Submission Rules* Submit
no more than one card per person per challenge. You do not need to submit for all challenges if you don't want to, but of course you can't win if you don't compete.
* Submit your cards to me via this forum's messaging system. Submissions made after each week's deadline cannot be accepted.
* Each card you submit must have a name, a cost, a list of types, and the exact wording that should appear on the card. Also include a brief description of any special design considerations (e.g., Stash having a unique back), but do NOT include any other information, such as strategic commentary or examples about it would play.
* Although you must submit names for each of your cards, the names will not be listed on the voting ballots, so make sure your card's appeal does not depend on your choice of name.
* I will accept revisions to your contest entries provided they are submitted to me before the deadline. If you submit a revision to an entry you have previously submitted to me,
resubmit your revised card(s) in their entirety. That is, don't tell me "Oh, can you make that +2 Cards say +3 Cards instead?" Just resubmit the full card.
* Only submit cards that are your own design.
* You may submit cards that have been previously posted here in this forum, including those that have been refined by the community as a whole, provided you can still claim that the central conceit of the card -- and the majority of its final version -- is yours. This applies to cards
previously posted, however -- if your submissions aren't already posted on his board, please refrain from doing so until after the results have been announced.
* A single card might conceivably qualify for multiple challenges within this series. However, you may not submit the same card for more than one concurrent challenge. That is, if you have submitted a card to one challenge, you may not submit it to another challenge until the results of that first challenge have been announced.
* Do not disclose your submissions publicly, either in this thread or elsewhere

The deadline for this week's challenges is Monday, September 3, at 10am EDT.--
Challenge #13 - One-Shot CardObjective: Create a one-shot card. This is a card that trashes itself, returns itself to its pile, or sets itself aside permanently when played. The card must always do this when played; it can't, for example, only trash or return itself under certain circumstances, or if the player chooses a particular option. You may only submit a single card -- that is, you can't submit multiple cards that work together (such as Pillage and Spoils).
You may not include an event clause that undoes the effect of the trashing/returning. For example, "When you trash this, gain a copy of this card from the trash."
Official Examples: Feast, Embargo, Treasure Map, Island, Pillage.
Official Non-Examples: Mining Village, because you don't have to trash it when you play it. Horn of Plenty, because it only trashes itself if you use it to gain a Victory card. Hermit, because it only trashes itself if you don't buy something when it is in play. Madman, only because you'd need to submit Hermit as well, to specify how Madman cards are gained, and Hermit is ineligible. Spoils, for the same reason, and even though Pillage
is eligible, you can't submit multiple cards (Pillage plus Spoils).
