Flo00 First of all, I'm dqing you because this card can't ever be both white and blue. Indeed, at any point of the game and in any zone, this card can be either white OR blue, but never both. If you look at how the game is worded, it's pretty clear "choose two: your card is white ... AND your card is blue ....". I put the thing about DFC to see if someone would fall for it. just kidding! I like the idea of the card and love the back of the card. The front I'm not super stoked about however. It's good flavor, don't get me wrong, but it's between a bit too narrow, and it doesn't do very much, and it requires your opponent to do something before it does anything. Honestly, I'd just maybe make it cost to the sac ability, add 'draw a card' and remove the condition from your opponent. I get it from a flavor perspective, but it's too restrictive and doesn't give you enough. I love the idea of the back though, and flash in the reminder text is great detail. I'm happy you're taking the card that positive. I was thinking myself that it is a bit of a mess. Entry: Nyx Invocation     Sorcery  Affinity for enchantments Reveal the top X cards of your library. You may put any number of enchantment cards with mana value X or less from among them onto the battlefield. Then put all cards revealed this way that weren’t put onto the battlefield into your graveyard. It's basically Saheeli's Directive for enchantments. |

Why go for two, when you can go for four:  -Squire in front face as a 1/2 creature for two. -Urza synergy because it makes an artifact -Static ability on planeswalker side has the required text -card is a sparker for planeswalker Kaya Cassin, who was the Orzhov guild leader for a while Some clarification on the more obscure stuff in the card: -Tolvada had a rainbow-lined sky that was making people go mad. So I made the card synergize with madness to trigger the black side of the card. -Phasma is a latin word for ghost, phantasm, apparition, spectre.... |

Sorry, super busy, to keep things going I'll give the win to Flo00 for a nice, intuitive design at common. I could see it in a MH set at common. |

Thanks for the win lordpat! Next: Choose two –
• Your card offers a choice.
• Your card name is a palindrome.
• Your card features the word Brushwagg somewhere on it.
• Your card uses a die. (As in the things you usually roll to get a result, not the end of a living being.) |

Wollow, Baddest Brushwagg Around Legendary Creature - Brushwagg Trample  : Roll a six-sided die. Afterwards, choose one: - Brushwaggs you control get +X/+X, where X is equal to the result. - Create X 1/1 green Brushwagg creature tokens with trample, where X is equal to the result. 1/1

Nogard Dragon  Creature - Dragon Noble (acorn) Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, choose a permanent card. Then target opponent might choose to spell it backwards or forwards. If they spell it forwards correctly, you draw three cards. If they spell it backwards correctly, Norgard Dragon deals 5 damage to them. If they make a mistake or take more than 15 seconds, you draw three cards and Nograd Dragon deals 5 damage to them. 5/5 |

Judging soon now. {melono}Tribal, invoker-like brushwagg. Godd cards, no complaints. {Idea}3 or a random amount is an interesting choice to make. Especially when you can also "overload" this to do mass damage.
Fun way of sneaking "brushwagg" onto the card.
{lordpat}Interesting way of giving the opponent a choice with the chance for them to mess it up.
What happens when you choose Nogard Dragon for its own ability? Do you get both or does the opponent choose which direction they spelled? I guess the second one would make more sense, otherwise you would allways choose the dragon iself. If it didn't let you choose itself, the I'd think the first option to be more fun and interesting to enable some kind of palindrome tribal.

Thanks for the win!
Now then, my 4 challenges. Choose two or more.
The card:
- Is a common.
- Has only one line of rulestext, including keywords. (So until the period ".", not until the end of the textbox.)
- Has mana value 1 or less.
- Involves the graveyard somehow.

Judging: Both do very narrow, but strong enough things, making their low costs justified. Gotta give it to Idea for that great flavour though. You win! |

Strings on the Puppeteer Sorcery If Strings on the Puppeteer targets a player with seven or more cards in their graveyard, you may discard an Island instead of paying Strings on the Puppeteer’s mana cost. Target opponent chooses an instant or sorcery card in their graveyard. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. |

Shared Revelations Sorcery Multikicker - , Target opponent draws a card. ( You may pay an additional and have target opponent draw that many cards any number of times as you cast this spell.) For each time this spell was kicked, scry 1, then draw a card. Science can only prosper if we are willing to share our findings.Choices 2 and 3 in a broad sense by the way.

Flo00{Spoiler}3/4 conditions met, very good. The counter-synergy of this card's condition and it's effect is very clearly intentional, however I think in this case it breaks its playability more than most. Threshold for the opponent can be a slower condition to meet than one might think, and while many decks can indeed fill their graveyards very fast, the more competitive scenes where those kinds of decks thrive most are also harsh on inconsistency and a card that relies on both the opponent filling up their graveyard and on them having a good instant or sorcery there is very inconsistent. Part of this is of course due to the challenges you had to meet, but I do think this particular design creates issues on both major forms of difficulty. The name of the card is also not particularly evocative of the effect. melono{Spoiler}I would say this only meets criteria 2, as 3 does state the cost has to be non-mana. That being said, I do see where you were going with it. Good flavor too, and I like the way it makes players draw card yet has the limiting mana cost to make sure you can't just automatically deck out opponents (provided you don't have infinite mana/less cards in your library). I do get a little concerned this one might still fall into the Trade Secrets sort of problem of drawing too much of a deck while working with another player. Winner {Spoiler}Both for a more balanced card and better meeting the challenge criteria, I will give this win to Flo00 !
