Control Contest-Closed
I just love the blue strategy: control. From countering cards to destroying your opponents library, from tapping and untapping cards to stealing your opponents' cards, everything blue is just so cool to me! The best part though, is how they fit together to create flawless strategies!
So I challenge you! Make a set of 3 blue cards that work together to create a powerful combination.
Rules:
No jokes; only realistic, balanced cards please.
One set of cards per Cardsmith.
Only blue cards, and preferably staying within the bounds of what blue usually does.
There must be 3 (three) cards in the set. 2 is not enough, and 4 is right out. Okay, if it is really cool, and it's not exactly three, it will probably be fine. I'm not going to be that strict on the Rule of Three.
They can be any combination of creatures, instants, sorceries (or whatever the plural of sorcery is), enchantments, blue artifacts, Planeswalkers, and non-basic islands (aura's, blue artifact creatures and legendary cards are O.K.).
Prizes:
First place: 7 favorites
Second place: 5 favorites
Third place: 3 favorites
2 runners up: 1 favorite
Entries will be judged on:
How awesome they are.
How well they work together.
How good, and fitting, the artwork is.
Whether they follow the rules or not.
Contest ends on May 14 (I may take a little while to post winners)
Good luck and have fun!

Each of these are rather good on their own (Excepting Mind Bomb), but if you have all three out, they are spectacular! (And Mind Bomb gets a little OP) They aren't your normal blue tricks, but after a bit of thought I realized that this contest shouldn't be to restrictive on that front, otherwise it would get rather monotonous.
Enter soon! The deadline is May 14!!!
1. Swirling Memories
2. Youth of Small Gifts
3. Tiny Fluxwave
(Anyone who wants to know exactly how it works, feel free to PM me!)
@DingleDad77, you do not have to make the artwork yourself, but do please credit the artist if you can find their name. Favoriting as a prize, as far as I know (This is my first contest and I am relatively new to MTG Cardsmith, please correct me if I am wrong), is that I favorite up to X of your cards, where X is the prize. Hopefully this was helpful!

First one: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/andreena-soul-of-sea-and-sky?list=user
Second one: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/master-of-the-tide-1?list=user
And the third and final: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/andreenas-haven?list=user
Three control, bounce themed cards. Hope you enjoy them.
1. Ula's Bounty - Draws your second card per turn to enable the second ability of...
2. Merfolk's Familiar - which gets you a 4/4 kraken creature and allows you to scry two and draw another card off Ula's Bounty. It also boosts...
3. Sea Beast Rider for maximum beats, with both a +1/+1 and all the extra benefits the rider gets from controlling a sea beast!
Edit-as you can probably tell, I initially named the last card "kraken companion," please do a mental substitution in the text box of the card's actual name, thanks.

I know, I don't see how I should change it.
Yeah. I might go back and change that later tonight.
