The first artist is Alex Negrea: https://alexnegrea.deviantart.com/

Example artwork from Alex Negrea:

    I will change the instructions a little to make it more clear.
    The artist or artists that is given in the challenge instructions are those who are will be used for the challenge, in this case only Alex Negrea.
    My first comment will only be a summary of all artists that has been commented about or recommended. they are only there for inspiration in general, not in particular for this contest.
    I hope this makes it more clear :)

    @jabrewer79 sorry for the confusing start.
    I will most likely use Wang Ling as the next artist so you could just hold on to your card and submit it if and when the next challenge begins :)
  • It is enchant equipment
  • @jonteman93 No worries. I'll withdraw it so as not to confuse others.

    That's a very overpowered second place card. XD
  • @modnation675 yeah it is clearly powerful. I was including that it needs to block for its abilty to be of use and i compared it to Kalonian Tusker.
    I was not thinking too much about limited balancing but more how the card is designed out of its art & the gut feelings.
    I put too little time into card evaluation this time but i did not want this contest to stand unconcluded for too long and i stand by my choice.
  • Fair enough. Just make sure to never make a 2 CMC 2/3 with first strike.
  • I'm just gonna go ahead and say Thanks! @Jonteman93 and oops!! This card is def undercosted...my bad. It will be fixed!!
  • Thanks Jonte for choosing one of mine. Well go ahead and favorite the card for the contest and any other one you actually among mine.
