Cycles Contest (Yes, Contest)
I have been inspired.
What I want you to do is make a cycle of cards (yes, a cycle). Generally, a cycle is five cards, one of each color. Technically speaking, the largest supercycle you could make is... uh.. a large number. There are thirty-one color combinations (Red, white, blue, black, green, Azorius, Rakdos, Selesnya, Boros, Simic, Dimir, Orzhov, Gruul, Golgari, Izzet, Grixis, Bant, Naya, Esper, Jund, Jeskai, Sultai, Mardu, Temur, Abzan, Glint-Eye, Witch-Maw, Ink-Treader, Yore-Tiller, Dune-Brood, and Coalition), plus colorless. So logically, the largest cycle you could make is 32 cards. But there are also cycles of weighted colors, in which two or three cards of a color combo are made, one representing each color (i.e. a {w}{u}{u} and {w}{w}{u} card). What I'm getting at here is... Please don't do that.
Make a cycle. Don't hurt yourself, or me. K?
Then, make an extra card, flavorfully connected to that cycle. Like, five challengers, and the planeswalker they challenged. Or five legendary lands, and the explorer they were discovered by. Or a five-color mage and five spells representing each of his aspects. This is the only requirement, a flavorful connection.
So, minimum, that would be six cards. A lot to ask, I know. As long as @someone enters, I'll be satisfied.
PLEEAAAAASSEE enter? please? With a cherry on top?
Judging will occur at some point after first submission. Prize can be decided by the winner. Nothing ridiculous, though. (Looking at you, @Corwinnn)

If I have a cycle, can I make the sixth, thematic card and enter them all?

I took an older card I made and expanded on the idea like I'd always meant to. I had fun making them.

They are all for my steampunk set. The angel is only referenced at the moment, the plan was to have her come in later and recombine the people of the plane, who currently think she is a mono-green deity.

Tying these four together is Dorothy, who is aligned with Glinda the Good Witch of the North so shares her color.
To make it a 5 card cycle, the green witch is from Howl's Moving Castle. Not the same ability, but not the same story either.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news Corwinnn, but Slash isn't real. Here's the infant offspring of a subjugated and inbred canine though.

Now that put a smile on the face of my inner cynic.
