A Town in the MTG-Universe
Hey awesome mates,
this time I want you to create a Town!
How does this work? Easy! Everybody of you can forge his or her own building for our great City.
Each of those Buildings assumes its own tasks, to make our town work and prosper.
Our city will have each color in it, so you are not limited in that way.
For some examples we need some residences, maybe some shops or a watchtower etc.
Here is my example:

Ok now here are the rules:
—> Your Building has to be an Artifact (or an artifact creature? Could be a nice idea )
—> Its subtype has to be "Building" but you can also add other subtypes
—> It has to be balanced
—> Its colors have to match its abilities (or you just leave it colorless)
—> If your Building spawns Tokens, please make that Token too
—> If some of you really wants to create a cathouse, please choose an appropriate artwork
—> You can post up to TWO Buildings and optional: a citizen of our new great town!
—> Also you can suggest a Name for our town (maybe you get a bonus point)
—> Old cards are fine too, but your subtype should be "Building" so you can adjust your old works.
—> Deadline is the 14th of June.
The judging criterions are:
- Balancing (up to three points)
- Creativity of the Ability (up to five points)
- Artwork (up to two points)
- Flavortext (up to two points)
- the optional citizen (up to two points)
I will judge all of your entries and add the points together. The person with the most Points will win!
The Prices:
First - will get 5 Upvotes and an awesome Award (Yes, I stole @Tomigons idea, I feel a little sorry )
Second - will get 3 Upvotes
Third - will get 1 Upvote
The winners can just post a Link of the cards they want to get upvotes.
Also I will upvote each Building in this contest!
And now: HAVE FUN!

Both shops are needed, and of course a town needs protectors.

and the token http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/townsfolk
Another building and a creature to come!

And a dirty, evil priest.

And of course, the blind follower.

Catacombs and undertaker : loads of creatures die in a single game of magic; and i'm not sure about you, but i don't want my town stinking of decomposition.
http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Blazin_Biscuit/sets/10613
sorry the ship token isn't perfect, there's no tap symbol for tokens.
I was going to to a Town hall but I saw somebody do it first.
Here is the mayor, i suggest we call the town Graneville.

Apothecary's Shop (http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/apothecarys-shop)
Devout Paladin (Citizen) (http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/devout-paladin)
Balancing:
Blacksmith's Forge: This card is well balanced in my opinion. You raised the cost for your equipments because you can produce more of them any time you want (You don't have to draw them and they don't waste space in your maximum hand size).
—> 3 of 3 points.
Apothecary's Shop: This card is far away from over powered (its rather a little weak).
—> 3 of 3 points.
Creativity of the Ability:
Blacksmith's Forge: You created a card i miss in the MTG-Universe. As far as I know there is just one card producing Equipment-Tokens (Nahiri). A simple forge is great and apparently you are the first one with this idea. I miss your tokens.
—> 4 of 5 points.
Apothecary's Shop: It is a cool idea, that someone is brewing potions to enhance your creatures. I would have liked it more, if you didn't take just ordinary keyword-abilities.
—> 3 of 5 points.
Artwork: 1/2
Your Artworks are a little too big so the details become blurred.
Flavortext: 2/2
Your have two nice little texts
the optional citizen 2/2
I like the idea of the other creatures praying for your paladin.
Result: 18 Points for 3 Cards
Congratulations

Abutting Docks (http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/abutting-docks?list=set&set=10613)
Catacomb Warden (Citizen) (http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/catacomb-warden?list=set&set=10613)
Balancing:
Deathdwell Catacombs: This card is pretty mighty at the edge to "too mighty" it basically says: (b): target zombie gets +2/+2. So for three mana a zombie could become 8/8 until end of turn.
—> 2 of 3 points.
Abutting Docks: This card is just awesome. The scry ability cuts both ways and is therefore ok. The second ability is great. The boats are creatures and have summoning sickness, so the card draw doesn't get out of hand.
—> 3 of 3 points.
Creativity of the Ability:
Deathdwell Catacombs: I would have liked it more, if just "living" creatures could be turned into zombies. And the second ability is not really justified in your card.
—> 2 of 5 points.
Abutting Docks: The first ability can add spice to a MTG-Match and the second ability matches the art! And I like ships
—> 5 of 5 points.
Artwork: 2/2
Your Artworks are great and you gave credit.
Flavortext: 2/2
Your have nice little texts
the optional citizen 2/2
He is the mad guy experimenting with the undead!
Result: 18 Points for 3 Cards

Grand Guildhall (http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/grand-guildhall?list=set&set=10609)
Mages' Academy (http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/mages-academy-1?list=set&set=10609)
Balancing:
Grand Guildhall: This card's power level is tight. You can only create one Token per turn and they are ok for their cost. The abilities of your tokens ant their bodies are weak enough, so your Guild Hall is not too versatile. But you have a constant flow of creatures, for just a few mana.
—> 2 of 3 points.
Mages' Academy: This card is too mighty. You play an instant and sorcery deck and get 1/1 blocker for free? Also your drawback (showing your cards) is not that critical. Just look at "Telepathy". Make your opponent reveal his hand is just one mana.
—> 1 of 3 points.
Creativity of the Ability:
Grand Guildhall: I like the idea of all the different people coming together, but its just a classic five-colored card. But you made 5 Tokens, which is nice one bonus point!
—> 3(4) of 5 points.
Mages' Academy: The first ability is cool. It is founded in your card. You should have skipped the second one, it was op I think. Also why would casting spells generate Apprentices? I don't get it.
—> 3 of 5 points.
Artwork: 1/2
Most of your Artworks are great but you didn't gave credit.
Flavortext: 1/2
Your have a nice little text
the optional citizen 0/2
You have no citizen.
Result: 12 Points for 3 Cards
Congratulations
