Here's two:
(The second uses Copper tokens, AKA less powerful Gold. Is that alright?)
heres my entry!
I spent about an hour trying to make sure this card was balanced and just generally well put together, I hope you like it!

Extra feet and additional weight do not a silent theft make.
(The Hesperides were the nymphs in charge of looking after the golden apples which show up as MacGuffins in several Hellenic myths; they weren't very good at their jobs).
Now, rather abruptly, the winners!

Flavorful, mythical, balanced...ical (well, you can't say I didn't try.) 5 color lands are always odd to design without straying outside the territory of Unknown Shores of City of Brass, especially ones that synergize with affinity, simple, efficient, not borken. Good stuff.

You've placed in the top 3 in so many of my contests that even I am beginning to suspect favoritism. But can you blame me? Consistently flavorful, effective and balanced designs seem to be the name of the game wherever you pop up, and a Bribe card more flavorful than Bribery more than deserves a spot in the big 3.

It's gimmicky and I love it. It may not be strong, heck, it may even be objectively counter-productive. But it's a new, very flavorful, very unique idea. Though you could bring up King Macar as an argument against my points I will no less like this card, its design, its flavor, and its interactions across numerous boards. Well done @koover, you win this round.

I get 5? Sweet!
