Today's Challenge: Recover

.::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.

@netn10: Love the concept, but I don't know if your card would work like this. I think phased-out cards are treated as them not existing, so static effects probably wouldn't work. But phrasing it as a triggered effect on phasing out, that applies until your next upkeep, may work.



IIW: White Devil, green Angel, red Zombie or blue Vampire

Enriching Bounty XW
Instant (Uncommon)
Target opponent gains 10 life and you draw X cards.
"The Orzhov might live a thousand lives and still not know how to be rich, for they do not have the heart to feel, the community to trust, and the understanding to be empty and content."
- Evr, Selesnya Harmonist

IIW: X in the cost with an additional effect that doesn't scale with the X.

When doubt does stride with iron-laden foot
and chooses take my pride in my own self,
in ragged chains drag I to hell from wealth
and broken, wear’ly slog through ashen soot.
Doubt’s trumpet sounds, that full religious toot
which howls in pompous, mocking, vibrant health
as I run far away, in fear 'f myself,
and chase away the day I end kaput.
But even in the hand of vill’nous doubt,
I know I’ll rise above in victory.
And even when I’m hit with doubter’s clout,
I have no doubt I’ll see that sun-kissed sea.
For even when some faith in me I lack,
I know — in time — I can my doubt attack.
