Baffle   Instant Counter target spell unless its controller sacrifices a creature with power 3 or greater.
EDIT: Had one too many in the mana cost. Thanks to spazlaz for pointing it out.

 Book Nester  Creature - Dragon Flying The first time each turn a card is exiled from your library, put a +1/+1 counter on Book Nester. Whenever a new edition of a textbook is published, all of the old copies are gifted to the university’s mascot, Smokey.2/2 ----- Might need a bit more tweaking -_- Really rusty at CotW EDIT: First version is below. Discovered that Cascade breaks the original in half. NOT AN ENTRY {Spoiler}  |

I find it fascinating that so many of the initial entries were counter spells, even though there's multiple ways to use the word counter in Magic.

{Die in a Fire} I'm sorry, but I just love slivers so much! Oooohhh heeellll no. It's certainly something, alright. Let's break it down: 1) Forced Tribal typing to help search out and buff an already broken card with no real justification for doing so. 2) Deals damage to no specified target on the +1 and it's way too easy to accumulate Slivers to build up to this spamming 4-5 damage each turn. Shouldn't be a +1 ability even if it was worded properly. 3) Jace has this ability as an ultimate. Why should my efficient damage spammer be able to double much faster than him again? 4) -10 is an okay keyword soup ultimate (indestructible and flying should be in the same gets statement btw) but the overpowered first two abilities make it look like a joke. 5) Weird pointless drawback (because it's useless without Slivers anyway). |

Sorry if it came off as negative. It was more of a "I hate everything to do with slivers" reaction.  |

 Frustrate  Interrupt Counter target nonblue spell unless its controller pays  . I love the space that Frazzle fills in multicolored sets, but I wanted something a little stronger than Mana Leak to stay relevant late-game. |
