I wanted to toss a smattering more self-exiling cards in the set to help the clean graveyard theme along. Since I wanted it to feel natural, I figured a permanent that takes extra turns would make sense, since recursion would make this card overbearing if it didn't include the self-exiling line. For the card to have some extra legs outside of Time Warp, I also gave the option for any color to use it at a cost by using the already established 3/H (though, the ability to activate this between two player's turns in a group game should be reason enough to play with it).

Works better with Rings of Brighthearth than Time Warp does :3 (Although I guess Time Warp works better with Mirari, so they cancel out.)

Also works better with Sculpting Steel and Phyrexian Metamorph. (But not Reverberate or Dual Casting. OK, I guess they're still balanced.)

This does look quite expensive for what it does, though.

Also works with Ibok, Neurok Engineer ;)

It is expensive for what it does... but I think I can shave {1} off the activation. Now it has some nice repetition of the number 3, costs {6}{u} in one go, or split over two turns... that seems fine. I'm pretty sure that if I made it cost 3 and 3, it would just be better than Time Warp.

Nice. Looks good.
