The real reason I make competitions is because I secretly want to enter them myself. Obviously, I won't award myself a place, but here's what I think the perfect zombie card would look like. If you're watching WOtC, print this guy please!
Some tribes don't need +1/+1, they're big enough that it's really just win more. Dropping their big hitters a turn early is pretty good however. This also syncs with the Archons' theme of denying your opponent stuff.
I really like this guy. The addition of five colours in the text box is presumably a shout out to commander, but that's not really the part of the card that matters. This guy is like the super-Naban who doubles up activated and triggered abilities.
I know, another wizard card. They do have a really clear distinguishing theme, though: they like instants and sorceries. This card is just super fun. The counterintuitive addition to the mana costs of your creatures is perfectly counterbalanced by the really cool ability that really tells us about what the wizard tribe wants to do. Overall, this is a great wizard reward and a sweet build-around for a wizard deck.

That's actually a really cool concept! I love cards that can be either built around, or put into a tribal deck to spice it up. Great job!
As per usual, all the entries were great and have all got a favourite from me, but I had to choose three favourites.
