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.

Tiedra, the Rulebreaker - what card would you use

Format: EDH/Commander My favorite game ever is Celeste, so I just had to try my hand at a Madeline card!
I thiiink everything is formatted correctly? The dash ability could be pushed, but I just couldn't resist the flavor!

Delightfully Aged Tofu
A card that I had thought up for my Food-themed cube I draft with my friends. Mana rock with a conspiracy upside.

Is this even remotely balanced?
I am doing a custom magic night for my birthday and I wanted to add this card to my deck. I understand that’s it’s good at a minimum. Likely a staple of the color combo if it was real. But would it be busted to have to the point of making the game feel one sided? I feel like I may have to make it 5 mana or add pips to the cost but I like the idea of a generic casting cost.

I worry Dashie is overtuned and a flavor fail. Anyway, thoughts on these six?

Fulmination Laboratory
Day 50 of making a custom card every day. I have no idea where this lies balance-wise, but it's probably really strong (As I'm writing this I just remembered shivan reef exists).
