What I like about the Vampiric Hare is that lands don't have to also be creatures to get the benefit of being deathtouching and lifelinking. It counteracts the pain from pain-lands and allows something like Keldon Necropolis to take down Dragons. I can imagine that card having some fun art as well.
Feroz's Ban would allow both black and white mana be paid for Lifeforce Mage, of course.
I don't know what you guys are talking about, you might want to take another look at the winners.
(Sorry Emocakes, had to reconsider. Blame riddle and megiddo)
Look, brofaux, sorry to do this, but when I judge, I judge all cards as written. You can't go assuming that bloody meant "at end of turn." I would strip him of winner as well.
IK's card has all SORTS of minor templating issues.
Look, not to be rude, but you should just give this contest to whoever got fourth place.
I move for a vote of no confidence in brofaux.

Um, how about Brofaux stick with his original choice? I don't see why after he's judged other people should be able to change his mind. Regret your choice, sure, but stick with it what the hell.

My inspiration was basically taking Loam Lion (white with benefits from green) and making him... cooler, the Green is where you get the helping beasts aspect.

Okay then. Looking back mine is a bit broken. In this case "a bit" is being used as a synonym for VERY. But I'm fairly proud that I made a card that broken, didn't even realize, then almost won.
I might just add a WiJ Hall of Shame spoiler to my sig now :p.

Primeval Predator :symg::symur:
Creature- Elemental Beast {U}
Whenever Primeval Predator would be the target of a non-copy spell or ability with a single target, copy it. You may choose a new target for the copy.
2/3
Nice flavor here, fits my conception of that color combo perfectly - animals with elemental powers.
Now as for the card, it seems a bit too efficient to me. First off, there are only ten creatures that are 2/3s for 2 CMC: http://magiccards.info/query?q=pow%3D2+tou%3D3+cmc%3D2&v=card&s=cname
Most of them have drawbacks. However, I would say a 2/3 for 2 CMC is fine for today's metagame, but realize it is already on the top of the curve. Now add it's ability, and it's too good for 2 CMC. You could play this turn two then put a giant growth on it turn three, copy giant growth, and attack with a 8/9... turn three. Many other possible combinations as well. This would be great at 3 CMC.
85 B
Now as for the judgings, look guys, I had simply gone through it as I always do, reading each card and writing down my thoughts of it. I generally go through possible scenarios involving the cards as I make my judgings, sometimes I rush and I don't do that.
Emocakes card, I really liked it and what it could do, so I had ignored it's cost completely, and I didn't think of different scenarios where it could be used, I just liked it for the concept and mechanics and my judgings was only based on that.
Upon notification of my error, I reconsidered the card and realized it's heavy brokenness, went back and amended it.
Sure I can change my judgings, sure I can revoke who I give the winner status too, the same can happen in any highly organized event. No challenge was posted at the time, so no problems.
@Bloodyspasm - Must it be of mythological creation? Can we take an object from a current day fantasy, such as Lord of the Rings?

Ariadne's Thread1W
Legendary Artifact - Equipment (R)
Equip 1W
Equipped creature has "1W: This creature deals 2 damage to each creature blocking it. Remove this creature from combat."
Bonus-track:
TheseusWW
Legendary Creature - Human Soldier (R)
Lifelink, first strike
As long as you control a creature named Ariadne, Theseus gets +2/+2.

Cretan Minotaur3RG
Legendary Creature - Minotaur (R)

Cretan Minotaur blocks each turn if able.

Point is that Theseus can defeat Minotaur and stay alive only with help of both Ariadne and her Thread.
Equipped creature gains deathtouch, first strike, and piercing (if a permanent blocks, is blocked by, or is targeted by this creature, it loses indestructible and shroud until end of turn).

Multicolored millcards in something other than dimir.
Pashupatastra, Might of Shiva3WWW
Enchantment - Aura {M}
~is indestructible
~May only be played on white legendary creatures.
Enchanted creature becomes a planeswalker with 6 loyalty counters on it, and has the following abilities:
+2: Destroy Target Planeswalker or legendary creature
-X: Redeem a creature from any graveyard with converted mana cost of X
(When a creature is redeemed, return it to play under your control. If it is not a white creature, it becomes white, ignoring its previous colors.)
-10: Destroy all lands and creatures in play
I must strive to uphold the dharma, and cast out all those who might try to defer me from the path
" The Pashupatastra is the irresistible and most destructive personal weapon of Shiva discharged by the mind, the eyes, words, or a bow. Never to be used against lesser enemies or by lesser warriors, the Pashupata is capable of destroying creation and vanquishing all beings"
"it can be used only to uphold Dharma"
Dharma: "In the context of Hinduism, it means one's righteous duty, and a Hindus's dharma is affected by the person's age, class, occupation, and gender. In modern Indian Languages it can be equivalent simply to religion, depending on context. The word dharma translates as that which upholds or supports, and is generally translated into English as law."
Explanation of Mana cost and other game related ideas:
- Can only be cast on White creatures in favor of the law/justice aspect
- Can only be cast on Legendary creatures as it cannot be "Used by lesser
warriors.
- Higher mana cost to kind of counter the fact that it has so many loyalty counters.
-It is an aura instead of an artifact as it can be cast through a number of different mediums (Mind/eyes/words/bow)
-It is white as that is the color that strives for morality/justice/all that good stuff.
Explaining the Planeswalker abilities/amount of counters:
-Why 6 counters? It's abilities cant be used much, so this kind of speeds it up to get to 10 just that much faster.
+2, Its only a two and not one because as it can only target 2 very limited things, it won't be using the ability a lot.
-X, Admittedly, more of a filler ability. But can help finish the game if used after the final ability.
-10, This will be a very late game ability, and once used *should* completely decimate the playing field. It costs so much as it is basically taking *** and Armageddon and making one ability. the two cards have a CMC of 9, upped it by one as they are coming together.
In the end, defending against any potential arguments that it is undercosted, when I look at this card, I think it has a very niche appeal, and would probably only see good play in an EDH format
Why Indian Mythology? Because over 50% of the entrances are going to be "White/Caucasian" mythology, figured I'd spice it up a little bit. Get it? Spice? and it's Indian? haha.... oh me....

Hermes' Talaria3

Whenever equipped creature becomes the target of a spell or ability, you may unattach Hermes' Talaria from it. If you do, exile equipped creature, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control.

'Urim and Thummim' is the name Joseph Smith gave the magical glasses he used to translate the Book of Mormon.
