Cleft in twain [closes June 30th].
Hello.
I really, really like cleave. I look forward to if/when it returns. I think that there's a lot of potential in how to play with the words and punctuation involved.
I challenge ye to design cards that do interesting things with the mechanic. I won't be discounting anything for not following standard guidelines of Magic cards, just so long as it's clear what the functionality of the card is meant to be. I have a set of cleave cards which might hopefully inspire some people, also educate ye as to the level of wonkiness I appreciate.
Please also feel free to use these mechanics:
Ye can enter cards that were made prior, or cards that are made newly for this contest, all good. There is no limit to the number of cards you can enter. I just... I just wanna see lots of good-quality cleavage, you feel me?
I'll be keeping this open until the end of June, and the prize will be your sense of self-worth and do-goodery for making me happy.
Also,
1st place: 5 likes of your choice.
2nd place: 4 likes of your choice.
3rd place: 3 likes of your choice.
Separate from any likes you may acquire as the competition is ongoing.

Please also feel free to use these mechanics:
- Cleft (You may cast this spell for its cleft cost. If you do, remove the words in squiggly brackets.)
- Cloven (You may cast this spell for its cloven cost. If you do, remove the words in all brackets.)

I know it's simple, but I hope you like it.
This is me experimenting with off-colour cleave costs to get an on-colour alternate effect.

Does this work?

EDIT: I've found a very cool artwork that gave me another idea, so I'll replace my previous one with this new one!

Once again, that's an edit! I'll continue to edit this post when I get ideas for new entries if that's okay. I'm adding there two other cards I designed that are intended to be played along Wheel of the Faker, so in the same archetype of deck.

Some other cards that weren't made for the same archetype intrinsically:

Trying something different with a non-mana cleave cost.

I've got a new job which I hate and leaves me with very little free time and has me exhausted when I am free. So I intend to get to judging this contest ASAP, but expect it'll probably be next weekend before I get a chance.
Thanks for being patient and thanks again for entering. This has been really great to see.
