Let's Begin with honorable mentions. The first one is.... Curse of the Parasitic Host!! I love this card, but again, I don't know how this card would work in a 1 V. 1, which is the only reason this card is not in the top three. It should have some sort of fail safe, so that when there is only two players left, the enchantment is sacrificed or something like that. So congratulations @bnew07! You have earned a favorite!
The second honorable mention is also by @bnew07, with strength of the host. Again, Love the card, just not up to par with the top three, so you have actually earned two favorites.
The third honorable mention is Failing Evacuation by @TigerFang8.
This is a very interesting card, and isn't quite what I was looking for in this contest but I like it anyway. Congratulations, you have earned 1 favorite @TigerFang8.
The fourth Honorable mention is Kalani, Last Deity's Armor. I honesty didn't know what to think of this card when I first saw it. I actually had to read it a couple of times to actually understand what it did. To me it seems too easy to prevent the lose the game ability, which is why it is not in the top three. You get a favorite @TenebrisNemo.
The final honorable mention is @sorinjace with Talena, Hero of Ravnica. The way this card works, it makes it more likely that they will just ignore Lucy, and try to kill you normally, almost never triggering her lose the game ability. And @sorinjace posted late so he couldn't have placed in the top three. One favorite for you.
And now onto the top three! Starting with Third place we have Gan Ceann, the Headless! This card is amazing. The devils pact works perfectly for this contest and it is extremely hard to choose between an 8/9 with haste and trample on turn five that if killed wins you the game or a 6/7 with haste and trample but doesn't win you the game if killed. The only problem I have with this card is that you could have used Tribute on the card, instead of all the rules text. So congratulations @Ranshi922, you have won three favorites!
Coming in Second place we have Epic Confrontation! I love this card. I love attacking with buffed creatures, I love getting extra combat phases on my turn, and this card has it all. I think it should cost a little more mana, and should make you lose the game on your endstep, after all the attacking but other than that, this card is amazing. @BorosPaladin, you have won 4 favorites, congratulations!
In first place we have... Hero's Entrance! This card is exactly what I was looking for in this contest, Just like Epic Confrontation. It was a really close race between the two, and here we see the importance of crediting the artist, the reason Hero's Entrance beat out Epic Confrontation. So @fiskerton has won this contest and 5 favorites!
Yay! (I actually lost horribly because of Gan Ceann in a custom cube draft I hosted.) I played him and my friends all grumbled until one pointed out that he needed someone to deal 3 damage. So I attacked him to take him out. He played an instant dealing damage, and powering up his fire urchin enough to kill it. He then proceeded to quit the game claiming "This counts as a win for me."

Realized for the first card that Elgravenge would've died upon entering the battlefield, sorry about that.
