This is a contest. Hopefully the first of many, all culminating in a super epic final contest that will rival A Silly Contest in size and will probably ever. You will get grades and everything. The grades may or may not be slightly arbitrary but they will be there. Trust me.
Basically, I'll post these when I come up with a good criteria and have some free time in the near future to do grading.
This first criteria is cool and also maybe a little challenging. Razorborne would probably be excited.
Criteria
Design one cards, all with the silliest name. None of the cards may share any colors or card types. Your score this round will be the average score of all one of your cards.
You have until 5 minutes before Midnight EST on Saturday 7/25.
The funnier to say outloud the better. Two winners. One for actual card design. One for funniest (for me) to say outloud.

Some good examples cards I enjoy saying aloud... Jackalope Herd - Funny things Jorubai Murk Lurker - alliterations (ish) I dunno where this falls under, but you can't deny that "murk lurker" has a nice ring to it. Chains of Mephistopheles - A lot of syllables Taniwha - Short sounds for me to put emphasis on Crimbil, Boubuon. etc...

Unholy Banana Split Artifact - Food (U)
When Unholy Banana Split enters the battlefield, destroy target creature an opponent controls with no +1/+1 counters on it. When a creature devours Unholy Banana Split, that creature becomes a yellow Banana Demon and gains deathtouch. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)
OOH! I'm adding that you can submit two cards. One per category. BUT remember that both need to have fun to say (aka potentially ridiculous) names otherwise they are disqualified.

No... in hindsight, people might just make words and thorugh it on a vanilla sorcery.
Just one submission...

Runcible Spoon Instant Choose one - • Change the target of target spell with a single target. • Copy target instant or sorcery spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.
Perfect originality is overrated and often ugly. The best and most beautiful cards I've ever seen were clearly inspired by something else. Cards are not entirely unlike living organisms in this regard. All the good ones are a result of long evolution; the 'original' ones are either monocellular or mutant aberrations.

And here are the grades! I know it took a while, sorry, but there was far too much participation this time around.
Runcible Spoon wins funnest to say outloud. Unholy Banana Split wins card design.

While the designs were close, Runcible seems a bit overcosted to me. Even with the varietability (it seems overcosted to me). In hindsight I might be very undervaluing it, but at the same time it doesn't stop this nagging feeling that it's overcosted.
Unholy Banana Split might run into issues regarding devour. I think devour only affects creatures, but I think that's stupid and I obviously understood what you were going for, and I like what it does.

Also go cheer Silly on for a far superiorer contest. And more than likely far superiorerer grades.

I'm feeling generous so I'll comment... Did you know that wombats poop cubes! The more ya know...
The name I personally would've preferred if it were Quantum Phantom (word-end alliteration and all that). As for the ability, I absolutely love it, but it would never happen I do think having two really negative abilities is a bit much, but then again, you have a 25% chance of duplicating the thing. This thing would be killer in limited.
