Random Generator gave me Avoid Fate and Howling Mine. I was looking forward to getting a Mine or one of its clones, but Avoid Fate wasn't exactly the sort of card I thought I'd be mashing it up with. "Counter target spell that targets a permanent you control, then everyone draws a card?" doesn't sound very exciting. I thought of using the Mine's "needs to be untapped to work" with a "Tap: Avoid Fate" ability, but either it was degenerate, or no fun, or didn't really look like the two cards. I like this version, but it is a pity that Reparations already popped up. They're probably going to fight for space.
Yeah, it's a shame those are so similar. But this one is great -- it's almost MORE simple than the originals, and yet clearly a mash-up.
Ha, ha! I was thinking about that too, after the fact. I also removed Cycling from (((Snippity Chronozoa))) (because it didn't make too much sense on that creature anyways), which also comes really close to being simpler than both cards it was mashed from... if the ability itself didn't boggle your head.
