1st: 1 favorite of his or her choice (at my discretion), and a token of them in this set - http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Faiths_Guide/sets/5502
Some of you may not have been informed (or noticed), but I favorite only the cards that have
won contests I've (co)hosted, this makes "Faiths_Guide Faves" very rare... I do make
supplemental faves with my @jd_artwork account though.
THE END DATE is Midnight on the 31st of December (PST). Happy Smithing!

Here's a card anyway.
Cards with basic land subtypes won't be valid entries. Legendary doesn't change that.
Since your land isn't realistic, it doesn't pass rule 6. Purple mana is the issue here.
I get to offer a bonus prize for 1st-3rd place courtesy of @murkletins!
Nice!
Also doesn't work - technically. Mana of a chosen color doesn't have a basic land type association. However, I can't argue with your original point.
Thanks for your submissions. Incorrect frames (gold, legendary, etc.) might hurt your score!
The Citadel's wording is outdated in regard to mana pool. It should say that they lose unspent mana.
Entry 1... unlimited manna, but you need to tap your creatures to get it.
Thanks for your entry! I left you some feedback on Imerian Colony in its comment section
Awesome thanks for the heads up! I’ll redo the Citadel with the new wording (glad it changed tbh the old one was kinda clunky). I’ll also probably remake Fragrant Springs with the correct border specifically for the contest but still have it be my old submission
