Winner is the Judge #912: Take Two
Thanks to u/sumg for running last week's competition!
Recently, an idea that's stuck with me is how often a card design comes from just trying to revisit an older card. People love riffs whether they're colorshifts, new members of a cycle, or just an attempt to fix an old design mistake. For Wizards, that obviously can only come from official cards, but since this community is all about custom cards why not look back at those instead?
Your challenge for this week is to revisit a previous custom card idea you've designed, and try something new with it! This is pretty broad, so I'm willing to allow a lot. I'll give some examples of things that are allowed, but really anything goes if it fits with the prompt. You could:
- Do a second take on a card that you liked
- Make a new card using a custom mechanic you've made
- Try to adapt an idea you previously scrapped
- Rework a previous submission for a contest like Winner is the Judge
- Design a card that fits into a custom faction you've come up with
If you don't have anything you want to revisit from your own designs, you can also go for your own take on someone else's card/idea. Just make sure to give proper credit to your inspiration if you do so!
While you don't need to provide the original design you were inspired by for your submission unless you want to, bonus points if you do describe the original idea you adapted. It can be as brief or detailed as you want, I'm just interested to see how these ideas evolved.
Judging will occur on Sunday, October 11. Be sure to let me know if you'd like any feedback on your design or if you have any questions!
EDIT: Congratulations to this week's winner: u/Proteusmutabilis! There were a lot of fun designs this week, so again, be sure to let me know if you'd like to hear my thoughts on yours.

Defy Causality
It's [[stifle]], but you can't cast it unless you have both targets, but then you can 2-for-1 your opponent.

Some of the abilities could probably have higher mana costs

Earnest Confession
Day 53 of making a custom card every day. Inspired by Bridge from Below to make a card that didn't actually do anything when cast, this time in sorcery form.

Staples in Specific Deck Archetypes: Week 38 - Please comment a vote!
This week, (which is actually week 39, my bad!) the challenge was to design a card that would be a staple in a particular deck archetype, but would be considered a bad card in any other kind of deck. "This one's for you" type challenge. Please comment which card you think deserves the win! You can vote using any metric, whatever makes you want to vote for it.
The archetypes in mind are:
- Dragon reanimator/graveyard recursion (like [[Teval, the Balanced Scale]])
- Wubrg mana filter tribal
- Superfriends
- Dimir clash (like [[Marvo, Deep Operative]]
- Full party
We always appreciate the feedback, and if you comment please state which card you want to win the weekly challenge!

Format: Cube (Rarity Doesn't Matter) The Ageless Witch
Yes, I know, this card goes infinite with a ham sandwich. The cube in which this is played does not have mana abilities that make multiple mana, and it also does not have any activated abilities that untap creatures.
