@Banelich
Sorry for confusing you. Thanks for making that card for this contest:)
@Faiths_Guide
I'm not good at grammar, so I really don't know. Two cards with avenge ability were featured before, but nobody told me about the wording mistake..
@Faiths_Guide
Both of your 2nd entry's links go to the same side. can you fix it?
@Mysterious_Gangsta
Do you mean creating your own version of Berserk? Sorry, making new custom ability isn't a concept of this challenge. You can't submit it. But if you got an idea in your head, you should definitely make a card!
XD
Plz don't judge me on the text, i had no control over that.
And this is my planeswalker, Grovia:

(The planswalker is not entered into the contest, it's just so you know who's the beast is)
Actually, you do have control over it. You can highlight the reminder text and then click on the Italics button to italicize it. And if you have words bleeding out of the text box, just start that word on a new line.
You can do it like this:

^This'll be deleted after you see this.
Also you didn't italicize this card neither. Btw I and Cryptonight commented about that card. Please check out if you want to remake it

For Avenge

I had to change the wording a bit so it isn't an op mechanic which would enable having more lands on turn one ("put from hand" as opposed to "play").
No problem! As long as concept is same, you can change something if you think it's better as a keyword mechanic.
Fixed my links. Thanks
I think it should say "in" as it clarifies what we're looking for. As it reads currently it just sounds very poorly abbreviated from
"As long as the number of creature cards in your graveyard is higher than the number of creature cards in an opponent's, this creature gets +N/+N."
It can be very easily misinterpreted. Right now it could mean that the number of creature cards in your graveyard must be larger in number than the total number of cards in an opponents graveyard or something even more different.
The best concise wording I can think of would be like this:
"As long as there are more creature cards in your graveyard than in an opponent's, this creature gets +N,+N."
A little shorter and much clearer IMO.
