Arcane Tour! Week Two - Alara! Alara. A world once divided into five shards, but which has since become fused together. Alara is most known for its 3 color shards. So, naturally, your challenge is to make two balanced, color-pie-appropriate 3 color cards! The five shards of Alara are as follows (and the colors are the order they should be in your cards' mana cost): - Bant - Green-White-Blue - Esper - White-Blue-Black - Grixis - Blue-Black-Red - Jund - Black-Red-Green - Naya - Red-Green-White Guidelines You must make two tri-color creature cards. One of them should be an uncommon (Skyward Eye Prophets, Wooly Thoctar) and one should be a rare or above (Sphinx Sovereign, Thraximundar). Unlike Week 1, you are not required to commit to a shard. Your uncommon can be Bant and your rare can be Jund. THESE CARDS SHOULD BE APPROPRIATELY BALANCED, FOR THEIR RARITY AND IN GENERAL. No uncommons that have ridiculous abilities, or cards that create 20/20 tramplers for 3 mana. This contest will close on Friday, December 7th. Good luck to all!
@TezzeretofCarmot21 Now I really want to try and invent a balanced three-drop that has some convoluted way to summon / become a 20/20 creature with trample. I probably can't, but it's still worth thinking about.

Good job to all who entered!

There it is. Creature is 3 mana. If you try hard enough, you get an at least 20/20 with trample
