Lizzu, of War and Ninjas
Beautiful cities, tall and wide
An unforgettable landscape of beautiful nature and life
But underneath, there is an underworld of death and decay, the polar opposite of the realm above.
And that dark and dreary land is seeping into the plane of Lizzu to corrupt and make home to the horrors beneath.
Welcome to Lizzu, a plane of War between Good and Evil and the strange wonders that entail.
This plane is based off of enemy colors, each color pair having a Positive version and a a negative version, each side fighting for domination of both realms.
So, what is Lizzu supposed to really be? I want Lizzu to be the better Kamigawa block. Asian fantasy, Ninjas, Samurai, Monks, and all of that, but with different mechanics and fine tuning the ones Kamigawa block introduced, specifically Ninjitsu and Bushido being my personal favorites.
So, now for the actual contest:
There are 4 categories for judging, each category will have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. No card can be in the same category and each winner will receive prizes bast on the place they are in.
1st place: I follow your account (if not already and favorite 10 cards, 5 of them your choice and the rest of them my personal favorites.
2nd place: I follow your account (if not already) and favorite 7 cards, 4 of them your choice and the rest my personal favorite.
3rd place: I favorite 5 cards of your choice.
The Categories:
- Flavor
- The most well thought out and beautiful (in their own way) cards in terms of flavor. Bonus points if you use the card to make a lore or plot of events. Even more if other players use them.
- Mechanic Usage
- The most interesting and best uses of a mechanic in the card. Only mechanics that make sense in this theme will be entered.
- Bulk/Intro pack Rares
- Every block needs them, not everyone loves them, but I personally do. The most balanced card that deserve the rare slot that won't cost more than 2 dollars.
- Best Commons and Uncommons
- Alongside the crazy and wacky mythics and the pure value or bulk rares I'd like to see a couple commons and uncommons, each at their respected power level.
Rules and Restrictions:
- You may use old cards, but they must fit the Asian fantasy theme. Also, if an Old card is tied with a New card, the New card by default will win, so submit at your own risk.
- Your first 4 submissions will be judged, however if a card after is requested to be a part of the lore I will consider it.
- You may base your card off of another somebody else made or the lore of it, but no plagiarizing of any kind. All of your cards will automatically not be judged.
The deadline is at March 10th. If it is moved you will all be notified in the comments. Too all that participate good luck, and may the best Smiths win!

Oldy, fitting the last category
I have a feeling exalted could maybe be implemented in this set.

Yes, but remember that new cards are preferred.
I'm confused about what is being asked for in this contest, are mono colors okay or do you only want multicolor enemy pairs?
Are you even still alive?
He's probably inactive or something.
He's only been gone for three days.
