Sorry folks, I planned to do a new thread for each iteration of this so it would be easier to track and participate in. If you'd all be so kind as to port your entries to this thread I'd be greatful.
Same rules apply as last time. 1. You have 2 days to enter 2. You can enter once, but are allowed to change your entry before I declare the round over. ALL ENTRIES AFTER THE CUTOFF WILL BE IGNORED FOR VOTING PURPOSES 3. You can design any kind of card you want, but it MUST be named Eaten by Spiders
At the end of two days we begin the voting period 1. Voting lasts 2 days 2. Everyone gets 1 vote 3. You don't have to have entered the contest to vote in it.
at the end of the voting period, the entry with the most votes wins and that person may pick a new card for us to redesign. Good luck!

I freely admit the first entry is pretty good (except that Spiders should always have reach), but here's mine. The title bespeaks using the Devour mechanic , but i decided to word it in such a way that the devour opponent would work in such a way that it'd be equal to the number of creatures that died to spiders. I threw in the defender part so that it could cost a little less. Yes, this card would work best in a Spider-only deck.

Spider creatures you control gain deathtouch until end of turn. Non-Spider creatures you control gain defender until end of turn. (They can't attack)

Could've been Eaten by Wurms , except for the art of course. But then changed it to something less confusing for older players... I dunno. I never got the equipment flavor either. A single spider rarely eats something whole, and multiple spiders would more-than-likely avoid any sharp-pointy, or difficult-to-crunch objects.

Voting for the above, since to me it was one of the only cards to hit on all notes of mechanics, cost, and flavor. Most felt off on at least one of those three (including a ton without flavor text).

I just tested it, it fits fine. The color is iffy but black has a long history of making you live forever.
True, but not in this manner. Typically it's in the form of the various Lich cards. Otherwise it's more like Sorin or Repay in Kind . This feels very Biorhythm . I'm not trying to be down on it, I like it as I said, it just has a few issues.

Oh, wow, dukes and duchi - thanks for some them votes. I'll be the plebiscite king or maybe not - but here's what I gotta contributize. I can't really give all the words for all the cards, but there were entries that stood out, like the first stars of an evening with none of them buster clouds, all busting with gray and white, but you know it's like seventeen hundred on a Winter-type day, and they just all start sparkling like celestial clean teeth.
Thoc of Seagulls - You bustin' out like a brand new man here. My only issues are mostly that I might be a little manic depressive, social anxiety, and maybe a small superiority complex. Oh, and those shaky hands. Hands shake when I'm nervous - I don't mind tellin' you! They ain't shakin' now though oh boy! Oh, but "hatchling" feels like it could be improved upon. Spider reproduction is actually some pretty kinky kupkakes and you could totally take advantage of that fact and the facts surrounding it like so many circles - each one larger than the last expanding out into the muthaphukin' ether.
Rumor - I see why you be rivallin' me or maybe beatin' me like eggs all yolky and whitey and good. Just don't eat them raw - not as good as they may look man. I found out the hard way, but I guess you can try it you might like it. This is really some snazzy removation for those purposes in some slow-motion karate pimpstar decks. You know, them fur coats don't imply a lot of momentum or velocity, brother. And except for the minor spelling errizzle in your flavor tizzle, it all be smizzling like some good shizzle.
Mown - Yo, Norman, how's that goin' down for you? You like the way it goes? Savor it, man - we ain't never going to be any younger than we be right now. 'Cept the future is un-believable. It holds things that we can't even imagine, homie. Like some sort of sickrotten kid with your possessions all behind his girthsome back and those freckels be haunting you in the night sky you can see them peering out of the bushes when you wake up before the dawn to toss your private collection of proverbial pennies into the psychological gutter. Shorter and sweeter than Rumi-Dudi, your little candy bar is only lacking some hellbitcherin' flavor texture, man. I don't know yet, but I might have to wave my hands around in the air for this one, like I don't even care, but you always know I do. I really do, you son of a gun.
SimonGlume - Whoa, sucka'. Traps be trappin' and cappin' and them beats don't be slackin'. You got on that pony and rode it like a horse, eh? Giddyup cowboy. This be sweet cardboard on my fingers I want to hold it. The only thing about this one, is that it ain't two nor three - but that oh that trap cost! So what?
ChaosLight - Lookin' fine tonight, the sky all dark and black like a dark, black night. Smells all cold and good. Anyone with a nose and an oral hole could let you know all that! Even someone with out the good old oral hole could like write it down or Morse code that shig with their scalp on the back of a pillow that was all hard wood and cold steel stone. I like this destination you are headin' to with your headlights on and the wind in yo' hair of the head - all this fighting punch kick bite. Kung fu. Greco Roman Capoeira. But, so very often this guy just says "Kill one of those creatures and then kill another one if that suits you buddy - on the house" except it might cost one arm and the same number of legs. My second point of objection - overruled - thirteen goddamn inches - is that "Eating" is not the same as "Fighting" - at least not for yours truly. My food likes itself in my mouth oh yeah.
So, yeah, moments of truth come and go and this one is right on your doorstep. He's knockin'. Maybe it's a She - you won't know until that door swings on its h-h-hinges: Mown. That's my vote kiddos. That sunny smile just gets me errytime. What are you going to do?

Really this round felt like a dozen variations on the same card, and none of them felt very interesting. I wish I had actually put that GIF in my post. Keeper had an interesting take though (I kind of wish that the controlling player was also in danger og being eaten by spiders though)

White boardwipes, period. Black/Red usually boardwipe through damage or other means (-1/-1 counters) Hence why I said that White/variants boardwipe unless timeshifted, excluding the odd red annihilation spell (which costs a ton and usually gets rid of more than creatures). Green doesn't boardwipe often, and absolutely hates flying (hence why Green usually has Reach) so giving Green a limited wipe should involve what it hates-flying. And sorcery speed, obviously. Day of Judgment would be OP as an instant- heck, you have to go to to do it instant speed with Rout

Cast Eaten by Spiders only during your turn and only during combat.
Spider creatures you control gain deathtouch until end of turn. Non-Spider creatures you control gain defender until end of turn. (They can't attack)
At the end of this phase, put a 0/2 Spider token on the battlefield with reach and a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the number of creatures that died this turn.
Overly complex, narrow, and you pretty much end up with a 0/2 unless their about to die anyway.
Destroy target non-artifact creature. Put 3 1/2 green Spider creature tokens onto the battlefield.
I can get on board with this, but it's dull. When trying to impress with a name (ie, top down) a Violet Pall card isn't going to do it, even if this one does get three power six tough and kill a guy for 5.

Flying hate with black up is disappointing. An interesting death trigger that's pretty neat.
Eaten by Spiders Enchantment Rare Whenever a non-token creature dies, put a hatchling counter on Eaten by Spiders, then put that many 1/2 green Spider creature tokens onto the battlefield.
Spiders eat guys, got it. I like the scale as the game progresses. Not scary for me. I kind of wanted to see some chomping, and nothing happens to the corpse! These are favour nitpicks because I like this one.
Eaten by Spiders Instant Exile up to one target creature and any number of target creature cards from graveyards. For each card exiled this way, put a 1/2 green Spider token with reach onto the battlefield.
More Pall action, but this one's insane. Instant speed graveyard neutering plus kill a guy plus get a billion dudes plus no flavour. I like the concept.
You may cast Eaten by Spiders only if you control a Spider. Destroy target attacking creature. At the beginning of your next upkeep, put X 1/2 black and green Spider creature tokens with reach onto the battlefield, where X is that creatures toughness.
Next upkeep seems unnecessary, and the drawback of casting nly if you control makes the fact it costs 4 kind of suck, though this one is well put together.

When enchanted creature dies, put X 1/2 black Spider creature tokens with reach into play, where X is the number of -1/-1 counters on it. Most spiders spin an egg sac in which to hold their young. Some, however, find the living make betters hosts.
Flavour gold, and this is a favour contest really. (Well that's how I see it). Spiders grow in it until it dies! It's actually eaten by spiders. The reason I liked this one over Dud's was elegance of wording - Dud's granted the ability to h creature, while it's cleaner to have it on the aura. Well costed and actually in color.
Eaten by Spiders Sorcery Destroy all creatures with flying. For each creature destroyed this way, put a 1/2 green Spider creature token with reach onto the battlefield. Every bug, bird, demon or dragon is caught in there neverending web. From each carcass grow more of their horde.
This is cool flavourfully, but questionable from a color perspective for me. It doesn't seem at all black, and flying wipe s pretty hardcore, even for green.
Eaten by Spiders Enchantment At the beginning of your upkeep, your life total becomes equal to the number of Spiders you control. At the end of each endstep create a 1/2 Green Spider token with Reach.
"Within the web that they weave so well, my mind will sing the song of hell, and when eight legs crawl through my skin, I will rejoice in their silky spin." - Stanza 64, Liturgy of the Auburn Recluse
This is awesome, just not balanced fr me. Anything that literally can kill me with 'EoT Pyroclasm' is pretty severe.
Eaten By Spiders Sorcery Destroy up to X creatures. For each creature destroyed this way, put a 1/1 green Spider token with reach onto the battlefield. "Nom nom, yum yum, eat it, eat it up." -Arachnoid chant
Clearly colour issues here, and while I commend the use of flavour text, it's very odd.
Eaten By Spiders Sorcery As an additional cost to cast Eaten By Spiders, tap any nuber of untapped spider creatures you control Exile target creature with flying. For each spider tapped to cast Eaten by Spiders, exile another target creature. For each creature exiled this way, put a 1/2 black and green spider token with reach onto the battlefield
(It's not a typo -- bonus targets for tapping spiders do NOT have to have flying)
the target change is cute, but ultimately confuses the card I think. Then with this being either mono-black that hates on fliers is odd and mono green that exiles stuff is weirder.
Eaten by Spiders [u]Instant Destroy target creature, that creature's controller puts X 1/1 green spider creature tokens with reach and deathtouch onto the battlefield, where X is that creatures power. The spiders refuse to eat the skin of a victim, choosing instead to wait inside for their next meal.

Just kidding, I'm not thaty mean
this is very similar to others as well. Much better flavoured.
Eaten by Spiders Enchantment- Aura Enchant creature Enchanted creature can't attack or block. At the beginning of each upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on enchanted creature. When ~ is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, return ~ to its owner's hand. Sometimes it's the smallest creatures that cause the most harm.
this is pretty cool, but then their's the Pacifism. In green black.
Eaten by Spiders Enchantment (Rare) , : Destroy target permanent with a web counter on it. Tap an untapped Spider creature you control: Choose one--Put a web counter on target nonland permanent; or, untap ~. "Don't have the courage inside me to tell you please let me be..." --No Doubt, Spiderwebs
Really quite interesting. But you give green a way to kill creatures outside of creatures / fighting / weird plummet. Oh, and repeatable LD.
Now, I don't actually think Eaten by Spiders is a very good name.
Eaten by Spiders Enchantment - Aura Enchant tapped creature If enchanted creature would untap, put a -1/-1 counter on it and create a green 1/2 spider creature token with reach instead.
See, this is also good, I was just looking at more flavour, and the tapped target restriction seems potentially pointless, though it is functionally relevant.
Eaten by Spiders BG2Sorcery Destroy target creature. Then but X 1/2 green and black spider creature tokens with reach onto the battlefield where X is the destroyed creatures converted mana cost. With silk as strong as steel, their webs are perfect to catch insects, birds,...drakes, whichever happens upon the nest first.
Eaten by Spiders Instant - Trap If all creatures left the battlefield this turn and you cast no other spells this turn, you may pay rather than pay ~'s mana cost. Put a 1/2 green spider creature token with deathtouch and reach onto the battlefield for each creature that left the battlefield this turn.
The trap is a neat touch, though I'm not a huge fan of the very specific 'replace guys if you get wrathed'. But otherwise neato.
Eaten by Spiders Enchantment--Curse Enchant Player At the end of each turn, put X 1/1 black spider creature tokens onto the battlefield under your control, where X is the amount of life enchanted player lost this turn. Then, if that player's life total is less than the number of spiders on the battlefield, that player loses the game.
Seems pretty serious. The idea of the curse is really cool. I like this quite a bit flavourwise, and it's very creepy. This was a vote contender for me,mthough in the end I was unsure on balance.
Eaten by Spiders | Enchantment Sacrifice a non-token creature you control : Put 1+X 2/2 green spider creature tokens into play, where X is the number of spiders you control. More for the brood.
Hey, a neat concept. This is overall too powerful though, as it makes all your guys pretty resistant. To everything, as well as swarms. The presence of black is not necessarily required here either.
Eaten By Spiders Sorcery Put two 1/2 green and black spider creature tokens with deathtouch and reach onto the battlefield. Then each of those tokens fights another target creature.
A neat idea, though similar to others, and with ambiguous wording.
I don't get 'eaten', even with morbid. Not a bad card.Overly complex, narrow, and you pretty much end up with a 0/2 unless their about to die anyway.I can get on board with this, but it's dull. When trying to impress with a name (ie, top down) a
You may cast Eaten by Spiders only if you control a Spider. Destroy target attacking creature. At the beginning of your next upkeep, put X 1/2 black and green Spider creature tokens with reach onto the battlefield, where X is that creatures toughness.
Next upkeep seems unnecessary, and the drawback of casting nly if you control makes the fact it costs 4 kind of suck, though this one is well put together.
Thanks. As for the next upkeep, it's supposed to show the spiders growing... in hindsight I would've liked this better. (And it's more towards my original design back in the day.)
Eaten by Spiders -- Instant (U)
Destroy target attacking creature, and put X 1/2 black and green Spider creature tokens with reach onto the battlefield, where X is that creatures toughness. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may exile that creature card from a graveyard. If you do, you may have Spider tokens you control become 2/4 black and green Spider creature tokens.
Territorial, agile, and extremely hungry.
You get to block with them as 1/2 with reach, but when you attack with them, if they've eaten their dinner, they can become 2/4.

I agree that this card is cool, but as worded is confusing. Is each exiled card getting you a 1/2 spider, or is only the creatures exiled via tapping a spider? Also, it shouldn't really be hybrid. is fine.

Though Imi says it's repeatable LD, it's really not (Psst, Imi... nonland permanent 8^p) it is possible toturn that into LD with counter manipulation, but nevertheless this is by far my favorite. VOTE: Edacade

I love the prospect of counter manipulation, so any time I make a card that deals with counters I try to leave it open for such interactions. But yeah, no repeatable LD without a repeatable source of counter manipulation (and manlands are pretty much the only lands that can consistently get marked by such things as far as I'm aware). Silly Imi.
Thanks for the vote.

But it also gets harder because you can only put counters on nonland permanents. Manlands are still lands while they're creatures.
The only way I can honeslty think of, granted it's late now, is:
Animate a land , then while it's a creature, change it to so mething else . While it's ONLY a creature, put a web counter on it. BOOM, now you can destroy it at your leisure. I don't know that that entirely qualifies as repeatable, but if that happened to me. I would probably applaud the man doing it to me.
EDIT: I only know interactions like this exist because of what I thought to be the best combination ever until it was disproven. Liquimetal Coating targeting Exquisite Blood . Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas Ability two targeting that EB . Then casting Infinite Reflection on that EB and turn each creature of yours into a 5/5 artifact creature enchantment that gains you a crapton of life if your opponent loses any. This unfortunately doesn't work BUT I still run an entertaining Infinite Reflections deck.[/edit]

I was thinking putting a web counter on a creature (using Llanowar Elves for example) and then when the manland is a creature cast a Fate Transfer targeting the Elves and the manland. Manland now has web counter. Not easily repeatable, but there are ways .

Eh, I'll have to go with Rumor, even though I think his card is jank, power-wise.
Maybe not -jank-, but certainly not well costed. I should've made it a little cheaper. Not sure why I didn't.
Just compare it to recent standard cards like Jace, Stoneforge Mystic and Snapcaster Mage! Well, okay, jank was a slight exaggeration. The current metagame having fun with haste and restoration angel would probably not be very kind to it, although it has some use in limited standstills.

I generally don't design cards to compete with the power level of rares/mythics, particularly in regards to any specific format, unless I'm creating cards that would -be- rares/mythics.

Well, I'm a bit proponent of powerful cards at all rarities, but the aformentioned cards weren't a serious comparison. I'd rather not have standard bannings. Or Modern. (Snapcaster Mage isn't actually banned, and is quite a fun card, but still an outrageously powerful utility creature.)
