Rank 99 - 164.... Well ... my fingers hurt
About the score, could you explain how it works? I didn't understand the columns.
alright @AboveAndAbout, since I have to comment on your card, here's my feedback:
I feel like 2 combat phases is a bit OP for only 5 mana. I would recommend 6. But past that, I think its a really good card. I really like the little box symbol you have there. I don't have premium, but oh well. And @jpastor, I honestly don't care what cards you favorite, if you favorite any at all. I chose my really favorite ones for the last one, and yeahh. Also another box please.
- A Quick Mystery Challenge: Create a Legendary Dragon creature card.
As for the leaderboards... from left to right
- A Quick Mystery Challenge: Create a creature card that has flying as long as its [...].

ok @jpastor thats cool, but here's a card where I went crazy with devotion. Another box, please!
- Favorites: 2 of your choice
- A Quick Mystery Challenge: Create a 2 mana common Zombie creature with an activated ability.
tada. Another box please
@Yonkers11 Up to 64th. Your quick mystery box contains:
- A Quick Mystery Challenge: Create an instant spell with a green sword in the artwork.
ok here is a green sword. sorry it took so long I took a Kingdom Hearts break. Chain of Memories, to be exact for the GBA. anyway, another box, please
- A Quick Mystery Challenge: Almarek, Champion of Kidjo is a card made by @KironFrost. It mentions a mechanic called "Resolute," but I have no idea what this mechanic is... using Almarek as your inspiration, create your own card with the Resolute mechanic and make sure you include in italics the description of what Resolute is... of course using your imagination to decide what you think Resolute means in context of the Almarek card.
yes on the previous statement; I kinda forgot that trample existed, but here, bam, another box please.
First off, who's a good boy? *scratches Mallara behind the ears*.
Hem hem. I love the flavour of Dogs having a mechanic called Resolute, and I think you defined an effective and simple mechanic evocative of the name. I think the ability should be re-worded to "A creature with resolute cannot have -1/-1 counters put on it." This is the more typical wording of this ability that I can find, see Solemnity: https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=430711
Right now there exists the game state where Mallara enters the battlefield after Adorable Puppy already has a -1/-1 counter on it. Gaining resolute, Adorable Puppy "cannot have -1/-1 counters on it", so what do we now do with the counters on there already?
I feel this resolute would make sense most as a white based mechanic, though green would certainly be a supporting colour so it makes enough sense here (especially on a dog). I can see this card having blue for flying, and green/blue is evocative of the natural beings being altered (the Simic definitely would've bred some adorable dog/X combinations for their puppy mill).
I just don't see anything particularly red about the card. Maybe if it was to have first strike or haste, both of which would help make up for the low toughness and utilise the high power. I also totally think you could add either of those without effecting the card's cost, six mana across three colours is an excuse to give it some more buffed stats, and the tribal restriction on the resolute ability means you've already made that aspect quite balanced.
I think I understand that as the rival to Almarek (an Abzan card) you might be aiming to make Mallara opposing colours, but I think that would be all the more reason to add a defining red element to the card. Almarek has a few life gain elements, red hates on life gain, and as a bat Mallara could have a vampiric aspect. Maybe Mallara could also limit other players gaining life, or steal that lifegain for itself?
Apologies if this seems an in-depth interrogation, I genuinely like the card, love the art, and think you've defined the resolute mechanic very well. Now, to put myself out there...
- A Quick Mystery Challenge: Create a creature with an Unearth cost less than its mana cost.
May I present, Fiendfire Mage: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/fiendfire-mage

@jpastor, I would love to open another box if you'd be so kind.
Another box please @jpastor!
