What a disappointment. It's worded slightly incorrectly, which makes me upset that this won it. Oh well, I guess my Inner Perfection Nazi will have to take a back seat.
Congratulations Trip, definietly an interesting card. Are you in the June compition? If so I look forward to competing with you again. Maybe you wont get so lucky this time :p;).

Congratulations, Cantripmancer! Very cool card. I like how it has both flexibility and flavor.
Quick rules question about this: Does the phoenix come into play every upkeep even if the amount of spent is nil? It'd be interesting if it did because it could interact with cards like Fecundity.

Yes. That's why he left off the "If you do" clause.
BTW, any word on when this'll be up on the main page?

Interesting point (what would happen with Pandemonium?) but Fecundity wouldn't work since it doesn't hit the graveyard, it would be rfg first.

Cypher, with Pandemonium in play, Bennu would cause damage whenever he came into play with power greater than 0, and cause a trigger that would deal 0 damage to a creature or player if its power was 0 or -1. But you're correct: Fecundity doesn't work.
So no life gain effect?!?! bummer. Anyways, doesn't matter, I'm gonna stop so I dont turn this into a 'what crazy combos can you make with Cantripmancers card' thread XD.
Congrats again.

I really don't know. Hannes is the only one who can update the special monthly winners sidebar (and award trophies), and since any server issues take precedent we just have to wait.

Well, he was nice enough to give me my trophy! But it would be nice to see my pretty on the front page.... Understandable, though. Custom Cards aren't exactly the backbone of the site (although we are one or two of the ribs!).
I'm afraid this is all my fault. I confess, part of my motivation behind the final round task was because I wanted to see a pretty phoenix picture on the front page. My selfishness and duplicity has thusly backfired in a stroke of irony I obviously tempted the universe to dispense.

One thought though: why isn't this black? It seems like a totally seamless fusion of the "shade" ability (see Nantuko Shade) and the "upkeep recur" ability (see Nether Traitor), both of which appear lots lots lots in black. Yes, they appear a bit in red, and you fixed it perfectly with flavour, but it just feels like it'd be a real clincher in black. Not to mention it's a creature that can't survive without a greedy supply of mana. (suicidal)
*Shrug* Anyway, you're a winning card designer, not me!

Um, actually, you have valid points. I didn't put this in black because...wait for it...the requirement called for a red phoenix. And I like it in red: it feels very passionate/impetuous/very me-me-me oriented (me-me-me being one of the areas that black and red overlap).
And me being a winning card designer doesn't necessarily mean anything. Again, you make great points for putting it in black.
@Necromagus: Braid of Fire? Brrr...I didn't even notice that combo...sick, eh wot? I wonder if that would send my card over the broken edge...

I'd like to thank all the wonderful judges for their scores...and I was wondering if anyone actually caught the Bennu reference.
Yay!
