  • 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.

I love this challenge so much. Hoping for some cool mascots :)

@netn10 This card started from the mascot. I saw your comment and I thought "what would be a cool mascot?" The homunculus came to mind. All the rest has been built around it. I hope you like this.

Stronir Parade 2UB
Sorcery (U)
Create a 1/1 blue and black Homunculus creature token for each instant and sorcery card in your graveyard.
Learn (You may reveal a Lesson card you own from outside the game and put it into your hand, or discard a card to draw a card.)

@netn10 Food, the mascot of the School of Culinary Arts? Couldn't be...

Gorodon Gnashex 4RG
Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon (M)
Flying, trample
Devour 1 (As this enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice any number of creatures and/or Foods. This creature enters the battlefield with that many +1/+1 counters.)
When Gorodon Gnashex enters the battlefield, create a Food token for each permanent it devoured.
Activated abilities of Foods you control cost 2 less to activate.
Master and founder of the Gnashex College of Culinary Arts, Gorodon secretly just loves to eat.
4/4

Please note a slight modification to Devour to allow it to interact with Food, which I have highlighted in the reminder text.
