Does it do the effect separate for power and toughness or does it look at both together? In other words: Can this kill my opponent's board if they control a 0/4? |

I wasn't sure how to best word it but they are separate. For example if the target player had a 0/4 and a 2/1 creature, all their creatures would become 0/1. |

You can word it something like this: "Until end of turn, each creature target opponent controls has base power equal to the lowest power among creatures they control and base toughness equal to the lowest toughness among creatures they control." I don't think there is a shorter way to say this, but I wish to be wrong. This is equal length, but uses X/Y which may not be better: "Until end of turn, each creature target opponent controls has base power and toughness X/Y where X is the lowest power among creatures they control and Y is the lowest toughness among creatures they control." |

Thank you for the win, Flo00. Excuse me for the wait.
The next challenge is: Design a card that includes in its name the name of a planet of the Solar System. (You may treat Pluto as a planet for this challenge.)
Idea Words based on the name are fine as well. |

Does it have to be the exact name or can it be words based on the name, like Earthen or Martian? |

 Birth of Venus  Sorcery  You may cast Birth of Venus as though it had flash if a God creature has been dealt damage this turn. Search your library for a God creature card, reveal it and put it into your hand, then shuffle. If you didn’t cast this spell during your main phase, you may put the card onto the battlefield instead, then shuffle. As background info: Venus came to be by Kronos throwing Uranos's severed private parts into the ocean. |

Idea - Interesting card, I'd only raise the enchantment's cost to   . I think the enchantment's wording should be "Prevent all damage that would be dealt to creatures with power 1 or less by creature sources"; and maybe the instant's wording should be "When an opponent gains control of that creature this turn..." or simply "At the beginning of the next end step, that creature deals...". I like how venusian love represents well a love story that ends with a bad breakup. I also like the wordplay on "platonic love", though I do find it a bit off-flavor.
Flo00 - Very nice, I like a lot the way you represented that myth. I'd only raise its cost by .
moweda - That's a strong 1-drop, I'd raise its rarity to uncommon. I think that Spirit would have been a more appropriate type than Specter. So saturnine means "Gloomy or sullen in disposition.", I didn't know.
vizionarius - It's an interesting card for sure, but I think that this kind of mana ramping is a bit too powerful, especially for blue. I'd definitely raise its activation cost from exile by at least or . I'd prefer the option, since I'd see it as a way to represent the Sea God's rising.
ZephyrPhantom - An overall good design. Did you mean "Add for each basic land you sacrificed this turn." instead?
melono - Now that's a cool kill spell. Good flavor text.
The winner is melono! With Flo00 and zephyrphantom as runnerups.

Lake of Fire  Enchantment Whenever a creature dealt damage by a source you control this turn dies, exile it with a soul counter on it. Creature cards with soul counters on them have evoke with evoke cost equal to their mana cost. You may cast creature cards in exile with soul counters on them for their evoke cost and you may spend red mana as though it were mana of any color to cast them.

Idea From what I've read, platonic love is only directed towards friends or acquaintances, it's different than parental love.

Idea From what I've read, platonic love is only directed towards friends, it's different than parental love. Ah I see. Two things about that: -Platonic love is often used as love towards friends, but that's more the archetypical example than the definition of it. Platonic love is more accurately described as love without the desire for another's body, appreciation and care without desire. -There's also a bit of wordplay of plutonic meaning something like 'small' or 'pertaining to small' or something to that effect. Now that I tried to search the word that kind of meaning isn't showing up though, so maybe I was mistaken there... But yeah those two factors are why I designed the card the way I did on that face. |

What to make of this Lake? Judging commence! {Spoiler}{Spoiler} Idea - What’s under the lake?: A pretty neat card that would work well in a deck that isn’t already doing graveyard shenanigans, as you dead creatures get exiled. Got a nice horror flavour with your lake becoming stronger by you dumping your creatures in it, and your opponent’s creatures dying due to the lake becoming exiled because of lake damage. You don’t have to exile attached to something though, just exiling with a source is enough wording for what you want. vizionarius - Lake of Fire: Quite the opposite of wet, but totes allowed for the challenge. You seem to have put a double effect down with the last two lines of the card. Doesn’t make it any easier to understand. The evoke effect for exiled cards itself is cool though. Feels a bit white, but red should also be okay. moweda - Saltwater Lake: very iffy to put a two mana tap-ability on a land, but looking at Ancient Tomb, it might be alright. I would remove the add one colorless ability to force people into taking damage, though. {Spoiler}{Spoiler} So, winner, is, Idea with a consuming horror lake. |

Yeah... I'm not sure my wording even makes sense in terms of the rules. Probably would have been easier to just have: "Whenever a creature dealt damage by a source you control this turn dies, exile it with a soul counter on it. You may cast exiled creature cards with soul counters on them and you may spend as though it were mana of any color to cast them. They're sacrificed when they enter the battlefield." |

Thank you for the win melono ! I'm glad that card's whole vibe really got through. Now, for the next challenge, use the name of a location of your choice from Magic's lore in your card name! |

Ah crap it’s been a really long time that I missed this one. Since it has been buried for so long, I’ll reduce the typical time I leave for last minute entries to until later today.
