Don't forget people, the point of this thread is to find something to nominate (like say a certain somebody's Timmyriffic masterpiece with interesting costing decisions). So far only one card from here's actually gotten the nod.

JadeCryptWish: This card is so insanely overpowered.

Ogre: When I saw your first entry I was just ready to name you the winner of the contest and move on. I'm more than a little disappointed that you changed your entry. I still like this one too, but you don't win as hard now.

Cangaroo01: There is no justification for this card to be legendary. Legendarily boring, maybe.

Storyteller: This is a pretty uninspiring Ball Lightning, I'll say that much.

Dudibus: This card is very useless in over 99% of games; It's too meta.

YingLung: This reminds me of Sakashima the Imposter a bit. The ability is pretty bad though, since he becomes a copy of the creature but then can't attack or use any of its activated abilities. So it might as well just be "gain control of target creature until end of turn" which is a red ability anyways

Van: This is an ok card, but I can just myself sacrificing him in their next upkeep after using him to destroy two creatures.

Caldooooooooooora: The name is **** and you should feel bad, but I like the card a lot. This kind of card is fun to try and abuse and I think you did a good job making this. Saving your stuff from counterspells and redirects is an added bonus. I wish it had a blink/return to hand ability though but that would probably be too OP on a 2 cmc card.

Cato: I saw this card when you posted it before and it is good, but it could just as easily be nonlegendary and just have a momentary blink effect.

Phoenix Toph: This card is interesting, but I think it is underpowered. I thought it was worse before I remembered that you could target your opponent's spells, but I think it is a neat idea.

Confused: This card is really not that blue. Provoke is also historically not blue or red. The abilities it gets during additional combat phases might as well be active all the time, considering how much it costs to play this guy.

Tevish Szat: This card should be black. The ability to kill every creature in play is not a green or blue ability.

Winners: Caldooooooooooora42 and Ogre

Actually, under the current legend rule, it kills the legendary creature and is a copy for the rest of the turn. Also, you get whatever death triggers are on the original legenadary creature.

It's not just a blink. It's also a morbid trigger, a change into token for populate effects, doubling season, or an unlucky opposing bounce spell, the opportunity to recur it with raise dead effects, and most importantly, a whole bunch of flavor.

Ya know I didn't realize that, if i caught it I probably would have changed that to an end of turn trigger rather than upkeep.
