Now, onto the results!
(In no particular order)
1/4 point for @Decaldor with Hyjack Pathfinder:
What a cool card! The activated ability would probably be written "{t}: The next time you would exert another creature, exert Hyjack Pathfinder instead." This card is really cool, lots of ingenuity and well designed. The reason this couldn't get 1st-3rd is because it's not in the right colors. Black or Green shouldn't have vigilance, and the effect feels more White anyway. Still cool! Congrats!
1/4 point for @pstmdrn with Hyjack Looter:
Oh how I wanted to give this one a place! Should be an uncommon for complexity, but the real reason this only got the "honorable" is because it says "draw then discard" instead of the other way around. Red (mostly) discards first, then it draws! You're probably thinking Faithless Looting but I'm thinking Rummaging Goblin and other more recent cards. It would also help balance here. Sweet card though, congrats!
1/4 point for @ASubtleGhost with Cackling Horde:
This one is a little jumbled and too complex. You're trying to do too many things at once. Has a bunch of cool stuff going on though, so, congrats!
The Podium:
Third Place:
1/2 point for @Gelectrode with Hyjack Spirit-Rouser:
Yeah, Gelectrode entered! Cool card dude! Only problem I have is that, even at mythic, this thing is too cheap. Just cast it for {b}{b}{r} and get all the "Hyjacks" back from your grave to your hand and a 3/2 to boot, with a huge bonus for and additional {x}. Compared to other cards like Gravedigger etc. it feels a bit too powerful. Awesome card though! Congrats!
Second Place:
3/4 point for @Credius with Hyjack Spearbreaker:
This probably would've been better at {2}{b}{r}, but it still feels very appropriate. It's pretty balanced and very reasonable from a design stand point. I like it a lot, congrats!
First Place:
1 point for @TenebrisNemo with Battle Hardened Hyjack:
Honestly, I don't know why I liked this one so well. I don't think it's the best design here, but it just seems so cool! Mechanics and art are really great together. Maybe some Black, but not really necessary. I enjoyed this one. Congratulations!
