Oh, don't I just love posting cards with a ton of rules baggage ^^.
Still doesn't beat "End the turn" effects, though.
On the note of cards with a ton of rules baggage (and just generally being a pain in the neck for tournaments) "Split the game in half, then play both halves simultaneously" seems like an amusing idea. But then, I didn't feel like posting a serious card today.

Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature or a loyalty counter on target planeswalker. True strength is located within, but sometimes we need a friend to help us find it.
should say "choose one." as written it can only be cast if there's both a creature and a planeswalker to target
I would like to apologize for my recent rules infractions. I will be more careful next time to both get my votes in on time as well as to read the rules more carefully (missed where it said you couldn't vote for yourself). As such I'll not participate until I'm off probation. Again, my apologies.
We hate you. You're a bad person and you should feel bad.
KIDDING!
Looking forward to seeing you back with us when your probation is up.
I mean, yeah, I'm a hard-ass about enforcing the voting rules. (Most of the time. On days where we have 20+ people voting, I'll miss people voting for themselves occasionally, just because it's something that doesn't happen very often.)
But I'm a hard-ass about enforcing the voting rules because they're really not that hard to read up on, and they make things at least somewhat more fair.
That said... people waiting out their probation is kind of contrary to the whole spirit of the probation system. (For that matter, so is admirableadmiral's habit of getting on probation as often as possible, but that's another issue entirely.) The idea is you screw up voting once, I point it out and mention that we do keep track of that sort of thing, and you then go back and re-read the voting rules in their entirely like you should have done in the first place.
If you screw it up a second time while you're already on probation, then you get a slap on the wrist - but I don't normally start threatening to card people for screwing up their voting until they do it four or five times in a relatively short period of time. (It's more work than it's worth to do it before then, unless you're blatantly trying to annoy me by doing things like voting for everything or almost everything, since I can't actually tie the card to a specific post. So you get a few chances before that.)
Grizzled Guard2WW
Creature - Human Soldier (U)
Whenever an opponent attacks with a creature with haste that entered the battlefield this turn, you may put Grizzled Guard from your hand onto the battlefield.
2/5 He knows every trick and shortcut in the book, even that one.
triggered abilities don't work from the hand, but this ability could work as an alternative casting cost:
"You may cast Grizzled Guard as though it had flash without paying its mana cost as long as a creature that entered the battlefield this turn is attacking you."
Hm? We had 11 voters and ten submitted cards in yesterday's thread.
Unrelated, but I thought I get your attention...
Suggestion: Could you add the Cardnames to the player names in the polls (starting next poll)? It would aid the voting process since you actually vote for cards rather than players and might hence not take note of which player your favorite design belongs to.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.
[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
I'll think about it. The reason I haven't been doing that in the past is (1) it's one more thing for other people to remember if I need to get someone else to post the thread and (2) because of how I put together the poll normally, it'd require redoing my workflow which I've managed to get into a fairly reasonable rhythm.
Akylise, Champion of AkrosWR
Legendary Creature - Human Soldier (R)
Whenever Akylise would be dealt damage or destroyed, flip a coin. If you win the flip, Akylise gains indestructible until end of turn.
3/3
this is another case where a triggered ability wouldn't work. you want to have a static replacement effect here. "if something would happen, this other thing happens instead."

I knew it didn't work when I wrote it but I was too lazy to fix it and the intention was clear
If my card was changed so that it matched the card below, would it be better received?
Flame Oracle1RR Creature – Human Shaman Trample Whenever you scry, Flame Oracle gets +1/+0 until end of turn. 2R: Scry 1. If you activate this ability more than two times in a turn, sacrifice it at the next beginning of the next step. 2/3
That just looks like an overcomplicated version of Flamespeaker Adept. I mean, the original version really is, too, but that at least is more flavorful and more red - giving it the outdated Initiates of the Ebon Hand drawback just makes it worse.
other way around. vote for 2 cards then post a new one for tomorrow.
Thank you

The idea for my card today was sparked by a similar creature talked about in the Custom Card forum.
It is suppose to represent the owner giving it away at no cost but there is a catch. He didn't want it because the thing is a nut bag. Someone else says hey I'll take it. Then the person who originally took it says hey on second thought I think I will take it
nice one!

Seriously, though, it's of about the same power level as Ajani's Chosen. (So I am changing it to a rare.)

out of everyone elses, I thought yours was the best put-together card. if i could, I would have voted for yours twice.
