Your all-time best cards
I was thinking of the cards I have made that I consider interesting, well-made cards, and very few of them have gotten the recognition I think they deserve. Then again, they are my creations, so I am biased.
I assume that this happens to everyone, so I created this thread/suggestion.
I think everyone (especially the long-time users), should create a "best of" set to showcase your personal favorite creations and have them all in one place. If you want to post them here, I think they might end up with more attention (probably not.) That way if someone is perusing your cards, you have all your best cards on display.

My very first card! And a nice first one too, at least in my opinion.

Oops, its not a spell! But anyways...

This card showcases my favorite custom ability: Flux. I know that other users have made mechanics in the past with the name Flux, but this is always what I think about.

Yup, cringe all you want. But bear with me! This card shaped who I am as a cardsmith!
A long time ago, back when MTGCardsmith forums were new and I was still innocent, I posted Aether Sage to a forgotten contest called "Colourless and Artifact Cards Challenge!!!" To my surprise, @cadstar369 politely responded with what follows:
"By the way, your examples [my and cascadingcuccos entries] are both cards with terrible mtg grammar and formatting, and also neither you nor your two "examples" clarify if colored artifacts are legal, although I'm assuming they are since you separated 'colorless cards' and 'artifact cards'."
I applaud @cadstar369's stellar handling of constructive criticism. Shocked and in a daze of horror, I eventually learned 3 things:
• What you say on the internet stays on the internet. No matter how long ago the discussion was closed, people can still remember it. Like myself (and maybe cascadingcuccos. That could be why he left.)
• Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will always hurt more.
• With enough practice and effort, you can and will become better than those who once denounced you as awful.
I end my rant saying that I mean nothing ill towards @cadstar369. I just wish that he could have said that to me back then.

Shapeshifting commander!
Most favored by the community.
Also, I've only created about 55 cards. So it won't take much of your time to browse. Feel free to give any feedback. Thanks.

I especially pride this one:

When it comes to cards that aren't cats, I gotta go with these:
My most popular card (as of July, 2017): https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/godzilla-king-of-monsters-11?list=set&set=11759
This is probably one of my most well-made cards, and is to this day one of my most special cards:
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/eidolon-dragon?list=set&set=17118
This was my first "popular" card, and oddly enough was a reprint of a common from M14. FUN FACT: it was actually my first real card, and was what got me into mtg.
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/seacoast-drake?list=set&set=11759
Those are a select few that I really think are my best cards. There is one last card, however. This one is very special to me, it probably ties if not tops all other card I made and that card is Watchful Leopard: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/watchful-leopard?list=set&set=10762
This is one, I really like and I still feel, It didn't get the attention, it should have. Just look, it's a floating squirrel:

@Gelectrode
Nice post!
My other cards which I'm proud of.
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/black-death-dragon-abygale-2
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/blight-sliver
I'm really proud of the hybrid space on the second mode. I also like the idea of hybrid commands.
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/escaped-experiment
I know it's just keyword soup, but it's in color pie (though trample is technically tertiary in blue), and it has a decent amount of synergy. Plus, I love the flavor text.
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/jenrik-estranged-scholar
I really liked the character, so I made a top-down astrologist based on the werewolve ability and its flavor.
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/arachnophobia
I love -Phobia cards, and I like supporting relatively unsupported tribes.
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/smiths-bane
I also love zombies, and have always found cards with no mana cost interesting.

I'll add more later.
How is that your best card? If it's intended to be on WMTGCS, it should be your worst.
