Dark Snake Syndrome is one of my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. The card's awful, but it's fun as hell.

I had a hard time since I don't play any other TCGs or CCGs, but thanks to the update on the challenge, I'm going to make a card for one of my favorite deck-builders, Slay the Spire!
It seems odd to me that this doesn't create token artifacts with tap affects or, well, just deal 2 damage any target three times. Also, current standard MtG is big on the ability "shock" which deals 2 damage, because lightning bolt dealt 3 and that was considered by many to be too much. This card has the same CMC as the iconic lightning bolt and does 6(!)

You still have to pay the  for each of the "shocks", so its not really comparable to lightning bolt. gets you the 6 damage. |

There's a card game called Infinity Wars, and I took a card from it. Here's the conversion: Now, this card by itself doesn't feel that exciting. Sure your creatures have infect, but, that's it.What makes this card interesting is the sheer amount of flavor text that came with it. There was so much flavor text that I had to create another card to fit it all. Aleta made her way through Avarrach, suffering each day as her body struggled to fight off the virus that infested the very air itself. Oddly, the undead around her simply left her alone, instead all singly-mindedly walking towards the closest rift.
At the start of her journey, the virus would only attack her if she came into direct contact with one of the undead. Lately though, the undead around her were becoming more and more active, rarely anymore did she see the Sleepers sleeping. As they awoke, the air became more hostile to the living.
Even though many digital records had shut down long ago, Aleta had millennia of technical knowledge, and found it trivial to reactivate their ancient terminals. The centuries-old records told a grim tale: one of world wide panic and hopelessness.
One city in particular was mentioned often: Kyrallic, once a great center of learning on Avarrach, and the origin of the virus. Thus she found herself there, searching for anything that would shed light on a cure.
Around her were the dead of Avarrach, ignoring her to head in one, uniform direction. One of the undead, however, moved differently. She did not move with the others, instead seeming to wander aimlessly among them.
Aleta made her way towards the errant undead. As she approached, her target stopped and stared at her. Aleta stared back, in shock.
Two identical Aletas stared at each other: one from Talich, one from Avarrach.
This twin of hers looked tortured from the virus. Centuries of the cycle of becoming infected and immortality fighting off the virus, a painful cycle that Genesis-Aleta had already come to know so well, had taken its toll on her newfound twin.
At last, Aleta had found the key she was looking for.

dragonspit999 already talked about this a bit, and he's correct. It doesn't say that you may cast them without paying their mana cost, so you'll have to pay R for each copy that you want to cast.
As for the flavor portion of your feedback, which I appreciate, I was hoping to bring out the combo aspect of the Silent. I know I wanted this card to play well with Storm and Magecraft, since that seemed flavorful for how the Silent can play. That's why I went with casting copies of a spell instead of creating tokens. I also wanted to replicate the idea that you discard your hand each turn in Slay the Spire, which is why the copies have to be cast right away.
Thank you for taking the time to comment on my card!

Of course! I will say that spell copies that you still have to pay for are, I think, completely new ground in Magic, as are copies of cards that aren't either spells (on the stack already) or permanents. Do they go into your hand? Or an "until end of turn" sort of deal? |

Actually, with the release of Modern Horizons 2, we have precedent for this sort of effect in Garth One-Eye. |

Do they go into your hand? Or an "until end of turn" sort of deal? Vunik mentioned Garth One-Eye, which was the card I based my wording off of. My understanding is that the copies are created on the stack. If you choose to cast them, then they get placed onto the stack like normal spells. If you choose not to cast them, then they cease to exist when the spell or ability that created them leaves the stack. This means that my card ends up working similarly to how Multikicker works, if that helps explain it a bit.
Personally, I would have preferred to have them be able to be cast until end of turn, but I don't believe the rules support that. It's because the game can't progress while there's anything on the stack, so if there were some spell copies sitting around it would lock the game up until they were removed from the stack.

You could've made them Shiv artifact tokens with " , Sacrifice this artifact: This artifact deals 2 damage to any target." and "At the beginning of the End step, sacrifice these" but they wouldn't count for Storm and the like. |

I think it's a little too strong, but I transplanted a LOT5R card:  {Text} Mediator of Hostilities   Creature - Human Advisor  At the end of each combat, if the active player didn’t attack, draw a card. This ability triggers only twice each turn. 1/2 |

Guess I should submit a card to my own contest, shouldn't I.
 Mirror Force (no mana cost)  Instant  Destroy all attacking creatures. Foretell
In Yu-Gi-Oh, you need to set trap cards face down before activating them on a later turn. To represent that, I've made this version of Mirror Force only castable after you "set it face-down" in exile in an earlier turn. |

One of my favorite cards from Keyforge, hopefully not as busted as it may seem!  |
