Ironically, design by using color or mana differentiation does the opposite of what this challenge wants. case in point, shadowmoor had exactly what many of you propose: hybrid mana, effects based on colored mana used and color of the permanents. in the end, it ended up being a free-for-all where 3/4/5 color decks were all viable.

that could be due to various reasons. making sure limited goes smoothly. enough dual lands and multicolor lands to support all color pairs and heavily colored mana costs.

i think the right approach is really by color pie intersections or by strictly following the color pair's means and ends. for instance, loves to create tokens. hence populate plays into that favoritism such that populate is less useful when or is paired with other colors. this is chiefly due to lack of critical mass. regardless of how easy the spells are to cast, even without such blatant constraints like this or that color. now since the mana costs are less stringent, you can use weaker duals to discourage 3/4/5 color decks.

As an example, I made: Offense // Defence

Although, doh, the art looks bad squished into a split card. I'm not sure if I have time to fix it tonight :(

Design a split card, or two or more separate but related cards, using art from the cards below.

The art is deliberately cartoony (albeit questionable) to hopefully support multiple interpretations.

from 2/3 haste

I tend to be overly conservative in pricing, but although you're probably right, there's only so much that can be done.

This really doesn't feel like a mythic rare, especially as a 2/3.

So I'm not the only one who went for Asassin's Strike? Mine was Wielder of Melancholy, but now it's a Sip of Hemlock version :p
