It's been a week! only five entries, so I won't bother with places, i'll just give you first place, which is @TheRacingTurtle! I love the LOTR flavor and the card is fun and balanced
I've already made a card using that art, and dang does the art look cool. I don't think I will make another card using that art, so I won't enter this challenge, but I guess if you are looking for some inspiration, here's mine, which is my most favorited card. (I changed the name of the card so the link name is incorrect) https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/hatoresu-ruthless-samurai
I've used some of jasonTN's art before, and he makes some hecking awesome stuff. the blood-blades are powerful warriors who participate in a demonic ritual, turning themselves into demons and gaining unparalleled skill in battle, as well as magical abilities. but the powers of the blood-blades come with a price: blood-blade warriors must kill others to sustain their lifeforce. thus, blood-blades become ruthless monsters, and they are feared by all. the mechanics of this card are supposed to show the powers of the blood-blades, as well as the risks posed by becoming one.
