New Challenge Every Day - August 22nd: Things working in reverse

[void_nothing]

Today's Challenge:
Things working in reverse - Laboratory Maniac, Rain of Gore

.::To Enter::.
In a single post:

• Name exactly two other players to vote for their entries for the previous challenge. (In the event that there are two or fewer entries that you are allowed to vote for, you may vote for only one.)

• Make a card that fits the current challenge.

• Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.

Each day we use the challenge of the previous day's winner. In the case of a tie, we'll use the IIW of the tied player who has least overall points. In case of a further tie, the IIW of the earlier poster will be used.

@Riria Your design is imbalanced and overpowered for an uncommon (the tokens will make more copies = exponential growth), but it's so clever of an idea, that I have to vote for it!

Anticyclone Elemental 3GG
Creature - Elemental (M)
~ can't be blocked by creatures with flying or reach.
If a player would draw a card, that player chooses a card in their graveyard and puts it into their hand instead.
If a card would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, put that card on top of its owner's library instead.
4/4

IIW: Split cards

LOL that's definitely unintended. I just straight up forgot to write "sacrifice it at the beginning of your next end step" about the token XD.
