I could add "turn it face up" but that would only matter if there was morph.
Second pass:
Reveal True Form

So, I went with a vertical cycle; playing across CMC and card-type as well as rarity. And decided that since they're big stone statues; that made them colourless. Or, uh, something. Playing with cards in hand to represent knowledge and riddles. Sphinx's Curse, Sphinx's Bargain, Land of the Sphinx, Guardian Sphinx and Phix, the Σφίγξ
Man, this challenge has been bugging me for literally years.
Oh, neat. Graveyard as hit points. I can dig it.
"Or even worse! The sidekick! I don't want to die in a moment of pure pathos, leading the hero to make an ultimate decision!"

This isn't quite right, the quote would be better on the answer card than on the faerie, but that wouldn't make sense on it's own.
I keep playing with various "come back around" mechanics. The flavour for this is the supposed to be the sort of immortality where someone dies, clearly, but you sort of expect them to turn up anyway when things get momentous. A bit like king arthur. Or Anansi in Gaiman. Not "coming back to life" but "oh, you didn't take that too seriously, did you?"
So the idea is, the cmc-5 trigger represents a rare-ish event, something that happens every so often but can't happen all the time. I considered "to hand", but to the battlefield just seemed more interesting. After all, we can choose which cards get the ability.

Not sure how to cost this, or even what colour. Wizards are understandably doing little mass-humility :)
"Help, I think I might be the protagonist" --Jimboy :)
Ah, right. That makes sense, I'm not sure why it didn't come across clearly.
There's a little Flagbearer in there. But I think it works fine in Red.
It's certainly going to be one heck of a counter attack. Not sure what this costs either. That said, there's been a few White cards that have been in this territory in the past. Temper, Sacred Boon, Scars of the Veteran. All decent cards. I don't think they help with the cost, though.
He wants to make certain his hands remain idle. If he can guarantee they remain idle, then they must become the devil's playthings.
Whether his hands are separated from his body, though, I don't know. Personally, I think both images are equally funny.
Jimboy's Fate
ETA: I forgot Captain Knoczhus
ETA: Regress to Childhood
ETA: Fox Mabel
ETA: Junk Troll
ETA: Robin-Go-Right. I love some of these names.
ETA: Outcasts Treefort Ok, that's all of them. Come on guys, I didn't want to take over this challenge myself.

No idea where this goes color-wise.
Oh, so this isn't Soulbound and bonded creature both gain X. It's soulbound and bonded creature do X when they do something together. That's cute. Companionship makes for a good over-arching mechanic for the set, too.
Oh weird. Journey To Nowhere, except it puts the creature in the 'proper' place. And if it works for exile, it should work for the graveyard. Fits the flavor, too, of death as more inconvenience than anything else. Cool.
I don't see a problem with chopping up the quotes. They were only really there to be a jumping off point anyway. As it was, I was thinking of adding "Make up your own attribution" to the quote, since the person being attributed to could be the name of the creature being designed. But I also didn't want people feeling like they had to do that, so I left that off.

No idea how this is going to play out, but I wanted the idea of falling through a portal into a crowd of vicious attacking little things that are very surreal.
Huh, whoa. No combat this turn; double combat next turn. Very odd.
See Challenge # 158.
OK, fog plus GIGANTIC EMBIGGENING. I've no idea what it should cost, but it's hopefully green :)
See Challenge # 158.
Blue combat trick. I really wanted to make this permanent, but it seemed like the simpler version should be made first.
See Challenge # 158.
Repeatable creature-making. But it's more like, ping-attacker-for-1.
But he says he wants to be evil. Wouldn't having evil hands help with that?
The saying being referred to is "idle hands make the devils work" - so he keeps his hands in a box, because they're evil. Very Doctor Strangelove of him.

I didn't exactly understand this quote, but I fell in love with the idea of Captain Knoczhus as a small minded officious bully.
