Bugaboo
(He's the one with the lantern  Art by the awesome Nils Hamm)
One night in the gloomy Shadowmoor, a little ouphe was wandering aimlessly. Tired from all that walking, he
sat on a rock to rest for a bit and... lo and behold! The sky was filled with beatiful, gleaming stars!
He never saw a wonder like that before, as he used to stay hidden from danger down in the forests' undergrowth. He remained there for a couple minutes in an awestruck state.
But...when he stood up from the rock he noticed that something was off. Where were the creepy woods he knew?
Where did that path came from? Odd! But to a simple soul like Bugaboo, things like his whereabouts didn't matter more than
a little bit. And thus, in this new world (and many others to folllow), he kept doing what he always did without a thought
: pulling pranks, leaving presents and strolling around.

A kithkin in goggles bounded by the ouphe, then stopped to meet the strange creature.
"Oh, hello there," she waves to him. "Haven't see ya around here before. What brings ya to the Arena?"Special Delivery  Artifact  When Special Delivery enters the battlefield, look at the top three cards of your library. Exile one of those cards face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. When Special Delivery leaves the battlefield, put the exiled card into your hand.

"Ah-reh-na?" Bugaboo didn't understand at all what she said, as the only languages he knew were those of the animals and Ouphe-speak. Nevertheless, she seemed trustworthy enough to his eyes, especially because the kithkin he was used to back in Shadowmoor were much nastier and scarier. However, the focus of his attention was the package she carried. He wondered what it contained...what if it was food?!? At that thought, he quickly waddled over like a...goose that spotted some breadcrumbs!
Snack Hunt Instant
Put target exiled card in its owner's graveyard. Create a Food token.
When you're really hungry, even ancient relics start looking quite appetizing.
------ Special Delivery seems an interesting card! In decks that interact with artifacts it would definetly be a valid alternative to Opt and other scry-spells. I'd only raise its cost to 2 because it seems to me just a little undercosted for its potential. 9/10

"And yea, Arena. It's this place. Where are ya from?" she asks, oblivious to the ouphe's lack of understanding.Mox Crystal  Legendary Artifact   : Add one mana of any color. Activate this ability only if you've gained life this turn.
do not eat the delicious moxen. does pair well with food tho. Snack Hunt - very narrow. would prob have this at 'up to one target' and maybe even like 'up to two/three' for the cmc2. 7/10 |

"Oh, now careful," she says, doing her best to hold it over her head. "Magical delivery, gotta be gentle with those."
"And yea, Arena. It's this place. Where are ya from?" she asks, oblivious to the ouphe's lack of understanding. "Ooooooh!". At the sight of the magical trinket, Bugaboo immediately stopped flailing his tiny arms in the air. He always loved shiny things and that Mox was shiny indeed! He admired it in silence for a few seconds. Then, unaware of the kithkin's words' meaning, he decided to show her a shiny thing of his own possession. After rummaging in his pockets, he pulled out a small gecko that weirdly gleamed with an unnatural, phosphorescent green hue. The ouphe showed proudly his little critter to Pidge.
Twinkling Gecko
Creature - Lizard Whenever an opponent adds mana, Twinkling Gecko gets +1/+1 until the end of the turn. This normally harmless species adapted to Shadowmoor's many magical predators by reacting violently to hostile spells.
1/1
------ You know, I could actually see Mox Crystal get printed by WoTC one day. Cool idea to use lifegain as its enabler. 10/10 |

On a particularly starry night, a woman sits nearby, staring into the sky and sketching into a notebook.
After showing his prized reptile to the kithkin, Bugaboo noticed that nighttime had come. He raised his head to see if there were any stars and there they were! He saw nearby a nice wooden bench with a woman drawing in her notebook, an ideal place to sit and contemplate the constellations. The ouphe went and sat on the other side of the bench, then he quietly admired the sky above in awe.
Pukka-Flow Instant  Choose one or both: -You gain 3 life -Destroy target enchantment To connect with the cosmos and gain its boons you must first undo all that hinders your communion with it
Trivia: Pukka means "authentic, genuine" in Hindi.
------
Holy cow, that enchantment is terrifying hahaha! It would surely see play in lifedrain decks; I can't imagine how much damage it would wreck with enchantment creatures from Theros! I'm not too sure about the cost however. With such a wide-range, escalating effect, I'd raise it by 1 or even 2. 8/10

Pukka-Flow is perfectly fine, with the exception that the card feels a lot more like a white card than a green card despite being perfectly in-color for green. 8/10 |

1/1  Sorcery Two target creatures get +2/+2 until end of turn. If those creatures share a creature type, those creatures also gain lifelink until end of turn.
Twinkling Gecko - ooh, interesting. the memory issues on this are real though, think i'd rather see this as like "~ gets +5/+5 if an opponent has spent three or more mana this turn." tho. still a 9/10 cause it's neat |

Pidge seemed to fixate on the lizard, one of her hands coming off her delivery to adjust her goggles. "Huh, I've seen one a these before. Are you from Lorwyn, li'l guy? You don't look like anyone I've seen there though..."
Knowing the Other Instant Tap two target creatures. If those creatures share a creature type, those creatures don't untap during their controller's next untap step. Learning how someone else works takes time, especially if they're of your own kin, for similarities often scare more than differences.--------- About Common Bond, I like the flavor and the effects seem well balanced to me at that rarity and at sorcery speed. 10/10 |

As the ouphe walks through the forest, he sees a black slimy thing hanging from a tree. The Thing shakes and twitches, like looking to the small guy, even thoufgh it doesn't have eyes or anything close to them.Watcher in the Deep Artifact Creature - Symbiote Bond  (: Attach this to target creature you control.

"Lohr-ween!" Hearing one of the two names of his home awoken Bugaboo from his contemplation of the starry sky. After getting off the bench, he merrily walked towards Pidge with a big, beaming smile; he nodded and chanted excitedly "Lohr-ween! Sahd-oo-mooh!". He might not have known many things about common spoken(or written) communication, but the names of his plane were an exception.
"I've got to go take this to where it needs to go now, but you can tag along, if you want?" The kithkin was unsure how to learn any more from the ouphe, but perhaps it could show her something on the road.Passing Through  Sorcery Exile up to two target creatures. Return them to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step.
Knowing the Other - sure, and like the ft 9/10 |

The Thing shakes and twitches, like looking to the small guy, even thoufgh it doesn't have eyes or anything close to them. Bugaboo wasn't too fazed by that presence, for he was already used to monsters far scarier than an ooze. Just in case it was an hungry predator, he decided to leave behind some juicy bait to snack upon (instead of him) before going away at a steady pace.
Tasty Decoy Instant You may sacrifice a Food rather than pay this spell's mana cost.

I like that design a lot! The bond ability is an interesting keyword and its cost seems well balanced to me. Nice! 10/10

"Sahd-oo-mooh? Doesn't sound familiar."
"I've got to go take this to where it needs to go now, but you can tag along, if you want?" The kithkin was unsure how to learn any more from the ouphe, but perhaps it could show her something on the road. After leaving the treat for the thing in the trees, Bugaboo listened to Pidge's proposal and understood her question through her non verbal language. He nodded enthusiastically, ready to go at any time!
Coming Through Instant You may cast this spell only if you control a green creature with trample.
Counter target instant or sorcery spell. Some beasts walk away from magic, other beasts prefer to walk over it.
-------------------------------------------------------
I'd raise Passing Through's cost by 1, it also seems to me slightly narrow in use. Not half bad anyways! 8/10

The ooze gets to the bait and spends some seconds 'munching' it (even though it doesn't seem to have a mouth of any kind). When Bugaboo has put some distance between them, like out of nowhere the strange slime appears from behind a tree. It moves, slowly towards the ouphe, as if it was interested in this strange creature.p
A nearby crow, seeing the sludge making its move in the forest, warned her kind with a sonorous call just in case of potential danger. Bugaboo, knowing the language of the animals, heard the message as well and turned around. Seeing that the bait didn't do much for diverting the thing's attention, he emitted a soft "Eep!". What was that thing? Was it dangerous? Or was it friendly? The ouphe decided to study its behavior for a bit before devising an effective (most likely escape) plan.
Ouphe's Sight Instant Look at target player's hand. You may choose an artifact or enchantment card from it.
If you do, that player reveals the chosen card, puts it on the bottom of their library, then draws a card.
Ouphes are always instinctively drawn to their next plaything.
-------
I'd only raise Focused Symbiote 's cost by 1. For the rest, it's all good. 9/10

Counter target instant or sorcery spell. Some beasts walk away from magic, other beasts prefer to walk over it. Pidge walked to her destination, slowly at first to see if the ouphe followed along.
Coming Through - cute but hard to justify that tiny upside on Dispel. If this dropped "green creature" and had a cooler payoff i'd be on board tho 6/10 |

If Bugaboo tries to run, he will find that the Thing has it surrounded, with all the near ground covered in its sticky body.Living Trap Artifact Creature - Symbiote If there are three or more creatures attacking you, you may cast ~ as though it had flash. If you do, as it enters the battlefield, you may attach it to target creature you control. Bond Equipped creature gets +3/+2. ~ and equipped creature can block any number of creatures. 3/2 Ouphe's Sight: I think this should reveal the hand by default, just looking at it and revealing a card seems like extra words for really little benefit. Also, I don't think this feels green (I get that artifact and enchantments are things green hits but the effect looks fairly monoblue). I think it's kinda a hit and a miss. 8/10 |

The thing slowly approaches the ouphe. For a moment it seems to meld with its environment, camouflaging with the land. But then, it reveals itself, emerging from the leaf covered ground. The black mass extends a tendril towards the ouphe, but leaves it floating before his head, awaiting.
If Bugaboo tries to run, he will find that the Thing has it surrounded, with all the near ground covered in its sticky body. Oh no! Bugaboo was trapped in the circle of sludge! He was astonished at the oddity of the whatever-it-was around it. Afraid that the tendril might spell death if it managed to reach his head, he decided to cast a quick spell to go beyond that unnatural wall.
Blink Away Instant Target creature can't be blocked this turn.
Draw a card.
----------------------------------------
I'd only switch Living Trap 's P/T and the bonus to the equipped creature to 2/3. 9/10.

Draw a card.  Artifact Creature - Symbiote : Attach ~ to target creature. It becomes an Equipment and stops being a creature until it becomes unattached from a creature. Activate this ability only as a sorcery Equipped creature gets +2/+2, has vigilance and "Whenever this creature attacks or blocks, each opponent draws two cards." Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, draw a card. 2/2 Blink Away: Slip Through Space exists and most of the time, this is exaclty the same card, so 7/10 |

As the ouphe gets out of range, the ooze retracts itself, rubbing slightly his left foot. Then, it lets Bugaboo go away, returning to the deep woods, looking for a more suitable host. The sking touched by the thing is just slightly darker than the rest, but nothing strange seems to happen, regardless of how much time passes. Maybe it wasn't a menace, after all...Old God's Servant Artifact Creature - Symbiote : Attach ~ to target creature. It becomes an Equipment and stops being a creature until it becomes unattached from a creature. Activate this ability only as a sorcery Equipped creature gets +2/+2, has vigilance and "Whenever this creature attacks or blocks, each opponent draws two cards." Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, draw a card. 2/2 The core idea of an "evil equip" that can target enemies is nice, but I'm sure most opponents would rather leave their creature sit there and do nothing instead of giving card advantage to their enemies, making this card virtually equal to an overpriced Pacifism in most cases , the exceptions being targeting creatures that must attack or block or situations where blocking or attacking are the only choices remaining(a win-more situation). 7/10 |
