@Tomigon, or should I ask @Beeswax...

Lore question:

For Oathsworn, is the card meant for

Someone to swear an oath for someone: "I swear I will do it for you."
Swear against someone: "I swear I will kill you!"
Or to swear loyalty or friendship: "I swear to be your brother."

Hooray! Another Mechanix! I just picked the ability with the best name and flowed with it. Hope you like it! @Tomigon

It has been a while since I did a contest like this, so here is my entry. Flavor will likely come tomorrow with a story behind the card. I need to get used to doing this kind of stuff again, so let's see if my faith will light the way for me.

Also for the next challenge we need something that is the opposite of glow. It's an interesting ability, but seems to be dominantly white, and maybe with green or red. Perhaps something like dim to reflect black? Could be fun.

This was an interesting card to make. It would be fun if the untap symbol was reprinted, and you could give a creature with a tap ability an untap ability. This could certainly be used in EDH for broken interactions, and I have Zero idea if it's at all balanced. But whatever, its cool. ALSO, I know I use this image a lot, and I forget to credit the artist, Raymond Swanland. That's because with a crappy internet, it takes 15 minutes to copy the text, and add all the HTML italic thingies. Forgive me.

Originally intended as the second meaning, swearing an oath of vengeance. It was a part of a small set I did awhile back.

It'd never make it in an actual set, obviously; creatures with Oathbound all had to have low power and high toughness so that they could survive multiple combats, which would stall out boards fast, and the sheer complexity of tracking oaths is a major pain. Fun to work with thematically, though.
