Using Storm-riding mechanic by @aus10krews
Give or take....
you can see what they have on them and whom the mechanic is attributed to.
Scurry (Whenever this creature attacks, choose a creature defending player controls. This creature can't be blocked by the chosen creature.)
Which I just reworded slightly for word count purpose (according to New World Order, an ability should ideally be 12 words or shorter when possible):
Scurry (Whenever this creature attacks, target defending creature can't block it this turn.)
It's a very useful mechanic though not a very flashy one, so I decided to bet on a cohesive package to sell it, even if some of the cards in the package don't necessarily have the usual wow factor you find in MTGCardsmith contests ^^
Thanks to everyone who entered!!
Honorable Mentions - A lot of cards made the final cut, so it was really tough to narrow it down to the top three. Here are some cards and Cardsmiths I thought did well!
@Undead, @Scott_Anderson & @Faiths_Guide had nice entries and just narrowly missed the Top Eight
@Dechujoh64, @ningyounk, @TenebrisNemo, @sorinjace & @DeepSky had cool cards as well, and narrowly missed the Top Three!
Speaking of the TOP THREE, here they are!!
THIRD PLACE - Tiny Helper by @Lastjustice
I would have preferred to see the text box formatted a little cleaner, but the card, and what it does is such a fun idea!
SECOND PLACE - Savage Clan Champion by @Mila
I half expected to see this on a Boros inspired card, but I really like the direction this went. I love how you can build it up, and tear it down, and the loss of counters won't be a total loss!
FIRST PLACE - Naya Sentinel by @bnew07
This is a Flavor Win, pure and simple. It's well planned and in my opinion, nicely balanced. And best of all, it comes in at common! If I pulled this out of a booster pack, I would not be surprised!
Congrats to ALL the winners and Mentionables!
Trophy and Hall of Fame are soon to follow!
