Build Me a Shrine
First time (basically) hosting a contest, but I was inspired by @Lujikul's An Offering to Be Made contest: http://forums.mtgcardsmith.com/discussion/4529/an-offering-to-be-made
Because their contest focuses on a rarely used, exclusively printed in Kamigawa block mechanic, mine does the same with: Shrines!
Here's their page and an example of one:
https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Shrine
So here are the rules:
1: New(ish) cards only. If you've happened to make one this year, I'll accept it, but try and be inspired by the contest!
2: No official WotC art. And please credit your artists. If you're having trouble finding the artist I'm happy to help, I've gotten pretty good at finding them.
3: Please have a version of the cards you make available on MTGCS. Other sites are fine if they format better for you, but I'd still like to be able to favorite it here.
4: No joke/Un-set cards.
That's it for the rules, feel free to post as many as you like!
First place receives four favorites of their choice
Second place receives three
Third received two
Honorable mentions will receive one as well.
I'll be favoriting all cards entered as well.
Contest ends first day of July.
EDIT: Updated prizes since there was a decent turnout.

Linked to the Gak of Game and Chaos.
If you don't know what Shrinecycling would be, you can discard it for 2 and tutor up a Shrine.
I decided to create a couple of shrines for the gods of my set. They don't show yet, because the focus of the story is on the new planeswalkers. Ok no one asked
I chose to make Shrines for the various gods of Dominaria.
Artist is Franklin Chan
Behold! A Shrine commander! And a good reason to run naturalize/mortify or something like that in any deck you play hahahahahahahahaha
Break The Unbreakable
Bump! Bump!
please feel free to make more cards.
Honorable mentions go to @RohanDragoon for The First Honden, @SteampunkDragon for Hoden of Brewing War, and @spookoops for their cycle of Dominaria shrines. You each get a favorite of your choice.
Third place goes to...
@Crabbycabbage for Hoden of Forgotten Gods (although your other card was also very interesting!) You get two favorites of your choice!
Second place goes to...
It's a tie! @DeepSky's Honden of Sacred Seed and @Tomigon's Honden of True Valor both made me super happy to see lesser known and underutilized mechanics be combined with this forgotten type of enchantment, and were both well-built cards. You each get three favorites of your choice!
And finally, first place goes to...
@ArmisJoe for Silaar's Undercroft. It managed to capture a flavor of its own within your own world, and it's an awesome and well-designed card. You get four favorites of your choice!
Everyone had great submissions, and there were some very hard calls. Those who have earned extra favorites, please post here, or message me directly here or on discord with links to the cards you'd like favorited. You can also message me if you'd like any additional feedback on your cards. Thank you all for participating!
