It's been over a week, any word on judgment?

[Tom the Mime]

Wrote up some of it but then I lost it when the browser crashes. Busy over the weekend but I'll try to find a bit of time but it should be up by Monday at the latest.

A word of advice - if you're writing a post and you can't just finish it in one sitting, keep it in a separate text file.

If you are using Firefox I would recommend the Textarea Cache add-on

Just gonna give a quick judging so we can do next round

Honorable mentions

Bucky - Messenger Kami
This seems fair and is a cool idea, however this card can't be your commander

DrGunsforhands - Mimimu, the Spore-swarm
A powerful but limited effect, I especially like how this constricts deck building with lands but I don't think you can build feasable decks with 20(5*4) nonlands. I understand there are cards you can run more than 4 of but if thats your intention then I think it over constricts deck building.

Winner Mythmonster2
I think this card would make a fun toolbox commander gj

The challenge doesn't require it to be! It only required that the card can "go in the command zone", which Enshrine directly does.

It isn't Legendary, so its inability to be your commander is no more relevant to the challenge than a Dungeon's inability to be your commander.

[Quiddle]

oops saw the matters how well of a commander it would be missed the if its a legendary creature part

Someone needs to make a new challenge.

[mythmonster2]

I can go ahead and make a new challenge: Create a card with mechanics from two different sets! These can be keyword actions, keyword abilities, or ability words.

While Angelic Preserver is an aura it has Totem armor and has "if this aura would be destroyed instead unattach if from a creature it enchants".

This is always an enchantment, which breaks the totem armor ability. I would suggest changing "enchantment" to "aura".

Apologies, a family emergency has come up, so I cannot do detailed judging, but I will give it to ben-zayb with Lazotep Reconnoiters.

[ben-zayb]

Thanks. For this week's challenge: Design a card inspired by a non-CCG card.

Info on the card/s you're referencing would also be highly appreciated.

Pinball Wizard 2U
Creature - Human Wizard R
When Pinball Wizard enters the battlefield search your library for an artifact card with mana value of 1, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. If such artifact was a non-creature artifact you may exchange control of target non-creature artifact you control and target non-creature artifact an opponent controls. Then that opponent may return an artifact they control to its owner's hand, if they do they may exile Pinball Wizard and return it to the battlefield under their control.
You got to be able to keep as many balls in play as you can
