Last Week's Winner



The poll: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28611
The quip: Anybody feeling a certain way toward Temjen recently?
The Winner



The Contenders





Orgy of Evidence
Sorcery
Each player investigates 12 times.

Erith Tar, Captain of the Watchers
Legendary Creature - Vedalken Soldier (U)
Vigilance
Untapped creatures get +1/+0.
3/3


Karmic Misfortune
Enchantment (R)
Whenever a player declares an attack, they sacrifice a permanent.
If you are out to do wrong, do not be surprised if nothing you do goes right.


City Bus
Artifact - Vehicle (U)
Haste
Crew 4
Any player may crew City Bus to gain control of it until end of turn. Crew City Bus only as a sorcery.
"Next stop: Mercadia City!"
6/6


Invalidate
Instant (R)
Invalidate costs less to cast if it targets an artifact, less to cast if it targets an enchantment, less to cast if it targets a creature, and less to cast if it targets a land.
Exile target permanent.
Gone... and forgotten.

Arcane Stutter
Instant (U)
Return target permanent or spell to it's owners hand. If you targeted a permanent or spell you control, you may cast it until end of turn without paying its mana cost.

Gitaxian Hypothesizer
Artifact Creature — Phyrexian Wizard
Whenever you discard a card, draw a card. This ability triggers once per turn.
Whenever an opponent draws their second card each turn, they discard a card.

2/2




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.

*"To YMTC it up" means to design cards that have value mostly from a design perspective. i.e. you would put them in a case under glass in your living room and visitors could remark upon the wonderful design principles, with nobody ever worring if the cards are annoying/pointless/confusing in actual play

Karmic Misfortune is a card I badly wish was real.

Preferred Pronoun Set: they
Birth of the New Regime
:x::w::b:
Sorcery
As an additional cost to cast Birth of the New Regime, sacrifice X creatures.
Each opponent sacrifices X creatures. Put X +1/+1 counters on up to one target creature you control.
Joseph Kastov betrayed his king, betrayed his ideals, betrayed his followers, and claimed everything for himself.


Negligence
Enchantment
When ~ enters, exile target nonland permanent until ~ leaves the battlefield.
When ~ leaves, sacrifice a nonland permanent you control.
By sealing Nahiri away in the Helvault, Sorin had consigned both of their homes to ruin.


Syndali Offers Her Blood
Sorcery (R)
As an additional cost to cast Syndali Offers Her Blood, pay X life.
Draw X cards.
“What happens now?” Mocoth stared dispassionately into the bubbling cauldron.
“We wait.” Syndali's lips betrayed half a grin as she watched the elixir begin to brew.

Pyre of Boghaven
Enchantment (R)
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a blaze counter on Pyre of Boghaven. Then Pyre of Boghaven deals damage to you equal to the number of blaze counters on it. Exile that many cards from the top of your library. You may play those cards this turn.
"More kindling!" raved the mayor, maddened by the curse. "We will light up the darkness! We will cleanse this land forever!"

Bind :1: (Attach this to target creature you don't control. Activate only as sorcery.)
Whenever bound creature attacks or blocks, its controller loses life equal to its power.
"Following the righteous path has a price. Are you willing to pay it?"
-Oszar, Citadel Counsel

Shackles are like equipment that you attach to creatures you don't control instead of creatures you control.
