Edit: Needed to fix to the correct order of mana.

6/6

Vigilance, Shroud, Undying

Final Strike (When this creature leaves the battlefield, you may exile a nongreen creature on the battlefield)

Quicken (When this creature is declared as an attacker, untap it. There is an additional combat phase after this phase. Exile this creature at the end of turn)

If I could edit this, I would remove the Vigilance and Shroud and reword it to "Exile this creature at the end of any second combat phase in a turn."

Artifact - Fortification

Equip - 1

X: Fortified land becomes a X/X Fortress artifact creature until end of turn. It's still a land.

Simple card, artifact set.

Fortification is an artifact type that was done for one card in Future Sight, Darksteel Garrison, basically working with lands like equipment does with creatures. LemonMeringue's card should have had Fortify rather than Equip (same concept, land rather than creature). It doesn't change itself into a creature, it makes the land it's attached to a X/X Artifact Creature Land - Fortress until the end of the turn. As far as I can see, other than needing to change Equip to Fortify, that card would work fine under the rules, though I could be wrong, and welcome correction if I am.

Fear is dead, deathtouch seems kind of pointless on something like this, rather it be something like wither or infect.

Fear of course should be Intimidate..

3/3

Infect seems too powerful to me on something like this. My other thought was {B}: protection from white until end of turn.

These cards did NOT make the first cut:
Spoiled Child – ikris – I just find this to be slightly too powerful. A fun card – definitely a niche card. Great for EDH. Just doesn’t do enough for me.
Bountiful Fields – mattw – I like the design, but still find this slightly too powerful since the lands can be tapped.
Lotus Grove – Jazaray – Just too powerful.
Wraithling – rockondon – I just don’t know if it DOES enough. I would love a Black and White morphling variant, just don’t know if this pops like Morphling. Thornling just killed the series for me, mainly because it doesn’t untap. I liked Torchling, but it didn’t have much evasion.
Standard Of Numbers – Myy – I like the tribal thing. This would make spirits even better haha. My issue is this: +2/+2 and haste when the 3rd one comes in. Just seems slightly undercosted, maybe by one. This one was a tough one to cut. For sure.
Grafted Phoenix – Blackmage – This one was a tough one to cut. I love the design. But what kept irking me was the three different types of counters, which would get very very confusing.
Deranged Scientist – Daner – Still find this card, without echo, to be really powerful.
Laytazorar, The Sanctifier – revenger – I just find this card way too powerful, even with four colors.
Ctcffy – Angelofdread – No mana cost.
Lacro, the Fallen One – sharpmaster – No mana cost.
Stupefy – Havoc Demon – Just don’t think the mana cost is right for being an anti-blue card.
Delve Into the Core – Tragedy – Just think that the hellbent not having a card in hand makes it a little too limited.
Charred Skeleton – Sovarius – I love this card. I really love the design. It just seems to undercosted for me. It just seems too good at it’s cost.
Drogskol Portal – totalkoaz – Another card with some potential, but I still think it’s too powerful for it’s cost.
Mishra, Brother Scorned – southparker 2002 – This was a tough cut as well. The issue to me is the + ability being the Workshop ability. Just seems really, really good.
Destroy – chocoman – I love the simplicity. I do.
Engineered Amnesia – fluffy cow -
Engineered Amnesia 2 – schwangzilla – Templating might be an issue, but other than that, just kinda meh to me.
Sun Wukong, The Monkey King – junichi – Love the flavor. The problem is, in it’s original entry, just a little too powerful in my mind.
Shubu, the Protector – OGB – Like the idea, but find this to be a little undercosted, and slightly powerful.
Monstrous Caterpillar – LaMoriaGali – Love the idea, just don’t know if it was executed properly.
Axis and Allies – MagicPatty – Love the flavor. Absolutely do. Just don’t know if it does enough for me.

After the above cuts, I got it down to 12. This is getting tough.

Serine, Ice Queen – Lord Crovax – I find this card to be extremely, extremely balanced. The more I look at it, the more I like the second ability. Seems more agro since at sorcery speed. Win an attrition war.
Serra’s Nightmare – Almost Grown – Love the theme here. Very balanced. To me, just might not have the ‘wow’ factor.
Deviant Thief – BoT – Love the card. The more and more I look at it, the more elegant it gets. My only issue is that I believe it to be a little undercosted without you losing life.
General Khurzog – coasterdude84 – Another GREAT design. Love the flavor, love the design.
Living Fortress – LemonMeringue - We all known it would be fortify, not equip. I really like this idea. Good creature. However, I would fully expect a fortification to have defender, more like Shifting Wall.
Undying Sliver – Thanos – Love this one too. Definitely could see this eventually getting printed, but giving all slivers undying might be CRAZY GOOD.
Nissa, Slave of Bolas – skizzikmonger – Absolutely think this might be the best first round card. Love the balance, love the throwback abilities.
Pithing Gnat – WeedIan – Love the ability for anyone to do it.
Unintended Catastrophe – enduring ideal – Absolutely love this card. Definitely makes the game very interesting.
Land of the Lost – AGO – I really think this card is original, but because it’s so fresh, I really have no way of determining it’s power level. Personally, I think it should be Legendary, but alas, don’t know what else to make it less/more powerful. Seems balanced since only hits creature spells, and definitely is good with flavor.
Jax the Healing Druid – toorima99 – I really like this card. The problem is, toorima, I did specifically say don’t edit your post, even if it is just for the creature type.
Pike Sharpener – JesusChristMD – Love the new take on jackal pup. Getting really nitpicky, but definitely think it should say combat damage. But I digress.

Man, this is gonna be tough. Gotta maneuver the list down to 8 from 12.
The final 8 are:
Nissa, Slave of Bolas – skizzikmonger
General Khurzog – coasterdude84
Unintended Catastrophe – Enduring Ideal
Pike Sharpener – JesusChristMD
Pithing Gnat – WeedIan
Serine, Ice Queen – Lord Crovax
Living Fortress – LemonMeringue
Undying Sliver – Thanos

Congratulations to the Final 8.

For the next round, there will be a few guidelines.
For your submissions, here are the following guidelines.
Cards that were previously created for round 1 that would fit the guidelines CANNOT be reused.
Card 1: Make an MULTICOLORED Uncommon sorcery/instant with a flashback cost. This has never been done in Magic.
Card 2: Make a RARE enchantment with a triggered ability (At beginning of upkeep [Defense of the Heart], when a creature attacks [Lost in the Woods], etc.)
Card 3: Make any card you like, any color, etc. There are no restrictions for this card.

Psychic Seizure - UB
Sorcery

Target player discards a card and loses 2 life. Draw a card.

Flashback 3UB

Thanks for running this thread.

Also if I didn't edit Jax, he would be slightly overpowered imo. Thus adding the legendary part.

Card 2:
Demonic Rage
2BR
Enchantment
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice
a nonland permanent. Demonic Rage deals
damage to each creature and each player
equal to the sacrificed permanent's converted
mana cost.
