    This contest kind of got buried, but I'll try to judge it now. I was a bit unclear with rules; I meant a specific story event not just a top down design. But that's fine, it's my fault explaining it badly.

    I'm going to give the win to @bnew07 for Return of the Erstwhile. (I know they won my last contest too, I swear it's not a conspiracy). It really feels Golgari to me and reminds me of Kin-Tree Invocation, one of my all time favorite cards. It also feels like a Tarmogoyf but fairer. So good job.

    I'm going to quickly go through the other cards submitted. These are my first impressions, so I might miss things, but I'll do my best:

    @FaithsGuide
    Revoke the Mighty seems like a fair card that could have a lot of nuance while being played. It also has a nice flavor. The one place where it lacks is probably originality (see Citywide Bust) but that's minor.
    Colonist Venture is definitely top-down and, like Rescue from the Underworld, uses that to have an interesting play experience (would be my guess.) I think I already looked at this for my Common Challenge.

    @pstmdrn
    Alpine Trail - seems like a cool card, but I feel like it would be a bit powerful. Maybe fetch a basic. The effect is interesting and certainly evocative of a trail.

    @bnew07's other cards
    Siege of Eiganjo is definitely interesting. I have no idea what the Siege of Eiganjo is storywise, but a siege isn't really defensive.
    Orazca, the Golden City may or may not be balanced. Honestly I don't know without playing it; seems like a snazzy design though.

    @shadow123
    Innistrad's Silver Moon is also an interesting design that captures the essence of Innistrad for sure. The template's a bit off though, as is the powerlevel. Huntmaster of the Fells triggers every turn, for example.

    @Corwinnn
    That Moment When - I don't know what to think of this card. That's not a bad thing, I just have no idea if it costs G or 6GG to be fair. Or how you use it in a deck (though to be fair I am definitely Timmy/Spike so there's that) I'd have to test this card to get a good handle on it, though it seems like it's interesting.

    Anyway thanks everyone for participating and sorry for being so late to judge. Maybe I'll make another contest someday, it was fun.
