I didn't think @Tomigon was prohibiting partner, just informing everyone that the card must stand alone as synergistic. He didn't want us to merely slap "Partner" at the bottom and call it good (or so I thought).

- 2nd place!! "Raynog" by @Wackosaru http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/raynog?list=set&set=16375 Paired with "Dagon" by @ashesofthewake http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dagon-4?list=set&set=16375 ^Both creatures have death triggered ability. And Raynog's 2nd ability destroys creatures. I think that would hardly happen, because if opponents know their vehicles would be destroyed, they would keep those vehicles away from combat. Dagon's token ability also helps death triggered abilities, but it's difficult to put +1/+1 counters on other tokens, because 2/2s must take damage and survive. But it puts counters on Raynog and Dagon. That's a good thing. But what I love the most is Raynog itself. Although 2nd ability seems very hard to trigger, it feels exactly like a sea monster!
- 1st place!!! "Kylian, Caller of the Fallen" by @dudemantheguy http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/kylian-caller-of-the-fallen?list=set&set=16375 Paired with "Altennoir, Faith's Guide" by @Lujikul http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/altennoir-faiths-guide?list=set&set=16375 ^I think Altennoir is designed for other contest because its triggered ability doesn't function on that card alone. Kylian has an ability that triggers his buddy's ability. I like the flavor that Spirit of sacrificed creature protects other creature(Probably Altennoir). It's very WB. Kylian has also {t} ability. It doesn't have synergies with Altennoir, but it goes well with Kylian's sacrifice ability. Cool mechanic!
----------------------------------- As always if you want to know my thoughts more, feel free to send me PM. I give TROPHY to winning cards, but I decided not to add these cards to Hall of Fame.. because they all have tiny mistakes(?). Forgotten creature type, colon, new border choice.. Sorry!! Let me know if you fix something. I'll give TROPHY to new one.

^Synergy is not so strong, and Geira is very under powered, but Moira is very neatly designed.
