Pick one of the following guilds and the keyword that goes with it then create a multicolored (gold) card with flavor from dark/evil/twisted Ravnica.
Azorius Consideration (This creature deals combat damage after creatures without consideration.)
Boros Purity (This creature comes into play with a -1/-1 counter for each color of mana used to pay it's mana cost.)
Selesnya Reclaim N (Whenever another creature comes into play, pay N. Otherwise, turn this creature face down. It becomes a 2/2 Plant creature and gains shroud until end of turn.)
Solesticio - Simple and elegant, but I'd like it better if it was a 1/3 instead of 1/4. Consideration has a risk/reward element to it, as in I deal damage last, so if I live to deal damage at all, I also get to do something very cool. 1T4 - Now this is what consideration should be, though you've over-balanced it I think. This bad-boy is going to draw you very few cards. And the name you're looking for here would be simply Azorius Pickpocket. serotonin - This is another one that grew on my the more I looked at it. I like that way the untap ability works on offense, but really sines if you use it on defense. WUPBRGspellsPlanarChaos - An interesting card, but consideration doesn't seem to factor into it's main ability at all. Quality-wise, I think it should say Whenever a creature deals combat damage to ~, tap that creature. Alabran - I like the idea behing this card, and I wanted to nit-pick about the grokability of it, but the more I looked at it, the better I liked it. blacker_lotus - No Show GiftsTrix - I like this card, despite it's power. Lowering it's toughness would go a long way to balancing this sucker out. As kind of an Azorious take on deathtouch, it is very cool. MagicProfessor28 - This card needs some work. First, I assume it's an Enchant creature, since it says enchanted creature... and the consideration ability needs defining. I suppose it's supposed to be When ~ comes into play, enchanted creature gains consideration until end of turn, but it would be better if it said Enchanted creature has consideration. All in all poor execution, sorry. Pseudofate (probation) - No Show Dranith - No Show
I forgot to add Purity to the second card! :S
I'm going to change it. Sorry if no one likes it. I preffer to be DQ that to read 8 comments about my card being DQ.
GiftsTrix: I like the ability of removing the creature from the game if it deals combat damage, imagine that creature equipped (or enchanted) with something that gives first strike, a brutal creature removal, but has shroud, so it can’t be enchanted or equipped… and it would be good only against creature based decks, and against flyers don’t help much… I see it as a common, not playable card. The flavor is just ok
Alabran: Another Azorious. I liked the flavor about Talionis, and if the creature survives the hit has a big chance to kill the guy who deal it, due to it will strike after receive the damage. I think a 0/5 guy that is a good killer for 2 mana is cheap, should cost at least 1 more and /or be rare
WUPBRGspellsPlanarChaos: We stay with Azorious (seems a popular guild), A 1/3 creature for 3 colored mana of two different colors seems a hig costed creature for me, seems like a common card, the ability is good and fits with the colors. Decent flavor
serotonin: Azorious, Azorious and more Azorious. 2/6 Flyer for 5 mana and with a Powerful ability (of course only against a cretaure based deck). I think that if the creature would also lose all its abilities the flavor would fit better, due to a creature with defender could have still much activity **cough**Oona**cough**. But is ok. I like the flavor
Solesticio: Oh, surprise!!! an Azorious... The creature seems like GiftsTrix one (same cost, same P/T, same creature types), but the ability seems less powerful, but this ability it is good against any deck, and this don’t have shroud so it could be killed easier but you could also give it bonuses, for me that makes it a lot better than Gifts Trix one. I think we have a winner…
MagicProfessor28: Wow Another Azorious. I have to say four hings about this card. First. The card is Hybrid not Gold, as the challenge requeriments. Second The Aura must say what kind of permanent it can enchant. Third, the first ability works when the enchantment comes into play? or at the beginning of each upkeep or when? Fourth, The second ability means that at the beginning of any upkeep, the enchantment controller is able to sacrifice it in order to tap all lands and the lands don’t untap each player’s next untap step? Or you wanted mean only that player’s upkeep lands?. Nice try, but the resultant card was bad. I expected more from a Magic Proffesor
1T4: Now Azorious familiy is complete. This card second ability seems the one that Solesticio posted, but the ability is more limited, if the opponent has no creatures, your card is a bad Savannah Lions. I really expected more from the one that posted that ability.
Don't worry too much about it, BlackBull. Generally the rule of thumb is that after the round is closed, last minute changes are allowed until the first critiques are posted. Dodavehu has the final word on it, though.

CCL Winner- July '08, Aug '08 Sept '08, Oct '08 Survivor- CCS: Lost in Takenuma, CCS: Stranded In Tolaria
I don't always play Jank, but when I do, I play Saffronolive.
New scoring system: X/20
It counts for flavor and how good the card is (makes my life easier).
Solesticio: 17/20
It is definitely a card I wouldn't mind using. It is a little too simple though. There just really isn't anything special about it. It is good and balanced, but no flavor.
1T4: 17/20
Basically a not so good version of Solesticio's card. The card name is a little better in terms of flavor of the effect and azorius is reserved but pickpockets take things so there's that.
seratonin: 18/20
A tad bit abusable but an awesome card and a creative way to use consideration (maybe if it gave the creature 1 power it'd be less overpowered). Good combo potential. Excellent flavor, loved it.
WUPBRGspellsPlanarChaos: 19/20
Slightly overpowered, but not so much that it is unfair (good infinity stack manipulation combo if you can get a Timmy ability on seratonin's card). Good combo potential. Good flavor
Alabran: 20/20
This card totally blew me away. Excellent ability and flavor. My only gripe is that i think it could have been worded better. Good job otherwise dude.
blacker_lotus: no show
GiftsTrix: 18/20
It is overpowered with shroud. I understand that 4+ power creatures don't have anything to worry about but what about all those poor people who play white weenie decks. i suppose wither could very well mess with this card though. Good flavor too.
MagicProfessor28: 18/20
Good card. Wording is wrong i think but it is good because it gives you a choice, the choice is a bit one-sided though. Good flavor too.
Longshot -Death-Blossom Thorns
Not an easy card to grock. A mini ghostly prison effect (as it will be rare that your opponent will chose to not pay the attack, and a creature that grows by putting cards on the enchantment. Funny. 5/10
GiftsTrix - Judge from the senate
An uber basalisk ability combined with consideration. I like it. Shroud might even be a bit much. 7/10
Alabran - Talonis sentry.
Interesting card, a bit wonky, but making it a copy of a creature is a nice touch, and consideration makes it work. I like the way the consideration makes a new ability possible.
6/10
WUPBRGSpellsPlanarChaos - Corrupt Beaurocrat
Consideration seems added to this card. The when dealt damage hinders the damager, this seems ok. Just not exciting, usefull or in spirit of challenge.
4/10
Seratonin- Azorian Gatekeeper
Again, the consideration seems tacked on, especially with setting power equal to 0. Will be very stally.
5/10
Solistico-Azorious Wizard
An excellent Magpie varient.
8/10
MagicProfessor - Compulsory Contemplation
Way too powerful, tapping all their lands for 2 turns is way too good fr just 3 mana. I have to take back what I said about consideration seeming taked on to the other cards. This is a new standard for taked on abilities.
1/10
1T4-Azorious Pickpocketeer
So, it has an ability that is basically impossible to trigger. Combined with a 2/1 for 2.
4/10
Blackbull- Razia
Reanimator has a new friend. That's the only deck I can see playing this, but boy can I see reanimator playing it. I'd actually like this card better witout deathtouch, because its tap ability is esentially rewritten as sac a creature, destroy target creature. The 3 damage would be better.
5/10
Top 3
1. Solistico
2.GiftsTrix
3.Alabran
Thanks for pointing that out Blackbull, I fixed it.
Catarax
Very potent, very interesting, but slightly degenerative. I mean, it would have been an interesting option to have to pay to use the ability, but instead, it's really boils down to 'Do I need a 2/2 creature right now?" Truthfully, the cost and stats help balance it out, and the flavor is excellent, but I have my reservations on the card.
Lorgalis
A different take on Reclaim, with a lot of internal synergies, but nothing degenerative, and it does offer some interesting takes. Token generation or creature? How often should I bother? Is two mana worth a token, or should i just pay 1 and save it for later. Then you get into multiples. I like it. Simple enough to be understood, but complex enough to warrant actual interest.
LongShot
*Giggles* So cool... So flavorful, so awesome, balanced, and just... 'wow.' Not to fond of straight creature kill but the entire concept is too powerful for me to disagree.
Kami of Randomness
Other than the Prowl cost, both visually and it's effect, it's a solid card, that I like. Simplicity lends itself to power. Not very original in most contexts, but it's solid
BlackBull
Love the card, but in the good world is it black? Why. I get corruption, but white/red can be evil. It doesn't need black. Disregard that, excellence. But why? Seriously? I mean the ability is fair, it's usefulness great, and well a limited bomb, and just cool, but the black really blind sided me.
Autumn Willow
*MIA*
Slikenfist
Rarity is usually expected, as it helps judge intended power level. This I'm guessing is uncommon. Now, not really big for creature recursion for red, but the card itself is justified. I love the use of pyre and just the general concept.
Ace
Good use of purity. I get the idea, but the overall presentation is a bit murky. I get the whole restriction breeding new power, but I'm not sure the flavor text conveys that perfect. Still, good design.
FruiouslySleepingIdea
Best use of pyre I think I've seen in this team. The word mornful is slightly more 'white' in flavor but the general presentation is perfect, as is power level. For a rare...
MindWrencher
Please explain the intentional for the last ability, because I have no clue how it could even start to work. Other than that the color scheme is good, and the flavor excellent, but there's either a typo or something I'm not getting.
T3
1 FSI
2 LongShot
3 BlackBull (if barely)
Lots of good design this round, so the the top slots went to the flashiest and the ones that appealed to my inner johnny.
@Seratonin: The thing is that I felt cool to give extra color that isn't in the cost, and there was a good excuse and situation (and I needed to justify deathtouch. Everything fitted well for me). I don't think the black is so out of place there. It's discussable. WR could be evil, but that doesn't means u can't justify/add evilness with black in a WR card. For the flavor aspect of the card, it stills being boros, but there is the seed of the corruption planted and growing inside her.
Looks like all of those questions that were asked of me have been answered. Just to clarify a bit--you're on probation if you didn't submit a card last round (no cards in two rounds get you booted for the month). I'm sort of ok with going back to fix something small but important after the deadline, just don't do it again
I'll put up round 3 early tomorrow morning. Get your t3s in fast!

Listen to my M:tG flavor Podcast: Story Circle! (Newest episode is all about Innistrad previews.)
Catarax - I really like the idea. Late game you can turn some lands into creatures, what's really cool. However, there's no drawback, and it can make ti powerful. (ok beside its ratio cost/power) L0ng5h0t - This one is really twisted! Maybe too much. The draw back is cool, and I like how it can become an advantage. The order of sentences isn't the correct, I almost missed the last phrase. But good card overall. BlackBull - Good idea, a twisted Razia, but, imo, you ruined it all by adding it black (and deathtouch). I don't say it's bad, or it's crap as a card, but personally, I dislike it. However, about its power, I can say that 8 mana for, at most, a 6/3 isn't good. I mean, why not play Akroma? (despite isn't legal :p) Autumn Willow - No show Lorgalis - I've to say it's another great idea. However, I think the "one per turn" should not be there. With one per turn, you can't make any token, if you want be able to protect it. If, otherwise, you want to make one, it can be responded. And it cost 2 per token, so you card would be perfect if it wasn't it. Slikenfist - Finally I have opportunity to thank all comments you had made on DCC ok now serious: I really really like this card. It's synergy is great. My only concern is about it's Pyre cost. Seems too cheap, but maybe only in theory. Maybe in game played, it wouldn't be that strong, I won't point it out. Good card. Ace - Well it is underpowered. a 2/2 for 4 mana is too much, and even its ability (that's not magnificent) don't make it playable in aggro decks. FruiouslySleepingIdea - Not so efficient as Slikenfist card, but it's well designed too. 4 for a 3/3 trampler is not bad, in limited at most, and its Pyre ability turns it in something better, but still far from awesomeness. MindWrencher - hum, I guess it's too big to maintain. What I mean is, it costs 6 to play, ok it has a big body, but it costs 2 to keep it as it is, unless you shrink some of your guys. Also, I think green has more flash than white ok maybe not :X Kami of Randomness - Don't know what say 'bout it. For on side, I like this pyroclasm effects, in other cards. On the other hand, I think you had a bad choice with the type Giant. Green doesn't have to many giants (I can't remember any, but I admit it can have some). Also, the Pyre cost is kinda weird.
@Solesticio: while i do agree there is no explicit drawback, you do lose the use of your lands (as they are now plant creatures and i devised no mechanism by which to flip them back up)
I had originally set my card to cost 1WU, but I decided against it in light of Carven Caryatid. There are few strong agro candidates that would die to Talionis Sentry, but not to Carven Caryatid (Chameleon Colossus and Ashenmoor Gouger), and Talionis Sentry doesn't net a card and is multicolored to boot, so I felt it was reasonable to down the cost by 1.
@Solesticio: while i do agree there is no explicit drawback, you do lose the use of your lands (as they are now plant creatures and i devised no mechanism by which to flip them back up)
yes, I know, but you haven't to pay for keep them as lands.

Trophyless guy.
Thought of the Month: I gave up from trying to require the 'i' on my name: SolesticIo
I'm embaressed, I finished up my judging last night, saved them as a txt document....then went to sleep! I don't expect the points for k'ing but i would like my top 3 to get the points they earned
Catarax
1.5/4-Strong card in the right deck. Have ten land in play, put a token into play and suddenly you have lethal...but wait...no more lands. I think the fact that they have no way to give you mana sources again makes it too risky to be playable in anything but casual.
4/4-Works
4.5/5-it's okay..but doesn't wow me.
10/13
Long5h0t
4/4-hmm....wow this card is nuts. I thought it was atrocious then i read a simple word...deathtouch. OMG. It's strong and taxing. It's a great white green card. I want four.
4/4-Works
4/5 I like the idea of being protected by a wall of thorns...except it isn't a wall it's an enchantment..with deathtouch. this card is having a flavor identity crisis and I'm not really comfortable screweing with the game that much.
12/13
BlackBull
4/4: Pretty balanced card. 6/3 for 8 that can attack and kill in one turn, but if you don't hae creatures you'll kill her.
2/4: She isn't black. There is no black in her cost and she's not an artifact.
2/5-This just seems lazy. It's razia + Akroma that 'twisted' by making it black....without actually costing black. and no FT to boot.
8/13
Autumn Willow no show?
Lorgalis
2/4-GILBIC of the puppet conjurer variety.
4/4-Works
4.5/5 Nothing wrong...just doesn't wow me.
10.5/13
Slikenfist
3/4-In the right deck this card is pretty sick, but assuming it's rare (kinda has to be) it's a junk rare in sealed and draft due to how hard it is to get it running.
4/4-Works
4/5-I would like the name to be alot more aggresive for a R/G goblin ball lightning equivelant. Other than that there really isn't any flavor here.
11/13
Ace
2/4- For four mana you get a 2/2 creature that can kill your creatures for a slight power boost....weak.
4/4-Works
0/5-Twisted=/=black. The name, the ability, and the FT make this card RB not RW. White would never shamelessly sacrifce or hurt it's creatures just for a temporary boost. The idea that he's perverted just adds to the idea that he's BLACK. White isn't perverted white is idealisitc to a fault.
6/13
FruiouslySleepingIdea
3/4-A 3/3 trampler for 2GR is way over costed seeing as beyond the pyre there isn't any other ability. I could see this at 1RG as a 3/3 or a 4/4 for 2GR. The ability itself is strong, but kind of hard to pull off so I would definilty reduce the cost by 1.
4/4-Works
3/5-I know these cards have to be twisted, that doesn't mean black. The pyred ability as well as the idea of pulling power from the dead is BLACK. And a mournful cyclops doesn't get stronger from the dead, probably weaker.
10/13
MindWrencher
1/4-reclaim is largely a drawback, you have this big creature that gets small if you don't pay a cost. considering that you have a 6cc 4/5 in GW...it should be alot bigger. The abilities themselves balance them out so there's no reason for it to be so tiny. The abilities are actually quite weak.
4/4-Works
2/5-This card is not GW. GW doesn't just go around and kill or even sap the strength of it's creatures. I know it has to be twisted but this is just flat out against the color pie. On top of that a summoner traditionally is a token producer or at least puts cards into play instead of allowing you to summon things.
7/13
Kami of Randomness
3/4-It's a shatter/oxidize with the possibility of pyroclasming everything...in the right deck. It's okay but it's not interesting or really that powerful. Filler.
4/4-Works
3/5-The name just seems lazy, and other than that there is no reason for it to be a tribal instant or even remotly Giant related. seems tacked on.
10/13
Ok, I'll update the points on the new round taking into account MP28 and GiftsTrix. I guess I'll even throw Giftstrix a point for at least writing the t3, if not posting them--as long as he promises never to do it again

Truthfully, the cost and stats help balance it out, and the flavor is excellent, but I have my reservations on the card.
Lorgalis
A different take on Reclaim, with a lot of internal synergies, but nothing degenerative, and it does offer some interesting takes. Token generation or creature? How often should I bother? Is two mana worth a token, or should i just pay 1 and save it for later. Then you get into multiples. I like it. Simple enough to be understood, but complex enough to warrant actual interest.
LongShot
*Giggles* So cool... So flavorful, so awesome, balanced, and just... 'wow.' Not to fond of straight creature kill but the entire concept is too powerful for me to disagree.
Kami of Randomness
Other than the Prowl cost, both visually and it's effect, it's a solid card, that I like. Simplicity lends itself to power. Not very original in most contexts, but it's solid
BlackBull
Love the card, but in the good world is it black? Why. I get corruption, but white/red can be evil. It doesn't need black. Disregard that, excellence. But why? Seriously? I mean the ability is fair, it's usefulness great, and well a limited bomb, and just cool, but the black really blind sided me.

Rarity is usually expected, as it helps judge intended power level. This I'm guessing is uncommon. Now, not really big for creature recursion for red, but the card itself is justified. I love the use of pyre and just the general concept.
Ace
Good use of purity. I get the idea, but the overall presentation is a bit murky. I get the whole restriction breeding new power, but I'm not sure the flavor text conveys that perfect. Still, good design.
FruiouslySleepingIdea
Best use of pyre I think I've seen in this team. The word mornful is slightly more 'white' in flavor but the general presentation is perfect, as is power level. For a rare...
MindWrencher
Please explain the intentional for the last ability, because I have no clue how it could even start to work. Other than that the color scheme is good, and the flavor excellent, but there's either a typo or something I'm not getting.

Lots of good design this round, so the the top slots went to the flashiest and the ones that appealed to my inner johnny.

Catarax - I really like the idea. Late game you can turn some lands into creatures, what's really cool. However, there's no drawback, and it can make ti powerful. (ok beside its ratio cost/power)
L0ng5h0t - This one is really twisted! Maybe too much. The draw back is cool, and I like how it can become an advantage. The order of sentences isn't the correct, I almost missed the last phrase. But good card overall.
BlackBull - Good idea, a twisted Razia, but, imo, you ruined it all by adding it black (and deathtouch). I don't say it's bad, or it's crap as a card, but personally, I dislike it. However, about its power, I can say that 8 mana for, at most, a 6/3 isn't good. I mean, why not play Akroma? (despite isn't legal :p)
Autumn Willow - No show
Lorgalis - I've to say it's another great idea. However, I think the "one per turn" should not be there. With one per turn, you can't make any token, if you want be able to protect it. If, otherwise, you want to make one, it can be responded. And it cost 2 per token, so you card would be perfect if it wasn't it.
Slikenfist - Finally I have opportunity to thank all comments you had made on DCC ok now serious: I really really like this card. It's synergy is great. My only concern is about it's Pyre cost. Seems too cheap, but maybe only in theory. Maybe in game played, it wouldn't be that strong, I won't point it out. Good card.
Ace - Well it is underpowered. a 2/2 for 4 mana is too much, and even its ability (that's not magnificent) don't make it playable in aggro decks.
FruiouslySleepingIdea - Not so efficient as Slikenfist card, but it's well designed too. 4 for a 3/3 trampler is not bad, in limited at most, and its Pyre ability turns it in something better, but still far from awesomeness.
MindWrencher - hum, I guess it's too big to maintain. What I mean is, it costs 6 to play, ok it has a big body, but it costs 2 to keep it as it is, unless you shrink some of your guys.
Also, I think green has more flash than whiteok maybe not :XKami of Randomness - Don't know what say 'bout it. For on side, I like this pyroclasm effects, in other cards. On the other hand, I think you had a bad choice with the type Giant. Green doesn't have to many giants (I can't remember any, but I admit it can have some). Also, the Pyre cost is kinda weird.

Catarax
1.5/4-Strong card in the right deck. Have ten land in play, put a token into play and suddenly you have lethal...but wait...no more lands. I think the fact that they have no way to give you mana sources again makes it too risky to be playable in anything but casual.
4/4-Works
4.5/5-it's okay..but doesn't wow me.
10/13
Long5h0t
4/4-hmm....wow this card is nuts. I thought it was atrocious then i read a simple word...deathtouch. OMG. It's strong and taxing. It's a great white green card. I want four.
4/4-Works
4/5 I like the idea of being protected by a wall of thorns...except it isn't a wall it's an enchantment..with deathtouch. this card is having a flavor identity crisis and I'm not really comfortable screweing with the game that much.
12/13
BlackBull
4/4: Pretty balanced card. 6/3 for 8 that can attack and kill in one turn, but if you don't hae creatures you'll kill her.
2/4: She isn't black. There is no black in her cost and she's not an artifact.
2/5-This just seems lazy. It's razia + Akroma that 'twisted' by making it black....without actually costing black. and no FT to boot.
8/13
Autumn Willow no show?
Lorgalis
2/4-GILBIC of the puppet conjurer variety.
4/4-Works
4.5/5 Nothing wrong...just doesn't wow me.
10.5/13
Slikenfist
3/4-In the right deck this card is pretty sick, but assuming it's rare (kinda has to be) it's a junk rare in sealed and draft due to how hard it is to get it running.
4/4-Works
4/5-I would like the name to be alot more aggresive for a R/G goblin ball lightning equivelant. Other than that there really isn't any flavor here.
11/13
Ace
2/4- For four mana you get a 2/2 creature that can kill your creatures for a slight power boost....weak.
4/4-Works
0/5-Twisted=/=black. The name, the ability, and the FT make this card RB not RW. White would never shamelessly sacrifce or hurt it's creatures just for a temporary boost. The idea that he's perverted just adds to the idea that he's BLACK. White isn't perverted white is idealisitc to a fault.
6/13
FruiouslySleepingIdea
3/4-A 3/3 trampler for 2GR is way over costed seeing as beyond the pyre there isn't any other ability. I could see this at 1RG as a 3/3 or a 4/4 for 2GR. The ability itself is strong, but kind of hard to pull off so I would definilty reduce the cost by 1.
4/4-Works
3/5-I know these cards have to be twisted, that doesn't mean black. The pyred ability as well as the idea of pulling power from the dead is BLACK. And a mournful cyclops doesn't get stronger from the dead, probably weaker.
10/13
MindWrencher
1/4-reclaim is largely a drawback, you have this big creature that gets small if you don't pay a cost. considering that you have a 6cc 4/5 in GW...it should be alot bigger. The abilities themselves balance them out so there's no reason for it to be so tiny. The abilities are actually quite weak.
4/4-Works
2/5-This card is not GW. GW doesn't just go around and kill or even sap the strength of it's creatures. I know it has to be twisted but this is just flat out against the color pie. On top of that a summoner traditionally is a token producer or at least puts cards into play instead of allowing you to summon things.
7/13
Kami of Randomness
3/4-It's a shatter/oxidize with the possibility of pyroclasming everything...in the right deck. It's okay but it's not interesting or really that powerful. Filler.
4/4-Works
3/5-The name just seems lazy, and other than that there is no reason for it to be a tribal instant or even remotly Giant related. seems tacked on.

1st: Seratonin
2nd: Giftstrix
3rd: Solesticio (and I think the guy is a little bit overpowered)
Short notes:
It4: I think your card is lowpowered. Having a thoughness of 1 it will never reach to hit the adversary. So what u have is an overcosted weak grizzly.
Alabran: I think it should cost 1 more.
WUBPGRspellsplanarchaos: I think it's overcosted, or the card is lowpowered. U pick one of them.
Magicprofessor: It's horribly missworded at one point u can't understand what the card does. I have a particular rejection feeling about that kind of entries. Sorry MP :/
