I have no interest in the background or initiative cards, and neither does my cube care for multiplayer specific mechanics or draft chaff. Also, I still hate the d20 cards. With a passion. I fear the number of interesting cards in this set is going to be very, very small for me.

https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Norse_pantheon
A lot of real world pantheons have a place in Forgotten Realms mythology. For example, Tyr (from the Norse pantheon) was also a member of the Faerûnian pantheon. So were Oghma and Silvanus of the Celtic pantheon. Multiple deities from the...
The problem is that Scryfall doesn't have all tokens. E.g. Commander 2015 had dfc tokens, but if you search for "s:c15 t:token", nothing comes up because those tokens are apparently missing In Scryfall's database.
Hey, it's revolt! Pretty cool card! We're slowly but surely getting in a place where there's enough cards that use experience counters that you can start considering them for cube (except Meren, who doesn't need any help to be broken)
Yep! I was trying to set a precedent with the [Custom Card Contest] tag, and I'ld put the deadline in the title, but the part between those is entirely up to you ;)
Depending on your cube configuration, Jori En's initial effect often is "draw a card", since you typically want to run her out on turn turn 4 together with a one drop. That was my point about Oji's mana value. That said, don't let me dissuade anyone from trying this card. It looks like good fun...
Oji looks like it's about one generic mana off of being playable. The body is pretty atrocious, and the mana value makes it hard to trigger its effect the turn you play it. Jori En, Ruin Diver straight up has a better payoff for playing two spells most of the time, in a color combination that's...
Oh yeah, it definitely needs tweaking somewhere, as the effect breaks the color pie without some form of fix, but like I said, numbers and mana costs can be adjusted :) I'ld probably change the creature ability to "{b}, Sacrifice X tokens: Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn."

*The Final Verdict*
Maybe you've been guessing along, since I posted my thoughts on each entry yesterday, or maybe you haven't. Maybe you still can! Who do you think made the final three? I'll pause, briefly, while you ponder the options...

*MilesOfficial - Impassioned Demon*
The adventure half of this is really cool, I can see all sorts of shenanigans with this once you get to a certain amount of mana. Recasting multiple Mulldrifters, Benevolent Bodyguards, Dauntless Bodyguards, Dawntreader Elks, seems fun! The black half I get...
*Judgment Day*
Time to go over all the entries in this contest. Since I allowed everyone to submit up to three designs, I've got quite a few to go over, but first I want to take a moment to outline my judging philosophy. Since this is a Design contest, I'm mostly looking for cool designs that...
I haven't forgotten! But I've still got prep work to do for the D&D one shot I'm running tomorrow night. Friday and Saturday are booked, but I've got all Sunday to finally get around to judging this contest :D
