Happy birthday @AustinSmith! May your bellows blow the flames of your forge of inspiration into an ever brighter light serving as a beacon to those which remain in darkness!
Now we all need to get @AustinSmith Birthday gifts!
(Wouldn't that be awesome if everyone on the site gifted a pack of cards, if able, to the other cardsmiths on their respective birthdays? "The Price Is Your Soul!" This idea fits so perfectly with this contest!)
Really tough to judge this contest, but here's the winners I've selected:
HONORABLE MENTION goes to @Corwinnn for Putrid Puncture. Solid card on theme, but the real kicker here is that it was my 666th favorite on this site. I tip my hat to you, Corwinnn.
THIRD PLACE goes to @Animist for To the Gods. A lot of effort went into editing the card to the point where it is now, and the white devotion-based flavor really captured my attention for being super unique.
SECOND PLACE goes to @Faiths_Guide for A Horse. This card had the perfect blend for me of unique color choice (green), power level, and a slight comedic touch. Well done.
FIRST PLACE goes to @hannibal6 for Barter With Death. Other than a name conflict in the text box, this felt like a home run for this contest for me. Great art, great flavor, great combo potential; so many things hit all the right nails for me.
Great job everyone, and thanks for participating! Winners please respond with links to cards you want feedback & favorites on.
