Subtly Moronic
Hallo gents! I hope we're all having fun making custom cards; I know I am. So, this is my very first contest. I'll admit to being a little nervous, being my first time and all.
Ahem. So, here's what I had in mind. I want to see your moronic cards, but not just any moronic cards. I want to see your cards that seem brilliant and powerful, with an awe-inspiring name and picture, but are slightly idiotic. Like maybe a card that destroys an attacking creature, but you accidentally made it a sorcery. Cards that are veeeeeeeeeeery subtly stupid that a newbie wouldn't notice, but would create a sensation in an experienced player that something was wrong and would need a second and maybe third glance to spot it.
So in the spirit of sharing, here is mine, Shred Soul: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/shred-soul?list=user
The winner will be determined by me. Nepotism will be heavily considered. The winner will be awarded a Wookie life debt or a congratulatory snub, to be determined by the winner.

(Note: This card isn't moronic in the least. It is one of the most flavorful cards I've ever made.
Also ludicrously funny.)
Foegod is just bananas. If that thing ever hit the board I'd be quite cross. It's what Volrath's Curse was made for.
I love Seat of Dejection! I laughed aloud at it! It's one of those spells I can see a less-than-clever card designer sending off to run in a set before getting final approval. He probably carried his personal affects home in a box three weeks after the set hit store shelves.
Sarah Bellum definitely helped usher me into manhood. There's no way the Mayor of Townville didn't want to sleep with her. We all know she really ran things.
Irrisistable Levity cracks me up on several levels. Its flavor text is a pretty big hint this card is underpants-on-the-outside nuts, but the spelling error is a delicious cherry on top.
So now we come to the part that the whole world is waiting for. There was a lot of strong competition, but for sheer hare-brained lunacy I think I'm going to have to go with....
Seat of Dejection! The delicious idea of a naive player putting it into their deck as a control method and then accidentally nuking the whole board is just too hilarious. I adore it. Lujikul, please click here to claim your hard-won prize: http://www.animateit.net/data/media/feb2013/Thumbs_21.gif
