Somehow, my emojis are still in the top 50% most serious judgements.

Absurd Judgement RWU
Enchantment - Saga (R)

8/8

So is this finally the card of Squee as the Raven Man, or

[TheRavenManIsSquee]

Yes, yes it is

[void_nothing]

Alright, you nut, take your like

[Mergatroid_Jones]

Took it literally.

[Juancu]

I'll judge tonight (3-4 hours) or tomorrow morning.

Explosive Awakening 2R
Instant (U)
Explosive Awakening costs 2 less to cast if it targets tapped creature.
Explosive Awakening deals 4 damage to any target.

IIW: Toughness 9+ Kamigawa Besieged (by Oni, not by Phyrexia )

Good flavor and appropiate costs, but doesn't blow me away.

Brainscorch 3UR
Instant (M)
Each player discards their hand, then draws seven cards. Brainscorch deals damage to each player equal to the number of cards that player has drawn this turn.
Rebound (If you cast this spell from your hand, exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast this card from exile without paying its mana cost.)

IIW: Non-Eldrazi, nonland colorless cards.

Ouch. 15 damage to your opponent for 5 mana may be a bit too dumb, even if you get it too.

Seeping Rot 1BB
Sorcery (U)
If a spell or ability an opponent controls would cause you to discard a card in your hand, you may instead discard Seeping Rot and that player discards a card.
Target opponent discards two cards.

IIW: Uncommon black miracles

Mmm, I don't like the flavor of punishing discard with more discard on black. Black is a cool color that has always hated these type of effects, so it feels kinda weird.

Nexus of Flamingos 5UU
Instant (M)
Create a 1/1 blue Bird creature token with flying.
Storm
If Nexus of Flamingos would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Nexus of Flamingos and shuffle it into its owner's library instead.

iiw: unlikely occurences

Yes, this is kinda what I was thinking about. A card that gets dumber and dumber (of course, other interpretations are cool.) Still, it doesn't do it by it itself, it needs an engine behind it.

Invitation to Madness

3BR

Enchantment

Each opponent's maximum hand size is equal to the number of cards in your hand.

Hellbent — As long as you have no cards in hand, whenever an opponent discards a card, Invitation to Madness deals 2 damage to that player.

IIW: Cipher

Super cool! Let's get dumber together.

Two-Headed Ogre 4rr
Creature - Ogre Warrior (U)
Trample
Two-Headed Ogre can't block.
Whenever Two-Headed Ogre becomes blocked by 2 or more creatures, prevent all damage it would deal to creatures this turn.
8/8

IIW: beginner's magic spell

Reading it wrong: Cool card in general, but I would hate to open this among my uncommons if I'm playing red. It would be kinda playable if it could block, but otherwise, asking 6 mana for a card that does nothing on a regular board... Now, if it said "If Two Headed Ogre is being blocked by two or more creatures, it deals no combat damage.".... that would be a fun minigame. Hey, I may have instant damage! Better block it more!

Reading it right: Oh, it has Trample, and deals damage to players. Then it's much better in power level, but still, it's hardly a siege breaker, and a 0/8 that can't block a lot of the time.

Seems like a fun effect, but I think it would be pretty dumb on a creatureless deck. But that's the challenge I guess, so it gets a star.

Scourge of Worlds 2RRRGGG
Creature — Elemental Beast (M)
Trample
When ~ enters the battlefield, if you cast it from your hand, gain control of all lands until end of turn. Untap them. They gain haste until end of turn.
Lands you control are 2/2 creatures that are still lands.
8/8

IIW: a sad story

Mmm, for 8 mana it should kinda win the game, but if it enters, there's hardly a "kinda" about it. Maybe don't untap your own lands, and cost a bit less?

Squee, the Ineffable RRB
Legendary artifact creature- Goblin (M)
When Squee enters the battlefield, each player shuffles the graveyard of the player to their left into their library.
Squee will hear the judge's complaints about color breaks. Squee will not care.

IIW: Eldrazi

I could review an Un-card, but I don't think that's doable even in an Un-set... but maybe I'm forgetting something? Well, at least I think it shouldn't exist regardless, even Un-sets should avoid card ownership mishaps on a casual level, or cause headaches when two casual players play unsleeved decks in a kitchen table.

Took it literally.

Foolishness W
Enchantment- Aura (C)

Enchant creature
Enchanted creature can't attack or block, and its activated abilities can't be activated.

IIW: Common/ uncommon enchantment support

Cool, cool. It gets my gears turning, I wish it could present a tradeoff: attack, block, or abilities. I'll try something later.

IIW: Revise an existing keyword that could be a lot better. Make an example card.

[Sojourner Dusk]

Fifteen entries in roughly 36 hours . That's healthy.

Maybe Cardz is trying to see if they can surpass the 23 entries Meg had to judge for the initial challenge? Might be tough given that five people posted multiple entries (myself and Cardz included).
