The Instant and Sorcery Game

Ah dang, that's on me, I didn't even notice. Granted, I also didn't think the thread would be front to back as opposed to back to front.

Mono-colored plz

Sorry I missed this one.

Does cavewalk exist yet? Nope. So for now it's basically unblockable. But it could exist, especially if caves become more prominent.

The prompt asks for an instant. But I'll just extend it to instant or sorcery.

Extensive Drilling
Sorcery

Destroy target non-cave land. Its owner may search their library for a land card with a cave type, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. Otherwise, each player creates a Treasure token.

Tyftw!
Adventures are often small utility spells which you can cast even before you can cast the non-adventure side, so you can later cast the non-adventure from exile. That's good design. Vice versa is also possible though, just harder to design right.

So, challenge, make an adventure card where the instant/sorcery part has a higher mana value than the non-adventure part, but make it so you still want to actively play that side first. The adventure should NOT be just a backup for later points in the game, like Flaxen Intruder.

Knowledge Collector
Creature - Ouphe
~ enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each card you drew this turn.

Craving of Curiosity
Sorcery - Adventure
Draw 2 cards. (Then exile this card. You may cast the creature later from exile.)

Thanks for the win!

Next: Make an instant or sorcery spell that commits a crime.

It must target an opponent or their thing(s); bonus points if it feels like a crime.

Idea : Interesting card. Wording would need some reformatting, since I think choices that can target need to have a trigger that sets the time when the choice needs to be made, rather than just a "then." Something like "Target opponent reveals their hand. When they do, choose one." I think the spell can just be exiled, no need to counter it. The last line feels like it's a static effect on a permanent; it needs a duration, like "for as long as they remain in exile" or "until end of turn" or "Cast that card without paying." But templating aside, 6 mana (all colored) to take anything from a player feels powerful, but probably appropriate. Though I would probably prefer it as a 7-mana . The card is definitely a crime; no question about it. It targets the opponent and basically any of their stuff.

Haha, nice! Makes sense to also get all of your kidnapped creature's items. I like this a lot. Neat against voltron commanders. Feels like a crime, no doubt.

Yikes! This can be devastating! Definitely a crime. Would hate to play against this. At 4-mana, it's a Craterize; at 6-mana, it's a Rain of Salt. At infinite mana, it's "opponents scoop." I actually think it's properly costed.

This one goes to viriss . I really like it's flavor, and think most "gain control of creature" spells should work like this from a flavor perspective.
