It's a relatively old card but it still qualifies.
Land-Swamp Waste
({t}: Add {c} or {b} to your mana pool)
{c}{b}, pay X life: Create a 1/2 Eldrazi Trader creature token with annihilator X.
The marketplace was left empty, with only a few
of Emrakul's mindless spawn to tell where the traders had gone.
First, honorables mentions:
@ElMagici for Saxan, The Bone Spear
The first time I saw that, I don't find the card very cool. But with a second appraoch, I think the card are good for a third place more than the others. If you want to have your 3/3 Ogre creatures, you pay the life to keep it . And you draw a card if you keep it. But you have to lose 6 life each turn to have your Ogres. But my opinion it's the others cards are more interesting than Saxan, and 3 3/3 Ogres with haste and a 4/3 with a drawing card ability is very powerful even for 6.
Interesting, but not enough.
@SteampunkDragon for Shadowsewn Riders:
A card with a nice design, a nice idea, but's just a little bit too expansive for me as a rare. It's a 5 Mana 3/3 and you have to pay 2 life for one +1/+1 counter. Depending of the number of life you paid you may have a 4/4 with 1 damage to the opponent or a 5/5 with 2 life lost to the opponent . But a 5/5 for a 5 CMC and 4 life seems too expansive for me as a rare, but I understand you don't have the same opinion as me. Maybe a uncommon for me . ( As the same of the 4 Mana 2/2 dealing 2 dame when it's attacking and it's an uncommon )
Two cards I really found pretty nice but not enough for the podium.
Third place go to:
@sorinjace for Soul Slaver:
Soul Slaver was a card I really like for the fitting on the color , a 5 CMC for a 4/4 Creature with a pacifist ability if you put collar counters on creatures. Fitting with the color.
Second place go to:
@ArmisJoe for Blood Contract
A great evolution of Sign In Blood, powerful as well but allowing a card advantage for opponent too. Nicely balanced , I love it ! And Griefsurge Lieutenant is a cool card too.
And.... the winner is ....
@TenebrisNemo for Tenebris, Who Was Nothing
An ancient card. I love it. Depending of the Nulber of cards of your hand, you can have a 1 CMC 5/5 . You may pay up tp 4 life to go for a 1/1 but you draw cards equal to the number of life paid.
It can be a huge creature , give a card avantage.... Really nice card, Tenebris , youwin this contest.
I really like Chapel Presence of Orzhova, but paying life don't apport any boost so I can't choose it.
Please send me in PM the cards you want faved.
Goodbye , and see you again to another contest !
