Create Your Own Ability Challenge
Hi! It's been so long since I have created a tournament. I miss Mtgcardsmith so much! It's super fun to be back, with all the new members and great cards. I may not be a good card maker but I've always liked the idea of making a contest for people to create their own abilities. With saying that, lets jump on in. This contest will be about creating your own ability that fits the cards you make and like. You can use other peoples abilities but make sure to tag them. Anything is fine, and the people with the 3 most creative cards will win. This contest will last about a month ending on 9/20/17. For example, I have a few cards I made: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/phyrexian-perfection?list=user and https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/bulbous-strangegrowth?list=user . (Give them a like;).
RULES

Thanks! Have fun!!!

Be patient it's only been a day. I'd also recommend revising the outline to have each part more distinct and clearly stated.
The following contest is a great example for a contest template. In addition, it covers most questions people will have. (Feel free to copy the template to improve yours!)

I'd move the contest specific rules above the other rules though.
No problem, it's just important to write it in a way that people can glance instead. That way it's communicated without scrolling.
I'll send you a PM with an example so I don't fill the thread.

Smart Smiths ( @ningyounk @Gelectrode @Beeswax @Platypusburger @Animist ), wording revision?
Counter strike (Whenever this creature is dealt combat damage, if the damage
is less than its toughness, it deals damage to the source equal to the difference.)
Does it work?
The last ability on your card is essentially Frenzy 2.
But they'd need to have reminder text then as most people aren't familiar with frenzy.
Here is my first(?) entry. Sublime is obviously meant for five color decks, but to also be functional in even mono-colored decks. Working your deck around five colors gets you more value out of it, though you can still get playability in mono-colored since it also takes in account spells played by opponents (The sublime effect accounts for the spell itself. So this spell, unless Moonlaced, would do at least -1/-1).
While they're all awesome, the limit is still 3. XD

The first in a series of cards for a set I just started. Sort of cascade adjacent.
Here is my second entry for this contest.

Unyielding (This creature can't be destroyed other than by having zero or less toughness.)
With other words, effects such as doomblade, Wrath of god and Deathtouch does not work.
No it isn't. Indestructible makes the creature unable to die from combat damage.
If I'm misreading something, I'd be thankful for clarification.
