Thank you for doing this contest. Mainly because it makes me aware that there is only one card in my entire 503-card collection that meets the criteria!
I would also like to thank you for making this contest. I'm new to this website, so it was a good introduction to contests. I hope to get involved in future challenges.
"Countryside Colossus" by @Animist http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/countryside-colossus?list=user ^This couldn't win, but actually this is my most favorite card. Simple and clean! But I think it's a bit weak. I think it should do something before/when it is removed. EtB or death triggered ability would be nice. I felt the same thing from @Ludos's Rhino. (I love that card too!)
"Srothox, the Desecration" by @poogle http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/srothox-the-desecration-3?list=user ^I like "if you cast it from your hand"! It forbids you from abusing in Reanimate deck, which is the right thing! Because EtB ability is very powerful.. I think it's a bit too powerful though. That's the reason this card could make it top 5. But I like the demonic effect!
"Goliath Deluge" by @pewnd http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/goliath-deluge?list=user ^I really like the concept! But probably the card could use more power. It can't be countered, but it has no evasion ability, so probably people choose Draining Whelk over this. But yes, this would be a blast of fun in multiplayer game! (Tiny mistakes: The text of the ability that triggers when you cast it should be separated from the text of "... enters the battlefield with ...". Also, "exiled with" is right. )
------------------------- I'm not a perfect judge, and judging big creatures is difficult, but I tried my best. Sorry if I didn't comment on your card! If you want to know my thought about your card, feel free to send me PM!
Huge thanks to all participants! I really really enjoyed this a lot!
If you want to do CS17 playtest, you are always welcome! There'll be deck building contest in the future! Link to the set: http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Tomigon/sets/12382 ^Any feedbacks are appreciated.

^I think this breaks many rules and have many issues, but I like the idea! Very ambitious and creative!

"Minister of Preference" by @DomriKade

^It seems very unfair at first glance, but considering that it can be removed by instant, I think this is balanced. Lockdown decks would be build around this card.

Winners!
-5th place
"The sightless watcher" by @HenryTheHatter
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/the-sightless-watcher-1?list=user
^Draw two cards instead of one card is very simple and nice effect to put on a finisher! It's a shame that wording and capitalizing aren't done correctly!
-4th place
"Spirit of Blossoms" by @kltmtg29
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/spirit-of-blossoms?list=user
^Beautifully done!
- 3rd place!
"Forefront Instigator" by @Animist
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/forefront-instigator?list=user
^I like how its EtB ability supports Horde ability!
- 2nd place!!
"Tempest Elemental" by @Connor2001
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/tempest-elemental-3?list=user
^Nice! As I mentioned above, I think triggered ability that doesn't need mana cost is very good to put on creatures with expensive cost.
- 1st place!!!
"She Who Walks Through Enemies" by @Corwinnn
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/she-who-walks-through-enemies?list=user
^Cool way to evade enemies! It also helps you remove creatures! Very unique and flavorful mechanic!

@Connor2001
You also made small text version of "Tempest Elemental". Which one do you want me to favorite?
You're welcome! I'm glad that you enjoyed. I especially like your Primordial Thrull. Lose 3 life is a bit too much, but cool mechanic!
@Connor2001
I gave trophy to small text version. Tell me if you want to change that.
