I would enjoy a critique, but won't be heartbroken if you don't give one. You can find my entries easily because everything is gold. This works except when Oculus is the judge.
Sapling's Burgeoning is very interesting. I like that it draws cards and gains life, but it still feels solidly green. This was one of the top contenders. Maybe add a heavier green requirement, and I'm not sure there's a great reason to make the reveal optional.
I have learned my lesson. I'd like to apologize to Chemtrails for judging and NecroWars based harassment because I have realized that real life often refuses to cooperate with our best intentions. If particular people still want critiques/ judging, I am perfectly willing to do those. I am still happy and grateful about my first win, and I feel that I exit this experience as a marginally wiser polar bear.
Yeah, I can probably expect Brofaux to report it sometime today.
Also, I'm aware that I judge faster (and with less included content) than most people, but it's been like an hour and a half, and I'm not sure if I should link Judge is Judge for amusement purposes or propose a "while he's judging, enjoy this interim challenge" challenge while we're waiting.
On the writing front: I seem to have reached the part of the boring introduction that's almost physically painful to write. I'm going to have to force myself to write this anyway, though.
Yeah, sorry about the judging thing. I got caught up in something and now this is taking way longer than I anticipated. You can start whatever you want to fill the void. Sorry again.

Does it? (I'm really asking, am I supposed to have read every card submitted before posting one?)
Anyways, it's the exact same idea, but your wording doesn't work. "Whenever" implies a triggered ability, which exists like a static ability until the triggering condition happens, then it is put into the stack. You don't see it in instant and sorceries except as a delayed ability for later (i.e. "Untap target creature. Whenever that creature blocks this turn...")
Since the targeted spell already had its targets chosen, that ability would do nothing. Unless the first spell is redirected after Eldritch Corruption resolves, I guess.
Thanks for the help. I'll change the text to your version exactly because, as you said, it's the exact same effect. If by some miracle I win, you should get the win since I'm using your correct wording, but I just want to have my card accurate and working. I'm not really sure how duplicate cards are supposed to be treated, I've just seen people respond with puzzled-looking emoticons or snarky comments.
Eldritch CorruptionB
Instant (U)
Whenever target spell targets a creature, destroy that creature. "I tried to speak the words of healing, but something wrested control of my voice away from me. The unfamiliar chants that leaped from my tongue doomed all that I had fought to save."

He's not Brofaux. He's a friend of mine from the real world, and I have drawn him into Club Flamingo like a sneaky drug dealer from a 1990s PSA. He will be addicted shortly. You can totally trust what I'm saying because I am definitely not Brofaux either.
