@Revan@Fantastickill7 Thanks, I'm pleased with that one. Probably should be a 3/3 or 2/3 in retrospect, given the strength of the abilities. It's not particularly targeted at any exile from graveyard mechanic, but it does play well with both delve and escape. I actually design a lot of my cards as cards I'd slot into one or the other of my commander decks. That one would be quite good in The Scarab God, which likes exiling creature cards from graveyards.
Haha it will likely take a few days, I'm going over everything in person with a few friends who are working on the final set as well, so we're making sure it's done the right way.
Phew. Finally finished the judging process and man oh man was it difficult to decide. We were scratching out heads trying to pick and choose the exact standings and it was incredibly close. A photo finish! Congratulations to the winners, and I'm so happy with all the submissions! Many of the cards that didn't quite make the top 10 are still being heavily considered and tested in the final version of the set. When its good and ready I'll be sure to make a post in the set forum showing off all the hard work everyone here put in!
------------ Number 3 ------------
Revinna of the Feywild - Mrbobblehead This fairy was dripping with flavor and function! It looked and felt the part of Feywild with just an amazing sense of mystery and mysticism. The abilities felt interesting and really pushed the concept of a fairy dance.
------------ Number 2 ------------
Spell Forged - Revan One of the cleanest cards out there. It does exactly what it says and feels like Relkan in functionality. This card ended up making it into the set the moment Revan forged it.
------------ Number 1 ------------
Domineering Sangromancer - SpellPiper2213 A flavor grand slam! This card perfectly encapsulated the Shadowfell mechanically while also mixing in deep lore from Trisenvell too. It was interesting to see a card that expressed the goals of both factions while still being strongly Shadowfell. It felt flavorful and functional, which led SpellPiper2213 to just make it to the top.
------------ Top 10 ------------
This top 10 list is in no particular order and shows off the best cards from the contestants. Domineering Sangromancer - SpellPiper2213 - As mentioned above this was a flavor bonanza. Revinna of the Feywild - Mrbobblehead - I'd love to play a game of commander with her! Spell Forged - Revan - It speaks for itself. Clean, Tidy, Spicy. Charune Paladin - Faiths_Guide - One of the best commons out there. Incredible work. Duke Golbrech Routermory - Faiths_Guide - Referencing a named character from the document. Immortal Revenant - Fallen_Lord_Vulganos - The mechanical symmetry of three felt cool as heck! Shadowfell Lich - SpellPiper2213 - This card was confident and clean. A bit overly strong, but tidy. Duel for the Throne - Fantastickill7 - So unbelievably high on flavor! Duchess Cathlynn of Montia - ArchieTaylor - A bit bendy with the color pie, but superbly flavorful. Chitara, Queen of Nykrodin - Fantastickill7 - This card looked and felt like Nykrodin without a doubt!
Anyone who created cards for the following factions: Shadowfell, Relkan, Feywild, Routermory, Serghol, Nykrodin, or Montia can send me a message for the participation follow prize.
Congratulations again to the winners, and thank you everyone who participated!

this was fun, even though I didn't do very many.
