The aim of the game is simple. The aim is to design a signpost uncommon that fits the brief of the previous poster. The brief consists of color pair, card type and archetype.

A signpost uncommon is a two-colored card that acts as a guide for limited archetypes in a set. For example, Risen Reef is a signpost uncommon for GU to be Midrange Elementals, or Heroic Reinforcements is a signpost sorcery for RW tokens.
Example
Show
Hide
Say the previous poster's brief was: UB Creature, Mill

Then I would design a UB creature that helps define a mill archetype in a limited format:

Memory Thief 1UB
Creature - Faerie Wizard
Flying
Whenever Memory Thief deals combat damage to a player, that player puts that many cards from the top of their library into their graveyard.
Whenever a land card is put into an opponent's graveyard from their library, draw a card.
1/3

Then I put the brief for the next poster to fulfill.
Let's get this started:
Design a WB creature for a blink archetype.
