Welcome to the 10th installment of YMTC Idol!


YMTC Idol has come to be one of the longest running contests on these forums, and I'm happy to help usher it into its 10th year of challenging creative minds to etch their names into YMTC history.

The previous year saw thirty contestants enter the fray; in the end, Mown was left victorious. Thirty-nine hopefuls came to this year's call, but only twenty-four made it through the auditions, with four falling in the round thereafter. The second round claimed four more victims, followed by another three. Three more lost their way, and two more were lead astray, leaving eight remaining. Should you wish to reach glory, you must face the challenges set forth by my magnanimous panel. Your judges this year are...

Mown, the winner of YMTC Idol 9!...
Kavu_Overlord, the winner of YMTC Idol 8!...
And your host, Rush_Clasic, the winner of... um... erm... your hearts and affections!

Round 6 Criteria:
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something... colorless?

The first criteria I ever posted for YMTC Idol was maybe the best received I've ever posted. The contestants liked it, the judges liked, and I sure felt like a class-act for thinking it up. Funny thing about accomplishment: it often loses its shine really quick (just look at the rest of the criteria from that year). Anyway, that's my something old. The something new is how I intend to implement that criteria. The something borrowed comes from the only contest I'm currently a competitor in (thanks, Imidazoline), as is the something colorless....

Assignment:
Create a land card with one or both of the following: an ability that functions from a zone other than the battlefield; or an ability that interacts with a zone other than the battlefield.



You have five days to submit your card (added some days due to the amount of cards; if you need an extension, ask and I might consider it). Two contestants will be eliminated this round.

Good luck!

I'm struck by how this criteria is pretty much an identical inverse of the criteria in my contest at the moment. Pretty cool. I suck at reading. Thanks Rush.

I had an awesome idea, but then realised that was because CKY had just done it in said contest. Not so cool.

Land to come.

Dreamscape |
Land
As Dreamscape enters the battlefield, you may choose a basic land type. If you do, Dreamscape enters the battlefield tapped with that land type.
, return another land you control to its owner's hand: Exile Dreamscape, then return it to the battlefield under your control.
It exists, imagined into being by the footsteps of a million dreamers.

Think 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.

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.

[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.

You may look at the top card of your library. (You may do this at any time.)
, Put the top card of your library into your graveyard: Add or one mana of that card's color to your mana pool. Activate this ability only any time you could cast an instant.

As long as ~ is in your graveyard and you control a Swamp, you can’t lose the game and opponents can’t win the game.
If you would lose life, if you control a Swamp and ~ is in your graveyard, instead exile that many cards from your graveyard.


WIP.




I clarified the criteria since apparenlty you read it not how I intended.
