Welcome to New Challenge Every Day!

Today's Challenge:
A Card That Costs

.::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 fewer 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 month. The top overall scorer(s) at the end of the month will be the winner(s).

You are right, I realized later as I was going to bed that I probably overreacted and that there are ways around the issue (like off color kicker), it's just that spells that encourage blatant color pie violations make me twitch. Lol.

We should probably set up a discussion thread for this daily challenge thing so we don't end up filling the thread with things like yesterday's issue.

I am assuming the challenge is to make a card for a potential last set, instead of making an entire last set, which feels way out of scope for this challenge. So one card it is.

Tali's Sacrifice W
Legendary Instant (Rare)
(You may cast a legendary instant only if you control a legendary creature or planeswalker.)
Play Tali's Sacrifice only during an opponents turn, during the combat step, before blockers are declared.
Target nontoken creature you control becomes indestructible and may block any number of creatures. At the beginning of the next end step, sacrifice that creature.


IIW: Rare creature types (less than 10 creatures with the type, check gatherer if you aren't sure, Changelings don't count).

Bit of an abstract one, but not too challenging I guess?

Oath of Koth 2RR
Legendary Enchantment (Rare)
When Oath of Koth enters the battlefield, search your library for a Mountain card and put it onto the battlefield tapped. Then shuffle your library.
The first spell you cast each turn costs 1 less to cast for each Planeswalker you control.
"For the fallen, and a chance to avenge them, I will keep watch."

Bearer of Salvation 2WW

Vigilance
As long as it is your turn and you have less than half your starting life total, creatures you control have protection from your opponents.
Legacy 3WWW (3WWW, Exile this from your graveyard: Target creature you control gains this card's abilities. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.)

I think of a third set in a block, where a new mechanic has been added, and the mechanics from earlier in the block are being stretched to potentially wacky places.

Prismatic - This spell costs 2 more to cast for each color among permanents you control.
Prismatic - Protection from the colors of other permanents you control.

Kworesam, Sapphire of Eloquence 4UU
Legendary Artifact Creature - Golem (M)
Kworesam can't be blocked except by Golems and Walls.
Whenever you activate an ability of an artifact you control, you may return that permanent to its owner's hand. If you do, draw a card.
Whenever Kworesam deals combat damage to a player, you may put an artifact card from your hand onto the battlefield.
Tezzeret opened the last Golem Well and Kworesam arose to divulge his ancient knowledge.

Although officially no color is supposed to be able to remove poison counters, if any color should be able to do so, white would be the primary one. I'd personally put green as Secondary.

Apocalypse Seed C
Legendary Creature - Eldrazi (Mythic)
Indestructible
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a growth counter on Apocalypse Seed.
XCC, T, Remove X growth counters from Apocalypse Seed: Search your library for a legendary colorless creature card with converted mana cost X or less and put it onto the battlefield.
From humble beginnings, the end arrives.
0/1

Most of the creatures the Apocalypse Seed can fetch are legendary artifact creatures, but there are currently six legendary eldrazi it can play with. The Apocalypse Seed is most effective if you have access to proliferate mechanics.

IIW: Rare creature types (less than 10 creatures with the type, check gatherer if you aren't sure, Changelings don't count).
