IIW: the universes within version of a universes beyond card you create

This is a neat blink-ish trick. I like that it creates a small, evasive creature, and also that if the token is removed before the player can activate it, the original creature is lost forever. Interesting tension and a cool departure from a Banisher Priest variant.

Well-Done feels like it should be red and then black/white hybrid. 3 to the face doesn't feel particularly BW to me here.
I like Guano Enrichment, though. Having a spell both ramp you and also fix your draws is pretty nice at 2 mana, and the color combo feels right here. I appreciate that the land you return isn't restricted to cards milled that turn, so you can rebuy a fetch land or a utility land from an earlier turn.

I'm not exactly sure that I understand the flavor here (I assume it's Mirrodin's/Zhalfir's suns?), but it's a powerful trade-off here. It's essentially a powered up Introduction to Annihilation with a casting restriction.

I like Amass here. Adding colors to the army feels kinda odd, but I get it from a flavor perspective. This feels like an appropriately scaled down Assemble the Legion.

IIW: Universes within versions of UB: Super Mario cards

This is a lot of charms. Each of them definitely fits the realm that it's from, but a lot of the modes seem pretty different from others in power level. I'm not sure that's an issue, but a couple charms also have modes that seem somewhat redundant (Gnottvold Charm having two modes that set p/t to 4/4 or make a 4/4 is the strongest example here). Some of these could maybe use some knob-turning, but I overall like the idea of each realm having a charm that evokes the themes the realm represents in a draft format.

IIW; Witchs and Warlocks

I'm generally wary of counterspells with flashback, because it's an onboard trick that feels bad to walk into, but this being a soft counter makes it feel better. I'm not sure how the flashback will play, but it's definitely an interesting take on a counterspell that I'm interested in trying.

Imoti's Command XGU
Sorcery {R}
Choose two —
• If you control a nontoken creature as you cast this spell, cascade.
• Create a 0/0 green and blue Fractal creature token. Put X +1/+1 counters on it.
• Creatures you control have base power and toughness X/X until end of turn.
• Draw X cards.

IIW: throw me a curveball

I like that this is a sorcery, because these modes scale quite well. The timing on cascading is a bit weird, but it's a concession to the card. I appreciate having the third mode as essentially a game-ending mode if you use it instead of a lot of durdling. I kinda wish that this somehow granted haste so that you could clock in with an enormous Fractal, but I'm not sure that's appropriate on this card.

Untap target creature and goad it. It gets +3/+3 and gains trample until end of turn.

IIW: Fruit

Goading your own creatures is a bit weird, since it essentially does nothing (unless you're casting it prior to combat on your turn). The colors there feel correct, but the effect is an odd pump spell.
I'm not a huge fan of vigilance and outlast. All of these abilities together are fine and on-color, but outlast making you choose between attacking or pumping is interesting, and adding vigilance just removes the decision entirely.

Harmonic Dissonance
Sorcery
Replicate 1
Target creature gets +1/+0 for each creature targeted by a spell named Harmonic Dissonance.
Copies of Harmonic Dissonance have "Draw a card."
"Eventually the cacophony of war became a beautiful melody with a bloody cost."


IIW: Chaos

I'd probably reword the second ability to "If this spell is a copy, draw a card." Otherwise, these copies technically grant each other the ability to draw cards (unless that's intended)! If you replicate that twice, should you expect to draw 5 cards?

Spiderbirth XRG
Sorcery (R)
Create X 1/2 green Spider creature tokens with reach and consume (When a creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature with consume that damaged it this turn). Each of them deals damage equal to its power to another target creature.
Ravenous spiderlings will gladly eat each other. Or anything else.

IIW: ,, or

This is a neat removal spell that feels both red and green. I'm not 100% on the scaling, but the tokens are all pretty small when they deal the damage, so I'm at least interested in taking it for a spin at this cost.

Lessons Learned UB
Instant (U)
Draw X cards, where X is the amount of life you've lost this turn, then discard that many cards.

IIW: A Dragon!

This is a nice, clean looting spell that scales based on something that you don't always have control over. I like the idea of this in a Death's Shadow deck, but it's also just great for casting after your opponent bonked you for a bunch of damage to find your out. The flavor here is also great, and it made me chuckle when I read it.
