 I googled for "Kaladesh! Awesome! It's awesome!" and only Japanese meme came out. Didn't he it's awesome in your countries? |

I've not yet decided which version of the card I like better. A pun on the phrase Brain Fog, here's... 
| Brain Frog
A green or a blue
Instant
Counter target non-creature spell. It's controller creates a 1/3 green and blue Frog creature token with hexproof and reach.
FT: “Croagitatio is a genus of frogs which have uniquely evolved a psionivorous diet, primarily predating upon the ability to
form complex thoughts. This make living specimens dangerous research subjects as repeated exposure will eventually render
even the most astute researchers catatonic.”
— Observations of Leuxis the Idiot. Volume I
| 
| The exact same card as above, except for the flavor text.
“My other friends started calling me an idiot, so they’re not my friends no more. This pretty froggy is my only friend now. My bestest friend.”
— Observations of Leuxis the Idiot. Volume VIII
|
I honestly think you need both versions of the flavor text to tell Leuxis the Idiot's story, but with just one card... well, I'm not sure what to do with that. |

I'll give you my flavor text.
Phew, just only two.
This is a long journey to the double-faced split specializing...yawn...
oh, I came up with two flavor texts. Which one is better?

I was sure to find a few fitting cards by just browsing through some recent designs. Here is my favorite one:  Note how I turned their skin blue to make it a vedalken and put a red blur on the thingy in their hand to make it look like some magic motion thingy. Motion Thief    Creature - Vedalken Rogue  Flash If an opponent would untap a permanent except during their untap step, untap a permanent you control instead. 3/1 Not part of the entry, but I couldn't resist showing some more as well to anybody who dares take a look: {so much pun}      {text versions}Striking Appearance  Enchantment - Aura Enchant creature At the beginning of your end step, put a counter from among firstest strike, first strike, normal strike and last strike on enchanted creature. (A creature with normal strike deals combat damage during the normal combat damage step despite having other strike abilities.)Sparkographer  Creature - Viashino Citizen  : Return target land card from your graveyard to your hand. Sparkographer deals 1 damage to any target. 1/1 Dionysaur  Creature - Dinosaur Lifelink Whenever you gain life, scry 2. Whenever you scry, put a +1/+1 counter on Dionysaur. It really knows how to enjoy life.3/3 Taking You Out Instant  Choose target creature you control and another target creature. Choose one — • For Dinner — Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature chosen this way. • In Combat — The Chosen creatures fight each other. Insanerate Sorcery Target player mills six cards. Target player discards a card. Insanerate deals 3 damage to target player. |

You just search for them... ? No doing anything with them? No shuffle? |

 I had to cut the reminder text to make the text of the card more readable, so here's what multinterpret does: Multinterpret (Cost) : For each time you pay the multinterpret cost, you may choose an additional option you didn’t already choose, with the new X value. |
