Azorius Aristocrat
A while back I made a card called Rakdos Aristocrat. The idea was to make a 10 card set of Aristocrats based on the Ravnica Block Guilds. I was never truly happy with the cards I made for this, and I was waiting for the moment when inspiration would strike, and then I realized that this would make for a great challenge!
We just completed the third challenge for the Simic Aristocrat.

So here it is... The fourth of 10 challenges (As long as you all like it and it continues to be popular)
Azorius Aristocrat
The guildelines are as follows...
1. CMC of 5, 4 or 3.
2. Must have at least one white and one blue mana in the casting cost.
3. Should be Uncommon or Rare.
4. Should fit the feel of Azorius.
5. Subtype should include "Advisor"
6. I would prefer the name of the card be Azorius Aristocrat, but that's not required.
The judging will be comprised of Comments made on the cards by other cardsmiths as well as favorites on the cards, and I will also take into consideration your thoughts as well. Any ties will be broken by myself, or a vote.
The reward for this challenge shall be a TROPHY and a custom card of choice! The top three cards will be announced.
The contest ends on May 15th
Here is a recent sample I made

I want to win this time, Corwinn. Others may have thwarted my plans on the Simic and Orzhov challenges, but now I shall have my revenge! Bwahahahaha!

Looks like you went overboard on upping the power...

I guess I found a good way to make it in the flavor of Azorius.

Two weeks in a row that the top three is reflected in the votes from fellow cardsmiths!
I like how this card supports your Azorius themed deck by giving life and punishing the opponent for even considering sending a creature to attack you. This could have ended up higher with a more Aristocrat feel to the art, but great job overall!

Great all around feel to this card! You really came to play with this one! She interacts and supports, and has that arrogance about her that goes so far as to reward the people you've punished with a card. Nice work!
First Place - @Rudmed

A very simple card with an abundance of flavor and attitude. I like the way this one feels. It's understated and yet with just the right touches can influence a game with timing and ingenuity. A very well crafted Aristocrat that you could build a deck around! Great Job!
