Here is a list of games. They're currently all mine. However, one of them could be yours. All you need to do is excite me, more than the rest. These contests will revolve around designs on topics I find challenging, with the requirement that you design a number of cards to prove me otherwise. The winner of the contest can claim a game from my steam inventory. The contest will last for at least 5 days. CriteriaCreate a keyword, and three cards to showcase it. More Details
Show
- I will comment every desing, but I will assign no points.
- The price of the games have no impact. You choose one.
- I will not accept game requests.
- In the unlikely event that none of the submissions are of a high enough standard, there will be no winner.
- As a requirement to transfer the prize, you need to be on my friend list. You are free to remove me afterwards.
- If you wish to forward the game to a friend, inform me about it. Transportation of the game without notification will result in disqualification from further contests.
- I will only accept forwarding to accounts that are on your friendlist as the contest ends.
- Should you have any problems with any of these rules, know that I do not care in the slightest.

KEYWORD: Trumple (If this creature would assign enough damage to its blockers to destroy them, you may have it assign the rest of its damage to defending player or planeswalker.)
Defiant Yelf 
Creature - Yelf
Trumple
1/1
Quargothian Swine 
Creature - Boar
Trumple
3/3
Ballin' Lightning 
Creature - Elemental
Trumple, haste
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Ballin' Lightning.
6/1
Flavour note: Yelves are a newly-introduced race designed to showcase Trumple. I won't go into detailed descriptions here, but they have many flavourful similarities to Elves. They are the main race of my new block, The Trumple Files, which is currently in the pre-production stage.

- Should you have any problems with any of these rules, know that I do not care in the slightest.
 Anyway, a fascinating premise.
Here's my contribution, from a vague set idea I had a while back about players trying to become gods.
Keyword: Devoted (You may sacrifice a creature that is devoted to you rather than pay the mana cost of any spell you would cast, if that spell is an Instant or Sorcery spell, it is a Divine spell in addition to any other types it has)
(Notes: - Divine is a subtype of Instant or Sorcery spells, equivalent to the Arcane subtype
-Creatures may be devoted to any player, depending on the creature in question, not just their
controllers.)
Wildood Paladin  
Creature - Human Warrior
Whenever you cast a divine spell, put a +1/+1 counter on Wildwood Paladin.
If ~ there are 4 or more +1/+1 counters on Wildwood Paladin, Wildwood Paladin is devoted to you.
2/2
Since the fall she has guarded the forest shrines, waiting for the one who would restore them to glory.
Awed Magus 
Creature - Goblin Wizard
Whenever a play casts a spell, if it's the fourth spell they've cast this turn, Awed Magus becomes devoted to them.
1/1
"Usage is immaterial, it is the demonstration of power that commands the peoples' will" - Xira, Mercenary Priest.
Jharkan, Grand High Warlock 
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard Cleric
Hexproof.
All Demons, Devils and Imps on the battlefield are devoted to you.
3/3
"I have mastered the Forbidden Dark my lord, its minions are at your command. Their blood shall wash away your enemies and secure you the Deion Throne."
Eager to see what everyone else comes up with (probably far better ideas), so good luck to them.

Keyword: Ambush (Shuffle ~ into target opponents library. If an opponent draws a card they don’t own with Ambush they are ambushed. That player puts it onto the battlefield under its owners control and draws a card.)
Note that in order for this mechanic to work the cards would need to be printed with an Unique Identifier in some way to distinguish between who owns it. For instance, if both decks contained the same card.
Explanation: You have a creature with Ambush in play. At any time, you can pay its ambush cost to shuffle it into an opponent's library (like after blocking, or when it is targeted by something). When an opponent draws a card that has ambush that they dont own, they put it onto the battlefield under its owners control and then draws a card, and that opponent is considered to have been Ambushed by that card. If it is milled into a graveyard in some way it is put into its owners graveyard and ambush does not happen. If that opponent searches their library for a card and they can legally target that card, they are welcome to do so.
I know it's not your run of the mill keyword, considering it needs the unique identifier on it, plus it would have a rules patch, but I wanted to go big.
Imp Familiar - 
Creature - Demon
Flying, ambush (Shuffle ~ into target opponents library. If an opponent draws a card they don’t own with Ambush they are ambushed. That player puts it onto the battlefield under its owners control and draws a card.)
When Imp Familiar ambushes a player, draw 3 cards.
1/1
Elven Evolver -
Creature - Elf Druid
Ambush  (Shuffle ~ into target opponents library. If an opponent draws a card they don’t own with Ambush they are ambushed. That player puts it onto the battlefield under its owners control and draws a card.)
When Elven Evolver ambushes a player put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield.
2/2
Propagator -
Artifact Creature - Construct
Ambush  (Shuffle ~ into target opponents library. If an opponent draws a card they don’t own with Ambush they are ambushed. That player puts it onto the battlefield under its owners control and draws a card.)
When Propagator ambushes a player, search your library for any number of cards named Propagator and shuffle them into an opponent’s library.
A deck may have any number of Propagators in it.
2/2

These cards are Ball Tightening.
Perfect originality is overrated and often ugly. The best and most beautiful cards I've ever seen were clearly inspired by something else.
Cards are not entirely unlike living organisms in this regard. All the good ones are a result of long evolution; the 'original' ones are either monocellular or mutant aberrations.
Graveborn are strictly better than Zombies. I mean, look at that wicked beard  . You try growing that when your dead. And I know aging fellows who are suffering from Male Pattern Baldness, who would kill for a Mop like Ribsy's over there.

These all seem OP to me, especially Elven Evolver. Either I'm reading it wrong, or it allows you to spend to put any creature you have in your hand into play and then still get a 2/2 at some point later on, with no drawback at all.

I can make pseudo-keywords, right? Blazing Comet

Blazing Comet
Instant (C)
Starfall – Flip Blazing Comet onto the battlefield from a height of at least one foot. If it turns over completely at least once during the flip, Blazing Comet deals 3 damage to each creature it lands on.

My Standard deck: Setting SunThink of how Neo couldn't beat the robots, but they kept him around anyways to defeat Agent Smith. Sure, the robots might not like having a Neo running rampant because instead of playing their favorite 4 drop fatty robot, they have to play a bunch of one mana Matrixs to contain him, but at least Neo keeps Agent Smith from reanimating an Iona on turn two.
Are you saying I'm trying to blame my loss on something? I don't care that I lost, I care that he's a sore loser, and a cheater, and a liar.
CKY, are you bad at anything?
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
I mean, In KevinWorld, Mark is reading the very words I'm typing as well. Heck, in KevinWorld maybe I am Mark.
I'm beginning to think CKY may be anime in real life...
Don't go anywhere CKY, I need to crash dramatically through your window and propose marriage and I don't want you throwing off my paradrop.
[In response to a thread about how hard grading is]
Upon reading this, I've found myself completely unable to operate in the world. I tried to decide what to eat for breakfast, and pondered the vast consequences of my choice. How do I balance my dietary needs against my desire to eat good-tasting food? Should I factor in how long it takes to prepare? Cereal is ready in moments, but bacon takes longer to cook.
Then there is the impact on other industries. Do people in the cereal industry deserve to be employed more than people in the bacon industry? Which industry should I support? I don't even have the data regarding HOW MUCH the cereal industry benefits from me eating a bowl of cereal, or how much the bacon industry benefits from me eating a side of bacon. How can I compare two qualities I can't even quantify?
And let's not forget the milk on the cereal. In addition to determining whether or not milk is healthy for me, how much that benefits the milk industry, and how much the people in the milk industry deserve my support, we have to factor in the fact that cows are put under brutal conditions in order to collect thier milk. Of course, the same goes for the pigs, and then they get killed. Of course, I really like bacon. So I need to come up with a scale that compares the value of cow happiness to pig happiness to my happiness. What trade-offs am I willing to make here? Does the fact that the pig gets put out of its misery count as a plus or a minus? Isn't bacon bad for me anyway?
Deciding what to eat for breakfast (or any meal) is impossible. Help me!
I must admit chinkeeyong, you have the most interesting character ideas; and you play them well.
Anyway, you'd be surprised about Time Stop. When I first saw that card as a relatively new player I didn't see its full potential until I read the reminder text. Is it that unintuitive, though? Mine I mean. What is possibility? Is it possible for me to type these words with my tusks? No, because I don't have tusks. Although I am now tempted to go buy some - obviously not from poachers or whatever - and use them as typing apparatus. I could be the best secretary ever. "What's your words per minute sir?" "Well, only six, but I use these tusks to type them." "You're hired!" That was the interview. And is anyone else disappointed that "apparati" is not the plural form of apparatus? I just could strangle a dictionary, because "apparatuses" is a real word. I guess it sounds pretty cool. I'll call them my Apparatusks.
