Overcome this, Challenge
Don't know how well this will be received but it was a fun challenge that was pretty popular when I first started here. The idea is that I'm going to post a card that people will need to beat, and by beat I mean create a card that will take it out. Sometimes I may post restrictions like; it has to give you tempo, or must have lifelink, or can only contain prime numbers. After a few days I'll select a winner and post another card to beat (if enough people are interested).
You will be judged mainly on how realistic the card is, how well it does the job, and how creative it is. Bonus points awarded based on fluff, art, correct wording (as per wotc "standards"). Sure you can make a creature have first strike and the same power as the toughness as the monster you are trying to kill but where is the fun in that? Be creative with how you nullify the challenge.
So here's the first card...
Limitations
1. Your entry may not have a Black or Green color identity. (Reminder text doesn't count)
2. If the entry is a creature, must contain exactly 1 keyword ability (real or made up).
3. If not a creature, must keep Deathspore Ravager on the battlefield (but nullified in some way), or put him on the bottom of the owner's library.
Have fun, contest closes on monday and I will select a winner. Prizes to be determined vased on the number of entries (# of favs)

The following link can help you out to pink your card, and even show it on the forum.

Thanks for the entry though.

I figured this would work well as the threat comes from the abilities and to a lesser extent it's power/toughness. So I designed a card that "cantrips" whilst removing those aspects.
Decided to make a Spirit after playing some Bant spirits in Modern. It is nerfed by its lack of flying (which is bad in the spirits deck), although it could easily cost 4 (and at that point I'd add flying, but for the challenge restriction).
This one gets rid of the hexproof, the trample, and the pesky second line of ability, allowing you to chump it with your flashed-in spirit and then pick it off with ease this turn or the next.
