    @kltmtg29 - No worries, I was just posting as a reminder to anyone who still wants to enter, and as an easy way for @Butters to see how many are left to go. Right now everyone who entered is safe, and up to three more can enter... but after that, someone will have to be eliminated.

    My first card pairs with a planeswalker I made named Tessith, Staticforce and was made with the explicit intent of being in a planeswalker intro deck tied to a set I am currently working on. The Set is currently named Blackened Skies and features the new planeswalker named Tessith Coel. He is an electromancer who's lore within the main set I am still writing.

    Planeswalker Tied to Entry: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/tessith-staticfroce?list=user
    Note: deathshield is the same thing as regenerate, just reworded to fit in with other cards that use the keyword in the set this was intended to be in.
    -You might notice this card has a similarity to cards from Kaladesh, which was intentional. The idea for Blackened Skies was to make a steampunk set with more focus on the traditional steampunk style rather than the brighter steampunk style Kaladesh gave us. This is how I envisioned Kaladesh to be themed and designed when it was first announced. Therefore, some mechanics (such as energy) were brought back and a lot of the abilities on cards are very artifact-focused. In fact, I intend for the set to be almost 50% artifacts (both colored and colorless) in total when it's done. The overall idea was this set would've been released in Kaladesh's place, had Wizards had actually made this a set. Also, in case you were wondering what Tessith's planeswalker from within Steam Siege looks like, http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/tessithvoltforce-supreme-1?list=user (This is not an entry, just something to compare the planeswalker-deck-exclusive walker I'm entering to!)

    Anyways, my second entry is http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/graniteforged-domination
    The card is intended to pair with the already existing planeswalker, Vraska, the Unseen.

    My third entry is intended to pair with all of the official Sorin planeswalkers. This card plays into the fact that all the Sorin planeswalkers either make tokens with lifelink or have an ability that gains you life. Therefore, I made a card that pairs with Sorin on flavor grounds while also paring with him functionally, matching life gain with a card that rquires you to pay a large amount of life. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/awaken-the-archangel-1?list=user

    It's not based on any fact, or even opinion, but I think that @littledemon is gonna win. Don't ask me why.

    @Arceus8523 your second entry is a creature.;. It has to be an instant or sorcery.
    and your third is an aartifact...
  • TastyCheezTastyCheez
    @Mila your entries are creatures, the contest specifies instant or sorcery cards.
  • ButtersButters
    @TastyCheez is all over it. Good to see my job doesn't need to be done anymore.
  • MilaMila
    Meh. I'll delete those two and make some new stuff. I should have read the insructions a second time before entering.
  • strongbelievesstrongbelieves
    You know what cards need instants/sorceries that make them stronger? Planeswalkers.

  • TastyCheezTastyCheez
    @Faiths_Guide I know I'm acting like the host but doesn't the instant/sorcery need to specify the planeswalker and "support" it in some way?

    @TastyCheez
    As the card does indeed "support" the planeswalker (who desperately needs some form of card draw to function), and there is no requirement for this name to be mentioned, I think the entry is definitely valid.

    Feel free to correct me @Butters!

    So For my submissions all three are based around one of the most underused walkers in wizards' arsenal (IMO) the enigmatic and unpredictable genius Ral Zarek.

    So here are the entries:

  • TastyCheezTastyCheez
    @dashdo101 How does one give an ATTACKING creature vigilance? It has to tap to attack. And how are you supposed to cast a sorcery that targets attacking creatures? It should be an instant, and it doesn't give the effect until end of turn. It should be "Until end of turn, attacking creatures you control gain Lifelink and Indestructible. Untap those creatures." and should be an instant.
  • TastyCheezTastyCheez
    @thenightbringer Ral Zarek isn't underused, he's used a ton in comps where I play.

    @TastyCheez
    yeh, i guess your right. thx!
    also, edited it.
  • TastyCheezTastyCheez
    @dashdo Hm, I looked at it again. It's fine but I think it could do with a little rewording. Also I think that art is from a real WOTC card...
  • TastyCheezTastyCheez
    @Faiths_Guide it doesn't specify the planeswalker though?
  • Faiths_GuideFaiths_Guide
    @TastyCheez
    You are correct sir.
  • ButtersButters
    @Faiths_Guide. You are correct with your entry. As long as the instant or sorcery compliments/supports the abilities of the attached planeswalker then it is fine.
    @TastyCheez. Thanks for giving your comments. Just remember that you are still a contestant in this so just leave the judging to myself and those who have been DQ'd already.
  • TastyCheezTastyCheez
    @Butters oh ok, it's just that I and another had entries that didn't specify the planeswalker, look at your comment on the first page that says "find Chandra" etc.
  • Faiths_GuideFaiths_Guide
    To quote @Butters:
    "...again this is where your cardsmith ability comes into it. If you want to direct reference a certain planeswalker then mention the name, however, if want to make a card that just effects certain types of planeswalkers (e.g. blue) then that is up to you as well."
  • ButtersButters
    @TastyCheez i have then given an example of complimenting a planeswalker ability which is also acceptable.
  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    "Hey Chandra, those are some wicked goggles you got going on with that outfit today."
