Using @TenebrisNemo's mechanic.

The rest will come at an unknown high noon.
I make most of my cards using magic set editor nowadays and post the sets to planesculptors, where Lorado was one of the featured sets.
I might enter. I'm a bit low on inspiration. I'm pouring all my mental power into selecting cards for Tribal Masters, a custom Masters Set I'm designing, right now.
It's ok! You can edit as much as you need to on the contest, we all make mistakes!
The Standoff mechanic is supposed to represent what happens in a real life standoff. As one man shoots, the others shoot as well. You never know who is going to take damage! (well actually you kind of do. Because it tells you in the mechanic ability). It also deals damage to the creature using the ability as well, so you can take out weak blockers, in exchange for having a weaker attacker.
