Reactivation Challenge #50 **An Instrumental Piece - Band Contest**
"Years ago a smith created an amazing contest, then another and another. Each new contest more amazing than the last. Eventually someone made what many deemed, the greatest contest OF ALL TIME!! Countless Entries were made, so it would take months to judge... or so it seemed. The community patiently waited for an answer that would never come as it's creator vanished mysteriously without a trace from the pages of history. It was then that Tomigon joined forces with Corwinnn and they formed The Cardwatch. This merry Band of Misfits vowed never again would this happen, and thus the Reactivation Challenge was born!"

You have to create a card that has some relevance to band.
This contest will be judged by me, my band teacher and some of my band mates."

Your task is to create a card or cards that have some relevance to musical instruments. For example, Goblin War Drums would qualify because it has the word drums in the name. Lets see how creative you guys can get!

It's a card I made for the Album cards contest by urtar370. It's based on the song Save Yourself by Breaking Benjamin.
Everyone:
I'll allow cards based on songs, but please guys, please specify this when you submit your entries just like Daedalus did! I will edit the rules to allow these types of cards. Thank you for your submission Daedalus!
I am using Rehearse by @KrampisZman
Song "The Soulforged" tells about a character from the Dragonlance universe, a frail yet aspiring wizard named Raistlin Majere. The track is performed by a German metal band called "Blind Guardian."
VORACITY - by Myth & Roid

@Temurzoa while personally I think your silverbordered card is great, I can't allow it due to the original judge of this contest's own rule of 'no joke cards allowed.' I will favorite though for your trouble and time for creating it, but unfortunately this was an original rule of this contest. Im sorry man!
Fall in the Dark - by Shibayan ft. Yana

Tubad!
@sanjaya666 yup, that technically counts since its of a song! Never heard of ShibayanRecords before, I'll have to check that link out, thanks!
tried to connect everything as much as I could, but could not find art other than harps so yeah HARPS
A common theme in musician cards is the gradual addition of counters, like verse counters in the custom mechanic Rehearse. I wanted to emulate this more like Cumulative Upkeep, only the musician doesn't blow up when they stop. Peepo utilizes the Ritual mechanic, which can be used in a myriad of sets and ways.
For a very important date?
Here's a random bard I made. It doesn't really showcase music in my mind, but it's still a cool card.
All song enchantments will have the following:
(At the beginning of your upkeep, choose a mode that hasn't been chosen. If you can't sacrifice (Cardname).)
Please tell me what you think about it!
Edit: Granted, I never actually got around to submitting anything other than the one I submitted.
