Not un enough, I suspect, but: ­Always Time for Brute Force and Legends of the Past Returned.

Ah here we go: Stoon is my first idea, made much more unlike.

And.. this doesn't even slightly answer the expanded description of the challenge, does it?

Suppose wizards are finally printing a third un- set and have solicited submissions.

They would particularly like something parodying the tend that many players have vocally commented on, to higher powered creatures in standard magic.

It can parody the tendency generally, or be a parody of a specific card or cycle. They'll consider printing a cycle of un-titans, but the player base should see them as funny and enjoyable, not annoying :)

The cards themselves don't have to be creatures (although that's the obvious interpretation): they can be parodies of other recent overpowered cards (eg. inkmoth nexus), or sorceries that complain about being eclipsed, or anti-mythic cards, or reference overpoweredness in some other way.

The cards should be playable in casual and un-limited. That means, ideally they'd be a bit less strong than the actual titans, but look even more overpowered, but there are other interpretations (eg. more powerful but cost more, or more powerful, as long as the player can perform some difficult feat of dexterity)

I totally failed this, but can I remind us that if you play one of these on the kitchen table, it may or may not provoke "whoa, awesome", but should be LESS broken than titans, not more (unless it's sufficiently funny to end the game right then)?

Created Intangible Saint. Later I created Equal Footing. May have another go in a little bit too.

I created Kobold Den Mother which by itself may not seem so over the top but with cards like Coat of Arms, Gauntlet of Power, etc out there....
