I love control. So I thought about why I love it. I decided that making your opponents discard cards until they can't cast spells is the best way to play. So, here's Arcane Courier!

People can make any cards for challenges that were already found. They don't get any points. But they can improve their design skills. Plus any cards posted on this thread might be featured.
Did you make a stickman card? If you don't post your card with the challenge you find, you don't get points and you only show other people where the challenge is.
Design a card with flavor text inspired by or quoting peripheral text from a D&D book.
wow
Then I think you missed a clue! It's in his main account.
BUT WHAT WAS THE THIRD CLUE
Design a card with art that is atypical in style from the style seen on most magic cards.
I chose this art because, unlike most MTG Cards, the art isn't a literal image of the card and it's effect, rather it's a highly texturized image that sparks inspiration.
Naturally, my first comment was a twofold hint, made a little more obvious by the capitalization in the comment:
"Wow! This is so exciting! You’d have to be suffering from Psychopathy to not run in like a Charging Owlbear!"
It referenced my two cards "Psychopathy" and "Charging Owlbear", each of which hid challenges that directly pertained to the cards themselves.
The hint for my third challenge was perhaps two subtle, seeing as it posed as an actual proposition which was acted on:
"Also, in regards to finding the same challenge, see if you can partner with each other."
The key there was the words "partner with"; but it when nobody acted on the comment aside from seeing if people could work together, I decided to edit the image of a card to act as a beacon.
The challenge was hidden in Harqa the Challenger, over on my alternate account, but I included an easter egg in the illustration of Ahktasib, Victory's Perdition, courtesy of @Tomigon. I wanted to make the last challenge harder to find, though still possible for those who only know me as Ranshi.

"Design a "partner with" card that lends itself to an archetype you want to build. (Tell us about that archetype and why you built the card the way you did!)"
My archetype is the dreaded Permission Deck. The idea behind the Permission Deck was to hold no creatures, just "counter and burn" anything in front of you, but what if you had to put a creature in? What would it be? More Denial and more Burn!
