Random Generator gave me Dragon Mage and Copper Gnomes. I couldn't decide on which version to create, so I says to myself, I says, "Why not do both"? Not featured: A new keyword called duotwine, that allowed you to either entwine, or reverse the order of the abilities and entwine.

As worded, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to choose the first option if I don't have an artifact in my hand when I cast this. Can the first option have a "you may" as well?

Otherwise, very nice. I like the straight-up Wheel of Fortune sorcery, which I don't think red has had since the old days; and I like the choice of whichever way round you want to do it.

Although it's possible it'd be simpler if it was just "Wheel of Fortune, then you put an artifact from hand or graveyard onto the battlefield".

You know, this is a bit tricky. It's tough to tell which way just reads better. Afterwards, I also questioned why I just didn't let the player do it twice: Once before and once after.

I think the Modal version makes the card 'look' more crazy good, but also requires more thinking, while both your and my version makes the card simpler, and more powerful, but possibly more forgettable. I don't know. I suppose it depends on the player. I'm going to switch to two artifacts, though, because the Wheel can absorb that much power... the ability is already kind of broken.
