Welcome to the Card of the Week Contest! To participate in this Contest you'll have to design a card along the contest guidelines and throw it into the arena with other competitors' entries! At the end of each week, a winner will be determined by forum poll. The winner's card will be rendered and featured on the Welcome page, and the winner decides the challenge for the next week's Contest! Here we go, competitors: our three-hundred and forty-seventh challenge!
The winner of the "Unfair Trade" poll were FLAREdirector (left) and puddlefoot (right) with... And the challenge issued by one of our winners was... Design a card that uses two or more keywords or abilities, each strongly associated with a different plane. (For example, you could design a card with investigate, associated with Innistrad, and dash, associated with Tarkir. [But maybe be more creative than just using the pair of keywords listed in the prompt, okay? {Also, sorry this isn't holiday- or winter-themed! I wasn't really feelin' like another snow-matters design challenge. <How much more nested could these parentheticals be? The answer is none. None more nested.>}])
Additionally, please try to keep your entry edits all in one post - if you need to change it you can put your old entry in a spoiler marked "Old entry" and leave the newest rendition to be seen. Just use the edit button in the top/right of your original post.And now, time to begin the challenge! Best of luck, competitors!

FLAREdirector: The title pun is painful, and you should feel bad for making it.
I'm tempted to run back my entry from the last Contest, as it not only fulfills this prompt, but is festively Snowy, but I'll try to find something different.
Eldritch Revelation  Tribal Instant--Eldrazi  Devoid (This card has no color.)
Draw cards equal to the number of cards in your hand. Then, for each card in your hand, each opponent exiles the top card of their library.
Miracle  (You may cast this card for its miracle cost when you draw it if it’s the first card you drew this turn.)
I couldn't find any art that felt appropriately Eldrazi-themed.

aquonn: That is a rare! If you ever hit a clump of 3 or more lands, you are so far ahead, the game might as well be over.

aquonn : That is a rare! If you ever hit a clump of 3 or more lands, you are so far ahead, the game might as well be over. Explore puts the land into your hand, not onto the battlefield. I mean, I agree that it should probably be a rare, but I don't think it's going to be a definite game-ender. |

 Cytograft Preparations  Sorcery Put three +1/+1 counters on target noncreature permanent and it gains graft. (Whenever a creature enters the battlefield, you may move a +1/+1 counter from this permanent onto it.)Awaken 3—  (If you cast this spell for , also put three +1/+1 counters on target land you control and it becomes a 0/0 Elemental creature with haste. It’s still a land.)I think this could be a  , but works better as a signpost . And yes of course this works. By the time you put the counters on a land it's not a creature. And then you awaken it. |

zendikar x theros x reader  this is actually a canon character that appears in the flavour text of these cardsbeing legendary is less for commander, and more for the fact that two can go infinite with a third ally and a tap creature. i personally think she's better in the 99 |

Well, I didn't have an instant inspiration, so unless one still strikes me, I'll go with plan B. I simply rolled random cards untill I finally ended up with two cards featuring mechanics fitting the given challenge. So Dredge + Manifest it is!
Already have the card in mind, but too lazy to set up the render right now.. To be finished soonTM!
EDIT: And here we go!

Nefarious Plot  Sorcery Target land becomes a 3/3 green Elemental Horror creature. It’s still a land. Awaken 2 - , Each opponent investigates three times. (If you cast this spell by paying and having each opponent create three colorless Clue artifact tokens with “, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.”, also put two +1/+1 counters on target land you control and it becomes a 0/0 Elemental creature with haste. It’s still a land.)"They'll never suspect my innocent looking swamps..."Basically you get a chance to have a chunky 5/5 creature on Turn 2 (compare Awakener Druid, Hydroform) but if you draw too much attention to yourself your villainous plan will cost you the investigation of perky interlopers.

 Faith's Crescendo X X and three White. Sorcery Rare Miracle (five White) Cascade X times, then gain life equal to the sum of the converted mana costs of spells cast this way. When you cast Faith's Crescendo for it's miracle cost, treat X equal to three. Art by Julia Lepetit. |

sade612 : What exactly does the X do, besides show how clever you are? My understanding, as not the card creator but someone who's card is also a cascade card with X in the cost, is that CMC on the stack includes what was paid for X, so in this case, X is just there to buff the CMC of the cascade's valid range of targets. Incidently taking the chance to clarify my card's mechanics a bit, casting it for it's miracle sets X equal to 3 which means it's cmc on the stack would be 9, and I should probably put that in reminder text. |

Zulgroz, Profane Augur Legendary Creature — Demon  Human offering (You may cast this card any time you could cast an instant by sacrificing a Human and paying the difference in mana costs between this and the sacrificed Human. Mana cost includes color.)Flying, haste Morbid —  : You draw three cards and you lose 3 life. Activate this ability only if a creature died this turn. 6/6

ZephyrPhantom the way awaken is worded doesn't allow Nefarious Plot to make a 5/5. If you target the same land with both abilities, the awaken will turn your 3/3 into a 0/0 and put two counters on it. Because of this and memory issues I think you shuóuld use +1/+1 counters for the main ability as well.
