I think it might be too flashy for an uncommon. It just seems like an uncommon would be a little more subtle. I do think the power level is right though.

Nonagon Infinity that's very expensinve just to draw some cards. Especially the initial cost of discarding three cards plus 7 mana with an extreme color density. This could be a lot cheaper and without the additional cost and would probably still be balanced. Maybe add "if you do" to the modes. That would make it trickier and still playable. And even then I think chaper III can still do with just one creature. I even think you could shift the costs of chapter I and II to chapter II and III.

Decimating Blow   Sorcery Destroy target creature, then destroy another target creature for each ten creatures your opponents control. Here’s another Decimate effect |

Interesting idea for a new format, with several subdivisions: X-Hundred: The only cards legal in each subdivision are cards from sets mentioned in that particular X-Hundred and Counting article, minus any bans announced for that particular Standard (with a few exceptions: Rampaging Ferocidon did NOT deserve a ban, but Ramunap Ruins most certainly did! I see you, Reuben Bresler).
Also, continuing my theme of universally recognizing banworthy cards, if a card was banned in ANY OTHER format, it's banned in X-Hundred (looking at you, Paradox Engine!) |

Another card designed in my sleep:
Cinder Kapnomancer  Creature--Elemental Wizard Shaman  Cinder Kapnomancer enters the battlefield tapped.
Haste
 ,  : Cinder Kapnomancer deals X damage to any target. You can’t spend less than to activate this ability. Permanents dealt damage this way gain “This permanent can’t attack or block, and its activated abilities can’t be activated” until end of turn. 1/3 |

I think enter tapped + haste + is a fun combination. I don't think detain is in red's part of the color pie. And thanks for linking that kapno; that's interesing. |

Flo00: Didn't realize it was detain. I was just thinking of the flavor of releasing a cloud of noxious smoke, so the victim could do nothing but cough.

I didn't mean literally detain, I just used it as abbreviation for what it does. And denying attacks and/or activation is not a thing. |

Paralyze the Mind  Sorcery Target player rearranges their library in reverse order and puts every second card into their graveyard. The way you do this is take your library and pileshuffle it into two piles, then put one into your graveyard. I came up with this because a friend of mine once did this when I played Traumatize. And it's actually faster than counting your library and then recounting half the cards. |

An innocent little typo and what I made of it... 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 |

dangerousdice: Putting counters on cards in graveyards is interesting, but a little too fiddly, especially when there's already a way to do about 98% of what you want. I'd suggest exiling those cards with submerged counters on them.

1) each player exiles the top two cards of their library with a submerged counter on each of those cards.

Time for some silver-border pun fun: Urza’s Mime  Artifcat Creature - Mime  At the beginning of your precombat main phase, if you didn’t speak a word since your last precombat main phase, add  . If you control cards named Urza’s Power and Urza’s Tower Plant, add instead. 2/2 Urza’s Tower Plant Creature - Plant Defender  : Add . If you control cards named Urza’s Power and Urza’s Mime, add instead. As long as you control an artifact or land with Tower in its name, Urza’s Tower Plant can attack as though it didn’t have defender. 2/3 EDIT: Thanks Lady Mapi. Originally had only land there, then changed it to permanent bacause I also wanted to include artifacts. Changed it to those two. Now you can coat it to make it aggressive. Urza’s Power Enchantment At the beginning of your upkeep, add . If you control a Plant and a Mime, add instead. And here is another "metaphysical" card: Insistent Tender Creature - Elf Druid : Add . Use this mana. 1/1 I think I never posted this, so here is an old favorite of mine: Oona’s Gaze  Sorcery Target opponent chooses two target nonland permanents they control. Remove one of them from your sight and return the other to Oona’s hand. |

So, I was watching Magic Mics' Top Ten Zero Power Creatures video, and I get to a discussion of card names. Erin mentions a name that immediately gave me an idea:
Homeschooling Enchantment--Aura Enchant creature
When Homeschooling enters the battlefield, draw a card.
At the beginning of your end step, if enchanted creature didn’t attack this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on it, and you may draw a card. |

Inspired by the latest Kaldheim-infused Elfball/Craterhoof Behemoth bullshit:
Temporal Regulator
Artifact
Each player can’t cast spells with mana value of X or greater this turn, where X is the number of non-extra turns that player has taken this game.
EDIT: Thanks, ZephyrPhantom. I realized that X or greater slows things down too much, making even Bears have to wait a turn.
Temporal Regulator Artifact Each player can’t cast spells with mana value greater than X this turn, where X is the number of non-extra turns that player has taken this game.
Permanents can’t enter the battlefield under a player’s control if that permanent’s mana value is greater than X.
Let's make mana value mean something again, dammit! |

Let's make mana value mean something again, dammit! Is this the part where the Elvish Piper variant of the meta comes in to ruin everything?  (I am genuinely curious if people would pivot to Champion of Rhonas in this hypothetical meta, though.) That said, I think the first "this turn" might not be needed since this seems like a static effect. Not sure if Arena tracks turn numbers but it seems like counting lands could work too while being more intuitive. |
