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 eightieth challenge!
The winner of the "Go Big or Go Home" poll were kinotherapy (top left), mrlozano (top right), shiftyhomunculus (bottom left) and Syliris (bottom right) with... And the challenge issued by one of our winners was... I finished a set last weekend! Well, the beta version, anyway. One of my aims for this set was a format in which you were encouraged to play 3+-color decks in Limited without a higher-than usual density of actual gold cards. In this vein, your challenge is to design a nonland card that is, at most, one color, but rewards playing multiple colors. This could mean anything from Flinthoof Boar to Quirion Dryad to Battle Brawler, or other, more creative solutions.
Additionally, please try to keep your entry edits all in one post - if you need to change it you can put your old entry in a spoiler marked "Old entry" and leave the newest rendition to be seen. Just use the edit button in the top/right of your original post.And now, time to begin the challenge! Best of luck, competitors!

Because each part of this card works in three different colors, (flying = esper, haste = jund, uncounterability = temur (yes I know red only gets it on spells, it's a stretch), and you have to pay 3 mana to cast the spell, you have to have at least one of each color in which these mechanics is in-color for. |

might change this up, but here's my current entry:  Brash Huma-Bird   Creature- Phoenix  Flying, haste : ~ gets +1/+0 until end of turn for each color of mana spent to activate this ability. Whenever you cast a spell that’s two or more colors, you may return ~ from your graveyard to your hand. 2/2 e: changed ability restriction to multicolor bonus |

So my entry might look like it's sort of copying gatewayses' entry concept, but that's only because it's a great idea that I've tried and failed to do well in the past. What I'm really ripping off of is Collapsing Borders Rallying Roc   Creature — Bird  Flying When Rallying Roc enters the battlefield, it deals X damage to target player, where X is the number of colors of mana spent to cast it. Then that player gains 3 life. No matter how far he ran, the Mardu bells still rang in his ears, calling for war.3/4 |

Oh man, this was a good challenge that was issued, really made me scratch my brain on what to come up with. So, I decided a mono green enchantment that likes it when you cast green elves to gather more buddies, but then when you cast nongreen elves you get an extra effect. This doesn't quite encourage the use of multiple types of mana, but it does encourage the use of Elves that are multicolored. I've been on a bit of a tribal high lately, and with that I present to you the Entrance to the Njarnen Forest!

Syliris: Your card currently goes infinite with itself - might want to specify nontoken Elves.

Unless you use colorless mana. Possibly three colorless mana. |

Sphinx Reformist  Artifact Creature — Sphinx Flying If   was spent to cast ~, it enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it and with lifelink and trample. While some of Esper's sphinxes shunned the influx of red and green mana into their plane, others embraced it and, in turn, found great power.4/4 Using a non-keyworded mechanic I did for a BB character of mine from a ways back.

As I already used a more direct approach that would fit this challenge as well in the past, I decided to go for something more subtle today:

Go big or go home, right?
Presence of the Nephilim  Legendary Tribal Enchantment--Nephilim  Domain—This spell costs  less to cast for each basic land type among lands you control.
This spell can’t be countered.
Indestructible
Each creature you control enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it for each different color of mana spent to cast it.
Each creature you control gets +1/+1 for each of its colors.
Domain—Each creature you control gets +1/+1 for each basic land type among lands you control. |

Syliris : Your card currently goes infinite with itself - might want to specify nontoken Elves. Oh wow, you're absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll get right on that |

Changed my entry. Rainbow jelly dragon was a cool guy, but I like this new card a little better. (See above.)

 There's probably plenty of people posting more dynamic, advanced renders. I haven't played the game or used MSE in a while so I'm starting with something more simple. I'm not expecting votes, just trying to participate. |
