Today's Challenge: Plants

.::To Enter::.

• Make a card that fits the current challenge.

votes: void_nothing, Alchemist

Untombed Revenant
Creature — Zombie Berserker

Haste

Whenever you discard a card, choose one that hasn't been chosen this turn —

• This creature gains deathtouch until end of turn.

3/3

IIW: "You may look at the top card of your library at any time." + You may play lands and cast spells conditionally from the top of your library (so only instants or sorceries like Melek, or spells mana value 4 or greater like Glarb)

Votes: BONDROOD, hi1433

One with Something
Instant (M)
Discard cards until you have only one card in hand. You may play that card without paying its mana cost if you discarded three or more cards this way.

IIW: A twist on an iconic card.

Votes: Alchemist, hi1433 (This should probably not be a common but I really like this mechanic)

This creature enters prepared.
At the beginning of your upkeep, destroy target enchantment. If you do, draw two cards.

Maddening Snare
Artifact {uncommon}
This enters taped and doesn't untap during the untap step.

When a creature attacks you if this is untaped, tap it and attacking player discards a card at random.

Arm — pay and tap an untaped human untap this artifact.

IIw - curse

Mindgame
Sorcery {R}
Choose target opponent. Starting with them. you and that player each name a card, then that player discards a card at random. Each player who named the discarded card creates a Treasure token and a Clue token. If you are the only player who named the discarded card, return Mindgame to your hand.
What to reveal, what to conceal, and what in what you conceal will you reveal?

voidborn

Show

Hide

For voidborn, especially if it's going on commons, I'd recommend a shorter wording. Something like (At end of combat, if this creature attacked this turn, exile it until your next upkeep. It re-enters with haste.)" Reminder text doesn't have to explicitly spell out the full mechanic, and can use slightly abbreviated wordings. The rules for "exile until..." already clarify that an object reenters under its owners control unless otherwise specified. If theft is a significant mechanic of the set, then explicitly writing out "owner's control" might be worthwhile, but otherwise I'd drop it.

iiw: "when you cast this spell, copy it for each ..."

Votes: haywire, LandellXil0cent

Wild Abandon RR

You may discard a Mountain rather than pay this spells mana cost.
