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.

Censorship Sorcery(U) Look at target opponent's hand. You may exile a nonland card from it. For as long as that card remains exiled, its owner may play it. A spell cast this way costs more to cast. Silence is a lie when it’s replacing the truth.
*"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

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.

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.
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.

Whenever a creature deals damage to you, note its name. Cards remain noted this way until the end of the match. , : ~ deals 5 damage to target tapped creature you noted with cards named ~.
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'd like to thank the mes who came before me!” 1/2
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.

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.

Homunculus Horde Sorcery 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.)
