Thought of the Month: I gave up from trying to require the 'i' on my name: SolesticIo
Solesticio--17/20-- A mythic card but still a bit too powerful with the shroud ability. Its toughness does make it prone to Firespout style burns. Decent overall.
serotonin-- 20/20-- KABOOM! Excellent card. Power is mythic while still being balanced enough to be printable in a set. Great flavor.
1T4-- 18/20-- A good mythic powered card but the second ability is a bit overpowered even for being mythic.
GiftsTrix-- 19/20-- Excellent planes walker with very powerful worldly effects. Good in multiplayer as well.
Alabran-- 20/20-- WOW! Just.....wow! Great card. Great balance. Great flavor. 'Nuff said.
WUPBRGspellsPlanarChaos-- No show blacker_lotus (probation)--no show MagicProfessor28-- No show Dranith-- no show
1. Solesticio
The abilities are ok, the colors are ok, the cost is ok, but I just don’t like the card… don’t know why… maybe is a little overpowered for the shroud effect, but it still gives HM
2. serotonin: Comparing this with Austere Command. this only gives you one choice, but the effect is only in one way and also has an Armageddon effect choice, I think is a very good. I like that all the cost is colored White mana, that really means purity. I think we have a winner
3. 1T4: I like both cards, even if the first could be a little overpowered, and the second one, being Mythic I think should be Instant. Maybe second place
4. GiftsTrix: Interesting card, Balance is always good, hummm i think this will be the second after all
5. Alabran: Good card idea, but, the cost should be written XX1WB not 1WBXX. Black has not enchantment removal, it must be blue instead of black, due to changing types is a blue ability
Catarax: I love the whole card, the possibility of a lot of artifgact/land destruction is very nice, I just would like it to have a bigger body
L0ng5h0t: I like the card but i'll love it if it were mono red and only have the first two options, also I like the flavor, maybe it should cost a little less being Mythic
Kami_of_Randomness: I like the ability, it is not only good against artifacts, it does very well against creatures, if it would be also players I would love it. I think should cost 2 less
T3 of my team:
1.- Catarax
2.- L0ng5h0t
3.- Kami_of_Randomness
Thanks for the critiques, I'll try to actually do one this time, but please give me at least till Sunday because I'll be occupied all of Saturday with marching band.
In regards to whether or not I could drop an x and make it a sorcery, I actually considered it, but then decided that it would be far too strong compared to Violent Ultimatum, which supposedly is quite strong (though I don't personally see it.) As it is, you're destroying 2 permanents and all enchantments at the same cost as the ultimatum, so I felt it was fair to keep it there (rather than 4 permanents and all enchantments, at an easier cost,) and make it instant instead.
Sorry everyone school's been hell this month so I'm dropping out, maybe in a month or two i'll give it another go

To him,
Nothing has worth
Unless it belongs
To someone else.
It is not the lust for wealth
That drives him
Simply the hunter's thrill,
And the moment
Of acquisition.
Nothing is truly your own.
It is his –
Whether you know it or not.

That's true. Remember though that you get a bonus point if you crit half of the submitted cards (they don't have to be from your team) and another bonus point if you crit all of the cards.

-From where exactly does this 'artifact' come from, because that basically defines how broken this card is in my head, because something is telling me that I could basically loop some mana generation and burn the entire thing to the ground, especially considering that I could also loop cheap creatures for sacrifice fodder, come into play effects, etc.
-I usually won't do this, but if you want to explain where the card comes from go for it, and I may change my mind
Well I completly forgot to write that... it should be

Why should i be bound by rules when I can see so far beyond them?
Yay!!! Mirrodin is back!!! it will be a great year
I apologize about how I write (I mean my grammar and orthography)
*rereads dictionary*
Oops, sorry. I was thinking of the more general usage of the word, meaning anti religious. Let me fix that, because i think that puts you and Bull on the same level.
Mindwrencher: Turning permanents into enchantments is a whiteeffect. Destroying any permanent is a whiteblackeffect. Destroying all enchantments is a whiteeffect. Based on Tempest of Light and Soul Sculptor, I could technically make this card mono-white, however, the functionality though not directly stated is destroying any permanent, and all enchantments. (Think n Vindicates + Tempest of Light.) It is therefore perfectly suitable in WB.
I'll get the ratings in tomorrow, I just got back from marching band and I'm beat.
Autumn Willow (probation)-No Show/Boot Ace-No Show
Lorgalis 3.5/4- Red doesn’t get flyers this efficient that aren’t dragons. Having a 3/3 flying hasted weenie is powerful enough. Giving it the ability to tutor itself to grandeur and kill all enchantments I bonkers. Legendary is a nice balancing effect but it still seems almost ‘too good’… minor deduction based upon gut. 4/4-Works 5/5-I like it. 12.5/13
L0ng 2/4- As is you have a 6 cc sorcery that’s incredibly hard to cast and almost as narrow. It’s powerful, yes going up against enough artifacts this can easily, easily, win you the game. But unless this is extended shatterstorm is better. Oh, and this card is probably unplayable in non-mirroden limited. 4/4-Works. 4/5-The flavor is okay…it just doesn’t sound very serra-y. 10/13
Mindwrencher 3/4-It’s a 1/1 creature with a decent effect. Kinda playable? Make it a mythic and legendary….way underpowered in non-abuse this decks. 0/4-This card doesn’t work. What zone are you putting the artifact into play from? 4/5- It’s okay, but again not very serra-y 7/13
Catarax 2.5/4-This card is infinity easer to cast than Avalance Riders and a little bit worse. The great thing about riders is it’s splashable, and you can cast as many as you want. Due to the legendary rule this car doesn’t really fulfill that. And unless the set is specifically monocolored you’ll probably never trigger the card. 4/4-works 4/5-Good but not serra-y
Blackbull 4/4- a 4/4 flyer for enemy colored 5 is a steep price. Being able to destroy every artifact that hits the board is sick though. Really narrow so it’s okay balance wise. 4/4-Works 4/5-While this f/t really is serra-y it’s not WR. It’s very BR instead. 12/13
Silkenfist 4/4-Perfectly balanced. 4/4-Nice 5/5-The simple eloquence and gorgeous flavor text bring a tear to my eye. If there was ever a card that was beyond 5/5 for flavor this is it. O-M-G. 13/13
FSI 2/4-I want something more for 6 mana. A 5/9 non-evasive creature that can make tokens in certain situations doesn’t really appeal to me. Definitly not a mythic effect. 3.75/4: Missing the comma and space in activated ability. Minor deduction. 4.5/5- I guess it’s serra-y. It talks abut unnatural acts but I don’t really think that the creation of the plane was unnatural…but that’s just personal opinion so minor deduction. 10.25/13
Kami of Randomness 3.5/4: With a beat-stick like this I would want it to be efficient, but seeing as it’s not legendary and the narrow effect (destroying artifacts) gives you crazy results I’d say it’s fairly balanced, a tad on the underpowered side though. 4/4: Works 3/5-I have no idea why this card would be on serra’s plane. She simply wouldn’t have an artifact eating dragon on a plane she created and protected with artifacts. The flavor is nice in and of itself, it just doesn’t fit the setting. 10.5/3
sorry for the small critics, but I don't have really much time, as you can see by the quality of my card
Catarax: It doesn't feel neither legendary nor mythic. I like the concept, but 4 red for a greater avalanche raiders seems boring.
Long5h0t: At first glance it seems overpowered, but the cost evens it well. Just a side note, it would be cleaner and more elegant to regenerate any creature. It would be restricted anyway cause artifacts destroyed this way can't be regenerated. Silkenfist: This doesn't destroy directly arttifacts, but it's very green and inovating. also, it doesn't feel mythic to me.
BlackBull: I don't know why have you always to mix colors that are not in the challenge this is too good. a new Rack and Ruin, that reads "kicker 1W: put a 4/4 flyer with extra." it's too much for a 5 mana 4/4 flyer, imo.
Lorgalis: I haven't much to say here. Real good card. well designed and balanced.
FruiouslySleepingIdea: Another bomb. 5/9(NINE), for 6 mana is really good. And it's ability is just insane. remove a colossus, get one for you. remove is too good for just 1G, and making a token is the cherry on the top.
Autumn Willow: ........
MindWrencher: I like it, it's an innovating ability. But what artifact and from where? :s That could make some nice combos with goblin welder, though. Ace: ..... Kami of Randomness: Most of the times this would be just a hasty dragon, with a earthquake effect attached to it. The earthquake ability is really strong on it. :s

Thought of the Month: I gave up from trying to require the 'i' on my name: SolesticIo
Seratonin - Feroz's Exoneration
This card would be okay even without the when can you play it restriction. This also doesn't feel like enchantment destruction, as the its global removal by permanent types, and enchantments is the one option I don't really see being useful remotely often.
5/10
1T4 - Strengthening Adversities
Mass artifact bounce/ enchantment kill with different benifits. This doesn't seem like a very cohesive spell. However, I'd like to see this card printed, because it seems there is a lot of combo potential.
6/10
Gifts Trix - Zeno Locke
I like this plainswalker, again the enchantment removal doesn't seem to be remotely the main feature. However the 3 abilities are wonderful in how they hang together by a theme.
8/10
Alabran - Culling of the False.
Wow, this card is crazy. Its too powerful, slightly mistemplated, and it really seems how the mechanics work. It seems that this is the round for people shoehorning into requirements, and yours is the worst.
4/10
Solistico -Arres the Enchant Breaker
Okay, we have a permanent that can dodge any non-mass removal and taps for a vindicate each turn. Not even remotely balanced. Wouldn't be balanced even without the shroud.
2/10
@Silkenfist: The idea was after Serra left because of Feroz's supposedly fatal accident, and after barely surviving for an abritrary long time set, became obbessed with the concept of purity, and began hunting Serra's new Realm. So there we go. Think of him as the New Feroz.
I probably won't have time to post the next round up by midnight tomorrow so I'm throwing it up early. Don't let that stop you from putting up critiques.
Unfortunately this means that I'll have the scores tallied a bit late. It also means you get a head start on card design though
