I like this wording. I think it needs "it could enchant" though.
It does not.
Ah, yeah, I referred to Auratouched Mage when I should have referred to Academy Researchers. I'd gladly take the same 1 point loss that TANE took for the same mistake in exchange for a judgement based on how the card actually works - which as far as I can tell, is perfectly.
Nobody ever said it didn't work.
Sovereigns of Lost Alara refers to an Aura "that could enchant that creature" so I didn't see any problem with including a similar clause on my card, due to any possible confusion it could cause without it. I was imagining a player putting a Genju of the Realm onto an opponent's creature, not expecting it to stick, but expecting it to deal damage to the targeted creature before hitting the graveyard.
As far as I can tell there's no real need for a distinction, other than that pulling from a public zone or from your library requires the "could enchant" text and pulling from the hand does not. I'm not balls deep into the comp rules like I used to be, so I can't tell you what the distinction is for, though it may have to do with hidden information.
Also, your imagined scenario is impossible, as it is an illegal game action. The aura will never enter the battlefield regardless of what you say on the card.
Thus the flavor text.
ok

The loss of 3.5 points to "setting up a delayed trigger that triggers the instant the ability resolves" seems excessive - especially since there is no delayed trigger because once the ability goes on the stack and isn't responded to, there can be no responding to it and indeed no actions at all can be made until it finishes resolving. Even if there were, I'd like to point out that it's alot easier to modify existing cards which already have the rules technicalities laid out for you than it is to iron out the technicalities of something completely unique. Some of the cards in the batch you got are clearly too strong, so of course they have more appeal to Johnny, Timmy, Spike and got rewarded thusly. Meanwhile the challenge called for something "not too strong but not too weak", yet the same cards received 2/2 for the challenge. I guess my question is, will it help me in the future to ignore the actual terms of a challenge in order to dazzle people with power and to brush up on my modify-an-existing-card skills?
Sincerely,
Frustrated in Virginia
P.S. - 6.5+9+2+3=/=19.5
Should have just gone with:
You may put an Aura card from your hand onto the battlefield attached to target creature. If you do, ~ deals damage to that creature equal to the Aura's converted mana cost.
You did miss the "you may" in your card, as well, so you actually should have lost points in polish. You also don't need to specify "that it could enchant." You cannot put an aura onto a permanent it can't enchant anyway, so stating it in the rules text is redundant.
I also suppose you know (and perhaps intended) that the card could be used to turn auras into creature removal.

Well the Pro Tour is next month......................
Anyway, I have completed my judgings, which can be found here. You can PM me if you have any questions or comments, but my internet access is not reliable these days, so I can't actually guarantee a timely response.

I do think that the one requirement; two bonus structure of the MCC is a defining characteristic, but as the guy who ran the film noir month, I have to say I enjoy when there is some flavor cohesion. The CCL is more flavor-driven as far as I know, and the CF games are... Well, we find a new angle every month.
I don't think we need to shift to more flavor-oriented MCCs, but they are a nice treat every so often.

edit: done
You can PM me if you have questions or whatnot (as I said, slapdash), but I am not really able to answer with any degree of swiftness.
Using my superpowers I'll edit the playerlist.
Also, don't forget that the challenges are optional.
