Today's Challenge: Cards based on characters mentioned in flavor text that don't already have a dedicated card

.::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.

Spend Time Together W
Sorcery (Mythic)
Your deck may have only one copy of Spend Time Together.
Take an extra turn after this one and the next opponent draws seven cards.
Exile Spend Time Together.
"In the heart of the tavern, Huatli's world narrows, the Multiverse converging as Saheeli's eyes, ablaze with fascination, meet her gaze over four drinks. Huatli confesses, and a warm smile from Saheeli, fingers lightly touching, seals their secret bond. The tavern's patrons unknowingly witness a miracle, a love they can only envy."
- Note for a Stranger

IIW: If haste was white/if vigilance was black

IIW: New variations of Colossal Dreadmaw.

Edit: Damn, too slow with the illustration. Someone else had a similar idea. :sweat:


Bonus Card:

Visions of Another Life {W}
Enchantment (Rare)

Whenever you gain 3 or more life, put a dream counter on Visions of Another Life.

At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have 10 or more dream counters on Visions of Another Life, sacrifice it and you take an extra turn after this one.

IIW: (same as yesterday, but I love this idea so much) A card of yourself, with a cartoony illustration of yourself if it has art.
I love Tchotchke Elemental. And as always: wear your seatbelt, tear up your friend's mill deck, and buh-bye. (Please don't actually tear up your friend's mill deck, no matter how annoying it is.)

Based on this card. (Recently bought another copy. I love the art. No rule against a real person I'm guessing.)

Bucky, Flavor Text Writer 1WU
Legendary Creature - Human Advisor
Whenever another permanent you own is put into exile you may choose one that hasn't been chosen.
  • Change the target of a spell that has a single target.
  • Target nonland permanent becomes an enchantment in addition to its other types until end of turn.
  • Target creature gets -X/-0 until end of turn where X is equal to the number of cards you own in exile.
  • Exile Bucky, Flavor Text Writer and return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of your next upkeep.

CunningGabe - This card is the least I've expected to see here. Refreshing! But it should probably exile itself when it grants extra turn to avoid shenanigans.

shullz - Yea, the flavor match perfectly with the mechanics lol. Great minds think alike and all!

FrostBoss216 - I like it, I might start just posting images, it's also much easier to convey flavor this way.

All in all, some really solid design, y'all made me wish Mono white really had extra turns and also I would love to see challenges like this of "what if X was in Y's color pie".
Chianul, Who Whispers Twice GGUR
Legendary Creature - Human Shaman (Mythic)
Vigilance, haste
Whenever you cast a creature spell with power 4 or greater, untap Chianul.
T: Exile the top card of library until you exile a creature card with power 4 or greater. Put a land card exiled this way onto the battlefield, then you may cast the exiled creature.
2/4

IIW: Uneven mana cost
