Dwarf Contest - CLOSED
Herro,
I was looking at some mtg cards when I realized there weren't that many dwarfs in Mtg, so here we are in a contest about making dwarf cards. The catch is: you need to create your cards in a way dwarfs are kinda unique in strategy. For example, a dwarf that gives power and haste to dwarfs is not much different than a goblin, as the main thing with goblins is to procreate and grow in power. Likewise, making a dwarf card that can be sacrificed for more power or damage is like making a vampire or a generic black creature.
For this contest, you need to think on what would a dwarven deck be based on, how it would be played and how it could differentiate between other creatures.
ex.: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dwarf-veteran-1
Some rules:
- You can make as many entries as you want;
- Only one of your entries will be chosen as best, you can't have both 2nd and 1st place;
- Only dwarf creatures. Dwarf artifacts or other types are discouraged;
- Be realistic;
- I'll favorite the ones I like and after 3 weeks I'll name the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places, along with honorable mentions;
Prizes:
- 1st: 1 like on 4 cards
- 2nd: 1 like on 3 cards
- 3rd: 1 like on 2 cards
- HM: 1 like on 1 card
This is my first contest, so I'll get the hang of it as time passes.

And yes, I made an entire Rigger/Contraption archetype, I would explain it here but it would probably take too long and be too confusing
remade version of the card, I already posted. Just changed frame and 'opponent' to 'player'.
Honorable Mentions:
- @Banelich 's Dwarven Architect:
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dwarven-architect-2
I like the idea of this card, although it being really cheap and broken even with the drawback....If it wasn't that cheap (yet abusive), I see this card becoming really interesting and powerful. I liked it.
- @Tomigon 's Grumpy Miner:
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/grumpy-miner-5?list=user
I really love the potential of this card, even though it alone doesn't do anything at all. Thinking about the things possible with the Mine Subtype makes me shiver.
- @VSSS 's Kimly, The mad:
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/kimly-the-mad?list=user
A dwarf with hexproof, multiple abilities and some even move powerful depending on the quantity of dwarves is a tough and fair dwarf legendary creature. Liked that dwarves would be white/red creatures according to your submissions, but I wished I saw something more unique in this card.
- @FangQuill 's Dwarven Repair-Smith
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dwarven-repair-smith
I like this card because of it's abilities, although they kinda don't get along very well with each other....A synergy with a card that granted one effect with other that granted the other would indeed be awesome, but in the same card....it kinda makes it too cheap. It kinda breaks it for me. Even though I liked it, if you had to choose one or another, either one would make good cards. But great job.
3º Place: @saveria201
Dwarven Spearmaiden:
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dwarven-spearmaiden-1?list=user
Making a creature that fights anything you want, and even punishing the opponent for trying to mess with it seems reckless, and I liked this kind of strategy. I can imagine dwarf creatures with similar abilities or powers, or that would synergise well with this kind of control. Neat.
2º Place: @Animist
Dwarven Reforger:

This was the kind of artifact interaction I was looking for in this contest. Would fit very nicely in a dwarven deck full of artifacts.
1º Place: @Faiths_Guide

This was kinda expected wasn't it? :P
10/10 card. Nothing more I can say about it.
Thanks again everyone!
Wow, thanks so much! Congrats @Winners and @Honorables!
