i dont know how to use images so here is my submission
So i thought to myself how can i make it good but keep its original concept. well i turned it into a land destroyer that feeds of the more forest there are. hes at base a 2/2 with trample and Hexproof. but he gets bigger for each forest in the grave plus he can destroy forest even your own keeping the original concept of sacking your own things for a bigger pay off.
This is a ton of work to make the images for each of these cards to appear. You can find any of these cards on the internet or gatherer.wizards.com as well.
Here is the names of the cards you are allowed to use for this contest to remake:
Nine-Ringed Bo Tombfire Root Cage Trapfinder's Trick Chimney Imp Aven Trooper Viashino Skeleton Takeno's Cavalry Great Wall Aysen Highway Hidden Path Rakalite Cyclopean Snare Razor Boomerang Malicious Advice Avizoa Dispersing Orb Wood Elemental Bargain One With Nothing Carnival of Souls Shaman's Trance Sorrow's Path
@shadow123, if the new card is an actual remake of the real card you listed, then yes it is allowed. It may not be the winning card for the contest if you go too far out in left field, but if you strongly feel the old card should be better as your new recreation of it, then go for it! (Just make sure they are cards from the article though.)
Using exile instead of sacrifice to represent the entire woodland coming to life as one. Decided to go down the legendary route because I realised there wouldn't be much point in playing a second copy if you already have one on the battlefield. :S
@Crabbycabbage cool card! For future reference though, please list the original cards name here for other cardsmiths to see. Thank you for your entry!!
@Animist Maybe: At the beginning of the end step before your turn, choose any of untap step, upkeep step, draw step, main phase and combat phase. During your next turn, you skip the chosen steps or phases and Siltcliff Timeskipper gets +1/+1 until end of that turn for each step or phase chosen this way.
That should give you enough room to give her flying, which would make her much better, IMO.
This is the first one I did, I should have read the oracle text on the original Sorrow's Path, because it was not what I thought it was. I think this is a little strong, and if I was going to change it I would either make it so when you use the second ability it doesn't untap on your next untap step, or make it deal 2 damage to you (as an homage to the original), or both.
This is the second one I did, I wanted it to still have an effect similar to the original, and I like the danger of sacrificing your lands. I think it is a little too expensive since Multani is kind of just better than this, I think recosting it at 1GGG or something would make it better.
This is the third one I did, I originally wanted to keep it in red, but didn't really see a way to do that well. I also wanted to make this one playable in a constructed format, and I think currently it is a little bit too week for modern, but could still see it being useful in a mill or control shell.
This is the first time I have done one of these, so I don't know if talking about process is like frowned upon or something, so sorry if it is.

but it still works, right?

Are these too different @sorinjace?
EDIT: I was trying to keep the skip your next untap phase on the card and make it actually help a player.

Might need to revert to sorcery for balance. Thoughts on that, anyone?

No, talking about the process isn't frowned upon. In fact, I think more of us should do it.
Another one, I tried a few different things before this iteration, but I think I like this one the best.
Chimney Imp's big brother.
Glad to help! I assumed you’d run out of room
