7/7

IIW: Design like it's Portal, Portal II, or portal 3K.

[Togs]

Sincere apologies to everyone for the late judging. I just want to say that I've technically been trying to make this challenge happen for years, but I always would forget about it in the entries where I actually would win. Now that it's become fully realized.. it really does bring a tear to my eye. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for embarking on this Benedict Odyssey. Anyways, let's get into it.

Build-a-bear Candygram 2G
Sorcery (U)
Create a Food token a 2/2 green Bear creature token with your choice of a trample counter, a reach counter, a vigilance counter, or a hexproof counter on it.

It looks like this card name managed to translate fairly well into game mechanics, it's a fine uncommon I guess.

Verdict: Vanilla Custardsworth

Bumberstump Cragglethatch GW
Legendary Creature - Kithkin Peasant (R)
Vigilance
When Bumberstump Cragglethatch enters the battlefield create a food token.
Whenever an effect of another card causes you to create one or more food tokens, create an additional food token.
Whenever you sacrifice a food token, put a +1/+1 counter on target Kithkin you control.
Partner
0/1

When I think of things are that incredibly British, I think of food, Kithkin, and Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch. So, I do kind of like this.

Verdict: Britishisles Summerset

Snorkledink Cuttlefish -- 1UUU
Creature - Fish Cuttlefish or maybe even Squid
As an additional cost to play Snorkledink Cuttlefish, reveal a blue card in your hand.
Cards with the same name as the card revealed to play Snorkledink Cuttlefish cost U less to play and can't be countered.
2/3

This seems like something control would use against control. The effect is fine and I appreciate the bold costing, I just wish it had a more cuttlefish-y effect considering how cool cuttlefish really are (camouflage! shape shifting! and hypnosis!)

Verdict: Bottleneck Cephalopod

Bulbasaur Custardwheel 1G
Legendary Creature- Plant Dinosaur
Fancy (Non-fancy spells or abilities that target fancy spells or permanents cost an additional 2.)
T: Add G. If that mana is spent to play a fancy creature, that creature enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter.
The illustrious Custardwheel family keeps a personal gardener for each of their Pokémon.
1/3

Wait, I really like this fancy mechanic lol. Like, really like it.

Verdict: Wilmington Rosewater

Buckingham Cummerbund 1W
Artifact — Equipment (U)
Equipped creature gets +1/+0 and can't be blocked except by Nobles.
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, that player creates a Treasure token.
Equip {2/W}
"A trinket for your hospitality, milady."
—Lord Buckingham the Rakish

Ayy I appreciate that you credited Cumberbatch himself in the flavor text. I'm loving the drawback and I think it fits great in white.

Verdict: Barbituate Carbonate

Bourgeoisie Carrotpatch
Land (R)
Bourgeoisie Carrotpatch enters the battlefield tapped.
: Add or .
2, T: Create a Food token.
1BG, T, Sacrifice Bourgeoisie Carrotpatch and any number of Foods: Create a 1/1 green Rabbit creature token for each Food token sacrificed this way. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.

Cute! Great IIW too. I tend to not be a fan of sacrificing food for alternate effects, but this one get to be an exception because the rabbits are eating the food.

Verdict: Bunnyhop Carlton

Bourgeoisie Capitalist WB
Creature - Human Advisor (R)
Bourgeoisie Capitalist's toughness is equal to the amount of Gold you control.
Whenever Bourgeoisie Capitalist enters the battlefield or becomes tapped, create a Gold token.
2/*

This is quite the elegant little lad, I like how this expresses that:
- You need money to make money
- Having money makes it even easier to make more money
though simple mechanics alone.

Verdict: Buttery Chefskiss

Bourgeoisie Crucifix 3
Artifact (R)
Whenever an ability of a creature triggers or is activated, destroy that creature at the beginning of the end step. If that creature dies this way, create a treasure token.
The mob spoke. Thelisia, on the other side, would soon not.

I appreciate that you managed to procure some serious flavortext for an otherwise silly challenge, and the card looks pretty legit too.

Verdict: Vatican Linguini

Muffintop Coochierash
Legendary Creature - Ooze Human (R)
When Muffintop Coochierash enters the battlefield, stack five coins on it.
Players that don't control Muffintop Coochierash can't touch it or the stack.
When a coin falls off the stack, or the coins falls off Muffintop Coochierash, remove them.
Muffintop Coochierash's power and toughness are equal to the number of coins in the stack.
: Any player may activate this ability and contribute up to five coins. You add those coins to the stack.
Its pants are always too tight.

I appreciate the thought behind this card.

Verdict: Waterloo Wellington

Syphilis Wafflesmack
3bb
Legendary Creature - Germ Horror
When Syphilis Wafflesmack enters the battlefield, you become diseased.
Whenever Syphilis deals combat damage to a player or permanent, that player or permanent becomes diseased.
Whenever a diseased permanent attacks, blocks, or has one of its abilities activated, it deals 1 damage to itself and 2 damage to its controller.
Whenever a diseased player casts a spell or draws a card, they lose 1 life.
4/4
"It...it fell off..."-Garruk Wildspeaker
"You too?"-Jace Beleren

Ok, you have diseased as concept, but it seems textbook overly complex to me, since you can trigger it 5 different ways across 2 types of objects to trigger any of 3 different effects. I quite appreciate the flavor text though.

Verdict: Beleren Chandra

Bunsenburner Cockatoo 2RW
Creature — Bird Berserker (R)
Flying, haste
Whenever Bunsenburner Cockatoo attacks, you may sacrifice a land. If you do, it gets +2/+0 until end of turn. Destroy up to one target nonbasic land defending player controls.
2/2

Nice cock you got there, I like how the nonbasic land hate is worked in. I had to sit down and think for 5 minutes whether or not this is broken or underpowered and I still don't have an answer, but it's probably one or the other.

Verdict: Mtgarena Cockatrice

Stonybrook Banneret 1u
Creature — Merfolk Wizard (C)
Islandwalk (This creature can't be blocked as long as defending player controls an Island.)
Merfolk spells and Wizard spells you cast cost 1 less to cast.
1/1

Lmao, that's hilarious if you actually got that from the site

Verdict: Stonybrook Banneret

Benadryl Claritin 4
Artifact
W: Exile target creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under your control tapped.
UU: Target creature you control phases out.
"Bit of an overkill, sure, but are your allergies still bothering you? Didn't think so."

Just the white part of this actually seems kind of strong, basically an advantage engine with any etb effect and you even get semi-hexproof to boot, maybe I'm out of touch though since there's probably more nuts flickering stuff you can already do anyways.

Verdict: Bombadil EDHrec

Gin Addict Geocache
Land (U)
Gin Addict Geocache enters the battlefield with 3 booze counters
t: Add
T, Remove a booze counter from Gin Addict Geocache: Add one mana of any color. If used to cast a creature spell, that creature enters the battlefield tapped, with a Trample counter on it.

I do very much appreciate the flavor, but wait, isn't this kind of like a vivid land that doesn't etb tapped ? If you make it actually etb tapped then you're golden though.

Verdict: Budweiser Corona

Baggageclaim Chickenbroth 3
Artifact - Food {U}
2, T, Sacrifice Baggageclaim Chickenbroth: Baggageclaim Chickenbroth deals 3 damage to any target.
2, T, Sacrifice Baggageclaim Chickebroth: You gain 3 life.
Foretell R

Rally clever use of foretell tbh, and the symmetry of the numbers between both effects is great. This is easily my favorite food entry here (of which there were surprisingly a lot)

Verdict: International Tallywag

Bubblebath Nottinghill
Land (U)
Bubblebath Nottinghill enters the battlefield tapped.
When Bubblebath Nottinghill enters the battlefield, put a flying counter on target creature you control.
: Add or .

Now this is a bubblebath I can get behind.

Verdict: Bubblebeam Gyarados

Blubberwhale Camouflage 3U
Enchantment — Aura (U)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature has base power and toughness 6/6 and is a Whale in addition to its other types.
When enchanted creature becomes the target of a spell or ability, sacrifice Blubberwhale Camouflage.

I like this as a kind of totem armor variant, it has more of a drawback but can be more pushed. What kind of whale is it though 👀

Verdict: Cetacean Crusader

Rinkydink Stinkyrash BR
Legendary Creature - Goblin Rogue (R)
Menace, deathtouch
Whenever Rinkydink Stinkyrash deals combat damage to a player, for the rest of the game, if an effect would cause that player to discard one or more cards, that player discards that many cards at random instead.
"Does this look infected to you?"
1/1

This is pretty great tbh, the "rest of the game" wording makes it spicy while not actually broken and it evokes the idea of stinkyrash very well.

Verdict: Doodlebob Patrickstar

Broccoli Pumpkinpatch
Land (U)
Broccoli Pumpkinpatch enters the battlefield tapped unless you reveal a Peasant creature from your hand.
T: Add Add W or G.
3T, Tap an untapped creature you conrol: Create a food token.

For a repeatable advantage effect on a land, this actually doesn't seem broken to me, and I appreciate that.

Verdict: Brusselsprout Cauliflower

Barbiturate Covergirl WU
Creature — Human Noble (R)
First strike
Whenever Barbiturate Covergirl deals damage to a creature, tap that creature and remove it from combat. It doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.
2/1

Interesting interplay with first strike, I like it.

Verdict: Cottonmouth Rattlesnake

Brewery Charmander
Creature - Charmander Pokemon (R)
Charmander offering
Trample
: Brewery Charmander gets +2/+0 until end of turn. Flip a coin. If you lose the flip, exert Brewery Charmander.

Holy %$#%

T: Add one mana of any color. Each opponent investigates.

Wait.. what exactly is being implied here

Verdict: Anime Manatee

Pallettown Cockatoo1W

2/1

Ayy

Verdict: Gastrodon Drifloon

Bandicoot Colonist RGU
Creature- Orc Pirate Peasant
When Bandicoot Colonist enters the battlefield, gain control of target nonbasic land.
3/2

Bettyboop Talisman 3
Artifact
T: Add one mana of any color. Boo boo bee doop.

First one is actually really cool, simple effect that fits into triple color kinda.

Verdict: Blunderbuss Christopher

Fiddlestick Toodlesnoot 2W
Legendary Artifact Creature — Scarecrow
: Add . Use this mana only to cast artifact spells and activate abilities of artifacts.
, : Create a token that's a copy of target nonlegendary artifact with converted mana cost X.
2/2

I almost wish that this *could* actually clone itself, after all I'm sure everyone would love to have multiple Fiddlesick Toodlesnoots if they could. But yeah this card looks fun and probably not broken either.

Verdict: Dorothy Carlton

Beelzebub Curdledong 6B
Legendary Creature- Demon Advisor
Flying, Soulbond
The creature paired with Beelzebub gets +3/+3, and has lifelink and indestructible. When that creature dies while paired with Beelzebub, you lose 2 life and draw 2 cards.
7/7

Interesting use of soulbond, maybe I'd prefer it slightly if you accomplished this effect without using the mechanic, but I appreciate the advising flavor.

Verdict: Artisan Bibliotheque
