Not In This Colour
This is my fourth contest, I think. And now, the contest is to create a coloured card with a mechanic that doesn't usually appear in that colour. For example:
Embalm in black
Retrace in blue or white
Unearth in green or white
Amass in green or white
Exalted in black or red
Dash in green or blue
Entries are not limited to those particular mechanics. Your entry can feature any mechanic.
Rules:
Old cards are allowed.
No joke-unglued cards.
No colourless cards (because that defeats the purpose of the contest.)
You may enter up to five cards.
Prizes:
1st place: 4 favourites of your choice and a follow
2nd place: 3 favourites of your choice and a follow
3rd place: 2 favourites of your choice
In addition, there will be another prize... for the person with the mechanic which seems most out of place in its new colour. Yes, there's a prize for a colour bend. The winner of this category will get 2 favourites of their choice and a follow.
If you win and I'm already following you, then you get an extra 2 favourites of your choice. I am following 86 people, so it might be necessary.
Contest ends around the end of April, the 25th, perhaps. Happy cardsmithing, and may the best unnaturally coloured card win!

Vigilance isn't a black ability

Flying and vigilance aren't really common in green.
Neither are sacrifice for damage/life loss effects
(At least Mono Green).
Enrage has only appeared on white, red, and green cards.
Returning creatures to their owners' libraries isn't a black thing (since it prefers to just deal with things directly).
Taking control of creatures isn't a white ability
Well, this contest hasn't gotten many entries (and I'm late judging), but here it is:
In 3rd place is @ChuckTesta with Ancestral Altosaur.
ChuckTesta, you get 2 favourites of your choice.
In 2nd place is @Abu_Jafar with Vigilant Moss Dragon.
Abu_Jafar, you get 3 favourites of your choice and a follow.
In 1st place is @SpellPiper2213 with Mothbite.
SpellPiper, you get 4 favourites of your choice. Since I'm already following you, you get 2 extra favourites also.
There weren't enough entries for the colour bend prize.
Happy Smithing!
