Looks like I won't have time to judge until this evening (in about 5 hours). Last-minute entries will be accepted if I see them.

Quote from GetItWrong

A card with initials "IIW", such as "In Its Wake".

Here you go.

The plague was deadly to the first host, but quickly mutated into a beneficial symbiont. It was an early failure for Phyrexian researchers from which, unfortunately, they learned much.

For help in card creation/judging, I've uploaded a program you can type or paste text into that will check if any letters are missing.

(Fridays are kind of boring at work.)
