@mtgcardsmith, @Corwinnn Extension Announcement: I'm extending the contest for an extra day. It will be closing it at the end of tomorrow, July 21st. (Although late entries/revisions are accepted for as long as judging is ongoing!)
This has also been updated in the main description!
@saveria201 No problem, I understand that it's difficult especially at this time of year with kids being off school. (The contest is open to entries for longer due to late entries being allowed though, in the case you get spare time!)
Results Announcement: Time for the results to the contest. There have been a lot of cool entries!
I'd like to mention the card Soulforged Knight for having such an interesting mechanic at common rarity. This card pushes alternative costs at lower rarities in an interesting way!
Top Placing Cards:(Leave a comment or PM to confirm your prizes!) 1) @Gelectrode:Vastwood Primalist An interesting take on an idea that typically is done in less interesting ways. Only change I'd make is adding reminder text as mentioned in the comments. - 1 month of premium subscription. (Delayed Activation!)✔ - A card of your choice will be featured on the MTGCardsmith Homepage. ✔ - Follow from us. (Already Followed!)✔ - 3 favorites of your choice. ✔ - Your choice of Honorable Mention. ✔ 2) @TenebrisNemo:Mermaid of Currents A very interesting idea that we can see being implemented in future sets. I'm imagining versions of this involving -1/-1 and/or poison counters in various ways. Only concern is the heavy colored mana, although it's too good to not mention here. - Follow from us. (Already Followed!)✔ - 3 favorites of your choice. ✔ 3) @ASubtleGhost:Unreliable Spy A simple, but clever card that I can see pushing blue in new directions. Excellently done theme-wise! - 2 favorites of your choice. (Already Followed!)✔
Wow! With all of those amazing entries, I thought I would never win!
For honorable mentions, I would like to highlight @Brainifyer's Flying Whales. As a control player, I think it would be very useful in multiple formats, especially Pauper.
I do have a lot of favorites from you right now, so I will pass on the favorites prize to @Brainifyer. You get to pick!
As for the featured card, I will need to ponder my options. I will contact @mtgcardsmith when ready!
Comments
I personally don't play pauper, so it's difficult for me to really understand power levels for it, so sorry if they're a little overpowered
I enjoy it as it's a great way to get into the game on a low budget or just try out MTG for the first time.

That's some wild artwork. Have to save this one!
For those Delver/Control decks. But mostly Delver.
For token decks.

Thoughts?
Thanks :P
Soulforged may be a bit too good at common. I dunno, alternate ways to cast are difficult for me to balance.
Sweet, another way to play freebies. This time's Wheel of Fate and Pact of the TItan.
