Squander {1}{B}{R}
Sorcery (U)
Target player sacrifices a permanent chosen at random.
I like this a lot and it's not even
that strong for such a, well, strong effect. That may make no sense.

Scour the Archives {B}
Sorcery (C)
Each player puts a nonland permanent card chosen at random from their graveyard on top of their library.
Flashback {1}{U} (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)
Misinformation reference I see? A favorite bizarre old-school card of mine. I dig this but the flashback feels more green than it does blue. (A thought: "nonsorcery" instead of "nonland permanent".)

Erratic Time Machine {4}
Artifact (M)
~ enters the battlefield tapped.
{4}, {T}, Exile ~: Flip a coin. If it comes up heads, take an extra turn after this one. If it comes up tails, shuffle your hand and graveyard into your library, then draw seven cards.
A basically perfect card in every way.

Lucky Dubloon {2}
Artifact – Treasure (C)
When ~ enters the battlefield, scry 1 and gain 1 life.
{T}, Sacrifice ~: Add one mana of any color.
This Treasure is also a little like a Food and Clue!

Argument from Emotion {2}{U}{R}
Sorcery (U)
As an additional cost to cast this spell, discard X cards.
Draw X cards, then draw two cards.
"Draw X plus 2 cards"?

Persistent Pyromancer {U}{R}
Creature – Elemental Wizard (U)
Spells and abilities you control are not countered for having no legal targets.
Whenever you cast a spell with one or more targets, scry 1.
3/2
I really want to love this one but the static ability is
so niche and I don't know if it makes something fundamental not work. But man what a beautiful idea antifizzle is.

Heroku's Fall {2}{U}{B}{B}{R}
Sorcery (M)
Draw a card. Exile your library and graveyard. Put your hand on top of your library in a random order. For the rest of the game, whenever you draw a card, put a card you own from exile and a card you own that's not in the game into your hand.
I'm not sure if the risks involved make this a
not broken card. It's probably not as good as
Doomsday being twice the CMC. "Limited number of draws left" is always compelling.

Think on Your Feet {U}{R}
Instant (U)
As an additional cost to cast ~, discard a card.
Exile the top four cards of your library. Play any number of those cards.
Sure. It's only two net cards and this is the weakest version of impulse draw.

Creation {G}{G}{W}{W}
Creature – Incarnation (R)
When ~ enters the battlefield, you may exile a permanent card you own from outside the game.
Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, you may cast a permanent card you own from exile. If you do, it costs {X} less to cast, where X is the amount of damage dealt.
4/4
One-shot, but the effect is powerful if you
do get the unblocked hit in. Sure.

Grueling Restoration {W}{B}{G}
Sorcery (R)
Choose up to two —
• Create two colorless 0/4 Wall artifact creature tokens. You lose 4 life.
• Sacrifice a creature. You gain 8 life.
• Return this spell to its owner's hand.
This is grindy but interactive enough and varied enough to be fun.

Box of Bugs {4}
Artifact (R)
When ~ enters the battlefield, create four 1/1 black Insect artifact creature tokens with flying and lose 4 life.
{2}, {T}, Sacrifice a black Insect: Create two 1/1 green Insect artifact creature tokens.
I'm not sure I get the flavor.

Corrupted Cache {2}{B}{G}
Enchantment (R)
When ~ enters the battlefield, choose two cards from your graveyard and exile them and the top two cards of your library in a face-down pile. Shuffle that pile.
At the beginning of your end step, put the top card of the exiled pile into its owner's hand or lose 1 life.
The actual get-cards ability here is worded oddly but the card overall is fair.

Darkheart Mystic {B}{G}
Creature — Elf Mystic (U)
When ~ enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a card named Elvish Doomsayer and/or a card named Elvish Visionary, reveal them, put them into your hand, then shuffle your library.
{B}{G}, Sacrifice an Elf: You gain 2 life. Each opponent loses 2 life.
2/2
Is being able to get two
different specific cards too pushed compared to the usual
Squadron Hawk type ability?

Masked Wanderer {3}{G}
Creature — Shapeshifter (C)
Changeling (This card is every creature type.)
When ~ enters the battlefield, choose a creature type, then mill four cards. You may return a card milled this way from your graveyard to your hand if it is a land card or a card of the chosen type.
2/2
Totally reasonable.

Harbinger of Frost {3}{U}{U}
Creature — Giant Wizard (C)
Whenever ~ or a creature named Harbinger of Flame enters the battlefield under your control, tap target creature an opponent controls. That creature doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.
4/4
I'm assuming the other Harbinger does
Shock? I do like the Surtland giants and their elemental connections.

Seething Gildsmith {1}{R}{W}
Creature — Dwarf Artficer (U)
Whenever you cast a spell that is a Dwarf, Equipment and/or Vehicle, create a Treasure token.
You may sacrifice a Treasure rather than pay the equip cost or crew cost of an artifact you control.
3/2
Great Limited signpost.

Raging Battle-Axe {B}{R}
Artifact – Equipment (U)
When ~ enters the battlefield, you may attach it to a Berserker creature you control.
Whenever a Berserker creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may attach ~ to it.
Equipped creature gets +2/+1 and has haste.
Equip {3}
Not that Berserkers are some formidable tribe but this looks quite strong.

Eternal Companion {1}{W}{U}
Creature — Wolf Spirit (U)
When ~ enters the battlefield, draw a card.
When ~ dies, exile it. You may cast it for as long as it remains exiled by discarding a land card in addition to its other costs.
3/1
Retrace-alike? Sure.

Ebrel, Godtouched Mentor {G}{W}
Legendary Creature – Elf Cleric (R)
Creature spells with power 5 or more cost {1} less to cast.
Noncreature spells and creature spells with power 4 or less cost {1} more to cast.
2/2
That second ability is easy to hate, but at least it's only a
1 penalty.

Heroic Compeer {G}{W}
Creature – Elf Warrior (U)
Whenever another Warrior enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on that creature and a +1/+1 counter on ~.
2/2
Mini-
Juniper Order Ranger. Looks alright.
