@pewnd I really love this idea! Unfortunately, I'm too busy right now to create a card for this, but maybe in the future! I just wanted to say, this is awesomely creative, and keep up the good work!
This is an amazing idea @pewnd, I only hope I haven't come so late a player card has already been made for every strategy in existence... @DragonFaceEater
@OneBigBlueSky Thanks and it's never too late. The contest ends on the 24th so there's loads of time to shoot ideas. Additionally I'm keeping all unselected entries around just in case
@pewnd if I was to make a player card that had an ability similar to most generic "If a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, _____" would I reference the creature dealing combat damage to the "Keeper"? Just want to be sure to use the correct terminology.
@OneBigBlueSky It's fine if you use the same strategy as I did, I don't want you to feel like you're stealing my ideas or anything. I'm completely fine with it, even if you copy my entire card and change one ability.
Thanks but you were right @Faiths_Guide, that wasn't really what I was asking. xD Got it @DragonFaceEater, I was just worried about overlap. I won't be deliberately copying anyone's cards because that's immoral and unoriginal.
@OneBigBlueSky The "Keeper" is just a title and has no impact on the mechanics of the game. You could simply refer to them as an opponent because the other non-keeper players are teammates.

I would like to further clarify how to refer to Player-Cards.
(Horribly overpowered card, but you get the jist of what I'm trying to express.)
Player-Cards will (for the time being) be used as a placeholder for now. As much as I would love to have the Player-Cards literally be you it would be odd and clunky. Perhaps in the future it will become something even more outrageously janky and complex. But then there is the issue of fitting that all on the card and having it easy to understand. So it's just easier to not refer to the cards themselves as Players but mechanically refer to them as the player's Player-Card and functionally a creature.
Combining the mechanics of being both a player, and a creature is proving difficult.
EDIT: It's 3:30 am and my brain is hurting from this many instances of the word "Player".
Fantastic week one of the Adventure gametype! I'm super thrilled by all the amazing entries. I've decided to push the contest end date earlier to the 16th (next Friday) so I can move on to the next step of the format asap.
I know you were looking for mono and duel colored players cards, but this guy needed to be every color. I did't give him the Mana Pool ability to offset how OP he could get. Instead the deck will have to rely on other mana sources

What you've done is also perfectly acceptable! I was just letting you know for reference.
fixed it.
@DragonFaceEater - Typo on Vorae And how much damage does Demonlord Moshiath?
@Faiths_Guide - You left an open bracket on Chek. (I think top card revealed always is neat)
@DingusXeon - Little typo on I'ka in her activated ability

Two different effects. Both of which are acceptable.
You could say "Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player/opponent, ..."
[ Like - http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=383311 ]
Alternatively, you could say "Whenever a source you control deals damage to a player/opponent, ..."
[ Like - http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=383311 ]
They are (obviously) different in their application and effectiveness, so it depends on what you want.
(Is this what you were asking? Guess not, not really... Oops.)
