Created for Challenge # 130 as a new cyclemate for Diluvian Primordial.
This is the weirdest of the abilities. It's hard to think of a way that green would be up for "reusing instants or sorceries"; this was my best take. The idea is that Rampant Growth goes straight back into your hand (as if you'd ultimated Tamiyo). As does Exploding Borders and Growth Spasm.
Oh yes, that does feel unusual but really appropriate for green!
It's got to be broken with SOMETHING. Well, as broken as a seven-cost card ever can be. But I'm not sure what. It could be snazzy with Genesis Wave, but even genesis-wave-for-four every turn isn't that strong by the time you can afford to cast it. I was trying to think of some sort of flicker effect, but nothing seemed overpowered.
Path to Exile of course, would be pretty overpowering :) But I assume that's not supposed to count (and even if it did, it wouldn't be a one-turn win).
The most broken thing I could think of was Crop Rotation in a sort of underwear gnomes plot. But you would need some third combo piece to break this open, and Crop Rotation is a broken card before the Priordial stepped on the table.
Exploding Borders ain't bad. Kills an opponent 4 castings later, which is 2 turns assuming you got those 7 mana from 7 lands.
Path to Exile is hilarious, but saved by being a "may", so the opponent just chooses not to collect their consolation prize.
