Ah, sorry. I had the feeling I was forgetting something. I'll be judging this Friday. EDIT: Here you go: {sdfkjgh}tl;dr
No, seriously, this costs 5 mana, makes an army of different tokens, adds a bunch of keywords to everything of your side and can repeat itself. I think this is more than a player's brain should be required to track from a single card. I like the idea of a tribal vehicle.
{pixelguard}This is basically a better Seascape Aerialist. Giving it rally is a bit odd, since the rally abilities weren't limited to Allies, but affected all your creatures. {hydraheadhunter}That's an interesting take on Relentless Rats. The coice of counters might be a bit overwhelming. I like how this also fits into a deck distributing +1/+1 (or keyword) counters. I think like the rats, this should be - for complexity reasons and for a balanced ammount of it in draft.

Highland Escort Creature - Troll Guardian As long as you control a Plains, Highland Escort has vigilance. : Highland Escort gains indestructible until end of turn. 3/3 Not sure if the activation shouldn't be . I decided against tapping it, since that would make the vigilance partly useless.

Wouldn't "it has a tap ability" be the point of vigilance?

This almost feels like cheating, but I had to:
The Distant, Floaty Isle Legendary Land--Island (: Add .) The Distant, Floaty Isle enters the battlefield tapped. If you didn’t play it, it enters exerted. As long as The Distant, Floaty Isle is untapped, creatures can’t attack you or permanents you control unless they have flying and vigilance or haste. , : Add or . As an additional cost to activate this ability, exert The Distant, Floaty Isle unless you control a land named Island of Wak-Wak as you activate this ability. (An exerted permanent won’t untap during your next untap step.)
Note that creatures must have BOTH flying and at least one of the other abilities. As to requiring a Listed card in order to get full value, ask me if I care.

Flo00 Love the plains tie in and seeing indestructible regenerate. Perfect uncommon. sdfkjgh Any part of the picture is valid! I even remember looking at those and wondering if anyone would. This one is tough. Pairing with a card that hasn't seen print in 14 years.... and... then I feel into a hole reading through the "ask me if I care" post. lol =) thanks! Winner sdfkjgh (as punishment )

viriss: Thanks for the win. Glad I could be your White Rabbit.
Let's try something a little different this time. I want you all to go check out an amazing artist I met at a Beverly Hills Art Walk. He was one of two artists there I recommended get in touch with WotC for the purposes of illustrating cards. Take a look through his catalogue, then choose an illustration to design a card around. You have two weeks.

I think they are in full resolution when you do this. Yeah, I had a look behind the F12 wall to see what was up with that. All the image thumbnails are the actual image, scaled down, but stored at full res. When you click on any of the art, there's an invisible slideshow that spins up in front of the gallery and displays a full scale ghost* of each image** as a slide in the deck. It's all incredibly over-engineered and extra as fuck.*hence why you can't right-click the image in the slideshow because it's not the real image: the thumbnail is the real image). **all the images other than the currently being viewed image get their opacity set to 0, so you can only see the ghost of the image you selected.
In conclusion, yes Flo00 , you are correct: right-clicking the thumbnails is the way to go.
Anyway, my entry... | Water Dancing Three generic and three blue Instant
Prevent all combat damage this turn. Until end of turn, whenver damage is prevented, that damage's source's controller draws a card, then if you didn't draw a card this way, draw a card.

hydraheadhunter : Just as a clarification, is that one card drawn for each source of damage prevented? No, it's a trigger that happens for each instance of damage prevented, some of which might come from the same source (eg: double strike, multiple combat steps). It's supposed to be a fog that draws everyone involved a lot of cards. Attack with three creatures and get fogged, but hey no problem, you and the person you attacked each get to draw three cards. Alternatively, attack with ten 1/1s and fog yourself to draw ten cards. I should probably throw a "may" or two in there so you can't deck yourself/your opponent by playing this into an abolutely massive 'math is for blockers' board state..., shrugs.

| Final Performance Enchantment — Aura Enchant creature At the beginning of the upkeep of enchanted creature’s controller, that player puts a verse counter on Final Performance, then sacrifices enchanted creature unless they pay for each verse counter on Final Performance. If enchanted creature is a Bard, it doesn’t untap during its controller’s untap step.

Oops, I'm two days late on this. That must mean that there's another contest I have to judge today. Anyway...
Flo00: A nice tweak on Arrest, and one I wouldn't be surprised to see IRL. Excellent work.
viriss: As a multiplayer card, it's fine, I'm just not too sure there's much connection between the flavor and mechanics.
hydraheadhunter: Not quite sure giving Fog effects is healthy for the balance of The Color Pie; mebbe if you'd made it Simic, Azorius, or Bant. Anyway, the art is a little abstract for the mechanics, but that's not any mark against you, considering some of the more abstract instant and sorcery arts out there. It's an interesting idea, trading damage for cards, but again, already has ways of stalling out the game.
MonkeyChewToy: The concept and execution line up beautifully, but I can't help but think that you've just designed a much clunkier Inevitable End.
I've a confession to make: this Challenge's primary purpose was, for me at least, to prove that I was right that Mr. Dellorco's art would feel right at home in Magic. To that end, win or lose, you've all proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was right. However, only Flo00 turned in a design that deserves the win, with MonkeyChewToy a distant second.
Thanks for your participation, and perhaps we can get more Challenges like this, where the artist, not the art, is specified.

So glad I changed my pfp a few weeks ago.
| Electricken A blue and a red Creature - Elemental bird
Flying Whenever you cast a non-creature spell, if Electricken isn't a token, create a token copy of it. 8 generic, a red or a blue, and tap: electricken deals 5 damage to target permanent. This ability costs one less to activate for each other permanent you control named Electricken.
FT: The thunderous bauwking of a storm of chickens in not easily forgotten.
1/1
Art: an altered photograph of a rooster; it looks like the rooster is partially made of and expelling lightning. Art by: Look, I've got no idea how to credit this... This image was on my computer since before I started using MSE. It was created when I took a photo of a rooster and feed it into a then new and free to use AI effect maker, set to "lightning." I was the creative who put the source file into the tool, but I owned neither the source photo nor the tool used to modify it: It's clearly a transformative image; but, I don't think I can in good conscience take credit for its creation without caveat... It's just one of those things that doesn't really have a singular artist behind its creation; created by some idiot using tools provided by people much more accomplished in their creative endevours. |
Waiting on render, I keep my memes like electricken on my desktop.

gamma3 - Then your picture is just the generic "gray person" avatar the forum provides, I'd think. Mine's Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. Crippled Champion Creature - Dragon Warrior Defender, flying ~ enters the battlefield tapped. Whenever ~ untaps, you may have it deal 4 damage to any target. 4/4 "The people roar for the salvation of yesterday. I can only hope the hero of tomorrow will arrive today."

My profile pic shows why you shouldn't give a Rocket Launcher to a Squirrel (this is prolly an Un- card):
Bazooka Squirrel Creature--Squirrel Soldier Bazooka Squirrel enters the battlefield tapped. , : Bazooka Squirrel deals X plus 1 damage however you choose among any number of targets. Put a -1/-1 counter on Bazooka Squirrel. 1/1

pixelguard you still need to write out "The first time you cast or copy a spell each turn..." - ability words have no inherent rules text of their own. And now for my entry: Formless Lurker Creature - Shapeshifter , pay 2 life: Formless Lurker becomes a copy of target permanent until end of turn. It lurks in the shadows, waiting for an idea it can claim as its own, if only for a short while.2/2 Edit: Forgot p/t
