Here are my first two entries: Taking a page out of @Suicidal_Deity's book, the first is a personal favorite, while the second is one a lot of other people were impressed by:
@shadow123, first Honorable Dreams is too good for a 2 cost. Drawing three cards is big, then you can load your graveyard with two cards for some grave-combos or flashback costs or other things that care about graveyards. The one discard part is the thing that sets it apart. a 3-for-1 card deal for 2 mana is always good. I would like the cost to be increased by one or something. The card is too flexible for its cost. I really like the design so I favorited, but the card strength is a little too good. I don't know but something could be done to limit the strength of the card.
And Nilani is a whole different level of strong. 1 cost for a 2 cost bonus is much too good. Multiple pairings and combos are possible with this. Too much combos. The cost would need too be 1W. That's my opinion. It is a uncommon which is very weird. Don't know why it isn't a rare.
@DrakeGladis, Firrodin is a little weak as you have to pay three to activate his ability, which the experience counters you have would most likely be three or less so you still have too pay too cast it (sometimes you have to even pay more than that spell costs). I would change the ability cost to UR. Other than that, I love the card.
Ethereal Wolf I see nothing wrong with it but the bestow cost, I think, should be 5G or 3GG or something like that. Overall, your cards are really cool.
For the first card, the fact that it is two colors balances it out. You have to discard a creature that would be useful to you as well to actually make this card good.
For Nilani, I disagree completely. There are very few enchantments with activated abilities with a lot of generic mana in their costs. I did lots of research while making this card, and I also made it that it can’t reduce costs to less than one mana too. For reference, look at Biomancer’s Familiar. It has two abilities, and the first one is a similar effect to Nilani, except it definitely will affect more cards.
In the end, you’re getting judge,and I can’t tell you how to judge cards. Thank you for the feedback. It definitely gave me something to think about on my cards.

Here are two more cards I'd like you to look.
Much appreciated, thank you.
Good luck to everyone else!

Interesting that you think that.
