Last Week's Winner



The poll: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28655
The quip: News of BelangiaJo's design raised quite a cry. Don't believe everything you here about it though.
The Winner


The Contenders



Cato wrote:
Faust the Foresightful :1::w::u:
Legendary Creature - Human Advisor
When Faust enters the battlefield and at the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, you may name a nonland card.
Whenever an opponent casts a spell with the last chosen name, you may draw a card.
3/3


Asura Intervention
Instant (R)
Whenever a source would deal damage this turn, prevent that damage, gain that much life, and draw a card.
As the decree to suspend the battle echoed across the sikes, the flying warmachines of Esper and the wyrms of Jund alike descended to sit down in quiet contemplation.


Displacement
Instant
Creatures phase out.


Cato wrote:
Aurelia's Leadership :4::w::r:
Instant
Prevent all damage that would be dealt by creatures you don't control this turn.
Whenever a creature you control would deal combat damage this turn, it deals twice that much damage instead.


Varchild's Marauder
:1::r:
Creature - Human Warrior {U}
Whenever a creature dealt damage by Varchild's Marauder this turn dies, its controller creates a 1/1 red survivor creature token.
"Always let one go. The fear they spread is worth more than a corpse."
3/3


Pressing Needs
Sorcery (R)
Each player exiles the top three cards of their deck faceup. For each of those cards, as long as it remains exiled, it's owner may play it, and they lose 1 life at the beginning of their upkeep.

This spell costs less to cast if it’s not your turn.

Temporal Trenches
Enchantment
Whenever a creature enters, it phases out.

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.

how do we feel about Un cards in CotW? my instinct is I don't love it, but I also do want to nominate the winners of the last YMtCotW like normal. thoughts?

I may be biased as someone who received a 5/5, but I feel like the fact that Autograph Elemental is a Card of the Week itself is proof enough that if it's fair enough to do a YMtCotW round off of, then it's fair to nominate.

Add them. They were inspired by a former COTW winner that was an un-card!

If nobody wants un cards, they won't get votes and won't win.

That said, people seem to not be fans of Un cards. They don't get nominated often and rarely win. I personally don't hold being Un against a card. A good design is a good design.

well ok then

Loxodon Sniper | :2::w::b:
Creature - Elephant Assassin

Whenever a creature deals damage to you, note its name. Cards remain noted this way until the end of the match.
:1::wb::wb:, :t:: ~ deals 5 damage to target tapped creature you noted with cards named ~.

An elephant never forgets. A hitman never misses.

2/5

Duel of Wit
Sorcery
You and target opponent each search their library for exactly three cards and play a Three Card Magic subgame with those cards. Each player may put one of those cards into their hand for each subgame they won this way, then shuffles the rest into their library. (You both play one game as the start player.)


Quantum Trailblazer
Creature — Human Wizard Gamer (C)
If a card named Quantum Trailblazer has ever dealt combat damage to an opponent you're playing against, Quantum Trailblazer gets +1/+0 and has haste. (And we do mean ever.)

I think Varchild's Marauder shouldn't trigger on its own tokens it creates, because as it stands it's infinitely chumpable. Otherwise, I really like the card.

Counter target spell if it shares a name with a card in a graveyard.

I debated a LOT of clauses for that: Protection from Survivors, Trample, Nontoken, and others that would have been more words. But I decided at uncommon it was probably best not to overtune. Probably should have given it one of the first two because Watchwolf is no longer a big deal but I played it safe and let "infinite chump if you can't clear a 1/1" be a thing.

Coming back in for a second nomination since I like this one too.

Homunculus Horde

Amass Homunculus 4 and vigilance. (Put 4 +1/+1 counters and a vigilance counter on an Army you control. It’s also a Homunculus. If you don’t control an Army, create a 0/0 black Homunculus Army creature token first.)
