I'm going with a "four-faced" card.
My other twist is that Spring has already been printed as one half of a split card.

You lay this card and the other "domino" cards, connecting to each other like domino pieces.

IIW: you're late

[Riria]

Votes: OneAndOnly, dyd

So when I think "pauper playable" the imagine in my mind is of a card that is low complexity enough to be printed at common but not necessarily the appropriate power level for a common. This might not *exactly* be in line with Wizards design philosophy but it's how I approach the idea.

Rusty Scalpel 1
Artifact - Equipment (C)
Equipped creature gets -2/-0 and has first strike and wither.
Equip 0

Equip 1

IIW: Blue removal

[slimytrout]

void_nothing (this was very similar to my first idea for this challenge, but I couldn't think of a good execution), JovialJovian
hm: netn10 -- it's a super cool idea, but a) I don't quite get what "connect" means and b) Theory seems like a 3-mana draw (at least) 5.

Auriok Saber 4W
Artifact - Equipment (C)
Affinity for artifacts (This spell costs less to cast for each artifact you control.)
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has vigilance.
Equip 4W. This ability costs 1 less to activate for each creature you control.

HM: @netn10, that feels like an Un-mechanic and I am intrigued, but it is unclear how it's supposed to work with the reminder text given. What does connecting them do? In what zone do they connect? Without explanation, this is a Steamflogger Boss scenario, and I can't vote for it.

Brawler's Wraps 3

When Brawler's Wraps enters the battlefield, attach it to target creature you control, then that creature fights up to one target creature you don't control.
