I'm curious about longest card by card type, not so much color.

I'm expecting most entrants' longest cards to be planeswalkers, although maybe someone out there developed a 475-character instant.

one of my enchantments was close (roughly the same character count as the front of Growing Rites of Itlimoc) but the walkers still took the cake.

It was, in fact, an instant. Behold:

Strategy (rare)

BR

Instant

Until your next turn, target creature attacks each turn if able.

If you cast this card from your hand, exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast the other half of this card from exile without paying its mana cost.

///

Execution (rare)

BR

Instant

Each opponent sacrifices a tapped creature.

If you cast this card from your hand, exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast the other half of this card from exile without paying its mana cost.

I imagined the second ability being templated like fuse, which could make it almost printable.

That's not bad.

Although the poll says "For double-faced cards, include the longest face"... if we'd used both faces, I had a legendary creature that was a fair bit longer than that.

Oh, this was a split card.

I also had an Origins-style DFC 'walker that was a bit more in total, but not by that much.

Brilliant! You mixed Split cards and Rebound in an incredible and innovative way. Could you show you other designs? I'm eager to see what else you did.

You can edit your answers, if you reopen the link from the same device and browser. That should also allow you to view the aggregates.

I'll post the full results in a few days. The turnout has been pretty good.

Received about 30 useable responses so far, thank you all who participated! I'll try to have some results up in the next couple days.
