The Finisher

The Great Designer Search 3 wrapped up this week, with the winner being announced tomorrow. And in keeping the competitors on their toes, according to Mark Rosewater the final #GDS3 Design Challenge was a Dark Ascension Meeting where we had to change Seance at the last minute. 3 finalists there, 3 hosts here. So, Great Designer Mics: what's your pitch to replace Magic's most memeable enchantment before it trolls out the door?
