Ok, round is closed! This is the versus round; void and I will each judge both brackets and the winner from each will move on to the finals.

Riria vs. Henlock
Venedrex vs. Daylit
Ink-Treader vs. Subject16

Goreteg takes a moment to savor his victory, then begins rummaging around the collected offerings looking for something good. He happily discards the journal that he'd been carrying, since it no longer seems relevant. He is unconcerned about the falling rocks, since he can't be injured by them -- in...

Just a heads-up to @Venedrex that <12 hours remain to get your entry in (or request an extension). Given that it's already March and we haven't even moved on to the finals yet (to be fair, February is a *very* short month), I don't want to let this round hang for too long.

Huh. Definitely an unusual card. Not the most elegant -- took me multiple tries to grok -- and to be honest, not really my type of card, but I can definitely see how it would appeal to some people. It would result in some very complicated decisions, though, which is the biggest risk with these type...

Protective Spirit 3WW Creature - Spirit (R) Graft 4 (This creature enters the battlefield with four +1/+1 counters on it. Whenever another creature enters the battlefield, you may move a +1/+1 counter from this creature onto it.) Flying 1W : Exile another target creature with a +1/+1 counter on it....

Hemispherotomy 2BB Sorcery (R) Target opponent divides their hand into a face-up pile and a face-down pile. Choose one of those piles. That player discards those cards. "You once told me that I must have only half a brain, but now it is you who will find out what that is like." -Sveera, Virtuoso of...

Goreteg pushes his way free of the rubble. A normal creature would have been crushed beneath the stone, but for Goreteg it was just like an extended swim. He exhales deeply, then inhales, smelling the scent of fresh earth from the cracks above. Then he regards the horrible foe before them. Goreteg m...

Judgements are done -- next round to come later this afternoon, so questions/concerns have until then.

Grima, Masked Covewalker 1UU Legendary Creature — Shapeshifter (R) Changeling (This card is every creature type.) Boast — 3UU : Grima, Masked Covewalker becomes a copy of another target nonland permanent you control until end of turn, except it's not legendary and it has this ability. (Activate thi...

Top 3 from each bracket advance.

@w0mbat last 3 hours to enter (or ask for an extension) otherwise we'll just proceed with 11, since we're already a day late because of my inability to read a calendar.

OOC: RaikouRider I think you might have forgotten that it takes 2 to use a clue, since you already expended 2W between your spell and the scales. Also, my post will come tomorrow morning. EDIT: I'll just go ahead and judge without including the clue bonus and without giving a total, and Mookie can s...

A fine point -- apparently I don't know how to use a calendar. Real deadline will be tomorrow, since that's what I indicated when I said there were 60 hours left.

Bumping this because it had fallen off the front page and we're still missing entries from @Henlock, @Daylit, @MonoRedMage, and @w0mbat.

EDIT: Just to be clear, there are still 60 hours left -- just wanted to remind people.

Flavor: 3. Makes sense. Design: 2.5. Definitely playing into the same space as Unbreakable Formation and Rootborn Defenses but the blocking part is new. That's probably because blocking tricks aren't very fun or flexible, but the addition of a cantrip ameliorates that somewhat. Development: 2. I don...

Bloodthirsty Ringleader 1BR
Creature - Human Rogue (R)
Haste, menace
Whenever Bloodthirsty Ringleader deals combat damage to a player, discard X cards at random, where X is the number of creatures that dealt combat damage to a player this turn, then draw X cards.
3/2

I'd love another 24 hours -- still not sure about one of my cards.

Yeah, no objections from me. Not planning on changing my submission.

Debtor's Chain 1 Artifact (C) Extort (Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay {W/B} . If you do, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain that much life.) One link weighs no more than your purse, but a full chain is enough to bring you to your knees. Boundless Brood 2 Creature - Shapeshifter (C) Chan...

Mad with Power 2BR
Sorcery (M)
Target player takes an extra turn after this one. That player's maximum hand size becomes zero until the end of that turn.
Sanity is a small price to pay for omnipotence.
