Alrite, judging time!
viriss: A simple but pretty card. I could see it becoming an interesting alternative for unsummon. Good choice for making it an instant.
ameisenmeister: That's a super rad sphinx! I love its pay-or-else effect. Good balancing too.
Flo00 : Interesting delve card, it really feels like a proper Sultai card from Tarkir. Boogymanjunior: I like your idea of a mini-delayed-wheel of fortune, I'd only raise its cost by 1. The winner is ameisenmeister! |

I've just had a few busy weeks recently, that's all. So thanks for the heads-up; and inspired by the name claimed by Tesagk above and me having just designed a Chandra planeswalker for a different challenge recently, here's my take on a Planeswalker Deck design:

Familiar Findings  Sorcery Draw two cards, then discard a card unless you control a nonbasic permanent with the same name as a card in your graveyard. As soon as she realized it, fear gave way to a rush of hope: the door in her master's forbidden basement bore the same symbol she'd found in her father's notes.

Instant -  Exile target creature or creature card in a graveyard. Create a token that's a copy of it.
The younger faces always feel better to wear.

Familiar Sight  Sorcery Search your library for a land card with the same name as target land and put it onto the battlefield tapped. Then shuffle your library. |

Tesagk No holidays here, was just too busy.^^ But from next week on, I do have holidays so there will actually be more time to indulge in the Forum.  Anyway, here's my entry. Wording seems a bit odd, but I don't think there is a far more elegant option for this. Maybe I should have avoided the "that doesn't share a name" part, but it was just too tempting to push the flavor.

Iiiiit's judging time!
{Tesagk}
Signature is a pretty nice ability. It might be too planeswalkeresque to some people but I personally don't mind. Removing one loyalty and a card seems like a fair price too and the card's flavor and abilties are a great fit. I don't necessarily see Signature as a set's mechanic but more as a planeswalker deck or commander product thing but again, no problem with that.
{Daij_Djan}
Simple and elegant. I don't really see the haste being meaningful if you already have a Chandra out but it's fine. The damage can't be prevented is a fine, yet a bit narrow, support for your Chandras.
{fluffydeathbringer}
Interesting! I feels strange that you still have to discard if you control two nonbasic permanents with the same name, but the fact that your card works so well in multiples is a cool gimmick. (Also: nice flavor text!)
{lizstar}
Very powerful removal and an instant two-for-one. This will turn the tables in limited games every time it hits the field. It might be even too powerful for what it costs but those are details. The card rocks!
{viriss} Wow, this looks super annoying and would probably find a way into my Alesha commander deck. I'm personally not much of a fan of the art style you chose but I won't hold that against you. Your card is cool, probably looks appealing to newer and experienced players alike and has nice flavor.
{Flo00}
Nice card. There's a small corner of my mind that says that this card is busted but all in all I think it's fair and requires a dedicated (and interesting) build to reach its highest potential. Really like this card!
{melono}
Myrs are great, no doubt about that. I also like that the flavor text really tells a story about it. First strike at common is traditionally a bit dangerous and granting it to any creature at instant speed with no real activation cost could be too complex for common level. That's not a knock down issue though, the card is cool.
{Boogymanjunior} Technically, you can never cast your card because, for instance, if you control no creatures and then you cast an Eager Cadet, the creature spell you did cast this turn has the same name as the creature you control: Eager Cadet. I appreciate the idea behind the rules issue and the extremely wonky wording. I'd argue that your card could even just cost  but maybe that could result in busted turn two plays...
{And the winner is...}
not easily chosen this time around... Really, really interesting and flavorful designs all the way through. I feel a bit sorry for all the other competitors but I announce Tesagk as the winner!
We two disagree more often than not about things but your card is arguably flavorful and even introduces a cool mechanic that already gets my gears turning.
Runner-ups (or runners-up?) are basically all the others but if I had to pick favorites I'd say lizstar and Flo00 but only by a tiny margin.
Thanks you all for participating! |

I feels strange that you still have to discard if you control two nonbasic permanents with the same name no? if you control two or more nonbasics with the required name, you still control a nonbasic with the required name. it's the same reason why Chart a Course doesn't need to say "if you attacked with one or more creatures" because you still attacked with a creature even if you attacked with two or more ones |

I just meant that you need a card in your graveyard with the same name and two cards on the battlefield don't count. I got your card right but maybe expressed myself unclearly. |

Your next name is... First
If this gets enough entries (let's say... 4+) before 12/22 then I'll judge it on either 12/22 or 12/23. Otherwise it will remain open until after the holidays (1/3-ish)

To add more entries, here's the first stupid thing that popped in my head
Enchantment - Aura Enchant Creature Enchanted creature is legendary. At the beginning of your upkeep, creature a token that's a copy of enchanted creature, except the token isn't legendary. The Legend rule is ignored for tokens.

I had an idea for a card, then I reallized I could tweak it a little to also fit the current Card of the Week:  First Come  Instant Target creature gains firstest strike until end of turn. (It deals combat damage to creatures before creatures with first strike.)-------- First Served Sorcery Until the end of your next turn, target player becomes a Flagbearer and while choosing targets as part of casting a spell or activating an ability, your opponents must choose at least one Flagbearer if able. |

First Offed  Instant If this spell is the first spell you've cast this game, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. Destroy target creature or planeswalker.

I'll share the judging later. But I wanted to announce the winner, ameisenmeister viriss {Judgment}First // Foremost, I really like the flavor of this card. It's fairly strong, but definitely not overpowered, and the way the two effects "fuse" together makes a lot of sense.
ameisenmeister {Judgment}
First Blood, Obviously, as the winner, I quite enjoyed this card. A deck making use of removal isn't likely to have no creature cards in either graveyard later in the game, so it seems like it's fairly balanced.
Flo00 {Judgment}
First Come // First Served, while firstest strike is interesting, the Flagbearer mechanic seems to be the real meat of this card. I'm not sure about its balance, but it's an interesting effect.
melono {Judgment}
First Offed, being very similar to the winning card, this one was on my mind too. I think it's balanced because, just like First Blood, it seems unlikely you'd be holding onto such a card in a deck that would play it, indefinitely. Still, a free removal spell that can also hit Planeswalkers seems a bit pushed to me. Nevertheless, this card is the runner-up.
thaneofglamis {Judgment}First Summer Rain, this card is fine and is likely balanced, though I'm not sure untapping all your creatures fits with the name's flavor. That being said, while putting a +1/+1 counter on a single creature does fit the "first" in the name, and hints at growth, I really had trouble reconciling the entire card to fit the flavor set out for it.
Daij_Djan {Judgment}
First!!!, it's a perfect silver-bordered card. Given my feelings on them, you did still elicit a chuckle 😉
DoctorStrangelove {Judgment}Myr Firstborn, I oddly like this card a fair bit. However, even starting off with 0/0, it does still seem a bit strong to have a card like this in your deck with no limit to the number of copies, especially since Myr tribal isn't necessarily weak.
Boogymanjunior {Judgment}Selfish Firstborn, this card is easily the second runner-up. One could easily argue for it being first runner-up, but I think the downside is a bit strong all things considered. Limiting it to the next one or two creatures would still be a hefty downside and would fit the flavor a bit better, no? Either way, I did like it. It's fun to play around with drawbacks.
lizstar{Judgment}
First of His Name, to start with, I love the name of this card. However, the execution of it feels a bit muddled to me. Why mention that the legend rule doesn't apply to tokens if the tokens created by the enchantment aren't legendary? Beyond that, the cost for the card is high when you consider that similar effects can be gained for much cheaper. This card had a lot of potential and I like where it was going, but, to my eyes, it didn't quite get there. 😕

Thanks for the win! Your next card's name will include hero, heroine, heroic or something similar. Don't feel obliged to giving your card Theros flavor. 😉
