Last Week's Winner



The poll: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28646
The quip: Shazzeh has sworn their life away- a paltry fee for CotW glory!
The Winner



The Contenders



Avalanche Elemental
Creature - Elemental (U)
Haste
Hellbent Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, create a 1/1 red Elemental creature token. If you have no cards in hand, that token gets gains haste until end of turn.
Falling is natural.
3/3


Shazzeh wrote:
Occupation of Fenhead
Battle - Siege (U)
Enrage — Whenever Occupation of Fenhead is dealt damage, create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token.
Foul-smelling, bug-infested, and far-flung, Fenhead was considered the worst possible assignment for an Imperial soldier.


//

Peat-Torch Riot
Sorcery
Peat-Torch Riot deals damage to any target equal to the number of creatures you control.
Within just a few years, the deserters outnumbered those who stayed, and the Garrison burned.


Reality Bites
Sorcery
Reality Bites deals damage to target creature equal to the number of forests you control.
Reality Bites deals damage to target player equal to the number of mountains you control.




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

Preferred Pronoun Set: they
Control the Narrative
Sorcery (U)
Draw a card, then each player reveals their hand. For each player, you choose a nonland card revealed this way, and its owner discards it.
House Dimir's secrets are well-kept, and they know just how powerful it can be to let one loose.


Beguiling Cohort
Creature - Devil (C)
Haste
Play with the top card of your library revealed.
"Aren't ya just a wee bit curious? Let me stick around, and ya might see a thing or two that'll blow ya away."
[3/1]

Cruel Courtier
Creature — Human Noble Advisor
At the beginning of your upkeep, target opponent looks at the top card on your library and chooses a number. You may put that card in your hand and lose life equal to the chosen number. Otherwise, exile that card and that opponent loses life equal to the chosen number.
For all its evils, war is a game that you at least know you are playing. No such nicety exists for politics.
1/1

:t:: Scry 3. An opponent controls you while you scry this way. Then, draw a card.
Though General Khurzog's closest advisors frequently made the case for surrender, their aid was nonetheless invaluable.
1/1


Guardian of Firm Resolve
Creature - Angel
Flying, vigilance
Play with exactly one card revealed from your hand. You may change the revealed card at the beginning of your upkeep, or whenever you have no revealed cards in your hand.
You can't play cards from your hand other than the revealed card.
An oath taken in Lady Veratia's name forms a bond stronger than steel.

This particular card is completely unplayable unless you have an enchantment sacrifice outlet permanent, and I do not care because it is amazing.
