Alright, enough waiting. I'll judge tonight, but I'd still like that judgement from @Ulka at some point.

Sorry i have not had free time this past week. I will try to post them today.

I'll be honest, the only thing I have going here is that he lives in the trash. no other flavor considerations.

Where is his normal p/t? Should probably work like Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger, with at least some kind of etb, especially if you're paying 5 mana on the front face for a card that dies immediately.

"The only reason I've worked with you this long, is because I have no dignity!" -Gonzo deals 4 damage to any target chosen at random.
"I have no dignity, as a result of working with you for so long!" -Each player mills seven cards.
"The second question is unrelated, I've forgotten how long I've worked with you!" -Each player discards a card at random.
"All of the above!" -Do all of the above. Choose this only if you have exactly 13 life.

Speaking of the Elmo tweet below, you saw the Tumblr post about breaking down this line

Elmo, the Banisher 2BR
Legendary Creature — Muppet Rogue (R)
Shadow (This creature can block or be blocked by only creatures with shadow.)
Elmo's World — Whenever Elmo enters the battlefield or attacks, put a shadow counter on up to one target creature controlled by the player with the fewest creatures with shadow or tied for the fewest.
If a creature with shadow would deal damage to a player, prevent that damage and its controller creates a Treasure token.

I've had limited gas for card design recently so I haven't been able to keep up with the pace here, myself.

IIW: Design a card you think I would like

I had to check and see if this would fit on a card. It doesn't really (it's 11 lines without the Undying reminder text. Having two equip abilities adds one line each, of course). I think you have a lot of flavorful stuff here, but I'd try and find some strategic trims where possible. I'm not sure what's best to trim because I'm not familiar with the flavor, but I'd see if I could focus one really accentuating one "story" that you could tell with the card and lean harder into that.

IIW: March of the machine style teamup cards

I did also try this one mocked up... You might have to cut the flavor text! Anyway, none of these effects are so strong that I'm worried about the combat restriction. If that's for flavor ("stage magician" is a clue here I think), that's ok, but I think it's fine without that restriction honestly. I like the effects and the ability words (flavor words?) do convey the story here well.

Nice and simple. I think the costs should be increased somewhere between the mana and the kicker, but that's about it. Not too much to say.

Correctly made this black, as all good coffee should be taken (I'll make exception for frothed milk drinks, but those should be a second-level option anyway). I like the flavor of preparing a cup to be used later (adding ice cubes with the snow mana?). I had a whole thing in my head about cold brew, but this isn't that. I think this card is fairly powerful, too as both a lifegain engine and, over time, a slow tutor.

Winner: Chetoos for a little bit of stage magic.

Probably cut out the restrictions and zombie stuff on the reanimate, honestly, and maybe the zombie (and tap/stun counter) on equip, that would probably cut it down to a manageable length.

Also, if anyone wants more than one prompt, you can pick from either of my prompts. So: A card you think I would like, or a teamup card

[Megiddo]

i've been conceptulating an "ajani and comet" though I may at some point remember that these cards are meant to be unlikely alliances of creatures from the same plane and start over.

[chetoos]

any teamup card works here.

I would have loved for this to be a planeswalker teamup card, but I think they both got desparked in aftermath, so checks out. I like that Sarkhan's contribution to the spell is to interrupt Narset's autism with his own dragon hyperfixation

They certainly like enchantments (Or do they), but I'm not sure what else is going on here. I guess this is the inherent problem with going for creatures that have low resonance, the lower chance for someone to know who they are.

Winner: @Sporegorger_Dragon for the cleaner package (Even though I'm sure that Sarkhan could probably count his baths per year on one hand)
