Today's Challenge:
Cards that are good in Limited, but bad in Constructed

.::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. In case of a further tie, the IIW of the earlier poster will be used.

Wizards of the Cost 3wub

3/6

IIW: a new keyword with rules that include a creature type (as in soulshift, amass, embalm, living weapon or Un-mechanics squirrellink, knightlifelink, ...)

"Levitation isn't that hard to do if you use the right instruments. Let me take my wand and show you."
2/2

Vasher, Strifelover 2WUB
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard Artificer Warrior (MR)
First strike, deathtouch
When Vasher enters the battlefield, destroy target creature.
Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Vasher.
Remove X +1/+1 counters from Vasher: X can't be zero. Target noncreature artifact you control becomes a 0/1 artifact creature until end of turn. Put X +1/+1 counters on it. At the beginning of the next end step, move all +1/+1 counters on it onto Vasher.
2/2

Ghitu Mind-Master 1RR
Creature - Human Nomad Wizard (R)
Protection from flying (This creature can't be damaged, blocked, or targeted by anything with flying.)
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, put a chant counter on Ghitu Mind-Master.
T: Add R for each chant counter on Ghitu Mind-Master.
Some Ghitu smiths seek the advice of hermit meditation masters, who carry everywhere their magically-formed homes of fire and dust.
2/2

IIW: Simic guild mechanics
