Yeah, I really don't like Fact or Fiction... but I already knew I wasn't a Spike. :)
Anyway, to me, it sounds like you're bleeding Johnny into your Spike a little by asking for a test of skill. I thought Spike just wanted to win, no matter what, and would therefore always play the "best" cards and decks?
Heh. Spike wants to show off how smart he is. If the contest is run correctly, it shouldn't cater to under-powered threats, but give bonus points to cards that can be minutely optimized, require skill to play, and tests Spike's thinking power against it's opponents. It doesn't hurt to have an aggressive cost, either. For those reasons, Fact or Fiction is often trumpeted as the Spikiest card in existence. If you don't like that card, you just don't have any Spike in you.
So, evaluating this card by Spike's harsh standards, I would say: "Okay, cute. It gives me a bonus that I will always use, since I won't play with black. That being the case, why didn't it give me a bonus that wouldn't be used in Red or Blue either, since I'm clearly not playing those colors (I'm assuming that Spike is going to forget that this card will appear in a Hybrid set). Also, if you really want to test my skill, though, why not, instead of giving a bonus to non-black creatures, give the bonus to blue, black and red creatures? That way, I've got to think to make this spell operate... and suddenly, I'm made aware that this card is probably in a Hybrid set. I could pack this in a deck full of White/Blue Hybrid creatures, or Red/Green Hybrid creatures and feel smart about it.
As for the graveyard shenanigans, that's nice. Personally, though, I think I'm going to forget to activate this on occasion, and that will make me feel dumb... and I HATE feeling dumb. Maybe this would be best if it activated for a bonus, then exiled itself? Then I could get optimum value out of my spell, find sneaky ways to discard it to get a quick effect, but not have to keep thinking about the damn enchantment in my graveyard, when I could be thinking about more important interactions in my deck. (Also, you probably don't have to bother with 'non-color' in the graveyard. I think you got the point across with the first ability)."
Still trying to make a Spike enchantment (see Vestiges of Hope).
I'm entering a contest where I have to design an enchantment care with CMC 3 or more... and it has to be something Spike would want. I am, unfortunately, terrible at knowing what Spike wants.
Oh, happy birthday! I love Twilight Princess. :D
Actually, I like it better than Skyward Sword.
This isn't particularly relevant, but: it was my birthday this week, and I got a Wii with Twilight Princess! I'm so looking forward to playing it ^.^
It would appear that I had copied the wrong link address. Oops.
Yeah, that seems to just be the URL for a whole forum thread, not an image. Try again.
Foo, my image didn't work.
First strike is a mechanical necessity, because without it, he'll never get his first kill. Lifelink is there because of all the hearts Link's enemies tend to drop. I think red works, but that it could definitely be dropped and probably make as much, if not more, sense.
Green, definitely; white, plausibly. Red I'm not sure about. I can believe there are good arguments for first strike and lifelink but I'm not sure I see them. (First strike if he were using the Hook Shot or some such, sure, but that'd correspond to having fetched an equipment that provides first strike, surely?)
Yeah, though it's more like they gain "Kicker
- Rise from the Grave." Sorta.
Thanks. :)
The colors and lifelink make sense, right?
Heh. Successive boss-slaying leads to leveling up and better equipment. Nicely done sir :)
Fuunky. All my Nip Gwyllions and suchlike turn into Rise from the Grave.
You could compress the second sentence down to "Spells that spell's controller cast cost
more to cast this turn." That'd be a minor change when used on things like Urza's Rage, but worth it for the reduction in text.
Does this need to say all this, or can it just say "Spells that spell's controller cast cost
more to cast this turn?" Or "Spells the countered spell's controller casts cost 
more to casts this turn?"
Changed wording...
