I like how differently this plays in a two player game and a multiplayer game. I probably wouldn't play this in a two-person game, but would be all for the (minor) chaos that ensues in a four-player one!

Dispatch Life 1U
Instant
Counter target creature or planeswalker spell. It's owner creates 1/1 blue Spirit token with flying.

IIW: Arcane is Back baby

I like this as a sort-of Swan Song variant that leaves something small behind for the opponent's troubles.

Owl's Well 1U
Artifact {U}
Owl's Well enters the battlefield with three feather counters on it.
T, Remove a feather counter from Owl's Well: Add U
When there are no feather counters on Owl's Well, sacrifice it. If you do, draw a card, then create a 1/1 blue Bird creature token with flying.

IIW: A card with flavor text.

This is a really cool mono-blue mana rock that has a bit of Gemstone Mine flavor to it.

IIW: The wolves are at the door.

I like the series of options here! That said, Spiders are historically 1/2, and while I appreciate that all of the options have the same total power+toughness, it's a bit jarring to see for some reason.

Biomantic Breakthrough UG
Instant (R)
Create a token that's a copy of target creature with mana value 3 or less.
"Truly we have mastered life itself." -- Prime Speaker Vannifar


IIW: Super old mechanics

I'm sure there's some way to break this, but I don't know what it is. It's definitely cool!

Veteran Duelist 1W
Creature — Human Warrior (U)
Vigilance
Veteran Duelist enters the battlefield with a shield counter on it.
When Veteran Duelist enters the battlefield, target opponent creates a 2/1 white Human Warrior creature token.
"Have at thee!"
3/2


IIW: Player counters (experience, poison, etc)

I like the Hunted variant, and this is a great mix of abilities. I'm also sorta surprised this name hasn't already been used.

End Swell 2UUB
Legendary Enchantment {M}

IIW: "I'm a professional. You can't fool me."

This doesn't cost 2 mana, but is definitely a cool variant on Tidal Influence.

Conqueror's Song 1w
Enchantment (R)
Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, you may pay 1W. If you do, create a white enchantment token with "Creatures you control get +1/+1."

iiw: play with the top card of library revealed

I really like how this compounds, and that it's also gated by requiring mana and getting into the red zone. Solid design overall!

One of these submissions is not like the others....

Chiropteran Predation
1{B}
Sorcery (U}
Cleave 3{B}{B}
Create three 1/1 black Bat creature tokens with flying, [then sacrifice two creatures].


IIW: Bizarre dinosaurs

I'm not a huge fan of cleave, but both of these modes seem reasonable and I appreciate the flexibility, especially in black decks that will want to be sacrificing creatures anyways.

Reset B
Instant (U)
Exile target creature an opponent controls. Its owner creates a tapped token copy of it.
Aftermath
Origin 1U
Instant (U)
Return target creature you control and target creature an opponent controls to their owner's hands.

IIW: finally complete

This is a sorta convoluted removal spell, but I appreciate the out-of-the-box design for the challenge, and it's definitely got flexibility.

Aggressive Sprouting Xgg
Sorcery
Create a 1/1 green saproling creature token, then distribute X +1/+1 counters among creatures you control.
Thallid populations would overfill the soil with strengthening agents, then use the growths to enhance themselves. - Sarpadian Empires, Volume VI


IIW: Hive Mind Spiders

Scaling spells are always great, and the ability to just make a huge Saproling on an empty board is a cool mode, as is this functioning as a sort of Verdurous Gearhulk variant.

Next: play with the top card of library revealed

[Juancu]

Can we do "look at the top card of your library any time" ? Playing with the top revealed has been phased out in favor of "look anytime" due to the awful effect that kinda-perfect information has on the game. From pro play (complete information extra long decision making) to casual "Oh! no! I forgot he had that removal! Now I feel dumb "

This is a good point. I will here attempt to make a card where the old wording is relevant in the world with the new technology:

Shared Visions 1UUU
Enchantment {M}
Play with the top card of your library revealed.
Your teammates may play lands and cast spells from the top of your library. Spells cast this way have assist.

IIW: a personal stylistic choice

[chetoos]

Disciple of Kruphix 2GU
Enchantment Creature - Human Wizard
You may look at the top card of your library at any time.
t: Exchange a card in your hand with the top card of your library.
Whenever you play a land or cast a spell, you may reveal the top card of your library. If it shares a type with the played card, put that card into your hand.
2/4

IIW: The wolves are at the door

[Ulka]

Kobold Spy R
Creature - Kobold Rogue (R)
Play with the top card of your library revealed.
You may cast Trap spells from the top of your library.
If the top card of your library is an Instant, it is a Trap in addition to its other types and has "If an opponent drew three or more cards this turn, you may pay 1R rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
1/1

IIW: Traps

[spacemonaut]

Collector of Arts 1WW
Creature — Rhino Monk
Play with the top card of your library revealed.
At the beginning of each combat, put a flying counter on Collector of Arts if the top card of your library has flying. The same is true for first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, reach, trample, and vigilance.
: Exile the top card of your library.
3/3

IIW: Player counters

[Mergatroid_Jones]

Litigation Angel 2WW
Creature- Angel (M)
Flying
Play with the top card of your library revealed.
Your opponents can't cast spells or play lands that share a card type with the top card of your library unless they pay 4.
4/3

I feel like something like this existed, but I couldn't find it...

IIW: A book, library, or librarian

[NinjaCaterpie]

Future Sike 1{U/R}
Creature - Goblin Shaman (R)
Play with the top card of your library revealed.
If you would draw a card, you may seek a card instead.
"Hmm, don't like this future..."
2/1

The information burden of the old wording isn't relevant because Arena tracks it for you (right?)

IIW: Your favourite recent mechanic
