Maro has said before that, if he was to design four-color cards again, he would make them embody not what that group of colors wants to do, but the color that it doesn't feature doesn't want to do. For example, a G/W/B/R general is all but blue, so could be to do with chaos, and perhaps punishing hand size.
These are all really good entries! I would highly suggest to everyone to have two-colored creatures that have other two-colored abilities, just so the color pie is not violated.
@strongbelieves : Technically, since MTGCardSmith doesn't seem to allow special characters (namely, — and •), I had to complete this in a photo editor. Is the card still allowed entry if outside tools had to be used to complete it?
@MattAlbrecht Don't worry about the special character that are unavailable. The reason the characters aren't available is that the site uses the Beleren font (a clone of the MTG font) and it happens to not have things like bullets in it. Please make it on this site as we need to associate accounts and the cards they created for judging and prize purposes. You wont be penalized for any slight formatting issue.
@IanLowenthal Yes, but for just $5 a month, you too can help feed the poor hamsters that spin the wheels which run the MTGCS servers. They get very hungry from all of the running they do and they were recently cut from three eight hour shifts to two twelve hour shifts. The stress is killing them and it is all for our love of making custom MTG cards and sharing them with people.
Soraya runs in an evasion style; by playing many small, evasive creatures, she can stack up mana very rapidly, while detaining enemy fliers or large threats. Blue and white provide small fliers, green and white gives anthems and buffs to make your tiny army scary, and red provides both 'can't block' effects and extra combat phases. Alternately, she can do some big-time ramp, a la Animar or Rosheen, by stacking up a few early bears and blowing all of her gold at once.
Cabiri plays a death and taxes political aggro style. With tax cards like Propaganda and Ghostly Prison, attack forcers like Fumiko the Lowblood and Avatar of Slaughter, and rattlesnakes like Hissing Miasma, Kazuul, and Isperia, your opponents will rapidly find themselves running out of options.

And now, Voltron.

@strongbelieves If I'm not a premium member (I am now) in November, am I still eligible for the "List" prizes?
This card was inspired by the flavor text of zealous persecution.
