    That doesn't hose the previous card much--protection won't stop it from getting bounced by an untargeted effect. (Also, it should have protection from Shapeshifters; I don't think "protection from ability" works that way). If only you'd given it a creature type.

    Hosing both:

    Horrible Moment
    B
    Tribal Instant--Horror
    Until end of turn, permanents you control are Horror Tribals in addition to their types.
    Target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn.

    Quote from yareg
    GetItWrong, I think you should check you demon's spelling. Without "each other creature" demon will kill himself.


    That part's not a bug, it's a feature; otherwise it's too strong if you control no other creatures. I've changed the other issue, thanks; I'd had it this way originally, but altered it to make the combo work better without realizing that made it broken by itself.

    Paintheft Shaman
    (R/G)
    Creature--Human Shaman (uncommon)

    Despised Blasphemer
    2BB
    Creature--Demon Advisor (rare)
    4/3

    Next challenge: Create a legendary creature based on one or both of the characters from They Fight Crime! Feel free to refresh the page as many times as you want. You can assume a modern-Earth-esque setting if you want, or translate the concepts into fantasy terms. Be sure to include the text from the website either in your post or your flavortext. I'd prefer that the card feel black-bordered, but you can make it Un- if you have a good enough idea.


    Quote from Brofaux


    He's a gun-slinging skateboarding gangster fleeing from a secret government programme. !

    Aeron Swiftclick 2WR
    Legendary Creature - Human Gangster
    Flash, Haste
    Whenever ~ enters the battlefield, you may have it deal damage equal to it's power to target creature or player.
    3/3
    "Shoot, skate, skeet. That's my life, and nothins gettin' in the way." - Aeron Swiftclick


    Simple, strong, vanilla sort of card, maybe not quite legend-worthy. I'm not sure where the white comes in, flavorfully or mechanically.

    Quote from Kev the Walker


    He's an oversexed native American barbarian on the run. She's a psychotic Buddhist mercenary living on borrowed time. They fight crime!

    Ahote and Karma
    1WRR
    Legendary Creature - Human Berserker Monk (R)
    Haste, provoke
    At the beginning of your end step, if ~ attacked this turn, sacrifice it.
    Madness WRR
    Punishment, passion, pain, and prayer.
    5/5


    Well done getting nearly every element in there. I like the combination of provoke with ball-lightningness. Oddly enough, this is the second card in a row that seems like it could be red mana rather than WR.

    Quote from Megiddo
    He's an ungodly bohemian Green Beret on the hunt for the last specimen of a great and near-mythical creature. She's a disco-crazy insomniac angel who hides her beauty behind a pair of thick-framed spectacles.

    I made two, but feel free to just grade the first one.

    Trujo Sarto, the Extinguisher 1WB
    Legendary Creature — Human Soldier {R}
    First strike, vigilance
    Whenever Trujo Sarto, the Extinguisher deals combat damage to a creature, if no other creature shares a creature type with that creature, destroy it.
    "It's taken years, but finally I have you in my grasp. What a beautiful specimen... You may die knowing that I truly regretted this."
    2/2

    Bidissica, Who Stops Hearts 2WWW
    Legendary Creature — Angel {R}
    Flying, vigilance
    When Bidissica, Who Stops Hearts is turned face-up, tap all other creatures. They don't untap during their controllers' next untap steps.
    Morph 2WW
    "Tired already?"
    4/5


    Excellent concept on Trujo, fun, printable cards both, if a bit strong.

    Quote from CrimsonCrossfire
    He's a suicidal bohemian inventor on a mission from God. She's a man-hating extravagent Valkyrie descended from a line of powerful witches. They Fight Crime!

    Krade, Suicidal Genius WUBR
    Legendary Creature - Human Cleric Artificer (R)
    Whenever you play an artifact, choose one; Gain 5 life; or draw 2 cards; or destroy target nonbasic land; or target player discards a card at random. Then, put a -1/-1 counter on ~.
    4/4

    Aspen, Amazon Witch 2BGG
    Legendary Creature - Human Shaman Archer (R)
    Reach, deathtouch
    Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a creature, you may untap ~.
    Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, that player discards a card at random.
    4/4

    THEY FIGHT CRIME!!!


    Interesting cards. Krade has some tantalizing combo potential, but I think the four-color cost is prohibitive.

    Quote from Kensei
    He's an uncontrollable neurotic sorcerer who must take medication to keep him sane. She's a scantily clad mute Valkyrie who don't take no ☺☺☺☺ from nobody.

    NICE! Got some very fantasy based stuff!


    Noa the Neurotic 1UUB
    Legendary Creature-Human Wizard (R)
    1UB,T: Draw two cards. You lose 3 life.
    At the beginning of your end step, if you didn't cast an instant spell this turn, put the top 8 cards of your library into your graveyard.
    2/3

    Vesper, the Wordless Hammer 3RRW
    Legendary Creature-Angel (R)
    Flying, haste, raze 3 (whenever this creature attacks, it deals 3 damage to defending player unless that player sacrifices a land)
    Whenever a land is put into a graveyard from anywhere, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
    3/4


    Both cool cards, Noa in particular is fascinating in its combo potential with a sort of clunky emergency shutoff. Nicely done.

    Quote from DeusofCalamity
    He's a superhumanly strong zombie ex-con. She's a bloodthirsty extravagent snake charmer with an MBA from Harvard. They fight crime!

    Zork, Sentient Null 3BB
    Legendary Creature - Zombie {R}
    BB: Regenerate
    9/3

    Lysandra, Viper Caller 1GGB
    Legendary Creature - Vampire Shaman {R}
    Whenever a creature dealt damage by ~ or by a snake you control goes to the graveyard from the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
    GG: Put 2 1/1 Green Snake creature tokens onto the battlefield.
    2/2


    Both of these seem unprintably overpowered to me (obviously Lysandra's use is mainly as a token generator, but a repeatable 1-to-1 ratio is a bit much).

    Quote from bloodyspasm
    He's an all-American sweet-toothed barbarian on the hunt for the last specimen of a great and near-mythical creature.

    Teeth, the Mythic Hunter 1UWR
    Legendary Creature - Human Warrior (M)
    Haste, Vigilance, Protection from mythic.
    T: Destroy target creature with a mythic rarity.
    "I got a sweet tooth for the hunt."
    3/4


    Heh. That is of course an Un- concept, but it has the benefit that cards old enough not to show their rarity also predate the mythic rarity itself, so it wouldn't cause too much trouble as a black-bordered card. Teeth is a good name, too.

    Having trouble deciding between Megiddo and Kensei. I'm going to give this one to Kensei, whose cards are eye-poppingly cool in a Timmy way without making me worry about their possible brokenness in constructed.

    They fight crime!

    Quote from hoyerhan
    I find it ironical that you consider this card to be way to good because "it kills most Planeswalkers the turn after they hit" for 2CC, while the winning card does the same for 1CC. Rolleyes

    Well, you can block mine. It is a pretty nasty hose, though.

    Thanks, Kensei. Not sure how I feel about being mistaken for Brofaux, who's talented but usually my polar opposite in style. Then again, I was trying to get as far as possible away from just reposting the card that won your previous challenge.

    Next challenge: Create a legendary creature based on one or both of the characters from They Fight Crime! Feel free to refresh the page as many times as you want. You can assume a modern-Earth-esque setting if you want, or translate the concepts into fantasy terms. Be sure to include the text from the website either in your post or your flavortext.
