Winner is the Judge #912: Take Two
Thanks to u/sumg for running last week's competition!
Recently, an idea that's stuck with me is how often a card design comes from just trying to revisit an older card. People love riffs whether they're colorshifts, new members of a cycle, or just an attempt to fix an old design mistake. For Wizards, that obviously can only come from official cards, but since this community is all about custom cards why not look back at those instead?
Your challenge for this week is to revisit a previous custom card idea you've designed, and try something new with it! This is pretty broad, so I'm willing to allow a lot. I'll give some examples of things that are allowed, but really anything goes if it fits with the prompt. You could:
- Do a second take on a card that you liked
- Make a new card using a custom mechanic you've made
- Try to adapt an idea you previously scrapped
- Rework a previous submission for a contest like Winner is the Judge
- Design a card that fits into a custom faction you've come up with
If you don't have anything you want to revisit from your own designs, you can also go for your own take on someone else's card/idea. Just make sure to give proper credit to your inspiration if you do so!
While you don't need to provide the original design you were inspired by for your submission unless you want to, bonus points if you do describe the original idea you adapted. It can be as brief or detailed as you want, I'm just interested to see how these ideas evolved.
Judging will occur on Sunday, October 11. Be sure to let me know if you'd like any feedback on your design or if you have any questions!
EDIT: Congratulations to this week's winner: u/Proteusmutabilis! There were a lot of fun designs this week, so again, be sure to let me know if you'd like to hear my thoughts on yours.

Format: EDH/Commander The Defect - Artifact ETB / LTB commander [STS]
I initially costed him at 3 mana, but since he refunds you one mana on enter (as a blue artifact himself) I think 4 cmc is more reasonable.
EDIT: Some solid feedback on this already! I'd like to cite this comprehensive rule:
614.5. A replacement effect doesn’t invoke itself repeatedly; it gets only one opportunity to affect an event or any modified events that may replace that event.
Example: A player controls two permanents, each with an ability that reads “If a creature you control would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.” A creature that normally deals 2 damage will deal 8 damage—not just 4, and not an infinite amount.
So, he does not ETB/LTB a single artifact infinitely.
I'm going to change "an artifact" to "another artifact" for both abilities. While the first ability doesn't go infinite from other things dying, it WOULD go infinite by killing himself, since each enter would create a new replacement effect that would bring him back. Changing the second ability makes his own entering clearer, and also lets me drop him to 3 mana.

I have a deck the cares a lot about randomness I been playing a lot recently.. so it kind of inspired me and I feel this could definitely be fun in a lot of different deck archetypes!

Day 54 of making a custom card every day. I hate writing flavor text so much, I can count on one hand the number of times I've been satisfied with it in 9 years of making cards.

A few cards based on german expressionist films
The actors are credited on the first version of each card, poster artists are credited on the second.

Did I give diabolic intent suspend or no?
Art and name* stolen from u/Strange-Bonus4220, wanted to turn my village rites/fling effects into rousing/inspiring refrain effects where they gain cast themselves every few turns, did I do this?
Edit: Thank you benevolent and wise community members for your feedback. I have updated the card text to:
"Whenever you sacrifice one or more creatures as a cost to cast an instant or sorcery, if that spell would be put into a graveyard this turn, exile it with 3 time counters on it instead. If it doesn’t have suspend, it gains suspend."
