Judging time! Idea Nice mana rock but might even be a little too good, seeing how it generates continious card advantage at least every three turns. Looks very good in a control deck (Which honestly isn't the type of strategy I'd like to see more support for, but that's just my personal opinion). I'm actually not a fan of having an image cropped beyond recognition but seeing a pile of books and then calling it a Fountain of Knowledge is funny in my book (Haha, book. serraphim Well, I like clash and I like adventures and your card has both. However, the effects on your card seem kind of all over the place. The alternate cost reminds one of Force of Will but then just draws a card, effectively giving you card disadvantage. Then the creature part costs and looks kind of unappealing. So I have a chance] to draw a card when I tap my four mana guy?. Also, the scrying of the adventure half doesn't ever help with the clashing of the creature half. All in all, the card's certainly not bad but a bit disjointed. vizionarius The card tells a story like the picture is just made for it. It's not particularly powerful but what it lacks in power it compensates with cuteness and elegance. If you're playing a hand-size matters deck, you're likely to draw multiple cards per turn and have this little guy give you a lot of treasures along the way. Plus, the flavortext is great! Flo00 Simple and elegant, and nevertheless doing something that hasn't been done before. Quite a nice build around that can become a huge pain when combined with Drowned Secrets and some counters. Cool card!
{And the winner is...} Vizionarius! And Flo00 coming in second place. Congrats! Thank you all for participating!

Thanks for the win ameisenmeister! I had the same thought process as you with respect to there being card draw in the deck that this little guy would go into. Next challenge, the following art from Alexandra Semushina:

Entrancing Secretion Enchantment - Aura Enchant creature Whenever a creature blocks or becomes blocked by enchanted creature, tap that creature and it gets -2/-0 until end of turn. Just to be clear, tap & -2/-0 aplies ot the other creature, not to enchanted creature. EDIT: I just realized after half a year that I forgot the artist credit on this.

I'm curious: Does this start in the contraption deck and enters the battlefield upon assembly or is this in your deck and a completely different approach to what contraptions could be?

It's a play off this guy, Steamflogger Boss. You're right it's worded wrong too. I need to stop doing things late at night. I'll fix it, thanks.

{Judging} { Idea}I like that the charge counters act as the battery back! An as the batteries die out, you get mana (as seen in the form of butterflies), and when it's out, he just sits there. I figure the counters are all charge counters (no time counters). The only change I think would be important is to have the charge counter be removed at the beginning of your first main phase, so you can use it to cast things during that phase. (The mana pool empties as phases end, so the mana you get on your upkeep won't be around during your main phase.) { Flo00}Clever use of framing with the birds and the butterflies in the focus! But I feel this one is a bit lacking. The benefit of having a creature become tapped when it's blocked or blocking seems minimal (maybe more useful in multiplayer), but I can see that being just a touch of flavor. It's a cool way to create the -X/-0 effects of blue appear on an enchantment you want to put on your own creature, kind a like a ward effect. { serraphim}I like that you went back to Riggers! Contraptions are already a thing, but other than that, if you make this guy a Construct, the intent can still be seen. I like the idea of making copies, but there doesn't seem to be a benefit of having multiple Riggers getting this ability; since there is no tap in the cost, I can just pump 8 mana into this to create 2 copies, even if I just have 1 Rigger. Lowering the copy's mana cost and adding a tap in there would make the card more interesting, I think. {Winning}This one goes to Idea for an interesting take on Mana Bloom, and for using the art well to convey the card mechanically!

Thanks for the win vizionarius ! To be perfectly honest I had no idea Mana Bloom was thing so it's a real neat coincidence the effect ended up so similar haha Anyways, for our next image, I want to see what people make of this:

vizionarius {Spoiler}It's an interesting theme that you built with the phasing out and I can really see how it fits into the art. Very well designed, interesting use of an unearth effect. serraphim {Spoiler}At first I thought the card might just an undercosted doubling season with the upside of generally making your daybound stuff stronger, but then I read the stuff about the dream card mechanics. It's basically a doubling season until someone casts two spells in a turn, and then you have to get someone to not cast spells to make it function again, which essentially makes it a more unreliable doubling season. I think there's some pretty interesting dynamics there, but a pretty powerful effect if you can maneuver it well. Flo00 {Spoiler}The card feels simple and well-designed, but it's not particularly interesting. I'm curious as to why you made the card a class, but I'm gonna throw in a guess that it's probably because the art is more vertical. Winner

Manzanedo from where? Forgive my presumption but given it's just one word I can't help but think that's a username or alias as opposed to a person's actual name.

It's his DeviantArt user name - real name is Antonio José Manzanedo. He's actually done some Magic artwork as well.

Like Flo00, I got a D&D vibe from the pic, so I went with a D&D mechanic, namely Party, though with a bit of a twisty execution: Desecrated Guardian Creature -- Giant Zombie Desecrated Guardian has lifelink as long as an opponent controls a Cleric. Desecrated Guardian has deathtouch as long as an opponent controls a Rogue. Desecrated Guardian has +2/+2 as long as an opponent controls a Warrior. Desecrated Guardian has “Ward—Pay 3 life” as long as an opponent controls a Wizard. 2/2

I'm going to look for and find a picture tomorrow (Tuesday) after work so we can begin the next challenge very soon. ETA: Plans had to be shuffled. I'll post the picture tomorrow when I have a minute - Wednesdays are usually quiet.
