Dudes... it's 3 critiques per person... Other CCLs you have to judge 8 people in average. If you have time to make a post saying how much a bother it is, invest a single minute more and do the critiques.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.
Keltainen: Your card really needed to be white, which is both king of toughness boosting and blocking more than one creature. There's no reason for it to be blue besides being a sphinx. Also, the requirement of non basic lands feels kind of random and only makes a bit of sense in the red card.
Savia: The card is good but doesn't feel a perfect mirror of the red card: The red card puts an equipment in the grave as a cost for its true ability, deal damage, while your card focuses on interacting with the equipment. I'd have liked to see a "Shieldhurler" that sacrificed an equipment to prevent damage and/or gain life.
Polendino: Wow what are the chances that someone else in the same group made a sphinx with abilities that would be more at home in a white card? At least this one is a slightly better fit.

Poor show this round, guys.

I guess I like these guys okay, but they don’t feel like a balanced mirrored pair, because Compassionate Colossus is so much stronger than Belligerent Behemoth. Sacrificing your weenies isn’t always going to be worse than getting new weenies from the yard (esp. since that means you need to have your yard filled with dudes) but it’s often quite good.
You forget that is damage what wins a game and also serves as repeatable removal. Moreover, red's ability can benefit from tokens, while white's don't. I think that makes both abilities stand on equal ground in terms of power.

In case Mahou Sensei-sama can't appear before the deadline, here's our other card:
Belligerent Behemoth1RR
Creature - Giant (R)
First Strike
Whenever Belligerent Behemoth attacks, you may sacrifice a creature with power 1 or less. If you do, Belligerent Behemoth deals 1 damage to target creature or player.
3/2 Segovian natives realize that bigger is only better when it is on your side.

Here's one half of MagicProfessor and me submissions:
Compassionate Colossus 1WW
Creature - Giant (R)
First Strike
Whenever Compassionate Colossus attacks, you may return target creature card with power 1 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. If you do, you gain 1 life.
2/3 When it comes to keeping safe in Segovia, bigger is better.
