Arclight Thunderbolt - (r/w)(r/w)
Instant - Tactics
Arclight Thunderbolt deals 4 damage to up to one target attacking creature, and 4 damage to up to one target blocking creature.

Arguably useless in in one-on-one, but has more interesting implications in multiplayer mode.

[void_nothing]

Nah, not useless, just less than aggressively costed. In EDH for example this seems like a lot more fun.

6/4

[OneAndOnly]

Plant the Flag -- 2R
Sorcery {U}
Untap target land and gain control of it until its owner plays a land.

See Lay Claim, above. I like the idea of temporary land theft better than land destruction (slightly griefer) and permanent land theft (even griefier). The question becomes, what's an acceptable "release" mechanism? Too difficult to accomplish (and Lay Claim might fall into this category) and it's just a differently-worded perma-theft. Too easy, or too costly, and it doesn't justify the expense.

Tactics with a teammate twist:

The Cavalry Arrives -- 2WW
Instant - Tactics
(Play Tactics only during combat, before damage.)
Each player on your team creates a 2/2 white Knight creature token with first strike and vigilance. You may assign them as attackers or blockers if able.

A Wing and a Prayer -- 2UU
Instant - Tactics
(Play Tactics only during combat, before damage.)
Each player on your team may choose up to one target creature they control. Put a flying counter on each creature chosen this way. Then, each player on your team may choose another creature. Each creature chosen this way loses flying until end of turn.

Unhallowed Ritual -- 2BB
Instant - Tactics
(Play Tactics only during combat, before damage.)
Each player on your team may choose a target they control. Each creature chosen this way gets +1/+0 and gains deathtouch and lifelink until end of turn.

Savage Might -- 2RR
Instant - Tactics
(Play Tactics only during combat, before damage.)

Territorial Advantage -- 2GG
Instant - Tactics

Anurid Invasion -- 3G
Sorcery {R}
Reach
Create a 4/3 green Frog Beast token with reach for each player on your team.

English is such a slippy language. The "obvious" intent is that, if you were playing 2HG, you would create two tokens, and your teammate would create none. But it's easy to read this in everyday language, creating a token *for* another player -- i.e., you create a token, and your teammate creates one, too.

[OneAndOnly]

Vaspar's Light -- WW
Instant - Tactics {U}
(Play Tactics during combat, before damage.)
Gain one life for each attacking creature. If this would double your life total or more, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature in combat you control.

"Double your life total or more" is a little tricky to word. If you are at three life, play this and gain four life, I want the last clause to come into play. Obviously. "7 life" is more than "double" 3 life. "If you gain life equal to or greater than your life total" sounds ... bizarre,

Creatures being "in combat" is a phrasing I've used for a very long time, yet WotC doesn't seem to have adapted it. It's a good replacement for "attacking or blocking creature," I feel, and leaves open the possibility that there might be creatures in combat doing ... something else. Mending wounds or baking cookies, perhaps.
