My First Challenge: The Idiom Challenge-CLOSED
The goal of this challenge is to create a card that's name is a common phrase or an idiom. You may post as many entrees as you want to. Here are some examples of cards I've made that would be valid entrees:

As for prizes...
1st place-4 favorites
2nd place-3 favorites
3rd place and below- 1 favorite
Above all else, hopefully this is a chance to get the mental gears turning and make some cool cards. I'll be deciding winners July 10th and checking this challenge daily for questions. Good luck and have fun.

I've also made other cards in the past which fit the theme. I don't know. I'll post them here, but I
don't expect they'll count for the contest.
Must I say, I didn't expect this many entrees for my first challenge. For starters, thank you all for posting entrees. As I said in the original post, everybody who posted an entree gets a favorite. Ya'll can just post your cards anytime. Again, thanks for checking out my challenge.
But, what really matters is who won. So, here are the winners:
1st- Yesterday!
I really enjoyed the simplicity and execution of you cards. Whenever I read the cards you made, I instantly thought "I get it, That pretty clever!" And not only did they stay true to their titles, but they seemed like useful or fun cards. I would love to build a "What Doesn't Kill You" deck and think that Ghost in the Machine is just so perfect. I am so glad that I got to see your work. Post your 4 favorites anytime. I'll check this often.
2nd-Ranshi922!
You only had one entree, but to me, it was so perfect. I loved the flavor text, mechanics, and abilities. There was a simple way to make a "raining cats and dogs" card, but you took a unique approach. Congrats!
3rd-Rib11!
I wasn't impressed with all of your entrees, but Flying Colors and Down to earth were both very cool to me. Flying Colors in particular was very accurate but also complex and cool. I decided that I'm going to give you 3 favorites instead of 1 because, going back and seeing the way I was going to score things, it doesn't make any sense. Thank you so much for participating.
Again, thanks to everyone for posting entrees. I hope I see you in another challenge of mine. Till, then, happy Smithing!
I also recommend getting @Corwinnn to close the thread when everything is wrapped up.
Thanks.
I've got 3 or challenges like this going right now if u want to check them out.
