Welcome to New Challenge Every Day!

Today's Challenge:
Splashy Limited Bombs (i.e. Cards that are extremely powerful in Draft or Limited without needing to be built around)

.::To Enter::.
In a single post:
  • Name exactly two other players to vote for their entries for the previous challenge. (In the event that there are two or less entries that you are allowed to vote for, you may vote for only one.)
  • Make a card that fits the current challenge.
  • Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.
Each day we use the challenge of the previous day's winner. In the case of a tie, we'll use the IIW of the tied player who has least overall points.

.::Scoring::.
Votes you receive each day go to your points for the duration of the contest (currently planned to end on Sat Aug 31, at which time the points will reset for the next month). The top overall scorer(s) at the end of this period will be the winner(s).

Sorcery (M)
You may choose a legendary card you own from outside the game, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Exile Wish Upon a Star.

IIW: defender and haste on the same card
starjake wrote:Looming Wish
Sorcery (M)
You may choose a card you own from outside the game. If it isn't already exiled, exile it, and if it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. Put 2 time counters on it. As long as it remains exiled, it has ": Put a time counter on this card. Only an opponent may activate this ability." (At the beginning of its owner's upkeep, remove a time counter from that card. When the last is removed, its owner casts it without paying its mana cost. If it's a creature, it has haste.)

IIW: Bonds (the dual-guild "Bond of _____" cards from War of the Spark)

, : You may choose a Fish card you own from outside the game, reveal that card, and put it onto the battlefield. It gains haste.

Choose one -
• Search your library for a planeswalker card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
• You may choose an Ajani planeswalker card you own from outside the game, reveal that card, and put it into your hand.

You may choose a card you own from outside the game and put it into your hand. At the beginning of the next end step, you lose the game. Exile Last Wish.

IIW : 1/1 creatures
slimytrout wrote:Infernal Wish
Sorcery (R)
Kicker - Discard your hand. (You may discard your hand in addition to any other costs as you cast this spell.)
Reveal a card from your hand, then you may choose a card you own from outside the game with the same name as that card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If Infernal Wish was kicked, instead you may choose a card you own from outside the game and put it into your hand.

IIW: "You win the game"/"Target player loses the game"
Krishnath wrote:Sarkhan's Call
Sorcery (M)
You may choose a Dragon creature card you own from outside of the game and put it onto the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at end of turn.

Instant (M)
The next time you would lose the game this turn, instead you may choose a card you own from outside the game, reveal that card, and put it on top of your library. Shuffle all cards you own from all zones into your library then reveal the top card of your library. If you reveal a card with the same name as the first card this way, you win the game.

Votes: Raptorchan, folding_music,

Can't go wrong with something big and nasty. Just kidding, here's something small that will win you games instead. Particularly if your opponent doesn't have/draw enchantment removal.

Capashen Academy
2W
Legendary Enchantment (Mythic)
Creatures you control have banding.
At the beginning of each upkeep, create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token.

(And yes, it does technically create Benalish Hero tokens.)

Pascite draconem, evolvite aut morimini.
