A New Stance (closed)

So I've been playing with a new mechanic. If people remember the flip mechanic (not the transform mechanic from innistrad and Shadows over Innistrad) from many many moons ago it had cards flip upside down to change their abilities.

Example: image

So I decided to try a sort of different take on this mechanic. I've coined it, the Stance mechanic.

The basic idea is that a creature or equipment artifact (or perhaps another type of permanent) changes its abilities from one to another for a small mana cost. Flavorwise this is to represent switching one's style of battle or use of a weapon to get a different effect.

I'll provide some examples below:

Some rules for the contest:

#1: The card must use the Stance mechanic or something that affects the stance mechanic of creatures or equipment.
#2: No more than 3 entries per account.
#3: Please no joke cards.
#4: Final date of submission will be 3/26/17 at midnight EST (if i get only a few entries I will extend this date).

What I'm looking for:
#1: Thoughtful use of the mechanic.
#2: Competent cards with good spelling and grammar.
#3: Relatively balanced effects.
#4: Pleasing artwork.

Rewards: My three favorite cards will be favorited, I will follow your cards, and I will add a comment to your card saying that it won this contest. These won't be ranking , you either win or you don't.

Best of luck to all of you, I look forward to seeing your submissions.

    So far I've found the only way to make a flip card is to template part of it, save the image, template the other part, save that image, then use picture editing software on it and the picture so it's properly oriented in both directions. Then upload it as a Full Art Token. It's quite a process and still doesn't come out right but as close as I've been able to make Cardsmith do it.

    Finding the right art is the challenge on this, at least for me.

    @Biblio4 Well, I know what I'm spending the next three hours doing.

    @Biblio4 you do not need to make a flip card or a transforming card. You can do as I did my examples and create a line to separate the two abilities.
