The enchantment was meant to mirror disinformation campaign and dovin's acuity. oh well. The reason to not make it an instant or sorcery is for memory purposes.

[mellifluoresce]

Will probably just close this challenge up in a few hours whether it gets more entries or not. Doesn't seem too popular, and is admittedly pretty bad.

[mellifluoresce]

the eternal question

which came first

the bad challenge
or
the bad entry

[wonderful]

Cythare - Phrexian Obviator:
Holy crap this thing is insane. I can hit it myself, AND it's a may, so I don't draw out on accident.

Meg - devoted dryad
I literally laughed at this. Thanks.

NinjaCaterpie - Concentrated Inferno
This is something at least. The wording on the last part should probably make sure to verify that "its" means the Inferno, and not what you sac'd, since you can sac any permanent not just creatures, but I could see people thinking "oh I sac'd this creature, so Inferno gets the thing I sac'd's power."

Meg - Knifht of White Mana
Strong. I would give this the win, but you forgot to put an IIW. Sad.

Melli - Blazing Juggernaut
I dig the Juggernaut callback here. The Flame Counter concept is kinda weird, but I think I can dig it. The inevitability that even one hit brings is very nice.

spacemonaut - Avatar of Disappointment
lol

spacemonaut - Guardian of the Meek
The synergy between abilities is kinda cute. I appreciate the effort for something 'different' on this one.

Cythare - Police State
GREAT flavor. And the cost actually seems kind of appropriate for how much we're getting? I think?

haywire - Roaring Embers
This is big. Even without the Pyrokinesis effect, this is 4 mana draw 4 cards in a mono red deck, that can't be countered. And I'm not convinced that's okay. Unless you meant to have the Discard 3 be an additional cost, in which case, then I'm not sure the card is even that enticing?

Meg - Prismatic Sphinx
You walk the fine line between real entry and %$#%.

spacemonaut - Cleaver of the Dawn
An equipment! Unexpected. Haste feels a bit out of place on here, so heavily white. That's a sweet effect though. Heck of a bomby feeling mythic.


Winner: Cythare cause the flavor of Police State was really really good.

Next: Protect and provide

[mellifluoresce]

Last Ride of the Aegis 1GW
Legendary Enchantment - Aura Saga (R)
Enchant creature

Whenever a creature an opponent controls attacks, if you're the defending player, create a Food token unless that creature's controller pays 1.

Imagine complaining about low entries and saying you did a bad challenge when there were nine non-troll entries for the last one
