if you like it so much there's a certain contest you could nominate it for that i'd love to shoot for three wins in a row with :cloud9:

Let the record show that I, ParadOxymoron, have exerted no force, blackmail, extortion, or perjury upon the user known as Mata Hari, neither with the contents of this post nor otherwise.

a flash bear that draws a cancel sounds pretty strong

Because if you cast it in one turn I didn't want the color intensity to be any higher than , and on its own is the cost of a 2/2 flashbear.

Sadly, I knew this already. I was just hoping nobody would point it out.

A stupid design that nobody should respect or pay any attention to but that I wanted to post anyway:

Avatar of the Infinite
Legendary Enchantment Creature — Avatar (M)
Avatar of the Infinite enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is twice the amount of mana spent to cast it.
“A long time ago—actually, never; and also, now—nothing is nowhere. When? Never. Makes sense, right? Like I said, it didn't happen. Nothing was never anywhere. That's why it's been everywhere. It's been so everywhere, you don't need a ‘where.’ You don't even need a ‘when.’ That's how ‘every’ it gets.”
—Bill Wurtz,
history of the entire world, i guess
0/0

: Target creature gets +0/+1 until end of turn.

“I go wherever the winds take me. Today, they take me to you.”

Open Your Eyes
Instant (C)
Each player draws two cards, then discards down to their maximum hand size.
"The path to the truth is often too muddled with nuance to realize its walker's full potential."

Inspired by the way drawing works in Hearthstone as a way to move blue stuff into red.

By chance I was just thinking of making a card that used those three tokens. That would’ve been a good entry in the batching contest

Preferred Pronoun Set:
Sorin's Final Gambit
Sorcery (M)
You control target player during that player's next turn. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you lose the game.
Sorin could think of no weapon that could bring an end to Nahiri besides the blades she forged herself.

Inspired by Gavin's hint that next Commander set will have a permanent with the text: "You control your opponents while…" and thinking about what kind of ludicrous drawback or condition could possibly make an ability like that balanced.
