Not exactly how I thought the Challenge Series would start on its first month. Maybe the ability word I provided wrought your brains a little too hard. Well, without further ado, lets us judge the only two people who participated in it.
First off, let us take a look at the individual cards.
's Greenglow Valley [ mtg-customcards.deviantart.com… ]
I will say this, man; coming up with a souped up version of Suspend was unique. I never thought of having Traverse like that and you came up with a definition approach to it and I like it. At the very least, you put in "your end step" as opposed to "every end step." That would make it too strong but a well balanced card overall.
's Relic Hunter [ mtg-customcards.deviantart.com… ]
First up, using a Blink effect as the effect for Traverse is a cool approach. What really got me excited is Relic Hunter's first ability; "if you didn't cast it from your hand." The only downside of the effect is the legendary clause. Personally, I think you added that word because of the awesome art of Indiana Jones. May be a clause for a certain CMC and I think you might have something balanced.
Deepthought42's Akoum Raidcaller [ mtg-customcards.deviantart.com… ]
Now this one is perfectly balanced with your version of Traverse. Placed into hand would be a rare, maybe even uncommon. But "onto the battlefield" would send it up to mythic. Awesome job, Deep!
Deepthought42's Kabira Recruiter [ mtg-customcards.deviantart.com… ] and Magosi Peddler [ mtg-customcards.deviantart.com… ] and Sejiri Scout [ mtg-customcards.deviantart.com… ]
I guess when someone wishes to prove their ability works, they post 5 cards. For future reference, people, keep it 4 or under; writing analyzed reports for each one is time-consuming and laborious.
Kabira Recruiter: reduce the P/T to 2/2 and it would be better. After all, a 2/3 uncommon with your Traverse effect? In my opinion, it just overpowers it just tiny bit. All in all, a B effort.
Mahosi Peddler: a weaker but blue version of Relic Hunter but it works. An A- effort.
Sejiri Scout: not bad. A rare 1 costing 1/1 with your traverse along with unblockable? Each part is in balance. Well done.
Since there were only two competitors, choosing a winner was difficult to say the least.
Deepthought42 and Aurgelmir27, you two have done great work and I sure hope you two have abilities to see what others will make of them.
The September winner of the first Challenge Series is Deepthought42!
Nice work and go ahead with your ability word. Submit it as a card and I will start a new folder for the 2nd Challenge Series!

Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on you guys...
So, nearly a year since Tommo999 (https://www.deviantart.com/tommo999) accidentally killed the contests, which seemed to be most of activity for this group. Anyways, War of the Spark's Release Notes just dropped, and I found an example of the weird corner cases the rules have to adjudicate and how not to handle them. The reason for the subject title is that I found the latter in the former. Let me explain.
Here's a bullet from the card-specific notes for Bond of Passion:
"•In some rare cases, gaining control of the target creature may cause the second target to become illegal. As long as the second target is a legal target as Bond of Passion begins to resolve, before the
July Contest lets DO THIS
So this idea i think has NEVER happened and i want to give people a go. the challenge is simple;
I made a keyword for a set that i have been slowly building. and thought im about half way i have done MOST of the vampires i wanted to do and have finished using keywords that i was using, its now the basic balancing and basic cards that just fit in the set. so i wanna see what YOU guys would do with these keywords i used in my set(you only need to put 1 on the card but more can be on it):
1: Vampized
{param1}: If this creature isn’t a vampire, change the text of this creature by replacing all instances of one creature type with Vampire.
June Winner
And the winner with the only entry is ~Tommo999 (https://www.deviantart.com/tommo999).
Only make a comments:
Lian & Holder woulb be only use the ability "Partener" instead "Partener with ..." .
June Contest Partner
Thank you ~HeraldOfOpera (https://www.deviantart.com/heraldofopera) for choosing me as the winner of the previous month.
This month for the premiere of battlebond, the theme of the June contest will be "Partner".
Create a legendary card with partner equal to comander 2016 or a non-legendary card with "partner with" as in battlebond.
Extra points if they manage to make a non-creature card that uses any of these mechanics.
Notes.
The title of the letter should indicate who participates in this month, if this is not included, it will not be taken into account.
Give credit to the artist of the illustration (can be in the letter or as a link in the comment box). Otherwise, I will n
