Still not totally sure on the costing for this one but I'm always a fan of janky multiplayer cards.

Workposting, but I had an idea.

Black Jack, High Roller 3RR
Legendary Planeswalker - Jack
CARDNAME can't be damaged.
0: Each player exiles the top card of their library face-down. Any player may activate this ability.
0: Each player reveals all cards exiled with CARDNAME. The players with the highest total converted mana costs of the revealed cards may put one revealed card onto the battlefield under their control. Then each player puts all other cards exiled with CARDNAME into their owner's graveyards. Any player may activate this ability.
0: Each player puts all cards exiled with CARDNAME into their owner's graveyards. Any player may activate this ability.
1

He's a planeswalker to get around the rules baggage of 'a player may activate one, but only one, of these per turn'. Plus, seemed like a fun way to get a gambling-themed 'walker, even if it is, to a degree, just a glorified enchantment

e: man the text for this card extremely doesn't fit on a planeswalker.

Shout-out to Torchlighter. Apparently, I never added Fury of the Dracogenius to my list of favorites. I have now fixed that particular issue.

This is probably low hanging fruit but I wanted to both make a 4-mana red, do-nothing enchantment. And to address the issue of "fair" cards that the person casting them doesn't immediate get anything from doing so.

No Boots on the Ground,
Puny Mortals!

As a bit of a post script to the contest, I love "fair" abilities in games. Nowadays, I play a lot more boardgames than Magic, and I've been fascinated with games that have rules that taking an action lets every other player take that action. I'm currently obsessed with Roll for the Galaxy, where you only get to take one of the five actions if you or ANY OTHER player choose for that action to happen this turn. So, one of the most important things in this game is predicting what other people are doing and making sure to take advantage of all the actions.

Anyway, I'm glad that everyone seemed to "get" the spirit of the contest and turned out such good cards!



Alright, honorable mentions:

I was going to be supremely disappointed if someone didn't make this joke.


This would go right in my "Krazy Koinflip Khaos" deck, but alas, Wizards does seem to hate fun.




Third Place: WombatCyborg's Havoc Whirler

I feel it's a bit TOO aggressively costed for Red/Black, but I love the Rakdos feel where it's clear that it's fine with equal opportunity chain whirling.


Second Place: TheChirurgeon's Pitched Debate

The art is perfect, and mechanically representing a wizard slapfight as passive aggressively reorganizing all the spellbooks is great.


First Place: Nebalebadingdong's Common Knowledge


Elegant and "fair," with wonderful flavor text to boot. Delightful.

Sweet!

Let's say you sit down to play a game of magic (because you're a huge nerd). Its your first turn. You toss out your land and tap it. What do you toss on the battlefield!?

Turn One Drops

Make me any permanent type that can be played for a single mana. It can have other costs or ways to play it for more mana, but it must be fully playable at 1 mana on your first turn.

Criteria: Creative, interesting or silly comes first, with playable without being bonkers comes a close second.

Gurmag Angler variant. Probably unplayable as a 4/2 but probably too good as a 4/3.

More jank to stack in a deck built to screw with your opponents, and a ridiculous chump blocker that's probably too strong.

This might be stretching the rules a bit, but what about a fetch card that lets you search for a turn one drop?
