Save Tommia and Make Faction Cards! (We need cards!)
Oh boy... this aught to be a mouthful, but here goes...
Saving Tommia has been around for a while, but you can look at the set and begin to notice some problems... many problems... MAJOR problems. With my ideas alone, I can't fix this problem. With your help, we can make things right!
For this contest, I need you to make cards for factions in the set of Saving Tommia. In the comments I will list the factions and their colors, playstyle, and mechanics, but for now, let's talk details, rules, prizes, and the deadline.
Brief: Make one or more faction cards for Saving Tommia! Limit three commons, two uncommons, and one rare per smith, or you may instead enter one cycle of up to six cards containing only commons and/or uncommons.
Rules: I'm going light on rules, but let's set some points
Prizes: There are prizes to be had, so have at it! You cannot win two prizes in the same category, and you cannot win a prize from all three categories.

Deadline: The End of October 2016
Good luck everyone, and have a good day!

Rules: I'm going light on rules, but let's set some points
- We practice professionalism here... sort of. That means proper grammar and syntax, proper balancing, no uncards, and strictly no anonymous entries!
- I hate to go here, but to avoid any unneeded extra steps with finalizing cards for play/printing, please use the M15 Card Frame and the Fate Reforged Set Icon.
- You may enter cards that you have entered into other contests, and you may remake cards that you have made before. However, reprints of real cards are not permitted
- You may fix any mistakes you have made on cards entered into this contest, just so long as they're fixed before the end of the contest.
- The card must work for its faction, but it does not have to be all of the faction's colors or contain a faction mechanic.
- By entering, you give Tommia the right to add their cards to the set Saving Tommia, along with any future sets, and you give them permission to make changes to your card as they see fit to adjust it to fit in the set.
Prizes: There are prizes to be had, so have at it! You cannot win two prizes in the same category, and you cannot win a prize from all three categories.

This is going to sound weird, but since there's more cards there than allowed in the contest, is it okay for me to just enter my favorites from among them into the contest?
