"Reyhsia, I hope your recovery's going well. I have some questions about the hat, if you don't mind—I think they're oddly pertinent to the nightmare rifts.

Anyhow, both of them seemed to partially suppress the rift—prevented passage through and at least seemed to suppress its mental influence. When the rift was blasted partially open, though, the hat's interdict had another wonderful property—whatever that space past the rift is, the interdiction made it gradually decay. And ours didn't.

You gain 2 life for each opponent that owns an exiled card. : If Interdictor Cap is on the battlefield, exile target creature.

"Hey, Karina!"// Hannah is typing on her transceiver as she arrives, her grin visible from miles away. Even after stopping, she doesn't stand still."It's done! Every flower around my tunnel has been successfully sent through the tunnel to Entela, and we can join them whenever you're ready!" I smile brightly at Karina. Today might be the day. Will she like it there? Of course she will, I'm sure she will.
"I've got the next few days off, and I've brought everything with me. We can leave whenever!"// Karina takes stock of everything she's carrying with her, nearly everything she has at all Transceiver. Necklace. Comm. SIGHT. Taser. Bag with clothes, the gauntlet, and the things for later. Spear. ...Spear."Uh... will I be able to bring the spear with me?"Karina, the Prepared Legendary Creature - Human Scout Flash When Karina, the Prepared enters the battlefield, attach any number of Equipment you control to it. 2/2 Long Departure - hmm, think this is a smidge too close to hard removal for .

Karina sure is prepared, but this is definitely a white card and not a blue-red one. 7/10

You may cast it for as long as it remains exiled, and may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast it. [Call aid for Glimpse the Unthinkable, since I'm pretty sure Karina doesn't want to be remembering this crap and trying to grab memories of Kirino seems like it might be a disaster.]

My eyes dart to Hannah, still fixated on the tunnel. My smile fades away as I think about how I got here. "I don't know very much about Kirino," I deflect. "She tried to help me before she died." Her memories still float by on occasion. "She did help me just before she finally did."
"As for me, I come from a plane called Festenya. It's a really, really, big city, where it's nighttime for more than half the day."// Karina closes her eyes and turns her head to the ground. "I don't know how I ended up on the Arena, exactly." I can feel myself trembling. "I was being mind controlled until the night Kirino died, and I don't remember much."
"You might want to talk to someone with a happier life. Mine's not very fun to learn about."Painful Memories Enchantment Whenever a player casts a spell, if they didn't cast it from their hand, Painful Memories deals 2 damage to any target.

But if she does not wish to know..."I note that your family name happens to be the same as hers. What was your relation to her?""Are you aware of what became of her?

However, as you say, she wished to thank me, and offered me a 'payment', as Hannah put it. Do you... understand why?"
Accept Gifts is really hard to balance around since paying life comes up infrequently but when it comes up it comes up massively. It's probably fine? It's no Sanguine Blood, that's for sure. 8/10

"I've got some questions about something that might involve putting a stop to that hat."There is no escape, Karina I freeze. I never told him about it. He had been wearing a hat when we met.
He had taken it off, I reminded myself.
So did you, I reminded myself.

Remember, white's only supposed to Disentomb small things, not big things. Also, this is kinda a lot of cards for 3 mana, especially given that Pull from the Deep and now whatever the variant in WAR is cost 4 at sorcery speed and only get two spells. EOT get back Snapcaster, Verdict, Bolt? Unfortunately can't rate it much above 6/10.

cajun "I'm not following you, I'm trying to help the 7's which you are a part--" and now there were walls around me. Brilliant. I sighed, taking out my lighter and flicking it on. I really needed Vivien right now. "Look, I'm trying to investigate!" I shouted through the stone wall. Hopefully she could at least hear me. "The 7's told me about the hat, alright? Ask Kauriga, Severin, sun guy... what's his name... Arueth! Ask Arueth!" I said. I closed my eyes and focused - push comes to shove I could walk, but I needed this girl to not scream bloody murder every time she saw me, especially because I haven't done a god damn thing.Locked Up Enchantment Whenever a creature you don't control deals damage to you, activates an ability, or is tapped as part of paying a cost, detain it. Whenever a planeswalker you don't control activates a loyalty ability, it can't activate loyalty abilities during it's controller's next turn. "Lock her up - but don't toss the key. I've got some choice words for her."You will pay for your insolence one day. Perhaps not here, not now, not on this plane."Listen, I know what it's like to lose control of your body, to wake up and not be where you were last night. It's terrifying."But wherever you go, We will find you. And We will torment you.Sevid, Atlas Warden: +1 could probably be nonland(goes against the whole atlas thing I know but hitting lands it pretty feelsBad) instead of noncreature, -3 feels fine for 6, -8 should probably be target opponent but I'm unsure. 8/10.

You will pay for your insolence one day. Perhaps not here, not now, not on this plane.But wherever you go, We will find you. And We will torment you. "Little intern? What's the trouble?" "I think the hat tracked me down again." There's a slight growl. "Alright, stay with me, I'll alert Reyhs.""The 7's told me about the hat, alright? Ask Kauriga, Severin, sun guy... what's his name... Arueth! Ask Arueth!"Maybe... maybe he's telling the truth?
That's exactly what the hat would do to make you think that.
// Karina stands wordlessly, spear pointed at the rock room, her breathing ragged"Listen, I know what it's like to lose control of your body, to wake up and not be where you were last night. It's terrifying." "You think that stupid void has anything on what you did to me?" I yell at the walls. "On what you're doing to him?" I can feel myself shaking but I don't care. "It's over! You lost! And I'm not going to let you hurt anyone else."Paint the Town Red Sorcery For each artifact and enchantment your opponents control, that player sacrifices that permanent unless they have Paint the Town Red deal 3 damage to them. // Karina takes a hand off the spear to pull a pair of goggles out of her bag and straps them on. Locked Up - first part seems p bad since the detain is going to wear off before it can actually stop anything in most cases. Second line's a good hate piece tho. 7/10

cajun re: Locked Up: That moment when you forget how the mechanic you bought works ...Void? What I did to her? What I'm doing to me..? Oh. She thought I was possessed by the hat. "Listen, in case you haven't noticed, I wasn't wearing a hat. I don't know if the damn thing can make it look like you're not but--" I cut myself off, taking a deep breath. "Look, I don't know what I have to say for you to think I'm not possessed by a hat. But would someone who wants to hurt you try to tell you about that same someone? I don't think I'd be trapped in this box if I didn't mention the hat, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for me to bring it up." You have much more to fear than the hat.Great. Now I'm reasoning with a paranoid child, who is likely traumatized, and I'm trapped in a stone box like a dead man buried under the city streets.You made the wrong friends, Karina dearest.Pointless Logic Instant ~ deals 3 damage to any target. If a creature or planeswalker dealt damage this way would be put into it's owner's graveyard this turn, exile it instead. "Say what you want - I'm still going to kill you."(Based on Annihilating Fire) Still, beats that Tuesday at the pub.--- Try as Rolt may, something about this situation still feels wrong. Like it never should have happened in the first place. Paint the Town Red: A bolt per artifact/enchantment. Ouch if those are important. Also, red touching enchantments is a nono, even in a choice like this, I feel. 7/10.

"No, that's exactly what the hat would say."No, that's exactly what some innocent person would say."Your tricks won't work on me anymore.

Your lies won't work."Please be the hat."Sevid... can you bring down the walls so I can see his head?" "Say when." The walls start creeping back into the ground. I have her stop with the walls just below his eyes.
No.
The SIGHT shows nothing. There's no illusion. There's just a little girl that ruins everything she touches."Sevid, false alarm," I whisper. "You sure, little intern?" "All clear." I switch off the comm and crumple to the ground before the rock walls do the same.// When Rolt is out, he finds the kid sitting on the ground, hugging her legs into her chest and crying into her knees."I'm sorry.

I'd say I don't know how I feel about it but it's a Spellskite so yeah. Survives Bolts. 9/10. I sighed. She was right about that, yet also wrong about that. Her calling for backup. I sat down in the cage, unscrewing my flask. Just my luck - as soon as I sit, the walls start to come down. I remain seated until it lowers just below my eyes, staring towards her with her goggles. As the walls lowered further, I remained on my ass, looking towards her rocking back and forth like a child's rocking horse. I sure as Hell wasn't going to get any answers from her like this."Told you, kid."I take a swig from my flask, and stand up, slowly approaching her. I talk as I walk, my hands up."I don't need an apology. Like I said, I know what it's like to wake up and not know how you got somewhere."I drop my flask while I'm halfway to her, it's contents spilling out onto the grass."I don't know what that hat did to you. But clearly it's made your life a living Hell. And I'm sorry you had to go through that."I finally make it to her, standing over her. "But there's no good in always accusing everyone you don't like of being possessed. That'll get you killed."I extend a hand to her, offering to help her stand up."There's a method to the madness, kid."Madness Methodology Instant Exile target creature, then return it to the battlefield tapped.

I nodded as she told me what it made her do, sighing as she ignored my hand. I sat down a few feet back from her as she told me she had her method figured out. I chuckled. - couldn't help myself."Had this happened a couple days ago, I'd say your evidence was sound. Unfortunately for you, you didn't stop to think about it."
"You were right to suspect me when Sunspear was dead. I'll admit, my timing was shit. Except, I assume now you know what happened to him after talking to Hanska. So you knew I had nothing to do with it."
"I already told you at that point I was buddy buddy with the 7's. And don't they have a new routine that inspects anyone wearing a hat? So you had circumstantial evidence at best."
"Speaking of circumstantial evidence, we did keep running into each other. But that's in a pretty small place, and while we were both looking for answers to the same question."I rummaged around in my coat and pulled out a flask - the one I used at Hanska's to fill up with tea."So in reality, you were paranoid and afraid. And that's exactly what your enemies want. The more confused you are, the more likely they can catch you off guard. It's important to remain calm."I didn't expect to much of my lecture to stick - she was just some kid. I offered her the flask. "It's Hanska's tea.

Tribute to Hubris: Absolutely love this mini- Imprisoned in the Moon! 9/10. "Sevid Fesse, I guess..." say Aylin as she studies the woman. She could feel the statue crumbling to dust or... sand?Something is off she thinks. Not only does the Gem of Allure glimmer when Sevid speaks the word "sand", but the fact that the statue turned into a different element catches Aylin by surprise. A geomancer would've reduced the statue to dust or rubble, not change its primary components. Besides, it all happens without whatever spell Sevid cast triggering any of the wards she set. Her theory is right, this woman is no geomancer, but then what exactly is the extent of her power? "Care to explain why the hell you raised those statues of Malextros?" she adds spitefully "Better think of something good or what I did back then will be mere child's play!"Vanity's Cost Sorcery Target permanent deals damage equal to its converted mana cost to its controller.

"I couldn't care less about your name! Whether your name is Sevid or Det, you're the one I'm looking for. Now answer me this: Care to explain why the hell you raised those statues of Malextros?"

Mend: pretty cool simple effect, 9/10. "Fine" replies Aylin with a sadistic smile "Then you better hope that the person I'm looking for is eavesdropping, or there won't be much you can do..."She violently clenches both fists as she releases the spell she's been silently charging. A geomancer would've felt it coming from ten miles away, they would've felt the spell being cast and known what would happen before Aylin even had a chance to unleash it, but she's sure "Sevid" is not one, so she's taking a gamble.Peaks begin rising around Sevid's muffin shop. But the peaks themselve are not the threat: their appearance is only a side effect of Aylin displacing the layers of ground and rock immediately under the building. With those gone, it is only natural that it will crumble down under its own weight and get swallowed by the abyss that waits for it underneath.Topple from Below Sorcery Destroy target land. Its controller sacrifices an artifact. A strong foundation means nothing when there's a geomancer involved.

Mend: pretty cool simple effect, 9/10. "Fine" replies Aylin with a sadistic smile "Then you better hope that the person I'm looking for is eavesdropping, or there won't be much you can do..."She violently clenches both fists as she releases the spell she's been silently charging. A geomancer would've felt it coming from ten miles away, they would've felt the spell being cast and known what would happen before Aylin even had a chance to unleash it, but she's sure "Sevid" is not one, so she's taking a gamble.Peaks begin rising around Sevid's muffin shop. But the peaks themselve are not the threat: their appearance is only a side effect of Aylin displacing the layers of ground and rock immediately under the building. With those gone, it is only natural that it will crumble down under its own weight and get swallowed by the abyss that waits for it underneath. The elf watched with a calm face as the building collapsed into the void. Her teeth gritted into a smile. You got everyone out. The locking spell should hold the building together. The tunnels can be redone. She hasn't caused any permanent damage yet.
But she doesn't know that.
"Wow! I'm glad you checked to make sure the place was empty before you did that! Means that was awesome instead of horrifying!" The maps swirl around her. "I'll add your newest work to my perfect map right away!"
Alright kid, you got whatever your stupid revenge plot was all about. Now leave before you do something you'll regret.Object Permanence Instant Permanents you control gain indestructible until end of turn. Spells and abilities your opponents control can't cause you to sacrifice permanents this turn. "Long as I'm the one holding this map, isn't a thing in the world that's gonna put a scratch on this."
// The bakery, and any of its inhabitants, lies at the bottom of the abyss. It seems Sevid Fese isn't here after all.
Topple from Below - so the thing to compare here is Demolish, and weirdly I think this might be worse? Not being able to snipe the artifact you want can def be an issue at times. Don't have any like, mechanical issues with it tho so have a 8/10

cajun I looked up to the sky, holding the flask closer to myself. "I never said you shouldn't be paranoid." I said. "But all good things come with moderation." I looked back to her. "I was a detective before I was a planeswalker. I survived that long by being paranoid. But you can't go around accusing people of wearing a hat every time a fly breaks wind." I took a swig - hmm, still tastes of alcohol. Glad she refused it."I'll give it to you - suspecting me was pretty clever. Maybe I didn't kill Aiden - but maybe I didn't have to, if I was the hat. But you have to be the right amount. Locking me in a room would work sometimes - but you knew I could planeswalk out of there like a restaurant manager angry at the kid who keeps shooting spitballs at him. The greatest way is to plan. If you had suspicions, or even knew I was the hat, then you could plan around that. Feed me false information, lead me astray, keep a close eye on me." I motioned to her ear. "Sounds like you've got connections. Could use them to keep an eye on the suspect too." I thought for a moment, before another swig.Yes, advise her on how to treat her enemies..."And if one of your crew is possessed, develop hand signals and body language. The later you can spring a trap, the less time your enemy has to react."Rolt, Master Detective Legendary Creature - Human Rogue When ~ enters the battlefield, investigate twice. Whenever an artifact you control is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may pay . If you do, detain target creature. Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, surveil 1. "I'm a detective before I'm a planeswalker, kid."3/3 We do not need to evade your pathetic methods.(I'm aware the ft probably wouldn't fit on a card) Karina, Properly Paranoid: Natural hexproof feels like a little much, but probably fine. 10/10.

If the hat was going to take you with it, which it would, it'd take extra time. Enough time to stop you." It was true, but I hadn't exactly thought about that before calling the lockdown.toI sighed heavily and stared at the ground. "Those are better plans though. I'll try to keep that in mind.

mostly a flavor bit, but synergizes with and punishes the surveil Rolt, Master Detective - aaa there is so much going on. think it all checks out especially now that blue's getting 4/5 fliers for four 9/10

cajunI shrugged. "Glad to hear it. Now, I know you won't like me even if I'm not wearing the hat, but at least you can vouch for me in that regard."The hat is not the only one to fear.Learn from Mistakes: I like it. 9/10 but that hella flavor text, 10/10.
