@jpastor - Oh, I thought the card had to be infuriating for the opponent, not for the creature it targets. If I asked any player what color infuriates them the most, most of the time they would say blue, regardless of the fact that red has majority of cards named after rage terms.
Well, challenges with subjective requirements were never my forte, since I'm not a mind reader.

@jpastor Sorry that I am late to this. I wasn't sure if you meant a boardwipe that didn't hit creatures or a boardwipe that wasn't done via a creature's ability so I combined a non-creature boardwipe spell with a creature boardwipe spell. https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/end-of-civilization-1
- PRIZE 1000 - PASS THE BATON: When you post your entry for this box, tag a cardsmith to post a variation of your card. For example: Your card = Tagged cardsmith's card = or can use different artwork of course!
- A MYSTERY CHALLENGE: Create a Legendary Creature that's black and green.
@jpastor - It does feel like a rug was pulled from under your feet when the challenge asked to use a color identity that infuriates opponents, but blue wasn't the answer just because there's a red card named Infuriate. Not to mention that Infuriate only targets creatures, not opponents. If the challenge said that the color identity infuriates the creature, it would have made more sense to make the entry a red card. I showed the challenge requirements to two other people and they also believed that the entry had to be a blue card.
And I'm sure it may not seem like it, but I actually put a lot of thought into each card I make, especially these days when I'm too busy dealing with everyday life unlike before. I work for the Tournament each day when I get a break, writing its story and designing its upcoming cards. When I saw you had given me a mystery box even though I didn't ask for one, I decided to create and entry for it anyway since I've been a long time player here. I read the challenge many times and I was dead certain it's a blue spell. It took me days to find fitting artwork for a blue combat trick, even with the help of another cardsmith.
With all those hours wasted onto a meager card which nobody liked and didn't even meet challenge requirements, makes me ask "Why bother?" Why participate anymore in random challenges with uncertain prizes when I could instead use that time into something I'm actually passionate about, that takes much more work but has even more satisfying results?
@balloonnation and @SpellPiper2213 Your mystery box contains: - Prize 1001: DISCARD ZONE: You may submit an old card you've created that matches this prompt. If you do, you get a fave. - A Mystery Challenge: Create a Goat creature card.
About the prize "Discard Zone" I must say I didn't get how it works hahah. If I'm not dumb, I think it means I can submit an old card that matches the challenge's prompt, so a Goat creature. My only other Goat creature card is the sweet Obstinate Goat: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/obstinate-goat?list=user
@SpellPiper2213 I really loved the art you picked, so I found a digital rendering of it, but kept it otherwise the same, and made it full art. And I added some flavor text. Hope you enjoy!
In Mystery Box Conquerors, a list of mystery challenges will be given with corresponding prizes. You can submit an entry for as many as you'd like. The best entry for a given mystery challenge will receive the corresponding prize. This event will end when I say so.

Create an artifact creature with more than 4 legs.

@SpellPiper2213 Your mystery box contains: - Prize 1002: You maycreate a challenge to give to the next mystery box other than your own. - A Mystery Challenge: I'm not sure if you've ever played Magic Duels, but there were spells that dealt direct damage to creatures or players, like Lightning Bolt or Searing Spear, for example. Some of those spells were fire oriented and the sound effect when you played them was like an ember. While some of those spells, like Sparkmage's Gambit, had an electrical "lightning-like" sound effect. Enough of the background. Create a damage spell that's electricity themed.

so close - red was the correct color because of the card "Infuriate"
