Last Week's Winner



The poll: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28577
The quip: Looks like Raz brought the 'ol Ball and Chain. Gonna really weigh down this party.
The Winner



The Contenders

Alara's Rejoining

Enchantment (M)
At the beginning of your upkeep, search your library for a basic land card that doesn't share a type with another basic land you control, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. Then if there are five or more land types among basic lands you control, sacrifice Alara's Rejoining and create a Fusion Elemental token. (It's a 8/8 Elemental creature.)


Quantum Overdrive
Enchantment (R)
Discard a card: Exile the top card of your library. You may play it this turn.
Fblthp was rarely ready for anything, but he certainly wasn't ready for this.


The Ego
Legendary Enchantment (R)
When The Ego enters the battlefield, look at the top seven cards of your library, then exile them into a randomized face-down pile. Draw a card.
If you would draw a card, you may instead put a card exiled by The Ego into your hand.
"Reality is... whatever I choose it to be."

Highfold Drakeling
Creature - Drake (U)
Flying
Whenever Highfold Drakeling attacks, stash the top card of your library. (Exile it. It gains ", Discard a card: Put this card into your hand.")
: Return Highfold Drakeling to its owner's hand.
Poachers in Highfold often track drakelings to their roosts, hoping to profit not just from their valuable fangs and talons but also from the hoards of trinkets they keep.
1/2

Kumena Seeks Orazca
Enchantment — Saga
I, II: Search the top five cards of your library for a land card, reveal it and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom shuffled.
III: Permanent cards in your graveyard have retrace until end of turn.

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.
