Check Near the End of the Thread for the Current Challenge
Remember: Use IIWs for all challenges
Quote from Little_Money
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").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.
Use any criteria you want for the judging! It's up to you (and sometimes me)! If you can't be bothered, use the below rubric.
Card Balance /10: Is the card printable?
Card Innovation /10: Is it new and exciting?
Card Extras /5: Flavor, punctuation, whatever.
Chemtrails — 139 wins
AsianInvasion — 85
Oculus — 72
Sir Aureus — 64
avatarz — 55
Cythare — 52
PanchoPonceN — 47
admirableadmiral – 41
Megiddo — 41
k-rad — 40

this is how I imagine BNG design went. Creative liberties taken.

Ethan Fleischer walked over to Mark Rosewater's desk. With worry in his voice, he said,
"Hey Mark, have you seen Ken anywhere?"
Mark looked up from his various social media feeds and looked at Ethan.
"Why?" said Mark, "Is it something I can help you with?"
"Well, no..." Ethan hesitated, then took in a sharp breath and continued. "We haven't been able to find him for about three weeks now. He disappeared. He keeps deleting anything we try to put in the set file, but he's not as his desk and we can't get ahold of him in any way to discuss changes."
"Hmmm..." Mark paused to stroke his ego. "Yes, this happened in Worldwake design. I thought we had knocked it out of him by now, but I guess old habits die hard. Try the conference room that's "under renovation" down the hall. You know the one. He may have hid himself in there. Oh, and bring a notepad."
Mark turned back to his twitter feed and Ethan was left standing there confused. He had noticed that there was a conference room that was always "Under Renovation." Could Ken really have shut himself in there?
Ethan went back to his desk to grab a notepad, per Mark's suggestion. On the way to the conference room he grabbed Billy Moreno, luring him with the suggestion that he may have found Ken. He explained the situation along the way.
The room wasn't far from the pit, all things considered. Down a side hallway, yes, but it bothered Ethan that Ken might have literally been a stone's throw away from them this whole time.
He knocked on the door.
"Hey Ken? It's Ethan," he said, "We wanted to talk to you about BNG. Are you in there?"
There was no answer. Billy and Ethan looked nervously at one another.
"Should we just... open the door?" asked Billy.
"I guess we have no other choice." replied Ethan.
Ethan placed his hand gingerly on the doorknob. After one last glance at Billy's beard, he turned it. The door swung open.
"A CREATURE THAT CAN GAIN CONTROL OF SPELLS!" boomed an unfamiliar voice.
Ethan and Billy were shocked. Sitting at the center of the room completely naked was Ken Nagle. He was bathed in the glow of his work-issued laptop.
"A SPELL THAT TURNS A CREATURE INTO A GOLD COUNTER!" he was shouting at irregular intervals, but otherwise completely silent.
"H... hello? Ken?" Ethan tried to communicate, but it was to no avail.
"A WUBRG BESTOW CARD!" Ken was shouting at a fever pitch.
Billy was the first to break out of the trance they were held in.
"Ethan," he said, "I think maybe we should be writing these down like Mark said?"
"VANILLA BESTOW CARDS!" He began shouting card ideas faster and faster.
Ethan quickly pulled out a pen and started writing down what they had heard and then what Ken was saying. Ken went on for a full ten minutes. After Ethan wrote down "a cycle of CCC rares that mimics the Careful Consideration cycle," Ken stopped.
Ethan looked up, and then jumped back in shock. Ken's face had turned crimson red, and his neck had swollen up like a bullfrog's. He could barely breathe, let alone talk. Billy took a step forward.
"Ken? Are you ok?" he reached his hand out. All of a sudden, Ken exhaled, knocking Billy to the ground. Ken's neck deflated to its normal size and he resumed talking as if nothing had happened.
"AND NOTHING ELSE NEW!"
Ken stared Ethan dead in the eyes after making this proclamation. He then closed his eyes and collapsed to the side, exhausted from letting out weeks worth of design ideas all at once.
Ethan helped Billy to his feet. The two looked at Ken, and then each other, silently asking whether they should do something about Ken, but coming to the conclusion that it would be best to just let him be.
They exited the conference room and closed the door behind them. Ethan showed Billy the notepad, which was covered in scribbled design ideas.
"I'm not sure we'll get a full set out of this," said Ethan, "but Ken said this was all we are allowed to use."
"What do we do?" asked Billy.
"Well, I guess we can always just shove a bunch of reprints and functional reprints in?" replied Ethan.
"Sure, that makes sense," said Billy as the two started walking back to the Pit. "You know, I wonder if this is how we ended up with Jace, the Mind Sculptor."
"I'd rather not think about it any more than I have to." -
