Today's Challenge: A card based on a character from a (non-MtG-related) book

.::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.

Creatures you control gain haste until end of turn.

This one was really difficult to evaluate. I might have spent more time thinking about this than on my card.

Honorable mention: void_nothing - I liked this card the most, but I don't get why it has haste.


Rincewind, from the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett

The lore behind this character:
Rincewind is the absolutely most incabable wizard of the discworld. Although he went to the magical academy, he can't cast a single spell. This is because an ancient super powerful spell got stuck in his mind and keeps all other magic away.
He is something like favored, i.e. the punching-bag of the gods, so he always gets thrown into adventurous dangerous situations, although he just wants to live a quiet and boring life. On these adventures he basically spends most of the time running away from things and manages to survive the dangers, in spite of the odds.

IIW: A card designed around the number 7.

Votes: shullz, netn10 (Is that indefinite?)

From Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle novels

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.)

Captain Yossarian 1WR
Creature - Human Solider Pilot Coward
Captain Yossarian must crew a Vehicle or attack each turn if able.
Captain Yossarian crews Vehicles as though his power were 3 greater.
When Captain Yossarian crews a Vehicle it gains haste, flying and +X/+X until end of turn where X is Captain Yossarian's power. Whenever a Vehicle Captain Yossarian crews attacks and dies during combat, sacrifice Captain Yossarian.
"The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he is on." — Captain John Yossarian
1/1

Based on Captain John Yossarian from Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

IIW: A nonlegendary card based on the Marvel comics universe.

Hate that I can't think of a card, but I don't read enough books to think up a card, and I dont really want to put that much time into researching for a character. Interesting challenge concept, just not for me.
