The second ability here seems crazy strong. A Night of Souls' Betrayal that you can switch on and off (especially turning it on during opponents' turn and off on your turn) is a very powerful thing. Getting to pay only 3 mana total for that seems very cheap, though I guess you do have to pay it every turn you want it.
As with Alchemists' Guild, this should be rare... some of the others in the cycle like Lawyers' Guild look like they could get away with either uncommon or rare, but it'd be natural to put them all up at rare. This is what happened with the Vault of the Archangel/Gavony Township cycle - a couple of them like Desolate Lighthouse or Nephalia Drownyard could have been uncommon, but some of them definitely needed to be rare so the whole cycle was brought up to rare.
This is indeed a reference to the Discworld Diet of Bugs, but that itself is (as L-space points out) a reference to the real world historical event the Diet of Worms, a months-long imperial council of the Holy Roman Empire in 1521, notable for being where Martin Luther was interviewed by the Emperor and where the Emperor officially proclaimed Luther to be a heretic.
Whoa! Awesome card. Easily powerful and exciting enough to be rare.
I think you also need to add "You may choose new targets for that spell" to both abilities (which also means you should probably make both say "you control" as well).
Who wants to eat something that eats bugs? You know, besides humans. Because we seem to have no problem with poultry. Though, the more I think about it, the more it kind of wigs me out.
That said, since this set is based on Discworld, I assume it refers to the truce between Dwarves, Vampires and Werewolves called the Diet of Bugs:
I'm not clever enough to know that off the top of my head, though. Had to look it up. I like Pratchet's work, but I've only read 'Going Postal', 'Thud!' and 'Making Money'.
I have no idea what this card is referencing, so it made me say "What?" out loud.
The first ability has to say "from werewolves and from vampires," or it only offers protection from things that are both.
Hm. You should have reminder text for belief, especially on commons. Should belief only refer to creatures you control? Or is it intended to count everyone's creatures?
Yes. By the time the spell is on the stack, the targets have already been chosen.
