Yeah. I don't think there'd be a good balance point. It doesn't matter for the eternal formats, where there's tutoring/animation which ignores the cost completely, and there's plenty of ridiculous behemoths to tutor for. But in standard, it probably can't be much more than 3/3 and still be fair, which makes it startlingly less impressive any other time.
One option would be to do smoething like "power and toughness equal to double the number of lands you control" which is always very impressive, but never a complete blow-out, although it doesnt' fit this challenge as neatly?
Is this for Challenge # 004?
For that reason, I considered making it smaller than 8/8. I'm not sure if there's a balance point of "fair" or not, but it's really just a concept creature.
This is for Challenge # 005, by the way.
For (((Challenge #005))).
Originally it didn't have the last ability, but I decided it needed it (large flier blockers are not red's stock in trade), even though that broke the word count. Red doesn't get many high-power fliers other than dragons, but I think it can get one or two.
And cards from me:
Eternal Guardian which inspired the challenge. (Note other cards in the cardset haven't been assigned rarities yet.) Leashed Lightning
Oh, good combination. The mana cost and creature type are just right for that (with or without enchantment). And "protection from permanents" is very shiny, without actually being overpowered.
Oh, that's great, I like both your cards. An obvious idea, but clearly both simple and rare. I remember the {} cost cards, and there ought to be a creature version, but I'd completely not thought of it.
The loss of suspend is balanced by extra creature-tutoring and -reanimation compared to that of the other {} spells.
ETA: In fact, they probably deliberately avoided it for that reason: this is probably broken with, eg, Green Sun's Zenith, if you can pay
for an 8/8 lifelink on turn 1, but that doesn't prevent it going into non-standard sets.
This was quite an interesting challenge. My entries are:
(((Field of Dreams))) and (((Avatar of Ideals))).
Not sure how balanced/good/broken either is but they are interesting ideas.
Made it a blanket ability that affects you & your opponents. This way it is part advantage/part disadvantage.
This was... challenging. I'm not sure how I fared, to be honest. I ended up with Woven Life and Ethereal Mysterieur.
For Challenge # 005.
