sorry I couldn't find the artist
*cough!*
That said, tomorrow is the final day of this contest to make your last minute entries if you haven't already or forgot to put a card in you might have for it. Thank you so much to everyone involved for the cool ocean themed cards!!
Before I 'dip in' to the top 3 cardsmiths, I would like to point out there was several amazing cards 'dropped in the deep end' of this contest that made 'quite a splash.' (ok I'm done now with the puns, got that out of my system.) Here are the honorable mentions, as I promised if there was enough entries (and there most definitely was!)
@madstokie with Cthulhu Rising
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/cthulhu-rising
I loved everything about this card, and it was a surprising entry for madstokie as normally madstokie is known for their humorous cards. I wanted to give this more but because it simply said "Unblockable" I couldn't give it a higher place, everything else was flavorful and awesome. Congrats on the cool card though!
@Aggroman15 with Waves of Insanity
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/waves-of-insanity
Ok this card is amazing. I would run it. I just didn't like how the text ran right into the border on the first sentence going into this thing. It also had a large gap at the bottom of the card that felt like it should have had some flavor text, where was the flavor text? Other than that, I truly liked this card, it just felt really unfinished and I felt it could have been dropped in the casting cost and rarity of the card slightly.
@TenebrisNemo with Riverfinder
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/riverfinder
This card had me at Riverfinder lol. I knew it was going to be a Merfolk before I even saw the card itself! I had a couple nitpicks about it being a 3 drop 1/1 that gave an opponent's largest creature a +1/+1 counter when this attacks. It felt like this creature's body should have been larger for such a payout when there are other creatures that are uncommon and unblockable but are bigger than +1/+1. It's not a big thing, I just felt like this should have been a 2/2 and maybe the cmc should be 2uu when its power and toughness is raised. Really sweet creature though, and it was enough to get an honorable mention!
@TheSuturedHeartMan with Swallowed By The Sea
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/swallowed-by-the-sea
Ok so this is what I'm talking about. I loved the name, art and feel behind this card. I just felt that this card's layout of the rules text and flavor text itself could have been better. Small nitpicks, but enough to land you an honorable mention. Nicely done, mate!
Here are the winners!!

Servant (Whenever this creature attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on target attacking creature with greater power.)
Which means that whenever it attacks with another creature you control, if that creature has greater power than Riverfinder's power, you put a +1/+1 on that creature you control.
So it's a CMC 3 unblockable 1/1 that can give counters to your other creatures you control (or to your teammate's creatures if it's Two-Headed Giant for example) whenever they attack together as long as their power is greater than Riverfinder's power.
@EmolgAn cards faved!
@MrRansom @bnew07 send me pm your fave requests.
@Corwinnn, can you please close this contest?
