Today's Challenge: Cost reduction that isn't mana

.::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.

make an Un-card into a normal card

Votes: shullz, Ink-Treader

Hooray, the first time I won this! A few days ago I thought netn10 had it in the bag.

Votes: Ink-Treader, void_nothing
This isn't why I voted for those two, but if I were pedantic, their cards happen to be the only ones satisfying the condition of having base power greater than 10.

Today's challenge is weird, because most un-cards are parodies of existing cards or mechanics or would work as normal cards anyway.
This is me trying to find a way to make half mana/power/toughness work as a normal card:

Little Girl
() Creature — Human (C)
Kicker
If Little Girl was kicked, put a +1/+1 counter on her.
In the future, she may be a distinguished leader, a great scholar, or a decorated hero. These days all she does is play childish card games.
0/1

IIW: Weirds

Close one! GGs everyone and congrats shullz!

Sneakyface UUU
Creature — Efreet (Rare)
If Sneakyface is in your hand, you may cloak it by paying 0, as a sorcery. If you do, shuffle all face-down creatures you control and opponent chooses one of your face-down creatures. Reveal it. If it's Sneakyface, that player may exile it.
Flying
2/2

IIW: Very evocative name for Outlaws of Thunder Junction

Votes: netn10, void_nothing

Capture the Moment
Legendary Instant
(You may cast a legendary instant only if you control a legendary creature or planeswalker.)
Effects with "Until end of turn" and "this turn" end at the start of your next end step instead.
When given the chance to reunite with lost family, the Leonin took it.
