Flavor Text Contest (#3) "Suddenly, all hell broke loose..." (CLOSED)
This is the third contest in my Flavor Text Contest series. In it, I give you a piece of flavor text, and you make a card that has that flavor text on it. So, here's the flavor text for this contest:
Suddenly, all hell broke loose. It was a complete massacre. The demon army lost whatever humanity they had left, and became complete savages.
You can interpret this in any way you like, just make a card with that flavor text on it, and make sure it fits flavor-wise.
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 around January 3th, 2017. (14 days from when this contest was created)

Shame this contest isn't getting more publicity.

Perhaps the criterion is too hard to fit? Pithier flavour text simply like "Suddenly, all hell broke loose" (which is what I thought when I saw the title) could be a lot more fun with more ways to interpret or to incorporate as part of a greater chunk of flavour text. The massacre / demon stuff and repetition of "complete" is a bit clunky in comparison.
Anyway, it's your challenge and a cool idea - stuff like this is usually great for getting the creative juices flowing!
Or perhaps you could do different kinds of criteria stuff like - 'Make a Card With Flavor Text said by {someone}. Or you could make the prizes so that first place chooses the next flavor text.
@KJMartin That's a really good idea, I'll do that for a reward on the next contest!
