  Hope you like it Also, I'm glad you share my enthusiasm for flavor text. Always try to cram those into the card if possible. (Also I found an exclamation point followed by a full stop. Please overlook this silly mistake, I have no patience for a full redo, thanks )

  Is there a policy on cycling and similar mechanics that say "draw a card" in reminder text?

  @AustinSmith - no policy as such. Depends on how integral it feels to the card as a whole.

  @TheAcidicSniper - there's still a couple of days left. Plenty of time!

  Not necessarily made for the contest, but the stars did align quite nicely, so why not make it an entry!

  Here are my entries! I made these cards relatively simple while still providing good gameplay opportunities.

  Changed my final entry. If you want me to send in something a bit more, well, family friendly, then do let me know.

  Made for the Mechanic Synergy Contest, but just realized that it works perfectly for this as well. https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/commune-with-madness-1

  Woah, that's a lot of last-minute cards.
  
  This contest is now closed for entries. There are a lot of cards to get through and I've got a really busy weekend so I probably won't be able to get results out until some time next week. Watch this space!

  Hi everyone. Here are the results. This was a tough one to call and the top 10 to 12 cards were very difficult to separate. On a different day with a different judge the results might be very different. Where things were pretty much equal between two cards, I took little things like spelling, grammar, templating, etc. into account to make a decision. There were also a couple of instances of otherwise good cards that perhaps didn't sync the flavour together between card name, art and effect or where there was a question mark over balance. And of course, as mentioned right at the beginning, solid commons and uncommons were always going to catch my eye.
  
  Honourable Mentions
  Greenhome Stalker by @alchemist
  Muse by @AustinSmith
  Acorn's Prophecy by @Tomigon
  
  
  3rd Place
  Veracious Parley by @ManaChrome
  
  We don't see enough parley and this makes good use of it in a very fun card.
  
  2nd Place
  Cartographer's Insight by @KalamMekhar
  
  A very clean, solid and simple design. Great choice of art and the card name pretty much tells you what the effect will be before you read it. Not flashy or super exciting but it doesn't need to be. A really nice common.
  
  1st Place
  Azorius Interrogator by @TenebrisNemo
  
  This was a fantastic early entry that remained my number 1 choice throughout the challenge. Very clean and solid. This thing practically oozes flavour. Narrow, sure, but in the context of the intended format it's a very nice effect.
  
  So I believe the points are as follows:
  
  @TenebrisNemo - 1 point
  @KalamMekhar - 3/4 point
  @ManaChrome - 1/2 point
  @Tomigon - 1/4 point
  @AustinSmith - 1/4 point
  @alchemist - 1/4 point
  
  I assume that's correct, @Corwinnn?
  
  Also, winners hit me up with which cards you'd like faved.
  
  Thanks everyone for your entries!

  Sweet victory! Thank you for this challenge, @Animist. Once again, I also want to congratulate the other winners and honorable mentions as well.
  
  Please fave any five cards of mine which you personally like.
  
  The points are correct, by the way!
