Co-op
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/faceless-martyr
This is what the card creator actually believes lol.
You know you'll think of this :P
I will shortly start to judge this contest but just slightly.
I will however not conclude the contest until next weekend so i will move the deadline to the 12th.
So you have one more week to submit new entries.
Have just started my master thesis project so my mind have been rather occupied the last week but now i am ready to present my conclusion.
First to the honorable mentions:
@sorinjace - Eldrox, the Fire King
Fire away!
@Lastjustice - Megaton MCX
Some minor writing errors but very Interesting concept.
@Tomigon - Who's the Best Santa?
I have read this card more times times than i have followers and it sill confuses me a bit. I love the "pseudo gambling" part of the card where you can offer better cards for a chance to draw cards.
Now for the top 5!
4th place:
@Lastjustice - It That Betrays No one
Yes Mammoth Kraken Angel thing, I will be your friend.
I'll assume that the controller choses whom gets control of this creature when multiple players are attacked. A good friend takes stand up for you, A great friends takes a bullet for you. A Mammoth Kraken Angel friend takes a nuke to the face for you and then procceds to take nukes for others. A truer hero has never been mentioned.
3rd place: @Faiths_Guide - Cleansing Constructs
The combination of surge and energy counters feels like they fit together perfectly in this card. Like said many times before, simple but elegant. effective and powerful. not too powerful though as it demands energy but that is a small price to pay for effectiveness.
2nd place: @TenebrisNemo - Barnett, the Challenger
Barnett is presented as a group hug card. However in a group hug situation the other play will when getting control of him try to get rid of him and thus preventing futher rivalry until he returns unless the other creature is dealt with before.
Where he shines however is in co-op. Here he will not be sent on some unnecessary suicide misson. Sharing is caring and when two players can effectively attack with the best creature from one of them during both of their combat steps there is alot of care to be taken.
So Barnett works well as a rival but really shines as a partner.
Winner of the group hug: @Tomigon - Gold Mine
I have found a gold mine and I am willing to share it with all of you but I alone have the efficiency to make more than just gold.
The gold mine gives all players an opportunity to gain extra man for a very small cost but for those with the synergy the gold mine gives so much more. This is an excellent and balanced card for group hug scenarios but the fun thing is that it is a monster in a planned co-op match where both teamates have decks with good ETB synergy. With it's upsides the mine can also be a little risky if played against the wrong deck, that is a deck that can destroy the mine when the valuable creatures are mining.
Winner of the Co-op: @TenebrisNemo - Amira, Daugther of Seas
Amira does not look like much at first sight however where many other co-op cards have a plain and simple benefit of just having a teammate. Amira demands a little more from both her controller and the teammate as her power lies in synergy.
"birds of a feather stick together" lies very true in Amira. If played together with a deck built around a dynamic play of non-creature spells she gives and is given a large benefit. She is also great against decks of similar style but that is more of a hidden potential more than a powerful counter.

Thank you all for your entries. It has been very interesting to see so many different interpretations of group hugs and co-op mechanics and abilities.
Thanks for hosting this contest! And yes, some cards were very confusing/difficult to understand!

For honorable mentions, I would like to choose @Faiths_Guide's Kita, Party Host!
So I took 3rd and got an HM? 4 favorites, @Jonteman93?
@Faiths_Guide - Kita, Party Host
Excellent card for a more chaotic form of group hug where everyone gets a piece of the cake. A cake which of course is baked from a specific hot recepie made by Kita's controller so that he or she gets the best slice.
As answer to your question Faith, HM gives a favorite of my choice and 3rd place gives 3 favorites of your choice.
So you have 4 but 3 to choose how you want
(Just FYI on Kita, you don't get to pick "a slice." As they are shuffled and chosen face down, nobody knows what white elephant present they'll get until it's opened.)
Cool! Congrats other @Winners and other @Mentionables. Thanks for the contest!
Fave this, this, and anything else from here?
Cool, just clarifying XD
Since I won the 2nd place from group hug and the 1st place from co-op, do I have a total of... 10 favorites plus 2 to gift others? Whoah!
I would like you to follow @Elmariachi17.
My choice of a honorable mention would be @Gelectrode's Faceless Martyr.
@Gelectrode - Faceless Martyr
A really flavorful and legit protection card in black that let you water down removal spells and/or increase the power of removal spells when the boardstate is correct.
In terms of group hug, The martys is more like an anti-group hug which in its own way can be seen as a kind of group hug. "group slap?"
I want to play this and slap all my friends. I just need to find some friends first...
