Journey into Insanity
Herro,
After playing a lot of Darkest Dungeon, I had this Idea:
In this contest, you have to create literally delirious creatures, whose actions are, by the meaning of the word, not rational.
You can also create enchantments, sorceries or instants that will make creatures or another entities "insane", or even artifacts that may affect the "sanity" of other permanents. You're free to decide how to interpret this insanity, either by making a keyword for it or by creating a mechanic that makes the card randomic or "inconsistent" in the best of interpretations.
Za 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;
- Be realistic;
- I'll favorite the ones I like and after 2 weeks I'll name the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places, along with honorable mentions;
EDIT: Forgot the 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

Something that can get things crazy real quick.
She's a queen, so for her going crazy equates to genocide of everything. In my mind. Enjoy!

Honorable mentions:
@Faiths_Guide 's Demented Gasp: Powerful, and it's usage sure seems something almost insane
@Yururu 's Daydream: Simple and sofisticated. I really love cards like these, specially those that take your opponent by surprise, no matter the cost.
3rd Place: @Gelectrode 's
Fathom Lash: Really interesting card, and the possibility of paying less mana for target randomness is really the kind of focus I think this contest should have. Thinking less about how worth it it is makes this card one of my favorites.
2nd Place: @Animist 's
Jixxa, Arcane Hedonist: Spicing up the battlefield with intense rage and abusive summoning makes this card a monster for everyone on battlefield. Once again, the consequences are kind of forgettable, and rational use seems far from possible.
1st Place: @Ravnica's
Augermind Sorcerer: This card fits so perfectly the "insanity" of this contest! The best part is that it does not even rely on randomness, just on the player's actions themselves. Really loved it.
Congratulations for everyone who joined this contest. It has really been insanely interesting.
For the Winners and Honorables, send me a PM about your prizes.
See ya!
