  I would advise an explanation as to Devour for those whom are unaware of its meaning. Possibly toss out a couple examples of it from actual cards to showcase its use, as well as stopping cardsmith's from simple rehashing previously made WotC cards by accident.
  
  Gets a little more creative pool flowing.

  @dibbydubsdubs No, just add examples, like this:
  
  "Devour [number] is an ability that allows you to sacrifice creatures as a creature enters the battlefield. The number indicates how many +1/+1 counters to put on the creature for each creature sacrificed this way."

  Yeah, sorry. Didn't mean for it to sound that extreme. Ha ha.
  
  Devour is an older mechanic, so a lot of people don't know of it. Going forward I would recommend highlighting the mechanic you want to use. Saves people a little extra time and also might spark interest or ideas right from your contest page.
  
  And if you ever miss something, forget, or are newly informed to other ideas, rules, or issues with a contest you make, just post a new comment, or if you can edit your original post still, which you usually can, since you have time once it's been posted to edit it, just edit your original post.
  
  Much easier, and that way if you have entries or have already sparked awareness you don't have to lose anything or the work you've already done.
