EDIT: This wouldn't be in the reminder text, but if you start to cast an EXAFORETELL card and realize that you can't/don't want to, you lose the game, because otherwise you'd be able to start casting, rewind, and use it as a free way to shuffle your library. If you Mindslaver someone else and try this, you lose the game as the player in control, not them.

Now I'm just imagining gigaforetelling a card and getting caught with your pants down when your opponent casts Final Fortune and just immediately skips to the end of the next turn without doing anything.

Every time you cast a gigaforetold card, it strengthens the power of future gigaforetold prophecies.

Opinions

Hide
Koolkoal: All the Bulbasaur's line doesn't seem to fit very well both in the color pie and with the card themselves. The effect of the first two belongs to blue, while all the pinging seems more something a red card would do, since green tends to "fight" other creatures, with some exceptions with flying creatures and old cards. Charmander is a classic dragon, but I like the way it evolves. At last, I don't like that Squirtle's line is just a bad, uninspired version of Charmender's. It doesn't even get the cools keyword abilities the others have!

NinjaCaterpie: Oh, the Shapeshifter of equipments! I think that these three cards could stay together on a single face with some smart wording and costing. I like the versatility of the card overall, but I'd leave monstrous rotating prisms for something more complex. :P

Megiddo: I like that the outer faces unlock the inner face: it feels like something mystic. In limited, the epiphany will probably never come, but I like that it still is a solid card due to its versatility. Since the work you have to do to finally cast the Sphinx, I wouldn't be so shy in making it a 4/4 for 2UU, even if the value is already high when it hits the battlefield: I wouldn't be surprised if this could be even a 5/5 in a hypothetic real print, to make it an efficient finisher.

Ulka: Oh, a return to the original DFCs! I like that there's no way back from the ultimate form from a flavour perspective, but I really think that Kvistur wants to do too much. I don't bother the pumping effect, but a single sided Wheel of Fortune plus being virtually free might overwhelm your opponents. I'm not really a fan of the drain effect of the Terror too, that makes me think of black more than the gruul colors.
With some fine tuning, this could be a really cute, ehrm, triple faced card.

Mergatroid_Jones: Wait, where is my PRISM. Of course, this would be a really cute way to hit nostalgia in an un-set. Like the idea, like the chosen cards (Blastoderm? crazy.), like less the "laziness" as a CF entry! :P

Sporegorger_Dragon: Woah, woah, woah! We've gone full Ugin here! Two things that stick out immediately to me: the first, 'Ugin, the Ascendant' is incredibly packed with text and it would hardly fit in a normal card face so, unless the unfolded part is some kind of scroll, you should probably do a word count check. The second, is that when you have the Newly Sparked, you probably don't really bother to upgrade it once again, since it's already incredibly strong (ultimate after one turn, while creating 2/2 for defending himself?). I mean, you are probably fine with the 4/4 flying dragon that comes down on turn two/three already!
Overall, in my opinion, a triple faced card that wants to be too sensational.

Cythare: a very cute idea that could probably be printed as a double faced card too, with the aid of a custom frame (on each side, one of the instant modes combined with the relative creature). I like that this preserved some of the original Warewolves' flavour and that this can be exploited both by you and your opponent. The Mage-Eater is a relentless hate card and the only flaw that I can see, is that it's a bit too efficient: you counter their spell and get a 3/3 that continuosly grows and deals heavy damage to it. If they want to deal with it by using its "weakness", they need to cast two spells and pay 4 life for it, and then watch your counterspell getting back in your hand! The Beta is a fine, more balanced, card.
Verdict

Hide
The favor is split between Cythare and Megiddo. I think I'll give the victory to the first, because of the semplicity of his idea, even if Megiddo used better the possibilities given from the three faces.

I would say that it's one word, similar to how "Add RRR" would be two words. Even though you say them as distinct words, I'd argue it's a Magic-ese compound word.

EDIT: I feel like maybe I should clarify this - even though you say "one one" like two words, they don't have the same meaning without each other. You can't say "target creature gets +3 until end of turn". In a different vein, any number of mana symbols should be one word because each combo has a unique meaning and also I don't like the idea of just adding a symbol to consider something a change of word count.

so for clarity "1W,T: Gideon's Buddy gets +1/+1 and first strike until end of turn" counts as twelve words, right?

(Tap symbol is a word separate from the mana cost, the whole mana cost is one word, CARDNAME counts as one word even if the name is multible words, p/t is always one word, and first strike is two words, but lifelink and jump-start are each one word.)

1W
T
Gideon's Buddy
gets
+1/+1
and
first
strike
until
end
of
turn.

Is all that correct?

I agree that that sentence is twelve words for all of the reasons that you describe.

One could use the argument that "first strike" is one word because it has a specific Magic meaning using similar logic to my p/t statement but this is my challenge and it is two words to me.
