While Darkest Knight's Yin is on the battlefield, it loses protection from white and gains +2/+2.

Quote from arsenick_wrath

Wait, you just called Ernest Hemingway cliche!

I am sure it wasn't 60 years ago.

Yeah... I am not literary critic...

That reminds me, that some testing companies are using automated graders on essay portions of University entrance exams. Some took famous passages of literature and ran them through the machines. The machines scored passages of Faulkner very poorly. I never really liked Faulkner much either.

Judged

Enough - closed... and have patience on judging please... I have a cold and can't take off work, so it'll take a day or two to do these judgings I think.

Judged


arsnenick_wrath
It's powerful with a good effect. I would like to see this effect on a cheaper creature, for it to get its proper use. I think on a 6/6 black flyer. It will just be something that appeals to the Timmy lover, but really this creature is just going to pound the snot out of players from the sky. Flavor text works, but feels a bit cliche.
Kora, Seed of Corruption :3mana::symb::symb::symb:
Legendary Creature - Avatar [R]
Flying
Whenever a nonblack creature enters the battlefield, put a corruption counter on it. Creatures with corruption counters on them are black in addition to their other colors and have "At the beginning of your upkeep, this creature deals 1 damage to you."
"All things truly wicked start from an innocence."
6/6

I like the representation of a Joust and then going into a fight with the sword. Then you think about it on most magic cards and these things rarely make sense. What if the Sea Serpent has three lances equipped to it? That is no flaw of your design though, just some of the silliness of this game. The equipment itself is pretty standard fare. Nice twist with the seeking out another card.
Jousting Lance
Artifact - Equipment (U)
Equipped creature gets +2/+0 and first strike.
Whenever ~ becomes unequipped, sacrifice it. You may search your library for a card named Duelling Dueling Sword, and put it into play.
Equip
..............
Duelling Dueling Sword
Artifact - Equipment (U)
Equipped creature gets +1/+1, then if ~ is the only card equipping it, it gets an additional +1/+1.
Equip
-----------------------------------------

CoJotheLawyer The idea is well represented. The effect itself is a little too conditional for my taste. In a game against two black decks, it is a bomb, if you have the biggest guy. It is an inefficient Damnation otherwise. Then against other decks, this becomes a "put all your eggs in one basket" kind of card.
Food Chain Of Evil :symb::symb::symb:
Sorcery(R)
Destroy all black creatures except for the black creature with the highest converted mana cost on the battlefield.
It gains +1/+1 counters, with being the number of creatures destroyed by ~.
"For every evil, there's a bigger evil waiting to prove its supremanysupremacy."
-----------------------------------------

Mobiusman I like the effect, and the flavor text... I am not sure on the costing of this, but it is a super Johnny card. Well done.
Time Keeps On Slipping :3mana::symg::symu:
Enchantment (r)
At the beginning of each main phase, simultaneously untap all tapped creatures and tap all untapped creatures.
Forel knew something had changed when his sundial told him it was tomorrow.
-----------------------------------------

Kompressor Funny flavor text, athough it is a bit stretched to really fit on this card. This almost quallifies as an Un-card. It feels just shy of Un, and too silly to be real. I like where you were going though.
Nuke Em :4mana::symr::symr::symr::symr:
Sorcery
~ deals 10 damage to each creature and 5 damage to each player.
"Safe sex, now thats an oxymoron. Like tactical nuke or adult male."
-----------------------------------------

Zanny77 This is another card that the name says UN all over it, but the implementation is an ordinary card. I like the flavor text a lot.
Luckily My Shield Will Protect Me :2mana::symw:
Instant (U)
Target creature gains +0/+6 until end of turn. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to that creature.
Oak and iron, guard me well
Or else I'm dead and doomed to Hell
— Andal Proverb, A Song Of Ice And Fire
-----------------------------------------

GetItWrong Even though I don't like set specific cards... this is a fun implementation of one. I only wish that this were not such a niche card. I like the idea of incorperating set symbols in the rules text.
Gaijin Smash
:1mana::symwu:
Instant (rare)
Until end of turn, creatures you control have protection from cards with the , , or expansion symbols.
The very concept of another plane is searingly terrifying to mortal and kami alike.
-----------------------------------------

Kollaps I think this is very well done. There is a lot going on here, although most players would not pay 4 mana for a 2/2 unless it had an agressive affect. This guy's ability relegates him mostly to casual games and limited games. I don't see players going out of their way to put this in constructed decks. Nice flavor text.
Shadowed Medic :2mana::symw::symb:
Creature - Human Cleric Soldier (U)
:symw::symb:: Prevent the next 2 damage that would be dealt to you this turn.
Whenever all damage that would be dealt to you by a single source is prevented, target player loses 1 life and you gain 2 life.
"All you need to practice medicine is a white coat, a few tools, a patient, and just a little bit of madness."
2/2
-----------------------------------------

Krey I am not sure why this is white, but I like the card a lot. It seams to be costed well. This is another card that Johnny players would love.
Hidden Identity :2mana::symwu::symwu:
Instant
Exile target creature you control.
Put a creature card from your hand into the battlefield, at the end of turn sacrifice that creature and return the exiled creature into the battlefield under your control.
"There's something I have to do... I'll be back in a second...or two."
-----------------------------------------

Diven Solid and believable card. I think you are remiss in passing up the opportunity for flavor text.
Sacrifical Lamb :2mana::symb::symb:
Sorcery {R}
Sacrifice a creature you control. If you do, you may search your deck for a creature card and put it onto the battlefield tapped with a +1/+1 counter on it. Then shuffle your library.
-----------------------------------------

nope I could easily see this in an UN set. It has legitimate rules, but it is big and funny enough to make the grade. I think you might win this round.
Crusader Rabbit :3mana::symw::symg:
Legendary Creature-Bunny Knight
First strike and Vigilance.
Whenever a creature dealt damage by ~ this turn would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, its controller may exile it instead.
If they do, you may gain 8 life.
If they don't you may put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
3/4
In his crusade to bring strength and order to all the land he gives his enemies the choice of oblivion, or death. Whichever judgement judgment is preferred, it only ever results in either the emboldening of his warriors or the restoration of their resolve.
-----------------------------------------

Crimson Crossfire Nice representation of your idea. The card itself is really powerful with Samurai. Otherwise.. unusable. I am not a big fan of such limited cards. It leaves little for players to do in construction.
Sword of the Stranger
Tribal Artifact - Samurai Equipment (R)
~ can only be equipped to Samurai.
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and gets Bushido 3.
: unattach ~, ~ deals 3 damage to target creature or player.
Equip:
-----------------------------------------


Winner is nope's Crusader Rabbit, I really like that card. Thanks for playing. If you want actual points... 1,000,000,000 points for nope, and only 1,000,000 for everyone else.

I hate winning! but I'll do my duty.

TV tropes... have been done before, but they are fun. I liked the random thing too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_Cobra

Unidentified Cobra :1mana::symbg:
Creature - Snake (U)
When Unidentified Cobra enters the battlefield conceal it as Cobra or False Cobra.
:symbg:: Reveal (Cobra/False Cobra)
If this creature is revealed Cobra it is a black creature with deathtouch.
If this creature is revealed False Cobra, it is green creature with "When this creature damages an opponent, that player loses 2 life."
2/2


Rules for coneal/reveal: you have to chose its identity when it enters the battlefield. If you don't reveal it, it remains a plane 2/2 snake. Concealing can be done with a slip of paper. If a judge rules the writing ambiguous or illegible, the creature is not revealed.

Tiny Spiny Mites :1mana::symg:
Creature - Insect (U)
:symtap:: Target attacking creature is considered blocked by Tiny Spiny Mites.
Thorns X, where X is equal to total power of all creatures blocked by Tiny Spiny Mites. (Combat damage dealt to this creature causes X damage to be dealt to that source.)
They reproduce so quickly that they have no need for a survival instinct.
1/1

thOGor
Creature - Giant
Defender
thOGor can't block.
thOGor can't be the target of spells or abilities.
thOGor can't do nothin'.
6/6

Azanthon, Fun, good game play, overpowered a lot, not every color should get decent creature removal for 4 and a 2/2 body. 75% C. Most of the score lost in balance.
Retrognome
Artifact Creature - Gnome
Suspend 1,
When ~this enters the battlefield, if it was suspended, choose one — Destroy target creature; or exile ~this with a time counter on it.
Entwine — Discard a card. (Choose both if you pay the entwine cost.)

"Fire roses look all the same. Some can burn you and some can heal you, its just a matter of how lucky you are."

Rudyard Not a very inspired card. It could use some flavor text. This makes a lot sense for red, but it is a utility card more than a fun card. 75% C.
Pyromancer's Upsurgence :symr::symr:
Sorcery
Choose one - Add RRR to your mana pool; or double all red mana in your pool.

Crudader_8 This should be called Everything but the Kitchen Sink. Aye-yai-yai... 75% C

OR have Brofaux take 1 year to finish the judgings.
