For Challenge # 123. I decided to do something a little different and made a modal creature. Unfortunately, it ran a little long.

Jack wasn't kidding when he said "finding unambiguously gold effects is really quite hard." I did this challenge 'backwards' and came up with C, D and C/D first. I didn't want to staple two abilities together in the fourth, so I went to Gatherer for some help on CD. Of all the WU cards, I only found two: Reparations (and Reparations Sliver), Restore the Peace and Meddling Mage/Detention Sphere. I also toyed around with the line "Counter the first spell target player casts on their next turn" as a sort of middle ground between Hibernation and Silence. But this card was so aura focused, it would have been weird to change gears right at the end. Took me a while to get Oblivion Ring plus return the auras. Hopefully, it doesn't look as stapled as a number of other weak choices I could have used.

Oh, also thought about naming this creature a 'Commander' for the pun, and making him Legendary, because I would kind of have to at that point. But I needed a shorter name to help with this lengthy text.
