 She found it at a ruined plane where eldrazi devoured. She was suffering since there was full of twisted and disgusting trees and she couldn't find one she wanted to fuse with. It was tiny but a pure thing, so she chose it as her partner. The album is Nova Musicha n.1. and includes 4'33''. |

Oh hey, I totally forgot I was supposed to be judging this. Seems like a bunch of people aren't able to be tagged so sorry about that. Idea: Legendary Gathering - powerful ability balanced by the double X cost, I like it! Pernicious: Puppy - cool use of energy, not sure what to add to this honestly. Visionarious: The Lost Colony - Very fun card. If anything, this feels like it would be a legendary artifact. Twintania: Wrenn's Four Hundred Thirty Three - The idea of Wrenn fusing with a tiny fungus is so cute, very good flavor. Also the only album cover I actually recognize out of these XD ameisenmeister: Cataclysmic Confrontation - Love the relation between the ability and the art, well balanced too. These were all very good but I think the winner will be Visionarious, with ameisenmeister as runner up. |

Thanks for the win, emberfire17! (Some people have display names that are different than their original profile names. You can see the @ names when you click or hover over their names). Making it legendary is indeed a great idea! Should have done that! ------- There is a gallery of Vladimir Kush not too far from me that I go to once every year or so, since they rotate his works between a few locations, and he makes new works. They each tell a story, so it's a fun spot to take friends and discuss. Take an image from his website's originals (any of oils, ink, or watercolor; you might have to screenshot them to download), and make a card out of it. |

Feedback: Idea : Good effect concept to the art! It feels powerful, but in very specific circumstances, so the cost might actually be a little too high at 5, but probably not too much so. It has the interesting effect that if the permanents that had the Auras attached to them leave the battlefield before the end of the turn, the Auras would remain where they are (on your stuff). Because of this effect, I almost would want the effect to be "target player gains control of all enchantments controlled by another target player" so that you could donate your stuff as well and have a player "get stuck with" stuff that might be to their detriment. Kind of like what the art alludes to. Flo00 : Great name and flavor text! Also, a fitting ability to the art. It all works really well together. I'm a fan of these types of effects! It's a soft shut-off on spell-caster decks, but not too annoying otherwise. Bouncearama : I like it! The wings being nets in the image works really well with milling and pulling things out of the grave.  fits for the mill and recover effect, and at 7-cmc it's costly, but you do get a lot of value from it. Nice design! viriss : That art looks like it was commissioned for your card! And it looks great in borderless. It's a very interesting effect that feels quite unique. I like the name too. Feels appropriately costed and makes for a neat end-of-turn-before-my-turn prepping effect. Sanfonier of the Night : Fitting effect to the art! The name and effect doesn't seem too Legendary for me, but WotC has also been doing a lot of these types of Legendaries lately, where it's a cool ability and they just slap on Legendary to make it useable as a Commander (this is not a hate on your card; I'm just annoyed at WotC, lol). I think this ability is too powerful. You can have a ton of unique creature types in your deck and draw a bunch of cards with just a single  . I get the intent of a collector, but I think there should be some further limit or cost to how much you are able to draw with it. At worst, it's a : Draw a card. And I would guess that it will likely be 2-3 cards fairly often. Maybe something like " : Draw a card and reveal it. If it's a creature card with a type you don't control, you may pay  to copy this ability." Winner: viriss with a card that feels really appropriate for the art used. Runner ups are Bouncearama and Flo00 with a couple of cool designs without tuning required. |

This is a perfect fit for the current land designs challenge, so I'll make a two-for-one here.  Coastal Fortress Land  : Add  .  , : Target creature gets +0/+X until end of turn, where X is its toughness. , : Target creature gets -X/-0 until end of turn, where X is its power. EDIT: I hope this isn't cheating; I updated the card after I got feedback in the land designs challenge. |

Prayers Unanswered
3 generic and 2 black
Sorcery
Search each player's library for two cards with different names. Then starting with you each player chooses one of those cards to exile then shuffles each card they own not choosen this way into their library.
You may play the exiled cards for as long as they remain exiled and spend mana as though it were any type to cast them. |
Rulings 1. Each player's library is a seporate search. You choose the order they happen in.
2. An opponent's [ Opposition Agent] would control you as you search your library and would exile both cards they find; but, they would not control you as you search your opponents' libraries. |

 Note: It indeed has no casting cost. Note 2: I couldn't find a way to add a color indicator on this frame, and I really wanted to use this frame. So I made the border black; the intent is that this is black. |

 Eternal Devotion   Sorcery Exile target creature card from a graveyard. Create a token that’s a copy of it, except it’s a 4/4 black Zombie in addition to its other types. I'm surprised they didn't do something like this in Hour of Devastation. They made a supercharged version of it and they made Assemble from Parts in arena. |

I was hoping for some non-black entries, doesn't seem like we'll have them. So I'll get to judging this for now. ameisenmeister {Spoiler}This one seems pretty excellent all around, well costed the name and art both feel represented in the effect (confessing --> revealing, profane ---> debuff) and even the flavor text hits home. No complaints here. pernicious {Spoiler}I guess in a sorcery the cost doesn't seem too out there to see happen, though plain exiling in black doesn't seem very fitting. I like the clever flavor text though! melono {Spoiler}The effect, cost and stats all seem neat, but calling those tokens "Eye Tokens" and making them a specific token type like blood, clue, food or treasure tokens I feel is a poor decision. Eyes do fit the theme of scry 1, but I feel they are harder to universalize than other types of tokens that currently exist. Treasures are of course the golden goose in this context, but even something more setting-specific like blood tokens is still more ever-present and I feel could have a wider range of flavors than eye tokens, so tying scrying to those tokens I think would be detrimental to design as a whole. hydraheadhunter {Spoiler}This is an interesting card, but searching your opponent's deck is probably not something you should normally do. Opposition Agent currently stands as the sole card capable of this that I'm aware of and it pretty much relies on opponents triggering the search on their own, though even then I feel this card really pushes into some unwanted territory. Getting to see your opponent's whole deck is a big deal after all. That matter aside, this card doesn't really steal card advantage from an opponent, but it can steal their best cards or potentially combo pieces, while adding to your own card advantage. Five mana seems pretty appropriate for an effect of that kind, though again I do feel the looking at an opponent's library part isn't being duly evaluated here. vizionarius {Spoiler}Having no mana cost is an interesting design aspect that I had to look up to make sure was actually a thing. It took some tricks, but I eventually managed to find some to confirm it. So it's really cool how this card needs to be cast from the graveyard (truly cryptborn) and it makes the rarity make a lot of sense. Power-wise it's a bit hard for me to judge. It definitely seems really strong if not too strong for 4 mana, but then since you can only cast it from the graveyard you need to get it there without casting. there's plenty of ways, but it does mean you need some extra steps, not to mention sacrificing a creature. I think overall the card is good, but it's really tough to say or have any certainty about it here. Flo00 {Spoiler}Maybe they sought the effect didn't look well on its own? Who knows. Seeing as you're exiling the card, and considering things like Rise from the Grave and Unbreakable Bond exist I think you could probably put this card 1 mana lower, maybe shifting one of the other uncolored mana to black, thus making the new cost. It's not bad this way though, just maybe a tad little bit overcosted considering you get to choose what creature to copy, so in many cases 4/4 will be lowering the stats. Winner |

Five mana seems pretty appropriate for an effect of that kind, though again I do feel the looking at an opponent's library part isn't being duly evaluated here. I run Praetor's Grasp in almost every black deck as a staple and Sadistic Sacriment goes in my mill/control hybrids.
Beyond those:
Acquire, Bribery, Eternal Domination, Extract, Inevitable Betrayal, Knowledge Exploitation, Counterbore, and Mimeofacture, Quash, Denying Wind, Invasive Surgery, are mono blue. Sphinx Ambassador and Thada Adel does it repeatedly on combat damage
Grinning Totem, Jester's Cap, and The Stone Brain, are colorless artifacts. Seek of Hide // Seek is orhzov.
Deicide and Scour is white. Slaughter Games and Thought Hemorrhageis Rakdos Splinter is Green.
Bitter Ordeal, Dispossess, Earwig Squad, Stain the mind, sergical extraction, infinite obliteration, Life's Finale, Lost Legacy, Memoricide, Necromentia, Neverending Torment, Nightmare IncursionHaunting Echos, Head Games, Pick the Brain, Eradicate, Extirpate, Cranial Extraction are black
Reap Intellect, Kotose the Silent Spider, Lobotomy, and Unmoored Ego are dimir. Crumble to Dust and Sowing Salt is red.
Searching your oppenents library is absolutely an established mechanic in the game, altho many of these rely on naming a card before you search or specifying what card you're looking to remove, a lot of them also just let you search first then pick.
This is basically a praetor's grasp that for two more mana lets you hit three more libraries (in 4 pod commander) but you don't get secrecy nor perfect decision making power, and it's pretty fairly costed I think, worst case scenario, I'm off by one and it should be a six drop instead of a five drop.
