For Challenge # 064. I took the first obvious answer that occurred to me, and paired up two opposing factions in Ravnica to make a four colored card (for all I know, Wizards may do something like this in Dragon's Maze). This would be how Boros and Dimir interact. After all, someone has to patrol the sewer network... Boros may not have many men involved in the project, but those that can undermine whole criminal networks.

At first, I thought about literally overlapping two keyword abilities... but I wanted to take this card a bit further than that. This card takes a cue from the Boros and Dimir keywords, without completely subscribing to one or the other.

Added Dimir watermark, since the word 'Boros' was represented in the card's name.

Oh, this is very interesting. I like that you have to kill the way of getting counters on this in order to use it. It's already hard to get a use out of it, and that makes it even harder, which is good because repeatedly being able to draw five cards is very powerful.
By the way, I seriously hope that Wizards fuses guilds in Dragon's Maze.
