenmeister Oh a paralysing grasp. I want it to do more, but that feels like the right amount of complexity and effect for a blue common. marshmellow I suppose that's a close to white deathtouch as you can get. I wasn't sure about the enchantment vs artifact, but the more I reread it the more I like it. And the choice not to make it combat damage is bold. =) Very interesting Jartis Classic and powerful. Four mana common might be too much for an artifact. melono I definitely see what my green mana is buying me in this card. gateways7 I love that this becomes more deadly the longer it's on the board. And the 3/4 stats will force it to be dealt with eventually. gluestick248 Oh a red one! I didn't realize there are so many creatures that already do the blocking/blocked burn ability! Two damage seems aggressive but not broken (though you didn't include a rarity). Red forcing a block is new, mostly. ludvikeverviolet Creature exile on enter. That's different but something white seems to be doing more of lately. Plus you still give them a creature. I think instead of flying it would've been better with "can't be blocked by creatures with defender"? {Winner} marshmellow All of the white submissions played around with the "turn to stone" theme and I really like the twist you've added.

oh cool thanks for the win
the next challenge will be to create proper, non-token Citizen cards. the only restriction: your citizen must be a citizen of a specific city or location in the mtg-verse. if it's not noted in the name, flavor text, or, somehow, the rules text, just include it with your entry.

So back in the Eldritch Moon set there was this card that resulted from a merge, called Hanweir, the Writhing Township. While everyone probably died when that town turned into an Eldrazi monstrosity, it's fun to think of "what if they didn't, and there were some, also warped inhabitants left"? That's basically what this guy is. Furthermore, Emrakul in the lore seems to have a bit of an almost motherly side, in a very twisted sense. Like a djin that tries to grant wishes out of kindness but always grants them the way a monkey paw would. In any case, hope you like the card!  |

okay and it's judging time here we go {Jartis}this is a neat guy. at first read through i felt like it would be more elegant and mechanically the same if it were worded as "Whenever one or more creatures you don't control attack, create a Treasure." but after thinking about it, i realized there actually are some mechanical differences. ultimately i like your effect and wording more. anyway, there are two problems i see. first that you need to define your Treasure token like they do on other cards that make treasures. second is that you should probably specify "Any opponent" rather than any player, and indicate that it can only be done once per turn. otherwise, infinite treasures. {viriss}a cute token maker. i've no complaints, and i could absolutely see this being printed in dominaria. it's just a solid design. {Idea}who doesn't love innistrad, really? i imagine the eldrazi horrors that hanweir creates are supposed to be what remains of the inhabitants, so i'd say this guy is solidly canon-compliant. i don't think the x cost in the ability is necessary, just a gain of 2 life would be more straightforward and a better mirror to writhing family's rules. i can't decide whether or not i like the citizen type being on the eldrazi side. cost, flavor, and p/t all look good to me. {4d20}can't go wrong with silver border. the flavor is great, straightforward ability, i can't find any reasons to dislike this guy. And... {Winner}this week's victory goes to viriss with Jartis in second. jartis would've taken the victory today, but that "any player" part sunk it i'm afraid. |

Yeah, that's a fair point. I based my wording on Leonin Arbiter, but didn't consider the infinite loop in team situations. Also, I thought about specifying what the treasure tokens are, but I did some research and the oracle text for Treasures treats all that other information as reminder text, now.
Edit: Actually, do I need to specify "any opponent"? I thought that since it was lumped into to "opponents can't attack" ability that they would be the only ones who could give you treasure, since it's tied to ignoring an ability that only affects opponents? I could just be wrong about that.

you may be right! it's hard to say. regardless of the exact mechanics though, i think clarity is an important aspect of a card. if there are ways to make an effect more clear without causing problems elsewhere, it's a good idea to do that. but he's a neat harbormaster regardless

Card was balanced around Moonlight Geist, trading in Flying for Hexproof and then adding one more toughness as the card requires off-color mana.

He loves a good book. (Found this artwork, and couldn't resist making a card around it because it was so cute.) |

Jartis A 4/4 during combat makes me uncomfortable. =) And the mana ability makes it difficult to choose between attacking and casting. So those two things work against each other. But you did make it rare, so that kinda balances it out. Overall I like the idea of doing the toughness damage as a theme in pangolins. Idea I feel like this is too complicated for a common. Yes the Atog was common but didn't start so big and have an ability. I do like the idea of this thing eating treasure tokens. The picture and flavor text really sell the idea of this thing menacing around causing trouble. Daij_Djan I wasn't sure if Hexproof was as good as flying, but it does push the idea of an armored creature that's nearly untouchable. And the ally color activation works great here. I could see the activation cost being one less since it's an interesting replacement for regeneration. (r.i.p. regen) gateways7 Oh goodness this one is cute. "Hold it still. I'm trying to read." I was going to suggest common, but two triggered abilities it too much for common. Plus it gets +2/+2 when a Saga ends, so that's probably just right for uncommon.

I made this quite some time ago. It's both probably one of the most stupid cards I've made and one of my favourites.  Azazel, Lord of Bleeding Souls  Legendary Creature - Demon  Flying When Azazel, Lord of Bleeding Souls leaves the battlefield, you lose the game. 9/9 |

Demon of the Frozen Circle ::2:::U:: Creature - Demon ::Rare:: ~ enters the battlefield tapped. ~ doesn't untap during its controller's untap step. ::B:::R::, Sacrifice a creature: Untap ~. It gains flying until end of turn. Creatures your opponent's control do not untap during their controller's next untap step. "Treacherous tongues forever frozen, their breathe is the bitter wind of Hades." 7/7 [/img] [/spoiler] |

Taskmaster of Terms   Creature - Demon  Flying, vigilance Creature spells you cast cost  more to cast. "You did read the fine print, didn't you, planeswalker?" 4/5 I see white intersecting with demons in one key place: long, often-convoluted contracts. There are of course, differences; white usually has long convoluted laws with specific details and black has contracts with very large prices, but I can see a white demon as some being that follows the law to the letter to your detriment.

Completely forgot I was responsible for this challenge, sorry. Last call for entries!
EDIT: As I sadly wasn't able to finish a full judging till the new CotW challenge had to be set up - so I'll just declare viriss as the winner! Runner-up goes to (in no particular order) Fleur and Jartis |
