@Komandon - Black doesn't really get efficient enchantment removal without restrictions or drawbacks. You found a very original way for a drawback that makes it more of a mill card than a removal. I think it fits black well.
@TessaMTG - I think this card is way too powerful, but I really like the concept and that you brought Gravestorm back.

Since all of the cards had really original ideas yesterday, I feel like giving some extended commentary today.
@TessaMTG - Planeswalker ultimates are a good way to give powerful alternative win conditions, but if I understand it correctly, the effect here is pretty weak, because it only prevents "You win the game" effects, which is really niche.
@LandellXil0cent - Nice remix of aetherflux reservoir. I think this could have been cheaper, because energy is usually harder to accumulate than life.
@FrostBoss216 - This card was an instant favorite at first glance. Love the concept. But after thinking about it, I didn't see it doing anything other than preventing "You win the game" effects. Would it prevent your life points from hitting 0 or prevent you from having to draw from an empty library? I also think it would have made more sense to put the losing player into protective custody instead of the winning player.
@KarrotVr - Wanted to give you my vote for making me laugh, but in the end some other entries won me over.
@netn10 - A really cool concept. But I don't think a card can be colored and colorless at the same time.
@Komandon - Looks a bit like an Un-card remix of Shahrazad. Fun card.
@void_nothing - Interesting concept. The win effect is probably not that relevant if you don't excessively flicker that card.

(I wanted to make one mocking the meme Darth Vader riding Charizard but couldn't figure it out. Or a girl and her dog for a FMA reference but that is too dark. So not going for humor this time.)
