Last Week's Winner



The poll: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28554
The quip: There were some pretty big brain submissions last week, but only BelangiaJo measured in on the cosmic scale.
The Winner



The Contenders



Fill the Void
Instant
Add one mana of any color.
Draw a card.
"What was once lost, can never be regained; only replaced," - Joraga elder

Oddroach

Creature – Eldrazi Insect
Sacrifice Oddroach: Add .
Whenever you cast a colorless spell with mana value 6 or greater, return Oddroach from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
“Those tentacled fiends will not breach Thraben, captain,” the cathar reported, absently brushing an insect from his coat.
1/1


Cosmic Blast
Instant (R)
Cosmic Blast deals 5 damage to any target. Prevent that damage.
“The stars would kill us if they could, you know.”
—Arcum


Wandering the Wrinkles
Enchantment (R)
If you would mill any amount of cards from your library, instead look at the top X cards of your library, where X is that many cards plus one. Put one of those cards on top of your library and the rest into your graveyard.
Such curious paths life leads us down.

Sharp-snout Scout -
Creature - Mouse Scout
When ~ enters the battlefield, create a food token.
At the beginning of your end step, if food entered the battlefield under your control this turn, create a 1/1 white Mouse creature token.
1/1

Country Mouse
Creature ─ Mouse (U)
You may sacrifice a Food you control rather than pay Country Mouses' mana cost.
, tap an untapped Country Mouse you control: Create a token copy of Country Mouse.
Skulk (This creature can’t be blocked by creatures with greater power.)
1/1


Libe wrote:
Living Law

Creature -- Elemental (U)
Flying
When Living Law enters, create three Red Tape tokens attached to target nonland permanent. (They’re auras that stop it from attacking, blocking, or activating abilities. A player may destroy a Red Tape by paying as a sorcery.)
As long as an Aura you control is attached to a permanent you don't control, Living Law has hexproof.
4/4

The Rules



How To Nominate:
Quote the post with the card you want to nominate. Delete everything in that post other than the card. Copy and paste your quote into a post on this thread.
If you did it right the quote tag should link to the original post.

What's Eligible?
Any fan-designed M:TG card posted since the most recent CotW thread went live is eligible. It doesn't even have to be the first time the card was posted. Yes, Un cards are valid. No, Yugioh cards are not.

What's Not Eligible?
  • Nominating your own cards. You can only nominate cards by other people.
  • Nominating a card from your own repost, regardless of whether or not the original post was yours.
  • Nominations that result from collusion. If a nomination is made in exchange for some sort of favor, or under some sort of threat, then the nomination is void.
  • Cards that have already won CotW are not eligible for future CotWs.
  • Nominations that I consider to be jokes or trolling.

A Note On Contests:
Many contest holders feel that having an entrant nominated for CotW will skew the results of their contest. To prevent this while still allowing those cards their chance at nomination, any card submitted to a contest is eligible for nomination to CotW as though the date the contest (or pertinent round of the contest) ended was the date the card was posted.

Ooh, yeah I should do that. I just assumed they were aura tokens with no ability, that just, like made something enchanted.

Also, why so little love for country mouse? I thought the little guy would be leading the poll.
