I'd hoped for more unwiue things than just variations on the existing Treasure token mechanic, but there we go.

[void_nothing]

I think it's about time to judge.

[wonderful]

Was hoping for a few more entries, but this will have to do.

Transguild Ragamuffin - I like this. I think sacrificing ANY permanent might be too good, maybe only land? Or at least nontoken. But good concept and decently fair I think.

Shrieksticks - This is absolutely brutal against tribal decks. I think this is more in the unfun territory rather than just disruptive.

Decoy Brigade - Neat approach to what ends up as kind of a Flagbearer mechanic. I'm not sure I'd make it an archer, pulling the ol Drogskul Captain give each other hexproof if there's two.

Geralf's Doorman - I like the name. Simple, effective. Decent card.

Leering Farmhand - protection from birds! Cute.


winner: spacemonaut, cause protection from birds made me smile.

Next: Guild-colored artifacts from Ravnica. (Must have two colors in its casting cost.)

*bangs on pots and pans* Make some colored artifacts, people! I'm judging in a few hours, or if I forget to do so before I go to bed, in just over twelve hours when I wake up. Everyone who submits a colored artifact will be judged. Everyone who does not submit a colored artifact will also be judged, just differently, less Miss Honey and more Agatha Trunchbull.
