Whenever There's Trouble
One of my favorite metal bands, AS I LAY DYING, has recently released a single, "My Own Grave" and it has been on loop for me. The song hasn't even been out for long and it is already well over 500,000 views on youtube! I love this song, and can't wait for the rest of the album when it is released.
Their singer had gotten into trouble, and had reunited with his band AS I LAY DYING. I personally am psyched for this, not everyone is though. I believe people have the power to change and people giving people chances happens more often then people realize. That is why there still should be hope in humanity for all you that despise society (if there is anyone who does that is!)
That being said, I thought that I would make an instant or sorcery contest. All this is about is just instant or sorcery spells that deal with creatures on the battlefield, in some way shape or form. The catch is, they have to LEAVE AND COME BACK. So if you want it to be exile then return, or persist, or morbid, etc. etc. any way you would like or make a new ability, that is cool too. Extra chances of winning this contest if you make the creature(s) come back stronger in some way.
Thats it! Here is an example:
Rules:
You can drop any number of entries.
You can drop only instant or sorceries. Nothing else please.
New or old cards accepted.
3rd place gets 3 favorites
2nd place gets 4 favorites
1st place gets 5 favorites and if enough entries, can choose an honorable mention. honorable mentions get their entry followed and 1 favorite of their choice.
This is a flash contest, so it will only be open for a week. Have fun and remember, happy cardsmithing! - sorinjace

Are entries like the three below where the creature doesn’t come back as a creature/is only strongly incentivized to come back allowed? I know these may be bending the rules, but I think they are within the spirit of the contest rules but want to check with you first.
Only instance of a spell doing what you asked for I've made.
The link takes you to a page thats probably 6 years ago. Just bumping the contest and reminding you where the influence of this contest came from.
3rd place: @Faiths_Guide with Roguish Act
It's sneaky it's fun, and I like that it's a rogue tribal card AND that it is blue and black. Plus the art is dramatic and well done. Nice card @Faiths_Guide! You earned 3 favorites of your choice, please post them here or pm me.
2nd place: @bnew07 with Ransom
This was so close to being in 1st place. I loved how there was an exchange in this card for the creature to be able to come back. Makes me think of As I Lay Dying's position in the metal scene currently actually. Congratulations @bnew07! You earned 4 favorites of your choice! Please post them here or pm me.
1st place: @Lastjustice with Dramatic Exit
This was THE card. Hands down. Name fits it all. For any metal fans out there that was around for when the vocalist of As I Lay Dying got in trouble, it certainly was a DRAMATIC EXIT. The tightness of this card, the effect and bringing the creature back from exile, it has it all. Nice pick for this contest, @Lastjustice! you earned 5 favorites of your choice! Please post them here or pm me.
Thats it for the Whenever there's Trouble contest, thank you for participating and congratulations to the winners. See you in the Summer Cartoons Challenge thats going on all summer long.
Happy Cardsmithing! - sorinjace
