Today's Challenge:
Random effects

.::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.

The effect is only feasible in digital games (and that's something I'd like to see occasionally on MTG Arena, much like the old Astral cards from Microprose videogame).
The non-<an-artificial-creature-type> clause prevents having to know the number of different creature types in Magic to deal with those pesky changelings and Mistform Ultimus (they still get the bonus), and ties to "natural" flavor + blue hate.
Nature Favors RG
Enchantment
At the beginning of each upkeep, choose a creature type at random from among those of non-Illusion creatures on the battlefield and non-Illusion creature cards in all libraries. (For example, if you control two Saprolings, your deck contains only ten Elf Warriors and your opponents' only forty Rats, each of the four types has a 25% chance.)
Creatures of the last chosen type have menace, reach, and vigilance.
Each creature you control of the last chosen type gets +1/+1. If it has no other creature types, it gets and additional +1/+1 and has trample.

IIW: Marvel infinity stones
