You make a Magic card of... You!
The way this will work, is that people can make cards using: Magic Set Editor and post them here, on this thread. (MAKE SURE YOU FILL IN THE ARTIST'S NAME OR AT LEAST THEIR DEVIANTART SN IN THE APPROPRIATE PLACE.)
However, for this one, a picture would be more appropriate.
People will talk about which cards they like, and you can enter the contest with as many entries as you would like. At the end of the month I will pick a card we like and put it in the news. We will also have a 'Hall of Fame.'
(I will not play in this game, to make it fair and all that. Well, my entry will not count anyway.)
If you have any questions feel free to ask them here.
Also, how I will be judging things:
Spoiler:
Balance: 10/10 - I liked Standard and Draft. If you card is a rare, I will be asking my self, "Self, if I was on my way to a tournament, and I was to build a deck to support this card, would I have a reasonable chance of winning?" If the answer is "no," how much would I not want to? If the answer is "yes" how much do I want to? (since it could unbalance the game). If the card is a uncommon or common, I will be thinking about what pick I would choose it in draft, and whether or not having lots of it would unbalance the draft. (I will also think about it in constructed, but as a support card.) I will also ask myself if your card would unbalance any of the older formats, but will care less about that answer. Finally, if its clear your card is a casual card, I will TRY and be understanding, but I am a terrible casual player, and really have no grasp of the format. Flavour: 10/10 - I will probably be more lenient in this category. The main questions will be: "Did I like the Flavour or not?," "How much does the art fit?" But I will try not to be too harsh. Bad art>no art. Think Goblin Offensive flavor. Creativity: 5/5 - "Has this been done before?" "How 'new' is it?" Think Doran, the Siege Tower's ability. Quality: 5/5 - "Does this card (need/should not have) flavour text?" Also, I will be taking off -.25 for every 'small' error I find, and -.5 for every 'large' error. If your card does not work in the current comp rules, expect a -1 here. Make sure you have a text card, and your text card lines up with the render.

It might require some explanaition so here goes: I see myself as a griefer timmy/johnny player and I'm rather fond of hand destruction, milling and mana ramping... this might seem as an odd combination but i like it and i think this card shows this pretty well. Also i'm fond of zendikar and the"Lands matter" theme, so i went with a land themed planeswalker.

my entry, i have read the comic for a while and i like it. thats why i am here anyway.
my card that's my favorite picture of myself. i love playing black but my personality is more of the color white, so i made my card similar to that of the Orzhov guild. i like the collect part you can gain the amount of life lost or draw cards equal to the number discarded.

I am entering two cards, the first one is an old one of me as a planeswalker. I made the card a while back when I was still playing with two of my former colleagues. As one was quite new to the game and the other one was more interested in collecting and less in playing, I happened to be the player who knew the most about the ruling of the game and I was sort of the appointed judge. I made this card as a joke and even made ones for them. (not shown)
But for this competition I also wanted to make a card that represents me as a casual player. I usually build a deck play with it a few times and then get bored with it. This means that I used to have a new deck at least every week and my friends never new what I would be playing this time. I tried to make myself to be an instant but since I couldn’t combine that very well how I wanted me to be represented I turned out as a creature this time.

Here's my entry for this month's contest, as well as a few other cards I created for flavor reasons. There's a theme regarding the fraternity I joined in college. Hope you enjoy!!
First: Me as a planeswalker.

Limit reached, see next post.
**EDIT** Also, I realize that my reminder text for Brotherhood should say "until end of turn" and not "until the next end step"

I've made multiple cards that reflect me as a being. (note i didn't say person, as i'm a transhumanist and i am a dark dragon god for the purposes of my beliefs, (believe them at your own peril, for they may come to haunt your very existence...)
The card i'm submitting is from my recent set, the Ancients of Urankar. Set two in the Urankar Block (of 3, currently in progress)
The card itself is a mythic rare, and is meant for a more casual group, personally i'm not very competitive, but i hate losing to random bs such as the shuffler on MTGO. (my main source of playing, as i have a very small group to actually play paper with)
I wouldn't be surprised to get docked for certain things, but since you're the judge taylor, (and might i say your wife is hot )
Here is the True form of Ravarshi Kashaku, the Ancient One
Spoiler:
Also, since none of you, especially taylor, know the point of my sets. i created a new supertype, as you can see on Ravarshi. the supertype is "Ancient" and it has very little impact on the actual game, aside from the cards in my sets that care about "Ancient Permanents" such as Bloodhaze Hellion, (which i'm not posting, but i'm showing it's rules texts to confer the point of the supertype Ancient. _____ When Bloodhaze Hellion enters the battlefield, it deals X damage to each creature and each player, where X is the number of Ancient Permanents you control. _____ As well as my Steward of the Kashaku Estate, Lord Kashaku (not me. but my servant and original idea before i decided in my caustic mind that i wanted a better form of myself.)
and for whatever reason, this one i cannot put into spoilers, as it refuses to open.
(if you're intrested in critiquing the rest of my sets, both Urankar's Mysteries and the Ancients of Urankar, you're welcome to do that as well, but to save space. do so in private/ or on the actual post of when i post it to MTGS, after my suspension is up on the 6th of August (oddly enough, my father Keman's Birthday)
Taylor, if you'd like to critique them both for the nature of the contest, please do. as i have created them both from my twisted evil cancerous mind. (no i dont have cancer, at least as far as i know, but i'm even more so of a twisted individual than you thought huh?)
