Professor Zoom4UBR
Legendary Creature - Human Rogue (R)
Haste
Whenever Professor Zoom attacks, tap all creatures your opponents control.
Suspend 5--2U
When you suspend Professor Zoom, tap target permanent.
5/5 "It was me, Barry! I tapped your permanent!"
Green Arrow2R Legendary Creature - Human Archer (R)
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield, you may have Green Arrow deal 3 damage to it. If you do, it loses this ability. 2W: Exile Green Arrow, then put it bcak onto the battlefield.
3/2 "This is confusing... You know, Green Arrow? I'm green?"
Talking about this whole "better than Magic" business, does anybody know of any card games with open information and no RNG(unsolved, obv)?
I don't know, I just like solvable games. You can really feel how your skill grows with each passing match.
Color KidG
Legendary Creature - Human (U) 1G: Change the color of target spell or permanent for any color of mana spent on this ability. "He can make the sun red and Superman is basically dead. Or he can make you blind! Or change your white blood cells to yellow! I tell you, not useless!"

Wizards can start putting booster packs inside dog poo and dog owners will still complain.
Am Shegar (Caped Crusader): Perfect color choice for Batman. As a card, this is pretty cool and well balanced. I just don't think the mechanics really reflects Batman as a character.
scarbo (Scorch): A character I didn't know! Great twist on the ritual stuff. I think this card is perfect for aggro instead of combo, as combo don't want to depend on targetteable creatures to cast their spells.
Cythare (Goldnight Harrier): Another character I didn't know! Nice design. Simple, innovative and in-color. Either fight to win or just retire.
Atogaholic (Professor Zoom): This is messy, but once you get it, it's pretty cool. I'm just not sure it captures Professor Zoom as a character.
Am Shegar (Green Arrow): What a great card! It captures perfectly Green Arrow as a character. It's fairly costed, its triggered ability is on color and its activated ability is on color too. And both complement greatly!
SelesnyaNewLife (Turtle Man): Yet another character I didn't know! Cool that it reflects its tendency to do things "slowly", but overall the card is boring (which I think Turtle Man is, too).
Am Shegar (Color Kid): Well, as straight as you can get with this character. But the card itself isn't that much of useful. Maybe make it a 1/2 creature?
Winterspring (Ozymandias): Ozymandias is a great character and manipulator, both of his resources and others' resources too. So I think its ability reflects that pretty good, but I don't find it excesively useful.

Does it look good? Additional draws always look appealing, but it seems like the community is finally getting over it; there is barely any exitement over the Origins Dragon, and "it's a new Confidant" cries are barely echoes of the years past. Talking about that, the wink at fabled 2-cmc powerhouses cycle certainly adds hype.
Is it good? You drop it early and discard too much. You drop it late and it dies, because the stats are terrible. Maybe it can find a spot in some ridiculous aggro, but one might doubt even that. ArchSinccubus
Does it look good? A terrible statline and a potential for growth that's hardly impressive will probably not vow anyone.
Is it good? Well, you hit the mark here; it's terribad. Typeline is a cherry on top of this dung cake. Sadly, it's not exciting-bad, it's homelands-bad. admirableadmiral
Does it look good? Potential is there, certainly, as there is no visible cap on the draw and cost is laughingly low. I imagine the Rumor Mill, and the idealistic kid who just dug up Experiment One from his collection - in his eyes there shines a spark; his Simic deck will finally stop running out of gas. Most will ignore it, though, as boardstate-variable draw engines dissapointed us time and time again.
Is it good? Anything that can draw you 0 is suspect, and this draws more very rarely. You never play it turn two and probably save it for a developed board, but if that is a case, why even play it? Atogaholic
Sidenote: the sweetest flavor. Just perfect.
Does it look good? It's one of those cards that are always instantly dismissed. "Sure it is cool, you know, I'm happy they are dedicatingmythic slots to this and not standart staples". Sorry, I just can't imagine a guy getting exited for this even standart-wise.
Is it good? Three turns is a long time. Games are won and lost, thousands of people die and arrive into this world, empires crumble, the glory fades... What I mean is when you get your transformed side, you'll probably go "that's it?". avatarz
Does it look good? Absolutely. It's pushed beyond every boundary already set, doesn't actually eat your board and hey - life is just another resource, LSV have said that, also every other player ever. Two turn clock if you weren't being replaced with a goldfish first three turns, and the first reactions will be certainly - metagame is doomed! All praise our new red overlords!
Is it good? Life is a resource, but you can't go all-in. When(not if) this is removed, you are in 1-5 HP range, and this means:
1. You lose against anything with reach;
2. You can't miss a single attack, and that means using your creatures for blocking, which is deadly in red.
A great design because it is not just bad, it is terrible, and for every win you gain you'll lose three+ times. Winterspring
Does it look good? So my creature is turbo-indestructible. I guess that is somewhat impressive.
Is it good? It's not clear why you would put something like that in your deck, as it does nothing to further your gameplan. Also terrible card disadavntage is an unhappy prospect. It can be ok in a Pariah shell, perhaps, but that is a combo deck to explain to people what is a combo deck. Ink-Treader
Does it look good? Not really? It reads really badly, and the sole card in this challenge which is actually better than it looks, even though it still is bad. Even after a quick glance the initial impression is that is a do-nothing. This gets better if you misread it as "for each damage dealt", or skip the creature part, but that's not how the challenge works.
Is it good? No. It is usually worse than "Target player loses 1 life for each creature you control".
WINNER: avatarz
