Consider what Could Be (Fantabulous Prizes)
Oh jeez... it's been some time since I hosted a contest and I forget how to start them... Let's see...
This is a contest with the intent of text based cards. I want you to design cards that while they cannot be made properly, yet, on Cardsmith, are likely to come soon! I'm talking anything from simply aesthetic differences like the land frames, to planeswalkers with complex abilities and/or four.
There will be a handful of categories, and they might expand as the contest progresses and things get introduced. But for now, the following are the categories to the contest, each of which will have at least one winner, chosen from:
-Lands
-Flip Cards
-Planeswalkers
-Sagas
-Complex Token Creation (Such as Named Tokens)
-Adventures
-Aftermath
-Split Cards
There is one thing I want to make clear: This is not a repeat of Memoryhead's contest! This is to make things that have been precedented and will eventually be available on Cardsmith in the relatively near future.
Rules:
1. DO NOT USE OTHER SOFTWARE FOR THIS! Entries should be text based and may include artwork that would be used, but do not have to.
2. Limit to each category of 3 entries.
3. No old entries. What constitutes an old entry is that it has been published in some light on Cardsmith before. I will allow a handful of exceptions, should they be like the card linked here: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/name-title-1
4. Have fun!
I will include examples in comment section for each of the stated categories.
And as for prizes, they will be determined for each category through the level of participation it sees.

(Yes, I realize that red could gain a lot cards off of this, but it takes a lot of setup to do it, so I’m not to worried about that.)
This contest has been getting so little attention!
If it picks up, the overall winner will receive premium membership!
