Community Mechanics Challenge - Triggered Mechanics
In honor of Charging Badger's Mechanics Encyclopedia, and all of the Cardsmiths who posted their custom mechanics in it, this set of challenges will revolve around that.
Mechanics Encyclopedia - http://forums.mtgcardsmith.com/discussion/225/mechanic-encyclopedia-for-all/p1
The challenge this week will be to make cards using the Triggered mechanics that other Cardsmiths have posted!
The Rules are as follows:
1. Make a card that incorporates a custom Triggered mechanic
2. The mechanic can be one you made or one that you make for the challenge.
3. In the Disqus comments of your card, be sure to give credit to the originator of the mechanic.
4. There is no limit to the number of cards you may enter.
Next week we will continue with this theme, as long as we have enough interest and everyone is having fun!
Here is a link to the custom Triggered mechanics so that you don't have to dig around.

Be advised... If you use a new custom Triggered mechanic, I will want to add it to the Encyclopedia!
This Challenge will end on October 2nd!
Winner will receive a Custom Card and a ~TROPHY~

How original, right? I'm feeling rather pathetic right now. I solved a riddle, and it hurt.
Anyways, credits to @Tomigon @Corwinnn @Noobplayzgames for the mechanics.
You should probably ignore this one. Just... please.
Nah but seriously I over come apprehension by barely thinking about what I'm doing.
I forgot the name of my own mechanic lol

My brand spanking new "Virtue" ability is a static, like first strike, but you are treating mechanics like that as a triggered. If you still count them for the challenge, Then this'll be my next entry, I suppose.
Sorry for spamming this discussion, and your notifications, Corwinnn.
"A triggered ability can be identified by the words "when," "whenever," or "at", which will usually be found at the start of the ability. The phrase that contains one of those words lists the conditions (the trigger event or trigger state) where the ability will trigger. When it does, the ability goes on the stack (unless it's a mana ability), and responses can be played."

**EDIT**
I think this definition is still solid, but I will go over the criteria of the abilities to make sure they're not just static abilities in disguise

Here are the results!
Honorable Mentions
A lot more cards deserve a spot here, but I wanted to pick out some that stood out for me.
Munda, Eldrazi Hunter by @lookingupanddown
Avenge is a really good pick for this! I believe the last ability might have some timing issues, but great concept! Also... Don't forget to credit the Cardsmith who supplied the mechanic!
Spellbender Mage by @Teacup
Great flavor card! I think the second ability would be better balanced with tapping as part of the cost, but this is something I would play in a deck! So much fun! Also... Don't forget to add the credit to the Cardsmith on the card comments as well!
Third Place
@Tomigon - Undercity Assassin - Whispering Shadow - Soul Ascending
Very nice set of cards! I like how you got a mechanic onto a creature by using an instant! Great use of all the mechanics! My Favorite is Undercity Assassin!
Second Place
@MrRansom - Amphin Smugglers - Oathblood Colossus
I love that you got Oathbound onto a card and made two creatures have to block him! The smugglers are also great because they replenish themselves.... Nice Work!!
First Place
@CrucibleOfHate - Debt Collector - War Bound Trio
War Bound Trio was very ambitious and it's too bad you couldn't get ALL of that on the card! Still, my favorite is Debt Collector. I really love the flavor and how you got the right combination of mechanics to give him the right feel... No debt shall go unpaid!
