When Fjelkir enters the battlefield, put the top two cards of your library into your graveyard, then return Fjelkir to its owner's hand unless you exile exactly two instant and/or sorcery cards from your graveyard. If you do, mark one as first and the other as second. Then create a blue Saga Enchantment token with

well, somebody could make a new Club Flamingo thread on the new site.
To be clear I'm referring to myself there.
I wasn't expecting to have to make a new post so soon after the last one, but I guess my hand was forced.
When the time comes and the new site is up I'll make a new Club Flamingo there, as well as providing one final retrospective post here. End of an era indeed, but just like last time it'll rise again.
The question being, what form will the new CF take? Will it be the devil-may-care current contests we have, or will it revert to its initial state, much like a resurrectedTranscendent Master (ten entries per challenge, rubric scoring for judgments)?

Kunmangwag, the Prismatic
I'm a big sucker for 5 color things, and in this case it makes a lot of sense as a creator myth. Also the idea of it kind of swooping in and enhancing all of its creations is quite cool
Cardz5000
Valen, The War King
Interesting take on the Amonkhet mechanic, but this flavorwise if it seems a bit off. Sitting back and making other people fight doesn't seem to fit a BWR "War King" 7/4. Perhaps a ruler (or even a non-creature palace type thing) with many champions in UW or W would have made a bit more sense.
TheRavenManIsSquee
Mischievous Cow
Originality points, as cows are basically always life givers, farmers, or strength symbols in mythology. However, the card really should be blue given the trickster, flipping coins, and shuffling cards.

Laughing Coyote
I actually like this card a lot. It's simple, but it tells the story well even without any flavor text. It has a very Native American feel which I'm currently a fan of as well.
Mergatroid_Jones
Fjelkir the Skald
I really like the idea of a legendary bard, and the putting a saga into play is very thematic. Getting cards from the graveyard is a nice touch (retelling history). The card is a bit overcomplicated though, it may have been preferable for him to create a Saga on ETB.

The name is a nice touch, and the design is quite interesting (there aren't many 5/2 defenders). Overall a solid card that serves its story well.
TotallyHaywirer
Flittering Sneeze
Interesting that people could have developed a positive superstition regarding sneezes; I suppose Theros must have been quite resistant to disease! Having a faerie cause them is very much in line, and the effect works well, especially since it's global.

Clamorous Aftmun
I think this one has the best story potential out of all of them, just because it actually introduces an original myth in the flavor text. Initially I thought this would win, but I'm not really sure how to relate a hairy wolf giant who controls the weather to the actual card effect, which seems more like a momentary delay or inconvenience. Perhaps I am missing the reference here.

Overall the sneeze ability was too thematically appropriate with the flavor text to pass up.
Honorable mention to Laughing Coyote , which was almost as good as a complete card (also I wanted to make a super hero magic card), and to Clamorous Aftmun, which would make a great addition to an actual story.

That's basically all up to you. You should probably take all those things into consideration. Sometimes I like to assign a point value to different qualities (4/5 Design, 3/5 Flavor, 5/5 Printability), and sometimes I just go with the card that feels the best. Everybody has a different judging style.
With judging I wait until there are at least five entries, or do it after three days regardless.

Let me clean them up."
4/4
(Sheesh this is hard to concept.
I hope it's clear that Marken is the problem in the presented conflict. It's very hard to express on a Magic card.
Next: Remake a card from Alpha/Beta, keeping its name but changing its card type.
Ok, judging. Sorry for tardiness, 6 hours of finals can really drain you.
Xaethier, the Mana-Starved
I like big rainbow-colored snake gods as much as the next guy, but I don't know if the bad is worth the good with Xaethier. Either you cast him on turn 5, next turn you exile lands, and the turn after that you can flip him, assuming he hasn't been removed in which case you just timewalked yourself twice. Maybe if the downside was a little less harsh, like the lands coming back at your precombat main phase so you could at least use the mana, I could definitely get behind this.
Everted Valley
Plain old "screw with everybody's game plan" cards are always fun (I mean that sincerely, I have a Norin, the Wary EDH deck), and Everted Valley does it well. Aside from some issues with can't/can overrulings, I really like the chaos ability, because opponents can't respond once you roll, so they have to risk playing their cards at an inopportune time or losing the ability to play them at all.
Machinations of Ezuri
I like this card conceptually a lot, gaining some experience and clearing the board or buying back etb/cast triggers. I can't decide if it feels more Ezuri or Mixxix though, between flashback and being an instant with high generic cost. It feels extremely strong, however, especially as the fact that it doesn't target means it ignores hexproof/shroud and your opponents can't really interact with it besides just countering it.
Dreamscapes
I'm always a sucker for bestow, and putting it on lands feels very interesting. Some, like Placid, seem overcosted and very typical of what you'd expect, but the ramping benefit can't be overlooked, especially in red, where Thunderflash becomes "Sac a creature: Ping 1 and put a land into play", which is an interaction that seems just abusable enough to be fun.
Hammar Awakened
I'm reviewing this one instead of Council's Decision as it's newer and I didn't much care for the sorcery speed counterspell regardless. Better-than-basic lands are always powerful, and hammar is no exception. A land that can become a big creature and swing t6 with no ramp is a very powerful threat, especially with as much blocker dissuasion as it has.
Fortified Clearing
This feels like a spiritual relative of the bouncelands, but comparing the two isn't quite as fair. This is a tapland that ramps and fixes, and is resilient to destruction, whereas the bounces smooth out curves by floating your playable land count. Regardless it's a solid, robust card, but not the most exciting thing ever.
Marken, Twisted Predestinator
I had to reread a few times to figure out the flavor, but I got there. The tradeoffs of your opponents being able to pump their creatures vs making them vulnerable to Marken's purge ability are interesting, but I think being a 2 mana 4/4 might be a tad bit strong for everything he does. If he lands on curve, he's swinging on t3 and your opponents are forced into a bad monstrous to trade or they just get punched, and if Marken lives, they're gonna be on the back foot for a while. Plus, in white, cards like path and swords make having your opponents creatures become bigger no big deal. Very interesting concept though, favorite flavor.
Mergatroid_Jones
Being able to provide an effect as well as disincentivize your opponents from killing a certain creature, plus the possibility of using it as a way to ramp in big red combined all just pique my curiosity, and casting lands definitely fits the unusual bill.
That makes our next challenge: Any planeswaker who wasn't uncommon in War of the Spark as a WAR uncommon planeswalker (One static ability and one loyalty ability).
Rowan, the Last Kenrith4R
Legendary Planeswalker (U)
Whenever Rowan or another planeswalker you control dies, Rowan deals 2 damage to target creature and 2 damage to that creature's controller.

4/4
(Sheesh this is hard to concept.
Next: Remake a card from Alpha/Beta, keeping its name but changing its card type.
Xaethier, the Mana-Starved
I like big rainbow-colored snake gods as much as the next guy, but I don't know if the bad is worth the good with Xaethier. Either you cast him on turn 5, next turn you exile lands, and the turn after that you can flip him, assuming he hasn't been removed in which case you just timewalked yourself twice. Maybe if the downside was a little less harsh, like the lands coming back at your precombat main phase so you could at least use the mana, I could definitely get behind this.
Everted Valley
Plain old "screw with everybody's game plan" cards are always fun (I mean that sincerely, I have a Norin, the Wary EDH deck), and Everted Valley does it well. Aside from some issues with can't/can overrulings, I really like the chaos ability, because opponents can't respond once you roll, so they have to risk playing their cards at an inopportune time or losing the ability to play them at all.
Machinations of Ezuri
I like this card conceptually a lot, gaining some experience and clearing the board or buying back etb/cast triggers. I can't decide if it feels more Ezuri or Mixxix though, between flashback and being an instant with high generic cost. It feels extremely strong, however, especially as the fact that it doesn't target means it ignores hexproof/shroud and your opponents can't really interact with it besides just countering it.
Dreamscapes
I'm always a sucker for bestow, and putting it on lands feels very interesting. Some, like Placid, seem overcosted and very typical of what you'd expect, but the ramping benefit can't be overlooked, especially in red, where Thunderflash becomes "Sac a creature: Ping 1 and put a land into play", which is an interaction that seems just abusable enough to be fun.
Hammar Awakened
I'm reviewing this one instead of Council's Decision as it's newer and I didn't much care for the sorcery speed counterspell regardless. Better-than-basic lands are always powerful, and hammar is no exception. A land that can become a big creature and swing t6 with no ramp is a very powerful threat, especially with as much blocker dissuasion as it has.
Fortified Clearing
This feels like a spiritual relative of the bouncelands, but comparing the two isn't quite as fair. This is a tapland that ramps and fixes, and is resilient to destruction, whereas the bounces smooth out curves by floating your playable land count. Regardless it's a solid, robust card, but not the most exciting thing ever.
Marken, Twisted Predestinator
I had to reread a few times to figure out the flavor, but I got there. The tradeoffs of your opponents being able to pump their creatures vs making them vulnerable to Marken's purge ability are interesting, but I think being a 2 mana 4/4 might be a tad bit strong for everything he does. If he lands on curve, he's swinging on t3 and your opponents are forced into a bad monstrous to trade or they just get punched, and if Marken lives, they're gonna be on the back foot for a while. Plus, in white, cards like path and swords make having your opponents creatures become bigger no big deal. Very interesting concept though, favorite flavor.
Mergatroid_Jones
Being able to provide an effect as well as disincentivize your opponents from killing a certain creature, plus the possibility of using it as a way to ramp in big red combined all just pique my curiosity, and casting lands definitely fits the unusual bill.
That makes our next challenge: Any planeswaker who wasn't uncommon in War of the Spark as a WAR uncommon planeswalker (One static ability and one loyalty ability).
Legendary Planeswalker (U)
Whenever Rowan or another planeswalker you control dies, Rowan deals 2 damage to target creature and 2 damage to that creature's controller.
{-2}: Gain control of target creature until end of turn. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn.
Starting Loyalty: 5
IIW: Morph
