I am still in the process of understanding how to judge, but I am available.
I quite enjoy doing challenges that have a 4 card limit. It lets me make a card of each rarity.
He never left the path after he found out how to get food ... and spoils..
Here's what I've made.
Here is my second entry.
My third and most likely final entry.
My first entry.
I’ll link the MtgCardsmith one, but I’m posting the Mtg.Design one here, because it looks so much better.

The main reason I rarelly make commons is that if you just use the MTGcardsmith set symbol, while the card is also common, I feel like it looks like you just forgot about the set symbol altogether.
(Carnivore tokens come from https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=376556 )
This one's much more boring:
(Similar to Felidar Retreat.) (I'm aware this isn't a creature, but it is a beast.)
I do dislike the entire "Once a season" rule for judging, but I find it reasonable.
nvm, i have other things to do in the judging time-frame

It's a creative card that's for sure.
This references Grazing Gladehart, which isn't a beast, but I'd say it is one when it is big and evil enough.

Note: I might have worded this wrong, but the controller of Sinful Gladehart gets the snake token.
First two entries. Playing off the allied cycle of keyword lords in Ikoria.
Edit: Changed the waterhide's name and flavor text.
Edit: Added the "creatures" clause in the protection keyword, increased the mana cost of the 3rd ability from 4 to 5, and slightly adjusted the last ability.
I had a hard time with the balance of this. Emerge reduces the cost by a lot and this can have quite a lot of counters when entering, so I decided to keep this with p/t of 4/5 thanks to amazing feedback on the discord!
