Swift Challenge #1: Gods (closed for entries)
So I was thinking that a good way to see actually how good people are with using their creativity and the resources applenty around them to create magnificent cards, was by making challenges that left little time to either process of creating a card, be it looking for artwork or looking for a balance of abilities and effects.
So here it is, my first swift challenge.
General Rules of Swift Challenge:
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
- From the moment we have 5 participants, you all have exactly 1 week to create a balanced card.
- Cards used for the challenge may only be made within that frame of one week (trust me, I'll check the datestamps)
- The usual rules of keeping it clean-ish (no profanity, pornography, etc)
- All cards will get a favorite
Winner gets: 5 additional favorites of choice and a trophy
Second place gets: 3 additional favorites of choice

I don't see the problem. It's similar to the Amonkhet gods cycle, and not the Hour of Devestation gods.

we don't have 5 contestants yet. It's a really nice card, but he'll have to repost it with the appropriate timestamp at the time
@Death_Methods is correct, I just wanted to start when there were enough people on board. The "swift" part is because you only have 1 week to come up with something which starts when we have 5 participants. I thought that rule was clear enough, maybe I should rephrase it or something?
Also decided that perhaps the prizes are a bit low, so altering them to appeal more.
First place: @sanjaya666 with Ap the Nightstalker

Even though you were really early with this card, it still managed to impress me the most with its rather hard rule, it's extremely useful ability and the fact that it would be fun to have in a "monarch game". Aside from that, it fits amonkhet perfectly and it's actually very balanced.
Second Place: @Death_Methods with Het' Ha'eggel, The Golden Calf

My only issue with this one was how the hell I'd be able to pronounce that name without biting my tongue if this were a real card, lol. Aside from that, the card really felt to belong in amonkhet, the artwork is exquisite and the card truly is well balanced.
Third Place: @Serpentail with Anoo the horrible
It has a few format issues and it's not exactly the most well balanced on out there, but despite it all, it fits amonkhet and though it's ability is kind of easy to use and unlike some of the actual amonkhet gods it's actually useful in general, it also makes the card somewhat overpowered, still neat anyway xD
@sanjaya666 , @Deaths_Methods , @Serpentail you can list which cards you want favorited and @sanjaya666 can expect his trophy xD
EDIT: @zizick123 , @Triple-D could you both pm me the proper link to your cards for your favorite
