You Just Killed Me With My Own Creature. O_O *HiddenCircuitChallenge*
Hullo, all!
Welcome to You Just Killed Me With My Own Creature, a contest for cards that interact with which player controls certain permanents (??? How to phrase that...). I love cards that do that. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE them.
For example, if you'll look at my Theos: the Gods Reborn set (see how I snuck in an advertisement there?), you'll see the Negotiate mechanic, which creates colorless Coin artifact tokens. You can exchange control of X coins and a nonland permanent with cmc X or less with target player. Or, ooh, the Exchange mechanic on Spirit Chief by BradXMagic (I don't know if it's on any other cards). Stuff like that just fascinates me.
Anyhoo, the rules:
-3 entries max per smith
-Original cards only. However, if you have a card that you think is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, I'll overlook it.
-No nudity, swearing, etc.
-Only serious cards. No joke or un-cards.
-No existing MTG card images, please.
-You can edit your entry as many times as you want as long as the contest is going on.
-Please, please, please use correct MTG language and general grammar. It really bugs me when you get a card that's, like, "pay too lives u get a card." (Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but still.)
-Your card(s) must have to do with gaining/exchanging/losing control of permanents, not players or anything else. Any card type will do. Whatever your diabolical little minds can think of.
Other than than, feel free to ask questions.
Judging:
I will be judging your cards on creativity, originality, utility, and realistic-ness (??). Everybody, not just the winners, will get feedback on their cards.

Everybody ready? Set? CARDSMITH!

And this one (I feel) is absolutely perfect...
At least in it's custom card set:

Commented on Who's Who's. Commented on Eternities War.

Let me know if it doesn't.
The best way is to always leave a comment on each card you make. That way people can respond to your comment and Disqus will pop a little notification up for you!
Maybe I will make a Disqus account, I haven't decided.

;D
I'd love for someone in WOTC to do something like that and for no one to notice before it got printed.
I could imagine hiding it in something like "Killemall, the Infinite Crusher" before some people notice!
Is this the sort of thing you're looking for? It's not exactly the same, but I thought you might like it.
