IIW: kindly attitudes.

ooft, this is very... law. This almost feels like a lock once you untap with it, as it entirely locks your opponent from playing spells on their turn? Lack of flying is a bit off too.

Look at target players hand. You may exile a nonland card from it. For as long as that card remains exiled, its owner may play it. A spell cast this way costs 2 more to cast.

IIW: White Hand Control or Countermagic

Neat. Exploring more of that design space, probably seems balanced, if a bit... unoriginal.

Instant (R)
Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard.
Objection — Whenever an opponent casts a spell, if its converted mana cost is greater than or equal to your life total, you may say "Objection!" and cast Motion to Dismiss from your graveyard. When you cast it this way, if Motion to Dismiss would be put into your graveyard this turn, exile it instead. (You still pay the costs to cast it.)

IIW: Six's antics after Wrenn leaves it behind

lol. Actually an interesting kind of Fateful Hour-esque mechanic (at least possibly if reworded/expanded).

Creatures can't attack you unless their controller pays 1 for each creature they control that's attacking you.
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, investigate unless that player pays 1.
1/3

IIW: Universes Beyond: Fallout

God I'd hate to play against this. This is probably about as many annoying taxes as you can slap on a single card. It does its job well, I guess, and it's probably balanced.

When Benalish Prosecutor enters the battlefield, exile up to one target creature that attacked this turn.
"Your honor, 'the best defence is a good offense' doesn't qualify this as self-defence."
3/3

IIW: Alter-egos from another timeline/multiverse

This... seems kinda good. Flash means you can play blocking havoc + exile a guy before it hits. Given its restrictiveness, maybe comparable to Ravenous Chupacabra but exile's good, and I don't think that thing has the best impact on metagames in the first place. Also similar to Lurking Deadeye and friends, but that usually requires a trade from somewhere else. Maybe if it was "that dealt [combat] damage this turn"?

Corrupt Attorney 1BB
Creature — Human Advisor (R)
When Corrupt Attorney enters the battlefield, choose one for each mana from a Treasure spent to cast this spell—
• Target creature gets -3/-3 until end of turn.
• Target player discards a card and mills a card.
• Target player draws a card and loses 2 life.
"We'll turn the thumbscrews until they're begging us to leave them alone."
2/2

IIW: Alter-egos from another timeline/multiverse

Boy this does nothing without Treasure and is very juicy with. Not sure if I see the flavour of all the abilities, but I do get the general gist.

Damage Reparations WB
Instant
For each creature an opponent controls that dealt damage to you this turn, create a treasure token. If you control an Advisor creature, create two of those tokens for each creature instead.

IIW: A social Construct as a card

Advisor tribal, oh my. It's an interesting spell but it kinda ends up just as a weird form of ramp with extra steps. While Treasure is fitting in these colours, the volume might be a bit much.

All lands gain "If this land entered the battlefield this turn, its controller sacrifices it at the beginning of their end step unless they pay 2".

Not in MY backyard.

IIW: Daily life in a fantasy city.

Interesting ramp hoser. It kinda turns every land into a Rupture Spire (or worse) so it probably doesn't play as badly as it reads against ordinary decks. Again, interesting.

Split second.
Counter target spell unless its controller reveals a card with same mana cost from their hand or graveyard. If that spell is countered this way, its controller can't cast spells with the same name for the rest of the game.
"I was hoping to come up with a question while I was objecting, Your Honor. I didn't."


IIW: Err, video games?

Yeah, this is... something. The revealing from graveyard adds a bit of tension to it, but this thing definitely feels a bit... hit or miss. The second clause has oddly less impact because if they can't reveal, it means they don't have the same spell in hand.

Mutual Settlement 2WW
Instant (R)
This spell costs less to cast if there are three or more creatures attacking you and/or a planeswalker you control.
Each player chooses up to three creatures they control, then sacrifices the rest. Remove all attacking or blocking creatures from combat and untap them. Exile Mutual Settlement.
"Our grievances are ruining both of us. How about we come to a compromise?

IIW: Alter-egos from another timeline/multiverse

reminds me of Settle the Wreckage but seems like, way worse, since you have to sac your own guys. The cheaper cost doesn't really mitigate; the only time it's good is if you're getting completely clapped and need a fog + board wipe.

IIW: A godzilla style treatment of cards from the upcoming innistrad sets.

I like the flavour mirroring. I somewhat like it and it can play interesting politics in multiplayer. There definitely has to be a less clunky way to word that first ability though.

Daily Grind
Sorcery (U)
Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a creature card from it. It perpetually gets -1/-1 and gains "Whenever this creature attacks, exert it."
