[starjake]

Welcome to New Challenge Every Day!

Today's Challenge:
1/1 Creatures

.::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).

White, together with Black, is Tetriary in Trample. There is currently one card legal in standard with Trample in white, and one card that creates a token with it. Both cards will remain in standard until Eldraine becomes legal.

[slimytrout]

I stand corrected (I don't really count Baffling End, since it gives it to your opponent, but Zetalpa is a fine precedent), and have changed my vote. Thank you!

No problem, it sometimes helps to check gatherer for standard (and modern) to see where the colorpie falls, but only for mechanics that are still relevant in their formats. Gets a little harder with older mechanics.

[slimytrout]

Yeah, normally I would've just checked Maro's mechanical color pie, (which it turns out says "Any color is allowed access to trample if the creature is large enough and of a higher rarity") but I couldn't think of any white tramplers so I got lazy. And apparently I also got lazy and never finished reading Zetalpa's list of abilities
