There is only one flamingo, that is Megiddo
it's Megiddo's club we just post in it.
Welcome to Club Flamingo! If you aren't familiar with the rules for gentlemen's clubs, open the spoiler right here. If you've posted in "the Winner is Judge" before, you'll be fine.
1. Submit an entry that fits the current criteria along with a suggestion for the next challenge (an "IIW").
2. If you win, you are the judge for the next round.
3. If you're the judge, evaluate all of the entries and choose the best one.
But isn't this Club Flamingo? Yes. This automatically makes it classier than basically every other thread on here. But this thread isn't made just for me to dress up like a flamingo. In the next spoiler you will find the special rules for this club.2. If you win, you are the judge for the next round.
3. If you're the judge, evaluate all of the entries and choose the best one.
1. I will facilitate proceedings by sending out PMs and things when needed.
2. If you are the judge and fail to judge in a reasonable time frame, I will judge for you, using whatever criteria I feel like. Don't subject your fellow posters to this. Have a heart.
3. If you do not post an "if I win" challenge, you cannot win.
4. If you DO post a challenge and it's dumb and/or nobody enters, I will take over with a new challenge. You may still judge this challenge if you want, but I'll do it otherwise. If you choose not to judge, see rule #5.
5. This isn't intended to be Club "Megiddo Does All of the Work." Please try not to abandon things, though I understand that real life is more important than the internet. It really shouldn't be, though.
6. As detailed here, double posting and certain spammy posts are not allowed. Please review that link before posting.

"I am thou, and thou art I"
University in a new town. It's a little nerve-racking - you know nobody and you are nobody. It's boring, since it's a little country town.
Well, so you thought. Things are little different now that you and your room-mates are being chased across the darkness of the main street at 12AM by... something. In the dim light of broken streetlights, you can barely make out a shape, but it certainly isn't human. Heart pounding against your chest, feet pounding against pavement, until one of your friends trips over. A writhing mass of dark shapes bursts from the shadows and begins to engulf the screaming student.
Suddenly, you feel something stir up within you, like "fight or flight" mechanisms taking a physical form. You hear...
"I am thou, and thou art I. From the sea of your soul, I arise..."
"Your Persona."
Challenge: Choose a mythological being (hero, god, monster, whatever) and design a legendary creature card based on that being. The card must have a converted mana cost of 4 or less. I'd advise not to design a creature at their full power. Don't forget to mention what you're basing your card off.

Couple of notes about my judging: I didn't like a card if it was awful without being in the right colours (ie. basically a two colour card) or if it made no sense to be in the first colour.
Can you spell "kludge"? Because this is both Kludge and Syndic of Tithes. I mean, I love dumb puns as much as the next guy, but it tithe ain't even grisly.Serious mana costs going from WW straight to BB - gonna feel bad a lot of the time even if it's balanced. Interesting mirror of the abilities.
...why is this blue? I'm not seeing the flavour in it besides "it's a wizard". It does nothing as a mono blue card (it's downright awful) and isn't even really good until you have all three colours. Power level seems a little strange; area pump isn't quite on the same level as area weakening but they're costed the same regardless.
>see azorius ogre
>mfw still red
Otherwise it's a pretty good card; very effective removal, but only can fit in a specific three colour deck.
For some reason, "tap target creature" just seems a little weaker than the other abilities... At 1GG, that's gonna cause some feelbads to cast and activate what you need. Otherwise, it's an interesting battlemage for sure.
#ohbaby. That's is serious Vorthos hitting right there. Potentially a lot of power on the entwine for only U (but I guess entwine was always fairly cheap). Going from Pyroclasm to Mind Control (in a very Grixis way) for U is really cool. Only problem is that the challenge was "non-gold" cards... This would've won if it was mono black (with -X/-X instead of damage).
Clever, simple Claustrophobia variant. Maybe a little weak, but I've never been good at rating difficulty to cast.
SURRAAAAAK: Interesting Careful Study variant. The mechanics aren't mixed very well; this one could do better just with the Volver format (R: Copy; [/mana]G[/mana]: Draw)
ZURGOOOO: I like this one a bit more, although it's quite pushed. It's a fair bit stronger than Warleader's Helix since it can be cast in two colours with the potential to be an overloaded Mizzium Mortars. A lot of power with the flexibility.
First strike and deathtouch are not the most fun abilities to put on a card... especially when you can cast it as a 2GWU 4/4 with first strike and deathtouch? Even without the white option, 2GU for a 2/2 deathtouch isn't much better. In general, I'd advise not to put tertiary abilities (such as deathtouch in green or flying in red)on hybrid cards.Boy this is clunky. Why is this mono-blue? None of these abilities spell out "seeker of knowledge", more like "one who has power". This would be better as a Cromat. The BR abilities are very powerful, while W (and to a lesser extent, G) are a fair bit weaker.
Weird, a creature that gets smaller as it levels up. That's gotta feel backwards as heck. Card itself is pretty good; efficient body that turns into a huge removal machine if you let it go for too long. I like the knobs you can tweak when playing it.
Hmm, this is nice. The non-useless Amulet of Vigor body ties in nicely to the chill of cold ability. On a bear, though, I think you might want to increase the cost of the active. It's very efficient at the moment, regardless of what you hit, and it's extremely potent and squashing your opponent if they get a little mana/colour screwed. Rishadan Port is already no fun; two turns of lockdown make it awful.Hey, you already entered, Cheatyface! This is quite an interesting card, but I feel like it's a huge beating if it doesn't get removed immediately. Untapping with it is really good value; Tidings is already 6 mana. Maybe increase the cost of activation so you can't just freely activate it after untapping?
This guy gets big pretty quick; 3 mana 2/4 is some Courser of Kruphix level stuff and it holds defensively even better. Otherwise it's a nice card, but sorta sad that it loses the Rakdos Charm ability as it levels.
