A Card Runs Through It: Stack-interactions Contest (Closed)
It's arguably the single most important zone in Magic, without it nothing would ever trigger, nothing would ever resolve, every game would be an endless chain of "Draw, Go", so why is it so woefully underused specifically in interactions? (Well, arguably because it is a 'sacred' zone in that it's more a core game mechanic than an area that Wizards wishes to fool around with for fear of mucking with every existing playstyle out there since it's quite difficult to win without using the stack... But that's all besides the point.)
Rules and Deadlines:
- Limit of 5 submissions (you may change submissions at any time.)
- Contest ended
- Your card must interact specifically with the stack in one or more ways.
Cards will be judged on:
-Creativity
-Balance
-Flavor
Prizes:
1st Place: 7 favorites of your choice.
2nd Place: 5 favorites of your choice.
3rd Place: 3 favorites of your choice.
Happy breaking of the core game mechanics!

Yes. You can totally just manipulate the stack.
Cast a Flesh to Dust but your opponent tries to sacrifice that creature using Indulgent Aristocrat? Well this spell is for you cause now your Flesh to Dust resolves before their Indulgent Aristocrat can sacrifice that creature!
Did I also mention you can get a free spell? Someone really irking you that needs a nice little Humble the Brute or Anguished Unmaking? Check! You got it now haha
(hey @Faiths_Guide, I know you've said this before somewehre, but how do you make your card full view?)
So copy this code:
[a href=INSERT LINK][img src=INSERT IMAGE LINK][/a]
Insert the page link to the first one. Insert the image link into the second one. In order to get the image link, right click and select copy image address.
After that, replace all of the [ ] with < >
2nd place: Chaos, ruling induced headaches, duration induced headaches, and a card I'd love to build around. @Gateways7 with Mind Recursor, Eye of the Storm's slightly more insane rule bending cousin. Chaotic, flavorful, and well designed aesthetically and functionally.
1st place: This was a close one between the winner and the runner up, ableit for an admittedly mildly trivial reason. The winner of this competition in @Faiths_Guide with Time Alter. A simple yet potentially fantastically powerful design with magnificent flavor and layout (love that flavor text). The main argument against this card was the odd wording, though I believe the reminder text sorts out that issue quite nicely. Congrats @Faiths_Guide !
Winners can message me or post here to claim your prizes, happy smithing!
These 7?

P.S. Yes, more correctly "Time Alter" would've read:
"Exile each spell on the stack. For each spell exiled this way, cast it without paying its mana cost. Each spell's owner controls it. (You may cast the spells in any order.)"
Could I request one of these (your choice) in its place?
