Today's Challenge:
Pencils

.::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.

Duskmarch Quartermaster 2GG
Creature - Rhino (U)
Trample
Whenever you attack with one or more creatures, create a Refreshment token. (It's an artifact with "1, Sacrifice this artifact: Untap target permanent.")

High Tea 2W
Enchantment (U)
Whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, create a Food unless that creature's controller pays 2.
Whenever a creature would deal combat damage to you, you may sacrifice a Food. If you do, prevent 3 of that damage.
It's only polite to set out the table when one has visitors.

IIW: Forgotten Realms speculation.

For my projects (Jeff Lionheart, "One pierced heart, two mindful horns", republished articles from my series "The Lion's Lair", and custom sets), see Leo's content index (Last updated on April 25th 2024 - Added TLL #5).
After I'm done republishing my articles I want to reprise the series focusing it more on editing, wording, and templating. Suggest potential future article topics here.

"Ya, I saw 'em. They looked just like that."
