Exile all permanents, cards in hand, cards in graveyards, all but the last five cards in each players library, and reset all life totals to 1. Then each player exiles any remaining cards on the battlefield he or she controls and draws one card.

Well, since 12 mana allows me to draw my entire deck, a 20 cmc should just say "You win." But since that's boring and not the point of the contest I'm going to have to move this into EDH territory since thats likely the only way a card with a 20 cmc would ever see play outside of stupid reanimator or "Not-really-20-cmc-because-Im-reducing-the-cost" type cards.

You control each other player during any turns those players take before your next turn. Each of those players takes an extra turn after their next one.

The Butt: Ko's grudge and your own toolishness aside (♥), this card is fantastic. From start to finish it's flawless. Well, almost flawless. Cheap reanimation is something that already has its niches mostly filled and there's fierce competition. I would've very much so liked to see this as "converted mana cost X or less from your graveyard to the battlefield". It would've made the card more competitive without disrupting the flavor of the card. Also, I can't really condone the addition of rarity as it's relative based upon the set, but it also has no bearing on the card itself. Which is, again, is relatively flawless.

I just realized I mistyped the critique for the winning card. I had quoted what was printed on the card instead of what I thought should be on the card. The Grades Post has been appropriately updated, and if Butt had already seen this, I hope he's a lot less confused.

Each player shuffles all permanents he or she owns, all exiled card he or she owns, his or her hand and his or her graveyard into his or her library. Search your library for seven cards and put them in your hand. Your life total becomes 20.

The etb trigger isn't supposed to activate if it drops off from being an enchantment, which is why I made the bestow cost only . Its bestow is like "When enchanted creature dies, put a 3/3 Fox creature onto the battlefield." without the etb effect. I couldn't think of a fancy flavor text for it so I opted to omit it.

Anyway, Round Two:

Glimmer Matrix -
Artifact Creature - Locus Construct
Trample
~ costs less to cast for each Locus you control.
:10:: Put ten +1/+1 counters on ~ or ten 1/1 Construct artifact creatures onto the battlefield.
: Add three mana of any color to your mana pool.
13/13

That's what I figured and acted on the basis of. I just wanted to confirm that's how you were intending its function.

That is inconsistent with design practices; to keep things basically simple with a weird mechanic, things that bestow always offer what they have to the thing they are bestowed upon. Boon Satyr is essentially the only outlier in that giving a creature already in play flash wouldn't do anything but follows suit in every other way. At :g: , +3/+3 aura for 1 with upside effect that also becomes a elephant is of course too good, but without the +3/+3 its just terribly inconsistent.

Kami of Forgotten Secrets

Kami of Forgotten Secrets costs :1: less to cast for each card in your graveyard
As Kami of Forgotten Secrets enters the battlefield, exile all cards from all graveyards. Kami of Forgotten Secrets enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each card exiled this way.
If a card would be put into a player's graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead and put a +1/+1 counter on Kami of Forgotten Secrets.

You sound like you want to add the word "moron" to your flavour reminder text.

If all creatures have infect and each player has a poison counter, you win the game. Otherwise each opponent gets five poison counters.

This time with a twist


Ok, so, here's how this works. As soon as I clicked "submit", I realized this criteria was a bad idea. At a certain point, any given over-the-top mana cost had might as well be equal to . There's no real way you can justify putting anything but "win more" on a card that's 20cc. Which means that all of these cards are bad and I hate you all.

No, seriously though, I had hoped for more cost-reduction cards, but even I struggled to find something interesting to do with such a mana cost. 20cc is boring, annoying, and bullshit, and I'm sorry I trudged you all through it, and I hope Wizards never actually does something so ridiculous. At the very least, this was a rather quick round by comparison to how long these rounds usually end up lasting. So, what's going to happen, unlike the norm, is I'm not going to be giving personalized critique. If you want a personalized critique, please, feel free to request one. I will certainly give them out if asked, but otherwise, you're going to have to make due with just flat scores. It is currently 1pm and I have been at work doing nothing since 8am. Meaning that I have been mulling over how to give each of you personalized critiques for more or less five hours now and can't bring myself to put down anything constructive.

Again, I apologize, and I hate you all.


Points!
AzureShade: 10
Confused: 6
Tevish Szat: 4
Everyone: 2pts (for putting up with ****)

If you've got the time, it's nice that I won and all, but I'd sure like to read about how you came to that decision.
