Today's Challenge: Non-mana flashback cost

.::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.

.::Scoring::.
void_nothing 10 (+4)
netn10 9 (+4)
Rithaniel 8 (+3)
Komandon 6 (+2)

Chalice of Borrowed Futures
Artifact {M}
, Exile the top card of your library: Add one mana of any color.
, Exile the top 2 cards of your library: Draw a card.
, Exile the top 3 cards of your library: Return target card from your graveyard to your hand.
Your opponents may play cards exiled with Chalice of Borrowed Futures during any of their turns, and they may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to do so.
When you bargain your future away for power in the present, somebody else may well end up with the fate that once would have been yours.

Trimbodranc's Sunken Spellbook 1uub
Legendary Artifact (R)
: Mill 5 cards. Put a page counter on each instant or sorcery spell milled this way. Each spell in your graveyard that has a page counter on it has flashback. To pay the flashback cost of a spell with a page counter on it, exile at least one land from your graveyard and pay life equal to half that spell's converted mana cost.
They say Trimbodranc knew precisely how deep to submerge his spellbook, such that a servant sent to retrieve it would drown just before reaching the surface.

IIW: 4-stage transform card. Double sided, and each side is a split flip.

And a Few Quotes

"Why are numbers beautiful? It's like asking why is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony beautiful. If you don't see why, someone can't tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren't beautiful, nothing is."
― Paul Erdős

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
― Stephen Jay Gould
