For Challenge # 071.
Hmmm. Cuuurious. Like a Vedalken Mastermind in artifact form, or a Crystal Shard widened to affect artifacts and lands too. Useful in certain circumstances, so yeah, fair enough.
There's no actual synergy between the white and blue abilities, but they're very similar; it's like saying there's no synergy between the two modes of Barbed Lightning.
I... can't really tell what good the black effect is, but if it's got some use, then whatever use there is probably synergises with the other two abilities to some extent? (EDIT: Um, in fact I was misreading it entirely. It's a marginally-useful recycling ability, not some weird hand-to-library transfer engine. Ignore me.)
This design really sucks. I don't know what I was thinking.
We'll call it a testament to the difficulty of the challenge. I mean, the whole point is to make something that looks right despite the fact that it doesn't look right. Or visa versa. There are no perfect cards in Challenge 71.
