Winterspring:
You seem to have a problem with creatures... Oh, you changed your card.
You seem to have a problem with... counters? Planeswalkers maybe. This card is black. It would take a weird set for this to be anything remotely playable, though.
And yes, #punk has died. Or rather, it has transcended.
Scarbo:
You appear to dislike mana screw. That's fair. Compare to Abundance. I think this effect on a bear is too powerful. Could be wrong. Well, if it was actually just Abundance it would be. As is, if you select not to use the ability you could easily just draw a land anyway. So maybe it's ok. I see a lot of Elvish Spirit Guides in this card's future, though.
Ichorid:
Your problem is that you like Yu-Gi-Oh.
Ninja Caterpie:
I feel as though Desperado Ritual might be subject to abuse.
Cythare:
Your problem is... being bad at magic?
Wait, haha, this card is stupid. I guess you don't like alt-win cards, huh?
Arbies:
I feel like Mindbreak Trap addresses most of the issues that this card is trying to solve. Side to Side may solve the other one.
Figurative:
>wants to combat mana screw
>designs 3CMC card that requires two mana symbols of a particular color

Cythare 2.0
I hope this card is better than your last one.
Apparently you don't like Tarmogoyf.
Redkod:
This. Well, I've been making fun of people who didn't put their problem in their post, but your card... is obvious.
I think this is too ham-handed for what I want in a winner in this challenge, sorry.
AbrmelaAnegel:
If this said 0 and not 1 I would have liked this card. In practice you might as well just stick with Thalia effects though.
Cyhare 3.0:
Atoganalec:
Thanks for this submission.
SNL:
Oh, ho ho! Who did the two-mana version of this, Scarbo? Copy and paste that down here. Leyline of this effect seems strong to me. Limiting it to lands and creatures seems wise though.
ManyCookies:
This does seem strong. Not too strong, but 0 cost is not to be trifled with. Even Bone Saw required some investment, and that didn't even pump toughness. Ultimately you don't solve your own problem though, as this isn't really interesting.
niko:
Cythare covered this fairly well. IIWs are also required.
Ninja Caterpe:
I was with you until "originally printed," then I just zoned out.
Ink-Treader:
This is not the worst. It's effectively a super silence but with the alt-cost of 4 life, which is probably fair. Being a sorcery severely limits its effectiveness, of course. I think this card probably lives on the bench.
iphanx:
im 12 years old and what is this
CC:
I meant a problem with the game mechanics, not the sexy factor.
NC 32.0:
This card is secretly really mean. If combined with aggressive and repeatable LD and/or ramp, this could form the hard lock. I'm noting that if you get them down to 2 fewer lands than you, as long as you play a land every turn they are locked as well. How cruel. This is like a trojan horse: a real bastard move disguised as a gift.
ReCythare:
This is funny, since it's probably really bad in older formats, but actually quite powerful in standard. It's like a reverse Eidolon of the Great Revel.
Your problem isn't real, and I already judged everything up until this point last night anyway.
wavatars:
We discussed this elsewhere already. You did change the cost, so it's now a better card, but it doesn't really solve the problems you had.
Cythare again again:
Abzan v sultai is just mind-numbing. Obviously you produce a card that fits into only Jeskai, though.
Wait. I think this card makes the problem worse, not better. Hm.
Cythareeee:
>not submitting jeans
>mfw
Karn:
I feel like I have posted this card before. Good effort though on remembering that I like brushwaggs (hint to guys trying to join the Clan: This is the answer to one of the questions).
Ink-Threader:
This could say "Each player's range of influence is 0" and actually work in the comprehensive rules I believe. Multiplayer-only mechanic, yes, but still.
avatarz:
This made me laugh. I actually like it, too, since it can be used in a lot of situations. It stops your spells from fizzling or being countered, allows you to abuse Prowess, storm, and similar mechanics, and some third thing I forgot. I'm only really concerned about the Storm applications. However, this can already be done with Venser (admittedly for 4 mana, which is steep), and this still requires you to play a small man in your (ostensibly) combo deck. So maybe it's balanced.
Manycookes:
I'm not sure what problem this is solving. I guess you're trying to solve... the challenge? How meta.
I like the card, although Nantuko Shaman explored this space already. Once in MMA I suspended that guy and then got blown out the next turn by Pestermite. I was not pleased. Well, "blown out."
Icari:
Depose I do not like. For context, I don't like council's judgment much either. It's a hamfisted way to fix a bad mechanic (hexproof).
Bitter end: I'm actually mildly surprised that this doesn't exist yet. There are cards that do similar things, but a sorcery we don't have.
Ass: I like this one. Probably busted, but the stats reflect that.
G-money: See previous comment.
Wixten: See previous comment, then add "that last ability is bad."
The Cook:
I like this one! Dack's Duplicate is probably just better than this, but I like the design. Temp copy. Very tricky.
Redk:
You guys really hate mana screw, don't you? Like, really really. What about mana flood? Also why does this not just put the card on top of your library?
Koolkoal:
Ah, classic.
willows:
This should probably be on a grizzly bear. Seems like a very white hatebear ability.
Cothanes:
Red does maybe want to show some more of it's PASSIONATE side, though it's not really that appropriate for a card game about wizard battles. Wait, this is an artifact?
outback steakhouse:
I mean, ok
avatars:
Ah, here's the mana flood fixing card. I feel like Trade Routes did this better.
Cythare:
watch this for me
Ink-treader:
This is neat. Very narrow hate card, but powerful. I almost wish it said "each" rather than "target," as this card is so narrow that it could probably do with a power boost and not matter much. Like back to nature basically. Nice card.
Cringons:
Are you still watching?
tog:
What even is this? Eats a guy every turn until they're just DOB, then kills them for you? Ok.
WINNER:
Ok, we got actual good cards for a change. ManyCookies decided to ignore the prompt and just post cards that I would actually like, and he succeeded. However, I have to give the win to avatarz for Patcher Mage. He actually followed the challenge and the card tickles me in ways that aren't appropriate for a family-friendly internet message board.

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["good entries"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the entries involved in this challenge are not that.
