Good catch. And it draws you cards through the magical power of love.

White can get cantrips, but it very rarely gets them on creatures. It usually gets them on things that are conditional or that aren't very card-advantage-y.

This'd make a good wu or gw card for limited though.

Then it would need flash.

Wall of Text :u:

0/3
Line breaks are for English majors.

Diethyl Æther :1::u:
Instant

A powerful magical solvent capable of dissociating reality itself.

Baneful Vision :u:
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
When ~ enters the battlefield, tap enchanted creature.
Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step.
Tap an untapped creature you control: attach ~ to that creature. Any player may activate this ability.

I approve of Diethyl AEther's flavor. I think it should be at least though.

P/T on Wall of Text? The flavor text made me smile.

I mean, there will be a lot of times when you can only bounce one creature, and when you can bounce 2, it will often not be the 2 you want to bounce. I think it's conditional enough to justify the cost.

And Wall of Text has always had p/t. And Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

At least make Diethyl AEther like Bile Blight so it doesn't crush aggro so much.

Bounce spells are actually pretty bad against aggro. Making someone pay the cost to recast their guy isn't much of a blowout when their guys cost 1-3 mana.

Mana Equations :2::u:
Enchantment
Whenever you cast a spell, counter each spell you don't control with the same converted mana cost as that spell.
Mana equations are a difficult subject, but they're a requirement for anyone pursuing a degree in wizardry. If you can't handle them, take an easier major like hydromancy.

Maybe "Whenever you cast an instant spell or a spell with flash" for less confusion?

Definitely. It would be COTW level then. Hint. Hint. Or if it hit another creature only if it had the same power and toughness.

Compare to Undo. I think the addition of awkward conditions justifies cutting the cost by :u: and moving it to instant speed.

Into the Void is probably a fairer comparison.

I mean, into the void saw 0 constructed play, and even then, it being unconditional was huge upside.

I like Embargoed Path but I don't like the time commitment on the opponent. It won't matter a lot of the time what color they choose, but the fact that it makes them make a choice means they will think about it. Having your opponent do that every turn with very little pay off is not ideal, especially since the land is almost always going to be an incredible dual land.

I would like this sort of effect more if it were more of a one-shot type deal, like a storage land or something.

In general I am very wary of come into play untapped five color lands with minimal downside (Wanderer's Path, Embargoed Port, Utopia).
