Counters contest
Dear cardsmiths. I really enjoy the creativity, you all show. That's why I'd like to present a new contest! It's all about the different counters, wich you all can find here:
https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Counter_(marker)/List_of_Counters
Since judging is always a tough job, I'll run this contest for a relatively short time and start judging may, 3rd 2018, so make sure you post your entries soon.
You're allowed to post as many cards as you like, but I prefer new cards. While judging, I'll take care of innovative ideas and flavorful cards, but don't forget about fairly correct templating, fitting artwork and appealing layout. Here are some examples of what I expect:
1st place may choose 5 favorites or a follow and 2 favorites.
2nd place may choose 4 favorites or a follow and 1 favorite.
3rd place may choose 3 favorites or a follow.
Honorable mentions may also choose a favorite.
Don't forget to claim your reward, after I announced the winners. Have fun!

Kill all the things with counters.
We should have special "counter tokens" for this.
Hopefully this counts. It isn't clear to me whether or not the card can have a new counter type.
I hope, running this contest for a little more than a week works, 'cause what I already see here tells me, even judging a small number of cards can be hard, when all entries are good...
You can argue that I could have just used +1/+1 counters instead, but I'll remind you that feather counters are more flavorful and lead to more rules confusion, which is always good.

Is this too many entries?

They're a reference to the various tutors. Red's only tutor was in unhinged sadly.
My first two are sort-of a dwarven tribal, and use mining counters:
My third entry uses pain counters (Which I would like to experiment with a little more).

Entry #3 (edited):
This is my masterpiece. When it dies, it comes back in a few turns. Vanishing and Suspend work beautifully together, creating a card that works elegantly with surprisingly few lines of rules text.
