Clarification question: If we're using Egg in the name, can it be part of a hyphenated word? I.e., "Golden-egg" or "Egg-guardian"?

Yes, I'll say you can do that. Adding this to the clarifications.

April Round 3 is up.

"Subchallenge 1 - Your card has a keyword ability, keyword action, or ability word."

convoke counts for this, right?

Yes, convoke counts. It's a keyword ability. You can find the whole list in that Wiki page, the same for keyword actions and ability words.

With the month coming to a close, I'd like to humbly ask if anyone is interested in hosting the MCC in May.

By the way, I'm planning on catching up on my own MCC judging (March finals and April round 3) tomorrow. I'm sorry to everyone involved in both months for the delay but I've been working long hours and I have other responsibilities around the site as well. I look forward to capping off an awesome MCC courtesy of @Venedrex and seeing how @bravelion83 caps off this month as well!

Subchallenges 1/2 - MV 3, but no keywords.

Destroy is a keyword action. It's listed in the keyword actions link (701.7).

Thanks for the correction. What was in my mind was actually "non-evergreen" keyword, but that's not what I wrote in the challenge. My bad. Giving you the point back right now.

Quality 2.5/3 - I'm sorry but I have to deduct points for extra text, despite totally agreeing with that extra text as a fellow Italian (-0.5). I am proud too of our country, but our shared pride doesn't erase the rules of the contest, that I know well because I have written the guidelines myself.

I agree on the deduction fully, I just wanted to squeeze an Italian flag on the card. If it had been a Naya card it would've been RGW, but I added the R kicker so that on the card Green, White and Red are in the right order :D

I had thought about why you added the kicker part that I remember not being there in the beginning and I did not realize it was to make our flag right. Now I see it! Good job!

@void_nothing do you need me to quickly make a Strixhaven plan for May? It's not ideal for the same person to host two consecutive months, but we have both done it before. Obviously if anybody else wants to do it it's fine. Just let me know if I am needed.
Edit: I have just written a plan. Let me know if you want me to deploy it.

No worries - I can take this month.

The final round for April is up.

Congratulations to our winners for April (yes, plural, it's a tie): slimytrout and StonerOfKruphix!

Did I miss something or has void not judged round 1 yet?

Pure Journey 2G
Instant (Uncommon)
Exile target artifact or enchantment. If you cast Pure Journey from your graveyard, you may return that permanent at the end of turn.
Flashback WU

@netn10 Out of courtesy I should tell you... flashback is not an activated ability like the challenge asks

Right, if you're in May's round 2, please make sure your design has an activated ability that can be activated from the graveyard. Just having an alternate cost would not pass the main challenge.

Going to put out feelers a little bit early for June's host. If you're interested, just let me know.

I will need a one day extension on May.

No issue, that's just fine at this stage.

There's still plenty of room left in June's round 1 for players!

The deadline for the first round of June has been extended by a day! You have nothing to lose by participating!

For May Finals, does the effect have to be a continous one? Or perhaps something like mass gy exile on ETB is sufficient?

No it does not have to be a static ability or an effect that is any way continuous.

My May final and June round 1 judgments will be up tomorrow!

I'm afraid I just got a Lyme diagnosis and the symptoms have been kicking my butt, so my May final judgements will be a bit delayed -- will get them done once the antibiotics start to kick in.
