Edit: Who could have guessed that reading the challenge explains the challenge?. Certainly not me. Changed submission to actually fit this week's criterion.  {Old Card for posterity's sake}  |

damagicgeek : You could have the exile be a choice between the top two or three cards instead:
Constellation--Whenever ~ or another enchantment enters the battlefield under your control, look at the top two {or three} cards of your library, exile one of them face down, and put the {other/rest} on the top of your library{ in a random order}. The card you exiled this way becomes foretold. <etc. etc.>
Orion Rings : Would you accept a card that causes all your other spells to cost more? Because I just came up with an interesting design...
It's an Older Entry, But It Still Checks Out:
Aggregate Gearhulk  Artifact Creature--Construct  Affinity for nonland permanents (This spell costs  less to cast for each nonland permanent you control.)
Spend only mana produced by lands to cast Aggregate Gearhulk. 10/10 |

I have no idea how to balance this, but I like this mechanic.
Creature - Human Wizard Flash Whenever you cast a spell with flash, scry 1 and you gain 1 life. [3/2]

 Vampiric Rampage   Sorcery Choose one — • Whenever a creature dies this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. • Target creature you don’t control gets -3/-3 until end of turn. Entwine (Choose both if you pay the entwine cost.)Overload— , Pay 2 life for each creature on the battlefield. (You may cast this spell for its overload cost. If you do, change its text by replacing all instances of “target” with “each”.)I went with my usual thing and did both: You can play this for cheaper and more expensive. You can cast this for 1, 3 or 5 mana (and maybe some life), depending on how much you want out of it. |

damagicgeek As far as I understand the challenge, your card should have a way to make itself cheaper of more expensive. I might be wrong though. Vunik Sounds indeed interesting. And a bit dangerous. There are some one mana spells doing this exclusively for creatures or sorceries. ANd in the current spoilers we got Invoke Calamity, which does a similar thing. So maybe it's ok that way? Or maybe it should be restricted to certain card types. inverness Each player discards their hand ... BinaryBolas the official way of wording this is mana value less than or equal; which I agree is clunkier than your text. I like how you made an additional cost to escape that makes the card harder to use.

Orion Rings : Would you accept a card that causes all your other spells to cost more? Because I just came up with an interesting design... i'd like if the card increased or reduced its own cost as per the challenge. similarly, damagicgeek it's a cool design, but it doesn't change its own cost - only others |

I actually designed this card ages ago, before the change in wording was made, and I didn't realize I was still using the old wording. Thanks for catching that! |

Big wheel time! With a big cost because wheel effects are dangerous and you'll almost certainly be able to get help casting it.
 Night at the Festival   Sorcery  Assist (Another player can pay up to of this spell’s cost.)Each player discards their hand then draws seven cards. |

Who would ever pay 3 off-color mana to scry 2? For that mana you should be able to draw two cards. |

 {Text} Somber Parting Sorcery  Target opponent sacrifices a creature or an enchantment. Extrapolate (If you cast this spell for its extrapolate cost, change its text by replacing all instances of “or” with “and”.) |
