I'm really not sure about that last ability, but I was looking for effects divided up between colours. Every colour gets a tiny bit of own-colour search sometimes. White gets tutor for artifacts and enchantments. Blue gets instants and sorceries and creatures with flash. Red maybe gets sorceries? Green gets lands and creatures. Black gets everything but not usually a subset of that.
No-one gets planeswalkers, which makes sense, but Ajani, Mentor of Heroes suggests it might be G or W.
Can I put that together to be "non-permanent"? And then I added other effects which seemed on theme for G, W and G/W...
I think that effect makes perfect sense in
.
Yes, that's a clever find for a
effect that's not 
or 
or 
.
The card overall looks about
more expensive than I thought it'd be though.
Thank you both!
I had no idea on cost, I tried to keep the abilities balanced but it was hard, and I wasn't sure how much they'd cost. I was also scared of accidentally creating a "free" or mana-accelerant spell, especially a tutor... I will try it at a lower cost for now.
4GW -> 2GW
It's a tough card to cost. Early Harvest is 3 mana, Vitalize is 1, To Arms! is 2 with a cantrip. (Rude Awakening was rather more expensive but had other things going on.) Creeping Corrosion is 4, and a slightly-restricted Diabolic Tutor is probably 3 mana in gold.
So if you're getting a 4-mana effect and a 3-mana effect, how much should that cost? Probably 5, I suppose.
As of the printing of Call the Gatewatch, I would say this is the right color combination.
I forgot this was my card! Yeah, I'm pleased how that last ability turned out.
