Use these (vaguely) Christmassy words
Just a quick and dirty contest for those of you smithing over the holiday period.
Make a card on which all five of these words appear in some capacity:
"spirit"
"cheer"
"each player" (as a single phrase)
"exchange"
You can change the tense and make these words plural, etc. if you like, add suffixes and so on.
The words can appear in the name, type, text, flavour text - wherever you like as long as they're present somewhere in the card. They can even appear in the art but see the judging criteria, which are:
- Balance
- Playability
- Realism (so no overtly Santa / Christmassy cards)
- Creativity
- Templating (including spelling, grammar, punctuation and spacing)
- Flavour
- Art selection (i.e. realistic art. Using existing MtG art is strongly discouraged)
3 entries per smith. Favourites for prizes.
Provisional deadline of Tuesday 27th December, but I might extend it depending on the number of entries or how things are going.
Okay, go!

My forge was crowded enough! Get out or I'll use my hammer on more than steel! How can I be expected to achieve a perfect temper on my creation with so little room to work in!
Hey! This forge is mine, you scullion! You rampallian! You fustilarian! I'll tickle your catastrophe! *Brings out the sword I was just crafting and brandishes it worryingly*
Bit of Shakespeare for you there.
How dare you quote Dr. Shakespeare Seuss' gibberish in my marvelous forge knave!
*Charges forward swinging a glowing hot blade pulled from the forge coals*
I'll give your misbegotten teeth some truly cultured craft to spew! Chew on this!
Here's my first entry. Should totally enter tapped, but I didn't have the space to...

You dare to insult Shakespeare? Then you will die!
*Dodges your hot blade and pushes you towards the burning forge coals*
May your skin melt like wax beneath the heat of that fire!
This is basically a scene from Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the black Pearl, like, twenty minutes into the movie.
I've never watched that movie.

Augh! You filthy wretch! Defending Shakespeare is punishable by death!
*Pivots and plunges your face deep into the coal pile*
I'll say it just once more, this is my forge.
XD
Are we being extended then?
I'm sure it could be worded better, feel free to help.
Yeah, there haven't been many entries so far. Let's keep it open for a bit longer.
Yaaaah!
(In response to the coal pile thing.)
