Halloween on Innistrad
Welcome to a new contest where you will be able to challenge yourself to get prices! As this contest is made on halloween, I wanted to do this contest on the scary plane of Innistrad.
The contest is simple. Between all the MTGCardsmith community we will create a custom set for Innistrad. It won't probably have the 272 cards of Midnight Hunt, but it will have some specific themes, like draft archetypes.
WU-Spirits: Summon spirits, blink them and tap creatures with ghostly tricks only the "not-so-forgotten" creatures can do.
UB-Zombies: Create armies of zombies and give them some experimental mutations found in the labs of Nephalia!
BR-Vampires: Return to Stensia and remember the mad tricks vampires could do when discarding cards.
RG-Werewolves: See how passing your turn and using abilities make your creatures more powerful as night approach.
GW-On the Hunt: Hunt in the forests of Innistrad and collect some food to survive some extra turns in the wilderness!
Enemy color pairs:
WB-The Grey Cult: A cult of clerics have been found on some cities on Innistrad. They seem to inscribe pacts with demons! (inscribe mechanic created by ManInMaroon_948)
UR-Astronomy: Look at the sun and the stars using cards that are more powerful if the day and night change each turn.
BG-Death Matters: Use the well-known morbid and undergrowth abilities to boost the monsters of Innistrad.
RW:Humans and Angels: Defend villages and cities from lots of monsters and survive using brand-new angels that buff your humans.
UG-Mystery: Use clues to find the secrets of Innistrad and use cards that give profit from creating and sacrificing clues.
-There is no maximum for the amount of cards you can post.
-Stay inside the themes of the archetypes. Remember each color has 4 different archetypes, so you can combine them as you want.
-This is a set. Create a balanced amount of cards for each archetype, and try not to make lots of legendaries, mythic and rare cards.
-Cards can be edited and switched before due date.
-Include the MTGCardsmith link (if made on cardsmith).
-No old cards.
-No joke cards.
-Credit the artist (or the IA that generated it). Otherwise, those cards would not be revised.

2nd Place:
10 favorites of your choice.
3rd Place:
7 favorites of your choice.
4th Place:
5 favorites of your choice.

Can I use cards I've already made, or only new cards?

Like before, the image is the link!
Inspired by Ranshi mentioning cross-archetype signposts. Image links to the MTGCS version for set collection, the MTG Design version just has nicer formatting.

I have made the sign-post uncommon for UR astronomy. It is a new card type that I have invented.

"Sorcery lands cannot be countered"
That would save some room... Probably.
Sorry. I got carried away by too many ideas mixed into one card. I've made a new sign-post uncommon.

I've decided build a card around smax's "time passes" sub-mechanic. It is different from the original mechanic though. Rather than it starting as day if it's not day nor night, I had it starting as night. Not only I think this is more effective from a mechanical standpoint, but also from a flavour standpoint
