Winner is the Judge #3 - How to save a Life
Ground rules:
1). The judge cannot participate in the current contest or the next contest (This is to prevent the same people from winning all the time).
2). Each contest starts on Monday 12:01am Central Time (-6:00) and ends Saturday 11:59 Central Time (-6:00). This leaves a week for contestants to post their entries and a day for the judge to decide the winner(s).
3). Each person may enter TWO cards per challenge.
I'm posting it now because I'm out of town tomorrow.
This one is about creating cards that prevent the death of your own creatures from various circumstances.
So, instant cards, or creatures with flash - or get creative. Think of new ways to add "combat tricks". Maybe a trigger on an enchantment or something. I've also heard that "Destroy target creature" is an effective way to save your creature from a blocker, but you didn't hear that from me.
Go.

Kinda morbid, but enjoy as always!

feedback of course welcome.
I have already seen multiple kards with this art, but I couldn't find anything better.

The winner is Beeswax with: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/misguided-preserver-1?list=user#.VWx2MJ9CjRt
It's simple, elegant, has good art, looks well formatted, flavour is splendid and the flavourtext is spot on. A lot of people should take note of this and learn from it.
The whole card's idea of saving a life, even if its for the wrong reasons, is perfect for the contest.
Well deserved.
