Well in case you are still looking, or just to get feedback either way:
I came up with this recently and it seems to me it would be a great fit for the contest
I was very tempted to only give hasters first strike, but then doing both and being Boros seemed to be a little more flavourful and colorpie friendly, and I couldn't resist the symmetry...
Hey guys thanks for your interest and help
Please vote for one of the designs and decide who is the winner of my design contest this year!
Don't hesitate to follow me on bullzzai.com or twitter @bullzzai_blog
I might as well plug my android app MTG20 LifeCounter as well while I'm at it. I'm currently working with a team of three to update it to something even more gorgeous.
The participants are:
Binding Ritual
1WB Enchantment
When Binding Ritual enters the battlefield, exile target creature until Binding Ritual leaves play; its controller loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
When Binding Ritual leaves play, target opponent gains 2 life and you lose 2 life.
VERSUS
Lord of Lambholt
1BB Creature - Human Advisor
Other humans creatures you control get +1/+1.
At the beginning of each upkeep, if a human creature you controlled died last turn, transform Lord of Lambholt
2/2
Veil of the Night
Creature - Vampire
Flying
Other vampire creatures you control get +1/+1 and gain lifelink and deathtouch.
Whenever Veil of the Night deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on Veil of the Night.
3/3
So far IAMACasualRedditor is on top of the predictions since he had both semi finals right. I'll pitch in some steam games for the winner!
WARNING: I spotted a type in Binding Ritual. It drains your opponent for 2 when etb then drains the life back to them if the enchant dies.
This is the second round for the design contest I'm organizing for the first year anniversary of my blog bullzzai .com
Please vote for two of the designs, in the polls or in the comments, and two will go to finals!

Thanks to redditor Amane_VIII for the beautiful re-templating that I'm using here.
Piar, I think I agree with you. What's left though, is that I would have to make the paragon blink anything but soldier, witch is also a little funny, when you look at it next to the angel, since they specifically restrict different things. Oh well.
Now here are the results!
Forges of Insanity wins with 53%
Damion Colebane wins with 53%
Binding Ritual wins with 53%
Lord of Lambholt with with 61%
NOBODY could predict the exact result, but so far the best predictions (3) are:
Me
GigaGuess from Magic Salvation
Umbrall from Reddit
Aweq from Reddit
StealthNL from Reddit
Thanks a lot again, and see you for the next round
Thanks for the kind word and comments!
1) Is it? I thought this might be fairly equivalent to the temples, and supposedly fateseal is worse than scry? Maybe not. If that's the case I guess I could try fateseal 2.
2) Paragon was very much my attempt to access the cloudshift effect for cheaper, so I understand it looks less creative, though I'm afraid that's just what it needed to be based on the restrictions imposed to it... I needed to make it an angel so that it doesn't combo horribly with its big sister. Maybe it could be a 2/1 (first strike?) for 2W.
3) I didn't think for long enough for Damion, I just figured two less blockers or two mini lightning helix were kinda ok. I agree it's not the most compelling.
4) I got that a lot. To be honest I just thought "let's make a Rathi Dragon with monstruous". I realized since then dragons have come a long way though, I think to be popular this one would at least need to get haste or some kinda of protection or direct damage.
5) Thanks! I like this idea and I did miss Intimidate. I really like the idea of hosing other awesome creatures by taking trample, deathtouch, first strike or even hexproof from them. Might be a tad be overpowered even.
6) I completely missed that, you're right. Guess that kinda breaks it. Maybe I'll pretend it's a card from Gatecrash or Dragon's Maze
7) Yep agreed. I mentioned that on reddit, I guess I was trying to contain the super strong ability. Maybe make it use black mana would get it back in flavor a bit, though it would still be weird.
8) That's a fair point, though it was in sync of Mayor of Avabruck that I copied. Someone mentioned that anthem for humans in black is wrong, they are pretty much right as well. I like transforming people into vampires, though not transforming because you could transform a whole bunch of human werewolves lol.
Thanks again for the feedback, those are all pretty good points
Hey friends! I'm running a "contest" of my best designs for one year anniversary of my blog bullzzai.com.
Would you be kind enough to give me some feedback and votes? I'm organizing this and couple more fun stuffs to celebrate, I already have a bunch of votes from reddit so I'm pretty excited
Mys vote would be: 2, 3, 6 and 8 for quarterfinals
I'll be putting up the next rounds and probably offer an indie title or two from my leftover Steam to the people who voted right the most until the final winner!
You can use the poll, but if you are in for the prize, you probably don't want to, as I'm guessing it's anonymous.

Figured I would add my entry here, I went for something nice and simple.
P.S
Thanks all for your participation
