I'm really glad you changed this from your first entry, that was just awful. I really like this card except for the hexproof. Seems too good with that, maybe it would be ok if it was a rare, but you forgot rarity. Flavour is pretty sweet, love the flavour text. Interesting that Litigate effects both players... Given that it effects everyone, I'm surprised you still have a life loss associated with it. I think a 1/1 flyer with no life loss would have been more appropriate, nice card though. B+

Put three 1/1 green Saproling creature tokens onto the battlefield.

I assume you mean, "that shares a creature type with it", right? Cause every creature shares the type, "creature", with it. I get it though. So, you like bears, do ya? Lots and lots of bears.... I.... don't like this ability. Too.... I don't know. who the hell wants to make a bear deck? This just forces you into a tribal themed deck, which is really not likely to be the focus of RtR. Poor job. C-

I do really like the card, it's awesome actually, but the ability is just giving a name to something that already exists. You didn't really create anything. Very very sweet card though, I want it. B-

Before even reading this I fucking hate Hybrid, I should have said no Hybrid in the challenge... ugh. Anyways, I'll actually read the card now....
Not bad I guess. I don't like how you can target multiple creatures though, seems overly powerful and makes the flavour a little more wonky. I can't see this being on a Mono green creature though. The Golgari ability should fit on BG, mono G and mono B cards. For this, I will have to give you a lower grade. C

Grieving Agony (Creatures damaged by this permanent can't be regenerated. Whenever this permanent deals damage to a player, that player loses that much life.)
T: Rakdos Sulfurmage deals 1 damage to target creature or player.
1/1 |
Er.... nothing seems connected here. It's like double strike against players, but not against creatures? non regeneration seems random... I just don't get it. Just a bunch of stuff and words, I don't really get the flavour either. It's almost like an awful version of infect. C

2/2 |
Hrmmmm.... I don't really get how this is even an ability. it's just putting a 1/1 into play. Is it recruit cause it's based on the colour? I don't know dude.... Just.... no. That's not even an ability imo. You're just giving a name to something pretty common place. D

Woah! Not just as a sorcery? Madness! Hrmmm.... Seems reasonable I guess. Well.... you see, a creature that had swap is fine, but making this card that just gives it to EVERY creature is a problem. I know I want new ideas, but the card it's on matters too.... ugh... I have no idea. Fuck it, it's a pretty sweet ability. Seems like a lot of fun to play with, and just the kind of wackiness the Izzet might get into. Good stuff. But I don't like the card per se, I think you should have put it on something more simple as a showcase card. A-

That is very awkward and not very good. Why would your opponent cast something of 3 with this out when you have 2 mana up? Very clumsy entry. C

Flash.
Spellcraft (Whenever you cast this spell, choose a color that shares a color with this spell. The next spell you cast this turn costs one less mana of the chosen color.)
Close your eyes and imagine a world without unreachable knowledge. You have just glimpsed my master's mind.
2/1 |
I don't see the point of having to choose one of the colours, just have it make the next spell that shares a colour with it cost less. That way it more easily works for the mono R and mono U Izzet cards. Anyways, the ability is pretty dumb, so it doesn't matter. C

Ugh.... this card is terrible. I suppose the ability is neat, but you should have showcased it on something better, like a 2U sorcery that draws you 2 or something. On this card it's just garbage imo. Yeah, it's a neat ability but like.... ugh. B-

Pretty sweet card. The mechanic is obviously too good. With multiple recycle creatures it's just like... Unkillable creatures. There has to be some kind of exiling involved to keep it balanced imo. B

Er..... pretty neat I guess. Good with dredge 4 or 5 given the cards can hit your yard from anywhere. For T2 this seems atrocious (bad) given Dredge isn't in. Salvage of 5? Crazy. Weaksauce card, neat mechanic. Subpar grade. B-

Alrighty, judging is done. Only 2 A+'s, so this makes my job easy. The winner is ShamedShadow!!! Props to Jpsn54 with a close 2nd, I just think your card is probably too good, and Spiteful just tickled my fancy a little bit more.

Very cool card, very flavourful. Still think it should have been a goblin though. 
Thanks to everyone who submitted. That was very hard to judge. It's not easy trying to gauge power levels of new abilities in a vacuum. GL in the next round everybody! |

Go cac 135
To answer the Jacois question:
My card ask for a manacost because it does 3 for 1:
Opponent sac à creat
You gain a 1/1
You exile a creat in a graveyard
I think it would be too powerful without condition. | Quote: | Savra's Cage (1)BG

I didn't realize it was a creature from ANY graveyard. I think that makes it more unintuitive. I still think it should be a creature from your yard of any cost. And exiling a creature from a graveyard isn't CA. |

| Well since this CaC was about showing a mechanic, I intentionally chose a card concept that appears in every block. The cmc1 red burn spell. Sorry, if that bored you so badly. But from your submissions I could have guessed, that you like flashy overpowered stuff. |

| I can actually follow jacois' ruling that it should be on a card with a higher casting cost. The net gain from the ability is marginal, as {R} is quit easy to cast, and its not as good as any of the previous {R} spells, as it is sorcery speed. |

Jacois, I totally agree with your appraisal of my card. I was trying to mix around a whole bunch of things and couldn't quite get it nailed down exactly the way I wanted. I don't think a 1/1 flying would've been good enough, though - I was playing with a 1/3 body as well but I just couldn't quite figure it out, though I really liked the idea in general.
Congrats to the winning card, when I saw it I was pretty sure it was going to win. Very clever take on a Bloodthirst/Hellbent combination. |
