berryjon Here's what happened: You suggested a non-Tamiyo Kamigawa planeswalker. Both _person_ and I responded at the same time and offered different suggestions for the next card. My suggestion, a midrange-focused land, was completed by _person_, who repeated the suggestion of a token-only tribe legend. I completed that suggestion at the same time that _person_ completed my suggestion. So, we each completed the other's suggestion, which I noticed and changed my suggestion to the element card. Your card, Zoetic Manifestation (which does very impressively have three different possible states) completes _person_'s last suggestion. So, we are well caught up. I hope this explains what happened.
TLDR: _person_ and legendofa completed each other's challenges at the same time and didn't realize it.
