Last Week's Winner



The poll: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28650
The quip: The crowds would riot if Shazzeh didn't occupy the top spot.
The Winner



The Contenders




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

You can't cast spells. (Including plotted ones.)
I, II, III: Plot a nonland card from your hand or graveyard. You lose life equal to it's mana cost.

Boros Tactician :2::w::r:
Creature - Human Soldier
At the beginning of combat on your turn, target opponent chooses any number of creatures they control. Those creatures block this combat if able, and other creatures that player controls can't block this combat.
4/4
"She read our maneuvers like a book, and knew all our units' positions before the battle even began."
-Rozar, Golgari agent


Orcish Strategist
:1::r:
Creature - Orc Advisor
: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.
4/4





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.

I do not see what you're talking about. Everything looks good to me.
Unrelatedly, the poll was reset.
