I'm also interested to hear whether this seems like a good way to set up a contest or not, since it's a bit different to the normal way people do them. I'm wondering whether it's something I could bring back again every once in a while, focusing on …

@joemamajoe Right, time to talk some stuff. I'll start with wording changes, then move on to balance and a few recommendations: When Knight of Temperance enters the battlefield, if its extremist cost was paid, creatures you control get +1/+1 and gai…

Generic question about whether you're allowed to enter old cards. I don't believe that it'd impact me in the slightest, but I know at least a few other 'smiths have got some good oldies. Other, less generic question. You say in the rules "Make card…
-
@SNAPcreator7 I'll start with wording, then talk balance and concept notes: Whenever you draw your second card each turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target Squirrel you control. {G}{G}, {T}: Until end of turn, whenever a triggered ability of target Squ…

My final two entries come as a pair, and they might even need to be judged as one, too.
-
@JMGreer41 Oops, you've missed a page. The card you commented on's at the end of one page, and you forgot to turn over to the next. You should actually have been focusing on Shadow123's cards (they're in a comment a little way above yours). Since we…

@joemamajoe Since I feel it necessary to respond to one of those and so might as well do the other two: - I considered Berserker, but decided that he didn't really look berserk in the art and that Warrior would better fit Battlebond's Warrior trib…

@fire12 As is traditional, I'll talk wording and then go over some points about balance and design: Combine Sparks can't be countered. Choose two planeswalkers you control. Move all loyalty counters from one of the chosen planeswalkers to the other…

Ooh, victory! Thank you, and good luck to everyone else in the remaining qualifier weeks!
-
Fifth entry. Well, for now. There's a legitimate chance that this guy'll get replaced by a different version of himself from another universe / design idea. Yes, I'm being serious when I say that.
-
Any particular end date, or will it just finish when you feel like finishing it?
-
Oh, and another. The rules state that a card's name in the rules text only counts as one word for the word counting's purpose. Does this also apply to the specific names of other cards? For example, Sylvia Brightspear has twelve words (and is theref…
-
Also, I have a foreboding question about the rules. In the case of a card with a second card embedded (such as Adventures), do name, types, subtypes, and any other details of similar nature count towards the twelve words? A real example of what I me…
-
Entry number four. Probably the last of my sane entries before I begin devolving into crazy frames and nonsensical gimmicks.
-
A little late, but congratulations to the winners and thank you for the contest! I'll take my favorites on whatever I've made that you feel deserves them.

@fire12 Oh, it does do something. See True-Name Nemesis, scourge of some parts of the Legacy format and ruiner of peoples' days. It's real card, and it isn't nice. Technically, the reminder text for Pious Devotee would read: (This creature can’t be …
-
@fire12 Here's a few points about the card: - In terms of power, this is probably totally fine. There aren't any cards that make perfect comparisons, but it's a small support creature with a demanding cost (in terms of color to amount) for an effe…
-
EDIT / ADDITIONAL NOTE The reminder text for this card's ability would be: (This creature can’t be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, or enchanted by anything controlled by players with one or less devotion to colors.) I'm putting this here since mul…

Turncoat's a reskin of Spy by SorinJace. I chose to rename it to fit the card flavor and reword it slightly to fix a handful of minor wording issues in the original version.
-
@TerryTags Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't checked or realised because they were talking about a card that didn't seem to be right. That's my bad.
-
@LordTachanka123 I suspect that you've missed one or more pages and forgotten to go to the most recent one. The most recent card-to-consider should currently be TerryTags' Levelling the Fields.
-
@fire12 Perhaps you just don't know the card, and perhaps this isn't the place to say it, but that feels like it's stepping way too heavily on Gild's toes. https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/details.aspx?multiverseid=378445

@joemamajoe In case you don't know, the Pauper format is a format in which you can only play cards that have been printed at common at least once. It's a wonderful format for players who want an eternal-format-ish experience without having to sink i…
-
@CassZero Ooh, frame shenanigans. There are a handful of points to be made, so I'll list them: - You've missed the full stop from "Resurgent of Vastwood enters the battlefield with four +1/+1 counters on it." Very minor, but it's a thing. - The …
-
Primal by michaelmvm: Primal [COST] (You may cast this spell for its primal cost. Spend only mana produced by basic lands to pay that cost.) Well, the primal mechanic inspired me to actually do something, so here's a strange selection of something…
-
@CassZero I think the point is that the card name, no matter how many words long, will always be considered a single word.
-
Well, this has forced me to look through my creations and face the fact that I've only actually made a handful of short cards. That's probably something I should work on. Of those, only two actually feel good enough to be entries in this, so here ar…

IN Out in out shake it all about, you do the hokey cokey...

Well, this looks interesting. I'll throw a couple of my favorite frame-works into the ring:
