The uncertainty of it all! challenge - Round 2 (Running)

Hello fellow cardsmiths, I was feeling really excited as yesterday was my birthday. In addition, people liked my asymmetric challenge idea. So I felt motivated to share the love and start a second round of this challenge.

One thing though! This challenge will be a revamped version of the last one, in that some rules will be revised to make it more flexible and allow for more choice in your challenges.

Instructions: "This is sort of like a mystery challenge with asymmetric judging."
1) Request a challenge.
2) I'll give two challenges that best remind myself of you.
3) You'll post a card for one or both, if still interested.
4) I'll judge the card on its own challenge.
5) At the end of the challenge, I'll award the cardsmith who made the best fitting card with the main prizes.

When requesting a challenge feel free to express yourself a bit, without sharing personal information. That way I can better suit the challenge to you!

Due Date:
The due date for this contest is the 14th of May. Late entries will be accepted as long as we haven't finished judging. If you want a time extension, just post a message in the contest with how long you need that @s myself, @murkletins.

Prizes For Entering:
- If you entered a card, you'll receive 2 favorites of your own choice.
For your convenience, list your favorites in your comment or a PM.

Main Prizes:
- 1 month of premium subscription for yourself.
- 1 month of premium subscription for a friend of yours on the site.
- A follow from us.
- 3 favorites on cards of your choice on your account.

Happy smithing!

    A creature that lets you play the bottom of your library, as long as you know what that card is. I tried forever to give it some manner of "you may play the bottom card of your library as long as you know it" but couldn't find a clean, rules-legal way to do it.
