Last Week's Winner



The poll: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28632
The quip: Sorry it took a while to update the winner, but I found myself tied up back there.
The Winner



The Contenders

Serpent of Fathomless Secrets
Creature - Serpent (U)
When this creature deals excess combat damage to a creature, draw that many cards.
They say that where serpents rage, ancient wrecks are pushed ashore.
7/4


Revolutionary Brigade
Creature — Human Rebel (R)
Haste
Whenever Revolutionary Brigade deals combat damage to a player who controls more lands than you, destroy target land that player controls.
“Why should we settle for crumbs while they eat cake?”
4/3

Eiganjo Katana

Equipped creature has lifelink as long as you control three or more artifacts, and vigilance as long as you control three or more enchantments.
Equip


Taken
Sorcery (R)
Taken costs less to cast if it targets a summoning sick creature, less to cast if it targets a creature you own, less to cast if it targets a token creature, and less to cast if it targets the only creature on the battlefield.
Gain control of target creature.
"I will find you."


Deja Vu Machine
Artifact (R)
, : You may put a creature card with mana value X or less from your hand onto the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step.

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.

Oath of Protection
Legendary Enchantment (R)
: Create Sir Lhora, a legendary 3/3 white Knight creature token, then put an age counter on Oath of Protection. X is the number of age counters on Oath of Protection.
"Do not swear your life away lightly," said Sir Myral to a young Lhora. "Your back will arch like mine one day, and your arms will strain to lift your sword--and still your duty to the Queen will continue."

Fading Memories
Enchantment - Aura (R)

Imprint — At the beginning of enchanted opponent's upkeep, they exile three cards from their graveyard. Then, if there are no cards in their graveyard, transform Fading Memories.
//TDFC//
Fading Identity
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant opponent
At the beginning of enchanted opponent's upkeep, they mill a number of cards equal to the number of cards exiled with this enchantment. (Imprinted cards persist through transforming.)

Age determines your definition of victory.

Keep Calm
Sorcery (U)
Target player discards two cards unless they beg for mercy. (If they do, add the mercy half of this card to this spell's effects.)
~~~~~
Carry On
Sorcery - Mercy (U)
Search your library for a card, put it in your hand, then shuffle your library.


I'm nominating this 'cause it's good but it would also put Rush further ahead of me in the Hall of Fame so no one's allowed to vote for it

Not to be too much of a hater but I think to permanently gain control of a creature that just entered is way out of pie and undercosted. on turn two to steal your opponent's first play is also kind of wild.

Also, nominating this one because I like it more than the tutor:
Stop
Instant (U)
Counter target spell unless its controller begs for mercy. (If they do, add the mercy half of this card to this spell's effects.)
~~~~~
Smell the Roses
Instant - Mercy (U)
Look at the top four cards of your library. Put two in your hand and the rest on the bottom.

Nah, it's probably way broken. But, like, maybe not MH4 broken?

This spell costs less to cast for each card you own in exile.
Return X target creature cards from your graveyard to your hand.
The tyranny of the dragonlords had to end to make room for a new kind of tyranny.
