Today's Challenge: 0-cost creatures
.::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.

Not 100% sure if this is what was meant with the prompt.
Mirror of Possibilities
Artifact (M)
If Mirror of Possibilities is in your opening hand, you may begin the game with it on the battlefield. If you do, each player exiles a random card from their library face-up. For as long as Mirror of Possibilities is on the battlefield, those cards can be played as if they were in their owner's hand.
Artifactcycling
(, Discard this card: Search your library for an artifact card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.)
IIW: A nonland card without mana cost (Not mana cost
)

IIW: Blood token with no relation to Vampires.

Votes: OneAndOnly, Caspernicus (i loved both of these designs.)
Betting Pool
Enchantment
Counci'ls Dilemna - Starting with you each player votes to raise or call. When a player votes to raise, they exile the top card of their library face down, then repeat this process, but each player that voted call must vote raise or lose the game. Repeat this process until all players have consecutively voted call.
(Every player must consecutively vote raise to remain in game. A card is exiled every time a player votes raise. To end the process, all players must consecutively vote call.)
When Betting Pool enters the battlefield, players gain 1 luck counter for each card exiled with it. Whenever a creature deals combat damage to a player, that player loses a luck counter. The last player to have any luck counters on it becomes the winner.
: Put a card exiled with Betting Pool into your hand. Add
. Only the winner may activate this ability.
That was a huge chunk of text, so I hope that makes sense. It's like poker in essence.
IIW: A really simple design that would fit into Alpha magic.

Ante-Thesis
Enchantment (R)
When Ante-Thesis enters the battlefield, each player exiles the top card card of their library.
Suspend 4—
{1}{U} (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay {1}{U} and exile it with five time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.)
Whenever a time counter is removed from Ante-thesis while it's in exile, scry 2.
IIW: Non-Eldrazi and nonartifact colorless creature

Criminal's Contract
Sorcery
When Criminal's Contract enters the battlefield, each player exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile a nonland card. Then put land cards exiled this way into their owners' graveyards. At the beginning of the next end step, for each five cards in target opponent's graveyard, choose a card exiled by Criminal's Contract. Cast spells chosen this way without paying their mana costs. Then target opponent casts each spell exiled by Criminal's Contract not chosen this way without paying their mana costs.

Hedge on Red R
Enchantment (Rare)
Bet
(At the start of the game, choose a card from your sideboard and exile it.)
At the beginning of your upkeep, draw a card, then discard a card at random. Then, if you discard a card with mana value equal to a card you betted, you may put it into your hand. Otherwise, target opponent may cast it without paying its mana value.

Finding effective wordings for novel effects can be tricky. My goal was to make it so that the reader knew what it was meant to do, and we know it succeeds there.
Novel effects are fun, though. I always appreciate netn10's designs for the fact that they try new things.
Auction of Fate
Sorcery
R
Each player exiles the top card of their library. As long as those cards are exiled, during each player's turn, that player may cast those cards and may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast them.
IIW: A card with two of the following: Kicker, Entwine, Cleave

Magnanimity 3WWW
Creature - Incarnation (R)
Lifelink
When Magnanimity enters the battlefield and at the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top card of your library. For as long as that card is in exile, creatures you control get +1/+1, and your opponent's may play that card, and may spend mana as if it were any color to do so. Whenever they do, draw a card.

Bet Your Life 5BB
Instant (mythic)
Make a Wager cost
X less where X is 2 minus the number of players.
Each player shuffles their library and exiles card face down with an ante counter.
For the rest of the game at the beginning of each players upkeep, if that player life total when down by 10 or more since their last turn. Each other play may choose to cast a copy of the exiled card without paying its casting cost. The ante counter is removed and card revealed. The owner of that card loses life equal to its mana value. If the revealed card was a land, each other player than the owner loses 5 life.
IIW: a new card type.

Enchantment Creature — Spirit (U)
Flying, lifelink
And there it was I heard them—those spiritual sirens of lore, whose satin voices whispered softly of the tranquility that comes with the morn and the eventide—and lo! I dropped my sword, as did my men with me, and wept aloud at the beauty that is life.

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.

@Rithaniel: Thanks
if you're talking about my The Joker design, I agree, it's probably way too easy to enable but I do wonder how much this kind of win con should cost. I should've just made him deal damage instead of outright winning the game though.

Painter's Effigy gets +1/+1 for each different color among permanents you control.
1, Reveal Painter's Effigy from your hand: Put a color counter of you choice on target nonland permanent you control.
