Make A Really Weird Card: Life Stuff! (#2) (ENDED)
So I've decided to make this a series, since I enjoyed the first one! I'm gonna start theming them, and the first one is gonna be all about playing with life total!
Make a card with a really weird ability or variation of an ability, or just something weird about it that has never been used on other cards. I don't mean it has to be a wall of text, or something that makes you re-read it over and over again, I just mean something that hasn't really been done before. The weirder the better.
Other Rules:
1. You are allowed to change your card any amount before the contest ends
2. You can only use an original card that you made.
3. Max number of entries is three.
4. No joke cards or uncards.
5. Please have correct MTG language, since I get really bothered by incorrect MTG language.
I will be judging you based on:
- Balance
- Creativity
- Templating (including spelling, grammar, punctuation and spacing)
- Art selection (using existing MtG art is strongly discouraged)
- Flavor (Not flavor text, just how well the abilities fit with the art and name)
Rewards:
1st: I will follow you, favorite 5 cards of your choice, and you get to choose an honorable mention.
2nd: I will follow you and favorite 3 cards of your choice.
3rd: I will follow you and favorite 2 card of your choice
Honorable Mention(s): I will favorite 2 cards of your choice
I will be judging on October 11th, 2016. (14 days from when this contest was created)

just gonna toss these three in for fun
I'm not sure about the wording. Can somebody please help? I used the mechanic of Animate Dead.
As for the wording, I would've probably used the mechanics of Darksteel Mutation instead. "Enchant creature with converted mana cost X. When [cardname] enters the battlefield, it loses "Enchant creature with converted mana cost X" and gains "Enchant artefact changed by [cardname]." Enchanted creature is an equipment artefact with Equip {2} and "Equipped creature has all other abilities of this permanent except for its Equip ability.""
You can't really make the card give +X/+X because you already defined X above. Also, the theme of the contest was life (life gain, life loss, life total, etc.), so you'd have to work that into the card somehow.
But with the +X/+X thing: Would it work like this? Is X now the converted mana cost? If yes that is what I wanted to do. And don't I have to define the "change" a litte more in the sentence "Enchant artefact changed by [cardname]" ?

(I really like this one: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=1606)
When a normal game of Magic is too much and you just wanna make things go kablooie.
You can have the equipment grant +X/+X with X being the converted mana cost, but it's IMO a bit excessive. You're already giving Blue a way to permanently deal with an annoying creature, and you're also giving White a way to steal a creature's properties for itself. Giving both a way to pump a creature to high heavens is IMO outside the colour pie.
@DragonFaceEater You wanna play with life totals? Let's play with life totals. :P
(Also flavor text is in the card description thx)
And mine?
I made this card recently for another challenge. Can I enter it?
