I saw the sign!
Once again it's time of year when my people are born, the Leos. Thought I'd make a card toward that and a contest.
Obviously we can't all be born during this time.... but you are free make a card represent your sign thematically. You can make any kind of card, long as it captures and the theme and feel of your sign. If you don't feel like using western zodiacs, I will also accept if you want pick your Eastern Zodiac as Lastjustice is an equal opportunity star gazer. (Such as mine is Year of the Ram/Sheep.) If you choose make cards for Zodiacs you aren't...thats fair game as I won't be demanding proof either way. (or just feel like making ones for multiple signs.)
- This contest will lasts until August 23rd since that's end of Leo season heh. I will judge sometimes after then.
- Make the best card you can, keep text off the walls, and other things that come across as careless.
- I will accept up to 5 entries, but feel free make more if you're like I'm doing a full dozen. I will favorite the entire set if they're good.
Prizes- 5 favorites of your choosing for first, 4 for second, 3 for 3rd.
I typically favorite any entries I like even if you don't win.Have fun, and I hope see plenty of entries.

First entry
I decided to the signs of my brothers and I; Capricorn, Libra, and Gemini.
@Pepperoni Well if someone wants use that, I'd just ask them include a bit of info with it, as it's not something I'm familiar with.
I love it, but after reading some studies, it seems to be just as accurate as a zodiac
Representing my Gemini (European) and Dragon (Chinese) signs.

Based off of my Chinese Year
I'm alittle busy, but I promise knock out judging in next couple days.
3rd place @ThatOneCat (3 favorites of your choosing.)
I feel like you went a unique direction with this. Scorpios are supposed be charming sonuvaguns so makes sense they can seduce people on to their side. It captures the theme of the sign nicely.
2nd @TenebrisNemo (4 favorites of your choosing.)
Captures the theme of rats being crafty, and is a quite playable card. I could see him being having a following in commander if he were printed. I'd seen this card before, I'm surprised I didn't already have it favorited. I will be on my list now.
1st @EternalWolf88 (5 favorites of your choosing.)
You went the extra mile and combine both zodiacs and even remembered to give the heads their own names. Powerful, but high cost, so it's balanced. I could see them appearing in the 99 of many commander dragon decks.
Honorable Mention
@The-DM (1 favorite of your choosing.)
I really like your giant chicken avatar. It's a fun tribal commander.

I like what you were trying to do. You need to do some minor tweaks I'd probably picked for a place. Giving your opponent the ability to choose their own separate modes is too dangerous and could often result in them getting the better of the cards without paying any mana. You need so your opponent and you get the same modes. Imagine you pick flash in spirit tokens, and they just opt to tap them down. You opt to tap down two targets and they just untap them. You would always be on the losing side of the exchange. The core concept was solid though, so you desire some attention for thinking outside of the box on how capture the theme.
On side note I will be favoriting all entries to the contest since I dragged my feet on this. It's the least I can do. I hope you had fun in anycase until the next one.
