I agree with Morgothra, we need to kick these forums into gear with some threads. So, here's a quick contest while I try and figure out a new long-term one.

Criteria: Design a fantasy fantasy card that uses two pre-existing mechanics that have never been featured on a card together before.

You have until.... umm.... sometime. A few days at least. I dunno.

~SE++

Hamlet
Legendary Creature - Human Citizen
Defender, vigilance
4/4

Yawgmoth's Shadow
Sorcery
Choose one - Search target player's library for X cards where X is your devotion to black, and exile them; each opponent loses X life, where X is your devotion to black and you gain life equal to the life lost this way; or return X creature cards from any graveyard to the battlefield under your control where X is your devotion to black.

Epic (For the rest of the game, you can't cast spells. At the beginning of each of your upkeeps, copy this spell except for its epic ability.)

"It's odd. All we can find at the dig site are the words 'He comes.' written in almost every known language on almost every conceivable object. I'm getting worried." - Bartle, Galishan Archeologist

Duskstill Avenger -
Creature- Human Rogue
Undying, Soulshift 4
Spirit spells you cast cost less to cast.
2/2

Flesh Eating Wurm
Creature - Wurm
Threshold - ~ gets +1/+1 for each creature in your graveyard
Dredge 3

Disciple of the Void
Creature - Human Cleric
Hellbent Threshold - ~ gets +3/+3 and has first strike and deathtouch as long as you have no cards in hand and at least seven cards in your graveyard.
3/3
Step 1: Become one with nothing
Step 2: ???

Karui Mauler |
Creature - Human Berserker
Deathtouch, Frenzy 2
1/1

I'll finish this card later

There are some really awesome ideas in this thread.

Phyrexian Compleation
Legendary Enchantment Artifact

As long as your devotion to Phyrexia is greater than your devotion to each color, creatures you control get +2/+2 and are artifacts in addition to their other types. (Each in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to Phyrexia.)

Sunrise Sapling
Creature—Treefolk Druid (C)
Kicker
: Add to your mana pool.
If ~ was kicked, it enters the battlefield transformed.
Green branches stretch skyward, welcoming the sun.
1/1

///////

Ancient Gnarl
() Creature—Treefolk Warrior
Trample
Knotted limbs hang heavy, denying the thieving axes of men.
6/6

Yeah, it's a simple one. But I bet the art would be really cool

Yavimaya Burl
Creature - Treefolk Shaman
Undying, Persist
When ~ dies, exile target non-forest land.
When ~ enters the battlefield, you may put a land card in exile onto the battelfield under your control.
2/2
Trees don't heal; they enclose.

Seharie, Archmage of the Void
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
Delve (You may remove any number of cards in your graveyard from the game as you play this spell. It costs less to play for each card removed this way.)
Threshold — You may play cards from your graveyard. If a card would be put into your graveyard from anywhere, exile that card instead.

2/2

Memory Slogger
Creature - Ooze Spirit
Scavenge
Transmute
2/3
It digs through thoughts with the same vigor it used to direct at piles of garbage.

Someone is doing this contest right at least.

Harbinger of Souls
Creature - Demon
Convoke, Delve
Flying, Trample, Deathtouch
~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters.
0/0

Night Watchman |
Creature - Spirit Soldier
Shadow, vigilance
: Night Watchman deals 1 damage to target attacking creature.
Haunted by his failure, he now stands his post through eternity.
2/2

Hey!

Your card is fine but isn't using the correct wording for threshhold

Voice of Sheoldred

Instant
Target player discards a card
Replicate
Retrace

Power and toughness are often good on creatures. Just sayin'.

~SE++

So far we have:

Dudibus
AzureShade
Confused
tony3
Morgothra
Ko
Temjen
Steinhauser
YingLung
miss_bun
cato
LilyStorm
Imidazoline
Tevish Szat

Looks like quite a few people are participating so far, which is awesome. Perhaps I should redo my Video Game Title contest here.... or maybe go with Song Titles.... or something. That could be fun. Well, 14 players, maybe we can hit 20! (probably not)
