Battlepulper Titan4RW
Creature - Giant Warrior (R)
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, destroy the creature with the least power that player controls. You gain life equal to the destroyed creature's toughness.
4/6
Yeah, there's gotta be a better way to template that.
The idea is to reduce extraneous triggers from multiples as well as the memory issues that multiple Cyclopean Tombs have (they can't remove mire counters from other Cyclopean Tombs).
Unfortunately, that means clunk city and implementing named emblems, I think. Basically, there's no good way to template effects that gradually wear off.
There is a special circle in Hell for Melvins of your caliber.
That's not even his final form.

just remove all of the counters immediately when the goatshaper leaves the battlefield. don't goon this up for no reason.
Or, to actually make a functional card:
Goatshaper1RWU
Creature - Giant Wizard (R)
At the beginning of your upkeep, exile target non-Goat creature until Goatshaper leaves the battlefield. That creature's controller puts a 0/1 Goat creature token onto the battlefield. Exile the token when Goatshaper leaves the battlefield.

Delayed reversion is literally the dumbest thing possible.

You mean I'm just supposed to ignore challenges that I think are interesting but can't come up with a decent idea for, rather than posting random cards that fit the challenge but are horrible?
:gonk::gonk::gonk::gonk::gonk:ok
(Seriously, it's not like I actually have time to judge right now, so I have no problem with posting bad designs for the time being. I'll return to doing good designs next month.)
You don't even have to template it particularly weirdly. Just have it say:
Goatshaper1RWU
Creature - Giant Wizard (R)
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a caprid counter on target non-Goat creature. As long as it has a caprid counter on it, it's a 0/1 Goat with no abilities.
When Goatshaper leaves the battlefield, remove all caprid counters from all creatures that a caprid counter was put onto with Goatshaper.
4/4
Yes, it forces you to keep track of which Goatshaper put which counter where, but once it's a Goat, you can't choose that creature again (in mostcircumstances), so you just need to remember which caprid counters came from which. It's cleaner, and not ureasonable to ask of a player.
I'm aware that a solution exists to an unrelated question, but the issue is "why the **** is there no good way to template a 'it wears off one thing at a time' effect?"
I mean, seriously, there are good flavor reasons for things to wear off that way... but there is not a good way to word it, and that's a pain in the goat impact.
It's okay. CC came up with an alternate solution that works. I'll change it later, or I may just leave it as a cautionary example to everyone that people will misinterpret as a good idea.
Titan of SuperiorityRGW

At the beginning of each upkeep, if ~ is not the creature with the greatest power, put a +1/+1 counter on it. It has the will to tower above all else, and the strength to make it so.
