Inspired by Trans-Selesnya Command. Reminiscent of Mystic Speculation. This works out as options like...

  • Sorcery, Tap 2N creatures: Scry 2, N times
  • Enchantment, Tap 4 creatures: Scry 2
  • Sorcery, Tap 2 creatures, Scry 2... then in your next upkeep, um, tap 2N creatures to scry 2 N times then get it back to your hand.

As Vitenka would say, "Freakin WHIRR"...

LOL. That is... very blue :) I'm really not sure quite what it does.

If you rebound it, can you choose different modes but not pay for any of the extra costs? And not both buyback and rebound it?

At least replicate doesn't replicate buyback :)

But I'm worried that even "buyback U replicate U" is too good, even though it doesn't draw cards, it gives you a lot of options for finding a particular card if you can repeatedly scry 2N?

If you rebound it, you can indeed choose different modes. Which is a bit annoying. Rebound will do nothing, but buyback and replicate will work, and convoke will allow you to pay for the buyback or replicate costs.

make everything twos! All 2s all the time!

This is very fun. It reminds me of a zany Mystic Speculation.

Cripes! Would you believe that you beat me to the punch on Challenge # 123 Alex? I was thinking of making a blue/green card that was very similar to this (minus scry), but it looks like you got there first.

Here, I'll show you what I mean. I added it to #123: Mirror Mastery.
