ATW wrote:

Well, it doesn't have to be a human skeleton does it? It could be a Wurm or Dragon skeleton.
So now the next challenge is something I have wanted to post here anyways but the timing is ironic as there has been some recent controversy on this subject here lately... I want you to design a card that does do what a color can't do. There are some rules though:
1. It HAS to make sense mechanically and in flavor.
2. You cannot simply raise the CMC or rarity (not to be confused with appropriate balancing).
3. It does not have to be mono-colored but it has to do something that all colors it possesses does not do.
4. It cannot have anything to do with a color that has that effect aka no "if you control an Island" or "if was spent to cast this".
If I have confused anyone here are some examples:
Green does not get spot removal. Wing Snare is a good example of how green can do it. Unyaro Bee Sting is a bad example since it is just a raise in CMC.
Red does not get card draw. Browbeat is a great example of red getting around that.
White does not get counterspells. Lapse of Certainty is a great example of how it can.
Hope that sets the stage. I will shoot for judging next Sat or Sun (my schedule is determined by my newborn). Let the games begin!
Challenge -10- Good job.
Balance -5- Way to good. You take out everything but a few cards that give you shroud and you win.
Beauty -10- I like it, I always liked demons that hurt you in some way.

The next time a source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, prevent that damage. That source's controller loses life equal to the damage prevented this way. The golden rule of revenge: Do unto others what they tried to do unto you.

I'm actually not sure. My original intent to have it just be from letting mana empty from your mana pool between phases, and then I thought, "Maybe it'll apply to when you use mana to cast spells..." And now I sit here and wonder.

So many great entries. Also, for ElmdorMesdoram's entry - Vizzerdrix. Although, tbqh, I never really saw any flavor in that card either.
Congrats, Guitarweeps! Props for such a slick ability.

I thought insatiable one would be just a little bit too powerful, especially in multiplayer, trust me to forget to check mana costs at the end of a card design. Still, I'm happy with the big tie for third with 29 points.

Congrats Guitarweeps! By the way, @ATW, it's an Ooze Mutant, it's mutation makes the Ooze beast-like, even by itself most Oozes are having devouring concept but yeah this card is too "I win" card and I respect of your word when you don't see Ooze and beast (not creature type) in common
After all, I want to use a different creature type than other contestants
ORAORAORA!!!!!
Could you rate my card too?
Please?
Wow thanks! I really liked how the card turned out so I am glad everyone liked it.
So now the next challenge is something I have wanted to post here anyways but the timing is ironic as there has been some recent controversy on this subject here lately... I want you to design a card that does do what a color can't do. There are some rules though:
1. It HAS to make sense mechanically and in flavor.
was spent to cast this".
2. You cannot simply raise the CMC or rarity (not to be confused with appropriate balancing).
3. It does not have to be mono-colored but it has to do something that all colors it possesses does not do.
4. It cannot have anything to do with a color that has that effect aka no "if you control an Island" or "if
If I have confused anyone here are some examples:
Green does not get spot removal.
Wing Snare is a good example of how green can do it. Unyaro Bee Sting is a bad example since it is just a raise in CMC.
Red does not get card draw.
Browbeat is a great example of red getting around that.
White does not get counterspells.
Lapse of Certainty is a great example of how it can.
Hope that sets the stage. I will shoot for judging next Sat or Sun (my schedule is determined by my newborn). Let the games begin!

Challenge -10- Good job.
Balance -5- Way to good. You take out everything but a few cards that give you shroud and you win.

My bad, of course it should have been "from the top of your library" not "search your library for any number of cards".
Seems I kinda lacked concentration when I was posting that, the order of the mana symbols are wrong too...
nvmd, I'll do better next time.
Thanks for judging the card anyways!

Search your library for a land card, reveal it, and put it onto the battlefield. If it's basic, tap it.

The next time a source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, prevent that damage. That source's controller loses life equal to the damage prevented this way.
The golden rule of revenge: Do unto others what they tried to do unto you.
Cost is high: 1C more than Reverse Damage. I assume 2 can be considered the difference between life loss and life gain (example: Mangara's Blessing and Lava Axe), and this card feels wrong at 3BB.

Target creature becomes a 0/0 with no abilities until end of turn.
Whoever said size doesn't matter, was probably really short.
So, I thought of many concepts as to what certain colors can't do and that many colors can do stuff that is outside their specialty; and of course, black can do anything if you pay the price (or life). But what about stealing your opponent's stuff? Blue's specialty for sure, but we've seen our fair share of it in red, certainly black, and even a bit in white; but green? May I present:

Tap X untapped creatures you control: Gain control of target creature with power less than X.

Like fire, hellfire, this fire in my skin, this burning desire...
Red can't destroy creatures (other than by bringing them to a horrible death by burning alive) and enchantments, and blue can't destroy any permanents (with rare exceptions like Pongify or Frozen Solid, and when it does the phrase "It jumps though a loop or two" is the understatement of the day).

Kicker
Target permanent becomes an artifact in addition to its other types. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)
If Chrome and Crush was kicked, destroy target permanent if it’s an artifact.

Holy crap. Nice card Lord Joakim; way to twist a red ability onto a blue card.
Also, I think your wording works perfectly.
