Welcome to NEXUS FLAMINGO! If you aren't familiar with the rules for offshoots of a wildly-popular custom card game that are now hosted on a forum created as a response to the fallout from multiple corporate buyouts and the logical conclusion of the changing trends of internet discussion, open the spoiler right here. If you've posted in "the Winner is Judge" before, you'll be fine.

1. While I may more or less be in cold storage here, you can still reach out to me (people know how to find me) for help moving the thread along.

2. If you are the judge and fail to judge in a reasonable time frame, other members may summon me to judge for you, using whatever criteria I feel like. Don't subject your fellow posters to this. Have a heart.

3. If you do not post an "if I win" challenge, you cannot win.

4. Double posting and certain spammy posts are not allowed. Please be courteous to other posters and the server hardware.

5. I deleted the other rules that used to be here.

Default rubric for boring people

Card Balance /10: Is the card printable?

BLESS HIS NAME

HIT THE THANK ICON TO PAY WORSHIP

[Megiddo]

Hello CCC&G!

Welcome to the eighth (I assume) WINNER IS JUDGE KNOCKOFF STYLE THREAD!

This double post will be your introduction to the thread.

For your inaugural challenge, I will judge!

Your challenge is:

Make a non-legendary card that would fit into one of the Commander 2019 decks!

For reference: https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Commander_2019

I'll be judging using a method of judging that I discover sometime between now and when I feel like judging. I'll close at approximately 10 entries.

Enjoy!

[Megiddo]

y'all were too fast lmao

[mellifluoresce]

Now would be a good time for me to mention that I won't be enforcing the spam rule at ALL within this and only this thread.

it was one of my most successful challenges and I'm surprised it managed to avoid leading to any infractions lel

I hope you remember who exactly was CCC mod and administrator during the time

Of course it didn't lead to any infractions because Clan Flamingo was the shadow government of MTGS

Sanguine Psychosis 2BR
Enchantment (R)
If you would discard a card, you may instead pay half your life total rounded up and exile it. When you do, you may play that card without paying its mana cost.

IIW: A creature card with a casting cost of UUR

[Cythare]

The card initially said "cast that card without paying its mana cost", but I'm not going to stop someone from paying half of their life total to play a discarded land instead of just playing it. It's not my job to tell you how to live your life.
