It's trolly and unfun because while easily killable by counter/murder, Wizards thinks that losing 2 life actually matters, and that's how this is realistic.
Runner up: Covetious Sovereign by @koover! It effectively means players have to pay {2} each turn or don't cast spells, because I'd never see someone letting go of their lands. Good against instants, and nice card overall. Congratulations, you've won a favourite of your choice.
Winner: Vengeful Revenant by @AbzanCompany! The sac is great but it's the second ability that wins this card. Tax is really unfun, but this does it in a balanced way that synergies with its top and bottom. Congratulations, you've won two favorites of your choice.
I apologies for not judging sooner, I was camping, then I was sick, then I forgot.
Judging for best Instant/ Sorcery: There weren't very many of these, but such is life.
Runner up: Light Strike Array by @sanjaya666 ! I'm seeing this card being used as a final 'screw you' in a multiplayer game. That's pretty unfun for the receiver. Congratulations you've won a favorite of your choice!
Winner: Mold the Mind by @AbzanCompany ! Phyrexian mana and repeatable countering. I can imagine playing against this, being unable to play a spell. Ugh, it's giving me nightmares. Which is perfect! You've won (another) two favorites!
Judging for best other permanent (artifact, enchantment and land) Well this one was really hard, but here goes:
Runner Up: The Dungeon by @Arceus8523 ! This is pretty neat and simple. It can really slow down aggro decks, while not being overpowering against other deck types. Being two-sided and only tapping for colorless balance it. Congratulations, you've won a favourite of your choice!
Winner: Time Vapour by @creepybeagle! First off, awesome art. This maybe should have cost 5, bit I'm not sure. A really cool and unique design. Unfun, while not always massively impactful. Congratulations, you've won two favourites of your choice!
@Brainifyer Wait, hold up... I succeeded at making a balanced non-dual land? Huh. I thought that was my worst area of card design. Anywho... just fav your personal fav card in my gallery. I'd rather you pick a card you really like rather than one I think should be popular.
Runner up is Cromwell, Prognoticus by @AbzanCompany !
Winner is Yaodir, Defeated by Bolas by @AbzanCompany !
Well then AbzanCompany, you win three more favourites. You have succeed in making some cool and unfun planeswalkers. I especially like Yaodir, because all his abilities make people groan.

Judging for the other areas will come soon.
I don't know if that's good or bad, since this is an UNfun challenge!
