Flavor Text Contest (#1) "When you feel the shaking..." (ENDED)
So I got this awesome idea, and wanted to make a contest on it right away. So this is what it is: I give you a piece of flavor text, and you make a card that has that flavor text on it. So, here's the flavor text for this contest:
"When you feel the shaking, go run, go hide, and when the earth starts quaking, it's your time to bide."
You can interpret this in any way you like, just make a card with that flavor text on it, and make sure it fits flavor-wise. I may be doing more of these if this one is very successful.
Other Rules:
1. You are allowed to change your card any amount before the contest ends
2. You can only use an original card that you made.
3. Max number of entries is three.
4. No joke cards or uncards.
5. Please have correct MTG language, since I get really bothered by incorrect MTG language.
I will be judging you based on:
- Balance
- Creativity
- Templating (including spelling, grammar, punctuation and spacing)
- Art selection (using existing MtG art is strongly discouraged)
- Flavor (Not flavor text, just how well the abilities fit with the art and name)
Rewards:
1st: I will follow you, favorite 5 cards of your choice, and you get to choose an honorable mention.
2nd: I will follow you and favorite 3 cards of your choice.
3rd: I will follow you and favorite 2 card of your choice
Honorable Mention(s): I will favorite 2 cards of your choice
I will be judging on November 9th, 2016. (14 days from when this contest was created)

Elementals, yo.
Something feels wrong with the flavor text. Like I think there's a grammar error.
Maybe it could be "When you feel the shaking, go run, GO hide, and when the earth starts quaking, IT'S your time to bide." I capitalized the changes.
Made it as a bad mono-red burn card. As always, feedback is appreciated. ^ ^

Congrats! I couldn't do any HMs because there weren't that many entries.
