Neottolemo Spider of Fates: Interesting effect, though I'm not entirely sure I like how the forced copy can blow up in your face, or the potential memory issues from repeatedly copying Auras. 8/10.Hey, I've been way too busy to clean these past few days. Besides, I think the cobwebs add character.

If enchanted creature would deal damage to you, prevent that damage. You gain life equal to the damage prevented this way. The risk of making stuff blow up in your face was meant to be a balancing tool to cost it lower, but yeah, probably shouldn't copy Auras, my bad.
Vern stumbles backwards. "Oh, someone lives in here‽ Whoa." The window is opened. "Don't 'sir' me, yo. I'm Vern. Comin' through!" Vern somersaults into the cottage. "Ta daaa, and whatever. I was checking out your shelves and stuff. So, what's in that book?", Vern asks, pointing at the one Parsul is holding.

As he walks through the arena, Khon pauses, seeing a man with a book. It's uncertain exactly what causes the man to stand out - it isn't simply a matter of being a planeswalker, but something about the man seems almost unnatural... otherworldly. He watches the man carefully, wondering what exactly it is that makes the man so unusual.

Neottolemo Sweating the Small Stuff: Not a fan of the name (especially in black border), but the ability is quite interesting. 9/10. "…TV static? Is that some kind of dessert? And no, the World Book decides what’s included, not me. It’s survived for billions of years, so I’m pretty sure it knows what’s safe and what isn’t."
Which only makes it that much worse if I’m somehow the first to screw everything up. But that’s ridiculous and I’m not supposed to think that way.
"Anyway, life Inside isn’t really all that different either. Certainly not as much as I’d been told. Magic’s pretty much the same. Physics is slightly different, but I’m no expert, so all it means to me is that moving around out here feels kind of weird. I’ve gotten used to it. The biggest difference is the High Scriptures don’t apply here, but I’m told you have your own version which is way subtler and harder to notice. To the extent where you probably wouldn’t understand if I tried to explain them, come to think of it."
I shrug. "And even that doesn’t mean much, since I’m the Chosen, so the Scriptures kind of follow me wherever I go. But, again, hard to explain and you probably don’t need to worry. Now, about this 'original' universe of yours…" I gesture for him to continue.Note: This timeline has been altered. What originally happened is below. You're welcome. — VI{Spoiler} "…TV static?

I mean, sure, kind of a huge event for the locals, but seeing as you're clearly not from around here, I can't help but be curious."Otherworld Senses Enchantment Whenever a nontoken creature or planeswalker enters the battlefield under your control, if it wasn't cast from your hand, draw a card. : Exile target creature or planeswalker you control, then return it to the battlefield under your control. "I, uh... My entire research here was dependent on Sanaerti. Histories, languages... Without the city I feel useless here."
Not exactly sure what to think of Otherworld Senses. Seems too expensive for both parts for this to be useful? 7/10
Lost Purpose Sorcery Target player sacrifices a creature, then reveals their hand and discards a card that shares a color with it.

WindyDelcarlo Lost Purpose: Feels more uncommon than rare, but it’s an interesting way to shake up a sacrifice decision. 9/10."Oh. Uh. Well, you can still study the villages and such around it, right? It’s not like all the locals lived in that one city..." I glance over at her from the kitchen. "I’m sorry, that must have sounded flippant. Are you going to sit down? No offense, but you look exhausted."Recuperation Enchantment Whenever one or more cards are put into your graveyard from anywhere, you gain that much life.

blueseclipse Scales of Creation: This was difficult to parse. It’s… token hate that also lets players cheat out cards from their hand when they sacrifice stuff or make tokens, only the cards they cheat out can’t be more expensive than the ones they sacrificed? Seems overcomplicated, fiddly, and almost certainly not worth 6 mana. 5/10."Yes, it’s the book I'm holding. It’s also a world, which I’m from. But I’ve been, well, chosen to search the planes for new stories to add to it. Speaking of which, do your, uh, 'people'? Tell stories, I mean?"
Are my hands trembling? Void, Parsul, get it together. He's not that scary. I nearly drop the World Book as I adjust my hold on it, and the pages flip open to reveal shifting silver words in some unreadable tongue.
Wait, no, I think I got one word. Eternity? No idea what it means, though. I quickly close the book, hoping this 'Khon' doesn’t notice.
I'm fairly sure that's never happened before.Note: This timeline has been altered. What originally happened is below. You're welcome. – VI{GET OUT NOW}"Yes, it’s the book I'm holding.

(This insane impotent rant continues for several pages but is not worthy of any further transcription. I'm sure you have seen all you need to.) War in Forgotten Timelines Enchantment At the beginning of combat on your turn, each player exiles a creature card from their graveyard. If the card you exiled had the greatest power or tied for greatest, creatures you control get +2/+1 and gain trample until end of turn. Not really seeing this as - it feels like it should be mono-, or maybe . I like the idea behind it, though. 8/10"Stories are not a part of Phyrexian culture - entertainment holds no useful purpose, so such frivolities are discouraged." Khon looks at the book, wondering at the odd text it revealed. For just a moment, it seemed as though it was recognizable as Phyrexian script, but that moment passed rapidly. "You say that this tome is also a world, however? What kind of realm is it?"Knowledge from Beyond Instant Choose a card you own from outside the game or in exile not named Knowledge from Beyond, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Exile Knowledge from Beyond.

"I... sorry, yes."// Leira sits down somewhere as she puts together her thoughts."The culture of Sanaerti is not the same as that of the miscellaneous villages about the plane. Their beliefs, values, and history are different, and it was that city that I devoted my time with the Eternity Project to study. Without being able to do that, I'm lost."Recuperation kinda feels like it should be a white card, given that it's checking for (among other things) instants and sorceries resolving. Otherwise it's not particularly problematic? 7/10 Medical Relief Enchantment - Development Whenever a player gains life, each player who developed Medical Relief puts a +1/+1 counter on up to one creature. Develop 3- (: Note your name and put a development counter on this. Any player may develop this as a sorcery if there are less than 3 counters on this.)

blueseclipse Knowledge from Beyond: I don't think this needs the "not named Knowledge from Beyond" restriction, for the same reason Diabolic Tutor doesn't, but I guess there's no harm in adding it. Still not a fan of unrestricted tutor/wish effects in general, even with the colorless requirement. 8/10."No useful purpose?" What an odd sentiment, as Master Srith would say. "I couldn't disagree more. Entertainment is the only reason the Multiverse exists at all! Well, probably. No one really knows how the Outermost think."And that's another thing he won't understand. For all their advanced tech, I keep forgetting how primitive Outsider meta-cosmology is."But never mind that. It's part of why the World Book exists, at least. Or it was, before the Ark Lords made it into a cultural archive. So... what kind of realm? Well, it's made from stories across the Multiverse, so it has a little bit of everything that wouldn't break the status quo in half. Thank the Void I just have to find them, not figure out how to merge them into a self-consistent plane."Unreal Archive Enchantment If you would choose one or more cards you own from outside the game, choose up to twice that many cards instead. , Sacrifice ~: Choose up to four cards you own from outside the game and shuffle them into your library.

WindyDelcarlo Medical Relief: I don't get the impression that this effect is generally worth 5 mana, even if spread across 2 turns. Though I guess it depends on the number of players and how much lifegain they're running. Not sure this is an effect I'd want to make a Development, but I've soured on multiplayer politics in general lately, so that might be affecting my judgment here. 8/10."Oh. That... really bleeds. I'm not sure what else to say." I pour the tea and bring it to the table, handing one cup to Leira. "But I think I get it. If everyone suddenly stopped telling stories, I'd feel pretty lost as well. I, um, hope Seiva or whoever it was finds you a new assignment soon."Cost of Labor Enchantment At the beginning of your upkeep, you may remove a counter from another target permanent. If you do, put a work counter on ~. , Remove all work counters from ~ and sacrifice it: Draw a card for each counter removed this way.
