@Astarael
Grind is a nice trick to connect what is, to what could be.


@cats_and_me
This is all of the right kinds of weird. The best kind of puzzles are the subtle kind, and there's plenty of times this would bite you in the ass, but just as many as it might not.


@Tequilasaurus
Obmutescer? Sure, why not. Odd seeing a Dimir card that is so good in combat.


@Matt_Holck
As stressed by myself and several others, this doesn't work. Morph and transform are mutually exclusive.
Morph requires a card to have a face and a back.
A double-face card is just that; a card with two face. They don't have a back and can't ever be face down.


@Purplebackpack
Nice effect, and a body that compliments cipher. Not bad.


@Tevish_Szat
I had to double check to make sure this wasn't riffing on Undercity Plague . I kind of wish it had... <_<
Neat effect.


@ColonialDragons
Sorry I didn't see this sooner, but I don't know what to do with this. "Leaves the battlefield" has no meaning in this sense. Does it become sacrificed? Bounced? Without knowing, I can't grade this.


@Rush
Don't change a thing.


@Tekkahedron
This has weird tension I don't particularly like; It has an ability that wants to be used pre-combat, and one that wants to be dealt during combat.


@Libe
It's hard for me to gauge this. On one hand, it's repeatable removal. On the other, it's slow and hard to do repeatedly. The effect itself is fine, I'm just not sure about the cost.


@Altimis
If Rapid Hybridization is fine, so is this. A fine card.


@Dudibus
*A* That's so cool. I love it.


@POSValkir
I'm not entirely kosher with another old keyword being reused, but I never said you couldn't, so whatevs. You can't target individual cards in your hand.
As the design is, ninjutsu fits in find with what the Dimir are up to.


@ConfusedAsUsual
I think the way this works is that which card is which when you blinkmorph is ambiguous. If so, I love it.


@FrankyFourFingers
A bit sledgehammery, but fine. It seems odd for blue-black to harm itself in such a way, but I suppose you wouldn't include a card with a drawback like that without some way to abuse it.


@Dream_Spinner
Interesting. I've always liked Torpor Orb kind of effects, so this appeals to me in particular.


@EyeballFrog
Something like that yeah. You'd have to have separate clauses for cards in your hand and on the battlefield.
As is, this is fine.
A good way to cheat things into play, or late game, make better use of any lands you draw.


@pablo
Doesn't work. ):
Tokens aren't cards, and thus, don't have cardfaces.

JUDGE'S VOTE
This wasn't easy.
There were a lot of devious, underhanded, backstabbing entries this round; and several of the contestants threatened me with severe bodily harm.
Lazav would be proud

Third place, +10 BRAGGING RIGHTS
Tevish_Zsat
A card that can only be morphed should have a sufficiently powerful ability to justify the lack of flexibility, and repeatable smallpox es seems about right.

Second place, +20 BRAGGING RIGHTS
Rush_Clasic
Rush and Altimis were both riffind on the idea of morphing something as a form of removal, the idea that a vanilla 2/2 is probably a lot less scary than whetever it was before.
I think that both cards could be printed, Altimis' entry is analogous to Pongify / Rapid Hybridization , but Rush' entry hoses etb abilities, and those have gone on unchecked for entirely too long.
A very nice card.

First place, +30 BRAGGING RIGHTS
Dudibus
secrets and liiiiiiiiiiiiies!
A very cool riff on a classic ability.

Thanks to all of our contestants, and congrats to our winners!

Woohoo! When no one voted or mentioned my card I was worried.

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.

The weird part is reaching over the table, grabbing a card from their hand, and just staring slowly back at them, awkwardly, as you slide their voice of resurgence slowly into your pants.

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.

Hey Dudibus, I can't take you seriously until you take your shirt off!
