For Challenge # 029. I originally wanted to have the word "or" between
and 
, but Mulitverse turns 'r' into
. Assume that's the way it would be written on a real Magic card. This card pushes forward to a time past hybrid, where cards can have multiple costs, and there's nothing strange about it.
Also, I rather like 'Planar'. It solves a couple of problems that "Enchant - World" used to have. Enchant World was always a strong Vorthos mechanic, but was reviled by Timmy, since the card has an inherent downside. If my opponent has an Enchant World, then mine will blow up. Now, if my opponent blows up my Planar Enchantment, I have chance of redrawing it and knocking my opponent's Planar Enchantment off the table. It's not all upside, but it helps. The fact that it's a supertype and can be added to any permanent looks good to me as well.
Giggle at "o
". Yeah, I guess I do that. I think it's probably sensible most of the time, but there might be some mileage in letting people turn that off.
As for the actual card: fascinating. Yes, I can definitely see a futureshifted card having two costs. That'd need significant rules support, but nothing the game couldn't handle (where Elfish Meddling might be a step too far and get outright rejected for rules concerns). This is actually kinda cheating because you're introducing two futureshifted mechanics with one card :P Planar also seems workable, and potentially interesting depending on what planar cards are printed, but rather less useful as the only card with its effect.
