Thanks for the win! Your next picture is made by Michael MacRae and has some fruitful - yet horrible - details going on: Here's the source. Have fun! |

 Collector of Sorrows   Creature - Avatar  Whenever a player discards a card, you may put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. When Collector of Sorrows dies, create a 1/1 colorless Spirit careature token for each -1/-1 counter on a creature. 3/3 |

The image this time is really good. So good in fact, that I wasn't at all sure where to start... Well, hopefully this turned out well.  |

I'm a little confused by its tap ability. Can you clarify? Yeah, I noticed it was missing a "with" in the text (and also power/toughness and I forgot to adjust the cost, so I updated the card now and reworded the tap ability a bit), but yes do allow me to clarify: The effect of the card is: A) It targets a creature whose base toughness is less than or equal to the total of amount of damage it took this turn + the number of -1/-1 counters on it (so a creature that would have died if it didn't have any buffs to its toughness and no abilities like indestructible) B) The creature loses all abilities. C) The creature is then destroyed. So for a couple of examples: Let's say a Brash Taunter is blocked by a Llanowar Elves. Brash Taunter took 1 damage, and has base toughness 1 but wouldn't die because it has indestructible. The court's tap ability can now target and kill it. Now let's say a Dauntless Escort is enchanted by an Abzan Runemark and blocked by an Inescapable Brute. While enchanted the Escort's toughness is 5, its base toughness is 3. So it has 3 toughness and 3 -1/-1 counters on it. It can be targeted by the court's ability and destroyed. Lastly, let's use a Darksteel Sentinel blocked by two Cinderbones and one Llanowar Elves. The Sentinel now has taken 1 damage and has 2 -1/-1 counters on it. 2 + 1 = 3, which is its base toughness, so it can be targeted by the court's tap ability to lose all abilities and be destroyed. |

It's judging time! emberfire17 Nice card. Kind of depends on your opponent running a fair number of creatures but in a perfect world, games of magic would most of the time be around creature combat. Flo00 Typos aside, I like this card. I'm just wondering whether you count the number of -1/-1 counters on a (as in one) creature or on all creatures on the battlefield. The second would probably be more appropriate considering the card costs five mana to play and than still some work around. But as I'll just assume that you meant it this way, I give the card a thumbs up. vizionarius I'm not sure why you note the card and not just use a wording like Equipped creature has ward X where X is the exiled creature card's power. If you wanted to use the total power of cards named Deathmask Hairpin, you'd want to look at the wording of Paliano Vanguard and the likes. But even if it worked the way you (probably) intended, it would still always be a much worse Swiftfoot Boots. A ridiculous card, to be fair, but one that basically defines the standard for protection equipment. Idea Well, the card certainly is a lot ot unpack. The first ability is probably very good against undying, persist and escape, but is extremely situational considering that the creature specifically needs to return on its own. The activated ability however is so convoluted and narrow that it took me multiple readings and your explanation to figure out what's going on. So basically it's a really, really, really weird way of killing boosted and/or indestructible creatures. Couldn't it just have been „  : Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the amount of damage dealt to it this turn.“? Would be more powerful, indeed, but would make it far easier. pernicious Oh hey, it's Corpse Augur, but a bit more expensive and reliable. I like the card for its simplicity and flavor. Good one! {And the winner is...}
pernicious! For an elegant and flavorful card.
Next in line is emberfire17. Thanks everyone for participating! |

But even if it worked the way you (probably) intended, it would still always be a much worse Swiftfoot Boots. A ridiculous card, to be fair, but one that basically defines the standard for protection equipment. The reason for the note wording is that Processors (and a few other cards like them) exist. If the exiled card were to leave from exile, the equipped creature would have no ward at all. Also, the total power of creature cards was intended to remove ambiguity from having MOM (or the like) in play when Deathmask Hairpin ETB; it wasn't intended to count all cards exiled by cards named Deathmask Hairpin (was intended to count only cards from the card itself [~]). Fair point about Swiftfoot Boots; but I don't think that card would be printed nowadays, though I guess it could have received at least one other keyword or ability in addition. |

Idea Couldn't it just have been „ " style="max-width:100%;"]: Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the amount of damage dealt to it this turn.“? Would be more powerful, indeed, but would make it far easier. No because I didn't want that to be the whole interaction. The removing of all abilities is one, as is the fact that it removes counters (thus letting it kill undying/persist creatures in a way as to return them to you). |

vizionarius - I really like how you conveyed your design's flavor through the Add  ability. Good flavor text as well. ameisenmeister - That's a very good addition to the innistradian mythic trees. Well done. Flo00 - An interesting therosian design. I'd only raise its rarity to rare and add some flavor text. And the verdict is {here.}  |

Wow, so many good pictures. I just made 14 cards scrolling through their gallery. And now I have to choose only one of them. Oh well, here we go:  Lawtwister  Creature - Nightmare Wizard  Change the text of each other spell, permanent and card not on the battlefield by exchanging each instance of “draw” with “discard” and vice versa. “The game is a discard.”2/2 If not for the double meaning of the word "draw", I would have made this black-border. Actually if you are nice, you just treat it as if I worked in some clause that excludes "the game is a draw". |

Out of curiosity what’s the point in tapping creatures that crewed a vehicle? They have to tap to crew. |

FeedbackIdea: That flavor text is amazing! Awesome card name too, and fits the art really well. The wording could use a bit of cleanup but the effect is clear, and also very flavorful. "Whenever a creature deals damage to a creature with lesser power, put a -1/-1 counter on the first creature." Nice design for the art! Flo00: Haha, I love this! Maybe you can solve the issue with something like: "Change the text of each spell, other permanent, and card not on the battlefield by exchanging each instance of the action word 'draw' with 'discard.' (Games can still end in a draw.)" But that flavor text is too good to lose! It seems very strong! Maybe would add  or  to its cost. But a very neat effect to the art! (I'm also inspired by this artist, lots of awesome stuff!) pernicious: That's some chilling flavor text right there! Awesome design for the art. Very flavorful card, and I really like the nod to the crew being stuck too. melono: Allowing growth and flames to co-exist, great design! The enchantment type fits, especially with the specs in the art (even if they aren't stars, but ambers). Feels appropriately costed. I can see this in many commander decks, even ones without land creatures. A few-word flavor text would really add to this, to get a bit of mystery to this elemental.
ResultHonestly, this one is a truly amazing batch of cards and as you all were posting them, I was not looking forward to having to choose a winner here... they each tell a story, have unique and interesting effects, and fit the arts chosen really well. In my mind, this is a tie... so for the first time I had to use a random number generator [1,4] to decide the winner... and the winner is 1: Idea!

Thank you for the win RNG gods vizionarius ! For the next challenge, make a card out of your current profile picture. If you don't have a profile picture, type your username on google and use the first image that pops up that is viable to use (or you can find a profile picture to use of course). |

So, my PFP is actually an image of an OC of mine that I commissioned years ago. Said character, one Aster Lansky, is a steampunk inventor with a clockwork heart, who became a criminal for conducting dangerous and illegal research. One of his hallmarks is solving problems with explosives, and being something of a reckless daredevil despite his seemingly mild-mannered appearance. So, I tried to represent him as a card.
