I vote for Catotheyounger's Woundsalter. Balanced, hoses Persist, and really flavorful. Also, acts as sort of an anti-lord in the right deck.

Even though Rush_Clasic "only" designed a Leech Bonder variant and Dream_Spinner "only" designed one of Witherscale Wurm , they're probably different enough to be innovative.. I'll vote for Dream_Spinner! ^.^

My vote here:

Dec 23, 2012 -- 12:40AM, cats_and_me wrote:

Blight Juggler -
Creature - Zombie Rogue
: Blight Juggler gains wither until end of turn. Any player may activate this ability.
Whenever Blight Juggler becomes target of a spell or ability, it deals one damage to each of two random creatures.
Never distract someone that's juggling infested rat cadavers.
2/2

I'll vote for HairlessThoctar. This kind of reminds me of Brion Stoutarm , or maybe a balanced titan. The story behind the card definitely added to it as well.

Big Tent Juggler

, sacrifice a creature: Big Tent Juggler deals damage equal to the sacrificed creature's power to target creature or player.
Those who survive the experience say it's the best show on all of Ravnica.
6/6

First off, wither wasn't the best of choices.  All that could be done with wither has already been done; then it was done again with infect.   I admit that of the ten cards I've created (yes, I have cards readied for the remaining five contests), this is probably my worst, and that's counting the "gem" I created for Orzhov. 

But, I have a mind in the gutter.  Ergo, my vote is for Esterdi's harlot.

So, I didn't grade yet, but I think Ulcaster's Rakdos Jester is spot on with a Rakdos with Wither. I approve!

My vote goes to the person who best found a way to capture the all-in nature of Rakdos in a very not all-in mechanic of wither.

Yxoque made a neat little beater. cats_and_me almost had it. But Dream Spinner had quite the nasty beast to show, and thus gets my vote.

While all-inedness is admirable, I think what MaRo was going for when he said wither was the idea that the Rakdos weaponize pain in a very visceral way. At their worst, they're sadomasochistic loonies, and Wither can play off of that very well.

The all-in philosophy works, but it is only one facet to the Rakdos, and I feel that there are others worth exploring.
I will admit the wither on my design has almost no flavor to it, but I felt that the mechanics played into the top-down flavor of a juggler quite well, for example.

I voted in the poll, but just in case, I'll put it here as well. I'm going to vote Ulcaster. It's simple and elegant and I think it's definitely printable.
