Contest — Cards of the Zodiac (RESULTS)
Hello everyone 
We all know the good old Colour Wheel of Magic, but this time I'm challenging you to design for a very different wheel: the Zodiac Signs Wheel!
The Ram, the Bull, the Twins, the Crab, the Lion, the Maiden, the Scales, the Scorpion, the Archer, the Mountain Sea-Goat, the Water-bearer, and the Fish. Just like the colours of Magic, those 12 signs have a lot of interpretation depth.
To enter this contest, you must design a card that will depict one of those signs in Magic terms!
Here are the specific rules:
- Cards must give flesh to one of the Zodiac signs. (Ophiucus, the 13th Zodiac sign is accepted as well.)
- Any colour or any combination of colours may be used to represent the Signs. Don't be affraid to look for the signification behind the Sign you've chosen, maybe the Fish is more than just a Fish
And feel free to explain your card, I actually don't know much about the Zodiac Signs myself ^^
- Cards must be Rare or Mythic Rare
- No more than 5 entries per Cardmsith! Choose your Signs well!
- Cards created for other purposes are accepted
- Deadline in 2 weeks: 21st August
The Prizes are:
- 1st place: 5 favourites of your choice
- 2nd place: 3 favourites of your choice
- 3rd place: 1 favourite of your choice
Good luck to everyone! Please, feel free to ask for any details in the comments!

EDIT: Oh, out of curiosity, you can indicate your Sign if you want ^^ It would be fun to see how many people actually designed for their personnal Sign ^^ My Sign is Virgo, the Maiden (which sounds way better in English because in French if someone asks me which Sign I am, I have to answer "I'm a Virgin" XD)

Do the cards have to be named after the Zodiac signs?

Also, you should check your Gemini card, the tokens replicate themselves infinitely
There's the edited Gemini. I don't understand why the Pisces isn't working, though. It works when I do it....
Here's my entry:

We're still missing the Ram, the Bull, the Lion, and the Serpentarius! ;D
Also, the Serpentarius (or Ophiuchus, or Serpent-Bearer) is kind of "the 13th Sign" even though it's obviously not part of the official Signs wheel. The astrological Signs come from actual constellations that form a ring in the sky. There are 13 of them but Serpentarius was removed from it because it was simpler to divide a circle in 12 parts rather than 13. It's actually sitting between the constellation of the Sagittarius and the Scorpion
If only the border could be blue, then white. It would be truly pretty.
I noticed when I published it that it had a -1 beside the link, meaning that somebody had made one with the same name before me. If that one is in this contest, this is not copyright, and I am sorry for using your name.
The reason I made Libra first is because it is my zodiac sign. TAKE THAT, September 25th!

My actual sign is Libra, which is ironic considering that I mainly play Temur colors, but oh well.
