The Corwinnn Files #5
A lot of us listen to music while making cards, or like making cards based on songs. This challenge is not only for you, but for me as well, as not just any song should be interpreted into a card!
That's where the Challenge begins. Below you'll find a link to the FIFTH of The Corwinnn Files. It's a playlist with 10 songs.
Your challenge is to select a song from the 10 songs in the playlist, and make a card that YOU think represents that song. You can use any artwork that you think fits your card. You are welcome to name the card after the song, but you do not have to name the card after the name of the song from the playlist, you can name it anything you feel suits the song, the card and/or the connection you feel they have to each other.
When you post your card, be sure to include a link and let me know what song from the playlist it represents, unless you feel confident it's obvious.
Example Card
Rules:
Limit 10 entries. One entry per song.
MTGCardsmith cards are required, but you can submit from other sources as long as the image links to the MTGCS version.
Un-cards are acceptable as long as they fit the song.
New cards only!
Songs from the playlist only!
End Date: 11/30/21

Second place gets 4 favorites.

That'll show your opponent for being so cavalier in throwing away their creatures.

Bonus their token. Doesn't the lyrics make more sense now?

As another point aside: How are the images put as links?
It remains to say that I did not succeed.

To link the image, have the image address in your clipboard and then select the image you want to link. Then from the top menu of the comment box select the chain icon (the http portion should be highlighted blue when it comes up) and paste your link into the pop up.
Well... Why?! She only have to show us her very neat nail. XD. I hope the monitor didn't go through here then. And if it happens to leave the price for the bribe. ?

But before posting the last card. Thank you very much for the challenge. I had a lot of fun ... And I asked myself many times: By what criteria were the members of this curious playlist chosen?

I may have one more card left in me before the day's up.

There's a line in the chorus that talks about death being the gateway to immortality.
Alright! First off, Thank you to all of you for entering this contest. SMPrague, to answer your question about how the songs are selected, I usually start off by picking the first song, and then from there I try to add in a wide variety of music so that there might be something for anyone. All of the songs come from my iTunes. I try to imagine colors that can go with them as well, so all colors can be represented.
I'm judging this slightly different. Since there are only three of you, everyone will place, based on the overall strength of the cards.

I love all the submissions, and you submitted a card for all of the songs (though one was DQ'd) and that's amazing! My favorites were Hidden Threat, Zombie Love and Lt Col. Bluegrass. There were quite a few wording issues and some wordiness in a lot of the cards, but overall, I really enjoyed the concepts you presented.
Second Place - @Jadefire - 4 Favorites
Nice solid cards. I really liked Stonecloak Heirophant and your take on the Metallica song! Under normal circumstances this is our winning card, but I think the buzzsaw of the winner was too much to overcome!
First Place - @The_Tyrant - 6 Favorites
Power glove is my favorite of the two entries for sure! Maybe it could have been worded slightly better, maybe... but regardless, it really nailed the song! Great job!
Work is going to steal a lot of my time for the next month or two, but The Corwinnn Files WILL return!!
Please let me know what cards you want favorited all you winners! I will also be adding a favorite to all cards that were entered!
Please put the favourites wherever you like: https://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Jadefire/cards
