Let's Transfigure! **Flash Contest**
Hello everyone, I have a short contest challenge for you all to enjoy. I got the idea for this contest from our own cardsmith @ThatOneCat. I will cut to the chase!
I would like to see you guys create cards using the transfigure ability. Yes this is a real ability, but was only found on one card, which was in future sight:
Here is a link to wikipedia for more information on Transfigure if you need it:
https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Transfigure
The point of this contest is, I just simply want to see you guys create cards using the transfigure mechanic!
Rules:
1.) Old cards are allowed, if any actually exist, I'd love to see them!
2.) No maximum amount of entries, old or new. Go ham. Yes, I said ham.
3.) Please credit the artist.
4.) No magic the gathering art that exists on a card already please, unless it was already made before this contest.
5.) Rules subject to change.
6.) Cards can be of any type. I didn't see that Transfigure was exclusive to anything, except that it was printed on a black creature. Be creative.
7.) Deadline for this contest is Friday, August 30th, 11:59 pm est
8.) Have fun!
Prizes:
3rd place will receive 3 favorites from me.
2nd place will receive 4 favorites from me.
1st place will receive 5 favorites from me and a follow if I'm not following you already. If I'm following you already, I will give you 6 favorites instead.
I'm not expecting a ton of entries for this contest as this is such a short contest, but if there are enough entries, there will also be honorable mentions. If you happen to get an honorable mention (or two), each honorable mentioned card will receive a favorite.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Happy cardsmithing. - sj

Would this work?
Aight! I'll have some more traditional entries coming soon, just in case
I'm relatively certain that your best option would be to change the ability's function slightly, though I can't think of a way to do this that's definitively better than any other.

Whenever you transfigure a creature, while you're searching your library, you may put ~ from your library onto the battlefield.
It's probably worth having a cost since a single transfiguration could pull four of these out of your deck.
3rd place is @Hykeru with https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/metamorphooze
Congrats! You earned 3 favorites. I thought this was very clever. Please list your favorites you want here or in pm, depending if this is open or not.
2nd place is @SteampunkDragon with https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/ozkars-deathshifter
Congrats! You earned 4 favorites. Why doesn't this creature already exist in magic the gathering, seriously? Well, anyhow, please list your favorites you want here or pm them to me, depending on if this contest is still open for comments or closed by @Corwinnn.
1st place is @ThatOneCat with L'Pizx, Death's Matron!
I didn't find the link to the card on mtgcs, but congrats! You earned 6 favorites of your choice (since I already gave you a follow.)
To each participant, thank you for your entries, and I hope to see you in my next contest! @Corwinnn, can you please close this contest? Thanks!
