Hodgepodge! (STM: Daily Challenges Return!)
Make sure to read all the comments so that you don't accidentally make an entry for the wrong challenge! Once there's another challenge, the ones before it ends!
Time for a boatload of crazy! Some cardsmiths get inspiration from a variety of sources, some normal, some obscure. For instance, my famous card Forget the Past from JBYT_Earthrealm was inspired by a famous quote from John F. Kennedy, as made apparent by my Tommia remake. However, get ready for some funky inspiration from this hodgepodge of daily challenges with no particular base around them!
You may make cards for a challenge the day after the challenge was released so long as there's not another challenge after it.
Note that by entering into any of these contests, you allow me to remake any of the cards you entered into them, and allow me to make, at my discretion, any changes I see fit. However, you will receive full credit for the card.

Here are the rules:
The card must be balanced
No Un-Cards

Very red. Damage and taking dangerous risks for some potentially crazy rewards. At worst you can help your opponent play vital cards and at best you get to funnel every 2 mana you have into 1 damage.
