Embodiment of a Song (Tommia Set Challenge)
Please read everything before you enter!
THIS CONTEST IS NOT ACCEPTING ENTRIES!
Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit (this would be an embedded video if people wouldn't have abused the system)
In this contest, I'll be challenging you to help me make some cards based on songs! Choose a song and get to making! Here's the rules:
- There'll be three categorized genre sets for voting. The best card from each genre set will be declared a "winner".
* Rock (All genres except Screamo)/Pop Rock/Electronic Rock
* Electronic Music (All genres except Electronic Rock)/Pop/Hip-Hop
* Classical/Orchestral/Video Game
* (If there's a song you're not sure about, or is in a genre not shown, PM me with the entry so I can clear it.)
- The following types of music are banned from this contest for personal reasons.
* Songs with excessively sinful or anti-religious messages (After all, if all you listen to is music about stealing, raping, and murdering all the time, this is probably the last thing you want to be doing.)(I'd say Rob Zombie and early Metallica is the line to draw it at.)
* Country Music (Excluding Folk and some songs in which an exception can be made.)
* Rap Music
* Especially suggestive songs or songs with more than a minimal amount of explicit lyrics (For instance, most Rob Zombie songs would be fine, but about half of S3RL's songs wouldn't)
* Songs with excessive screaming or obnoxious lyrics/sounds (PM me if you aren't certain about a song)
* Music with lyrics that are too hard to understand (This is a little bit on the off side. Most songs'll be allowed, but there's limits.)
* Parodies
* Songs that "aren't songs" (ex: the song "Tourette's")
- For personal reasons, songs with lyrics in another language are allowed, so long as you can provide an English translation (not translated with google translate.) (Ex [do not use this, as I have made a card for it myself]:
[original song with english sub annotations: 
])
- The card can be loosely based on the song, based on a part of the song, or based on the song entirely! (For instance, the card can just be based on the feel if you really want it to be.)
- Try to use the M15 frame. That's the one I'm using for my set, and I want to make sure the text will fit.
- You may not enter uncards (non-serious cards).
- You can enter cards that you entered into other contests if you wish to do so.
- This isn't mandatory, but please put a link to the contest in the comments section of your card. I've noticed that a lot of my contests haven't gotten any love, and no one ever links to them.
- By entering, you agree to allow me to remake your card for my set, at my sole discretion, making any changes I see fit.
- Limit two entries per genre set. They can be all at once, or a certain number at a time. (Quick Note: If you enter both faces of a transforming card, both parts of a fuse card, or a set of cards that work together and are based on the same song, it still constitutes a single entry just like any other card.)
- I can fix mistakes you make, but if you made a mistake so drastic you can't live it down, feel free to fix it. You may only resubmit each entry once.
- When entering, post a link to the song, along with the song's genre and a link to the card (if you don't know the genre, PM me the entry so I can help you out before you enter for real.)
- No anonymous entries!
There will be one main prize for the "winner" of each category (3 favs, card remade), and the best card will get 5 favs and remade!
For anyone who doesn't "win", all honorable mentions will get a favorite from Tommia and could still be remade; only cards in Tommia contests get favorited by Tommia!
If you want to make a different type of card for my set, check this page out.
This contest has no set deadline. Please do not ask.

Target Creature gets +5/+5 and gains Trample, Haste, and First Strike until end of turn. Exile it and the begining of the end step.
"Through the forests of Wisconsin that I knew as a boy/ past the Skyline of Chicago/ and the Lakes of Illonois/ I lay my head in a motel bed when my back gets sore and my eyes get red/ and listen to trucks roll past my door/ through the fields of Ohio, as the sunshine paints them gold/ I run like the river runs, rapid quick and cold/ And fly through Pennsylvania and the Jersey Turnpike tolls/ and I won't stop till I get to New York."-Passenger, Riding to New York
An: I believe that this falls under the Folk Rock category, so This could be accepted.
Update: Actually able to fix the name. Thanks for letting me know

Each Enchantment Aura is based off a movement from the actual song, the final movement is Kefka. I tried my best, I may not have the experience, but note I tried my best to make some cool cards.

Genre: Video Game
You even reference Rob Zombie as okay, but he "screams" just as much as the next guy.
So, really, my question is this: Do you mean, specifically, death metal, black metal and the like? Or anything with vocals that might be considered screaming?
If you would use something like Bach's Fifth Symphony, you could probably make a creature that has a correlation with the power the song conveys and show how it relates through flavor. I'm unsure as well, but that's my take on it.
The card's called Mind Pop. Hope you like it

Destroy target creature.
Threshold-Destroy two target creatures if you have seven or more cards in your graveyard
Delirium-Destroy three target creatures if you have four or more card types in your graveyard.
Only apply Delirium if you have Threshold
Based on the AC/DC song, Back in Black
Like this one...
BTW, wanna know some examples of what wouldn't be allowed?
Screamo Music: Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People:
Screamo Music: Slipknot - Killpop:
Can't understand the lyrics: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit:
Here's my first entry for the Rock category, Silica the First
Genre: Vocaloid Electronic Metal
Song: cillia - FIRST (This song is in Japanese. Click me instead for the original song with English subs. [Note: This version may sound bad in terms of vocals since it's performed by a vocaloid, a voice synthesizer designed to sing music. The first one has no subs, but the vocaloid is autotuned and smoothed to sound a lot nicer.])
I think you're approaching a real grey zone when you exclude certain music in a generally music-related contest ._.
I mean, if lyrics in another language than english counts, how does that make it any different from "screamo"? Just look up the lyrics - You'd have to with songs in foreign languages anyway, no?
I can understand the omission of religious music, though... I'm a huge fan of a band called Dream Theater, and they have this wonderful song called "The Spirit Carries On that I would like to enter a card of to the contest. It's inherently religiously tied (Even if the song itself isn't specifically about any particular religion, but the lyricist is a devout christian), though I myself am a complete agnostic - So is that also completely out of the picture?
Off topic: Marilyn Manson has absolutely NOTHING to do with screamo - If anything, The Beautiful People is just him yelling out the vocals... god knows why some people enjoy that, but hey :x
I dislike his music and I don't like screamo, but an example of "screamo" is something like Suicide Silence (Which, by the way, is dreadful). Screamo is not a genre per se (Well, some would disagree, but it's really just a way of singing), but more of a defining trait of certain genre - Widely used in "-core" music, like metalcore and all of its different kinds of offspring.
Screamo originates with Punk music, anyway, and has zilch to do Manson.
Song: What Can You See In Their Eyes - Composed by Shiro Sagisu
Orchestral / Symphonic / Epic
I think what JBYT_LT is getting at is he would only like you to enter music he likes, and not music he does not want to listen to...
For me, that would be a banning of Coldplay (musical hacks), Guns and Roses and Eric Clapton...
Paradise:
The Scientist:
Trouble:
Anyways... we're totally off topic! Sorry JBYT_LT!

Your argument is sound. Only because everything everyone knows is a repeat of what was already known before. Education and learning are just absorbing and rehashing the past. There is nothing new. Everything that can exist, does exist. It is just waiting to be plucked from the aether. You cannot create anything, you can only find it.
I find it rather funny that the bands you banned all covered Knockin' on Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan, which was written specifically for the 1973 film Pat Garret and Billy the Kid. Also, you defended Marilyn Manson, who became famous for covering the oft covered Tainted Love by Gloria Jones. His stage name is even a creepypasta of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson. You should watch Deadpool a few more times, maybe another Sinead O'Connor reference will help balance your judgement.
This song represents why both "screamo", as you say, metal and cover bands are beautiful. If you can't see that, then I weep for you.
XD
I just wish I knew where I put that picture I had of the Pope...
Why does safety first sound like a reminder to turn the safety off before you attempt to discharge a firearm?
Why does bury the hatchet sound like hide the murder weapon?
