For Challenge # 112. What a mess I made for myself by taking Link's original challenge and giving myself extra constraints. Four of the tribes were tricky to translate through my lens, but 'create a keyword mechanic that allowed creatures from all five colors to be brought back from the dead' was really rough.
I think this got there, though. I specifically chose red to make sure this makes sense, but it works in my mind. The creature doesn't come back as a creature, so this feels a little closer to flashback, which is fine in all colors. I'm not a fan of using double-faced cards to do my dirty work, but it was the only way to turn a creature from the graveyard into an enchantment in play without dumping scads of reminder text on the card. Also, it let me turn a generic creature into a Legendary God when it returned, so that was cool.
Also of note: I named the card Grizzled Barber, then realized what kind of comment Vitenka would make, so I went back and made him a 2/2 Bear Artisan. I wouldn't mind seeing an Ursine humanoid in Magic, come to think of it.
