Card makover Contest
For this contest I want you to rewrite an already made magic card. I get a little frustrated when I see old cards that have texts like "This creature is not affected by summoning sickness", i leaves me thinking, just write haste in there it's shorter and sounds cooler. Then I remember that word hasn't been invited yet. So your challenge is to find an old card that needs the most fixing up and do just that (You may give the card new art if you can find something better). Post a link to the original card along with yours. Contest ends on the 22nd.

My remake (Note: I changed the name to fit the art and made it a legendary... because one-drop legends are a thing now.): http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/priest-of-the-holy-nimbus

WotC has

Enchanted creature has shroud. (It can't be the target of spells or abilities.)"

hope that you like the idea behind it. Please don't sue me for making up a keyword action, but the idea needs looking at.(anti-regen, mill, processing, ect.)
(PS: I can't figure out how to get the orignal card from the gather)

okay, disczard is more specific, but, purge accomplishes the same thing, and more!

Targets can't be in the condition of a triggered ability (they have to trigger before a target can be chosen), so this was errata'd to a much more powerful trigger of any opponent! This new wording makes this a great card for multiplayer. I also borrowed the art and flavor idea from a classic Zelda game, Link's Awakening
