Hybrid Contest
I recently had a contest that went really well, so I thought I'd try something else. Make a card that uses hybrid mana in some way. This can be in the mana cost, or in the abilities. Old cards are allowed, but new cards are encouraged. Here are some of Wizards various types of hybrid designs:

Hybrid mana is just such a cool idea, I wanted to get people to make a bunch of designs. In addition, I often see hybrid misused on this site, so I'm hoping this contest might help with that. Remember that hybrid cards must encompass a space shared by both colors. Make sure, whatever you do, you stick to the color pie. Consult MaRo's article if needed. Tertiary mechanics don't tend to be on hybrids, but might if the card is cool enough.

Cards will be more likely to win if they are a cool design, a creative use of hybrid mana, or find a niche space in the color pie of the colors. However, keep this to what Wizards might print. Note: a design that uses multiple types of hybrids isn't likely to win, as those won't be printed since they tend to be confusing, but a very creative use could have a shot, and MIGHT even be more likely to win for the creativity if it's designed well and creatively.
Contest closes on September 18th. Prizes:
1st: Follow and 5 favorites of your choice OR 5 favorites of your choice
2nd: Follow and 1 favorites of your choice OR 3 favorites of your choice

(Still need {b}{g/w} and {r}{w/u})
For that cycle I still need a black creature and a red creature.
The black one would have a hybrid green/white and the red would have a hybrid white/blue.
One of my favorite flavor texts ever created. Thoughts on the coloring?
*Edits: changed rarity from common to uncommon
Perhaps going for number 4?
This one actually has a custom ability which I designed to be used specifically with hybrid mana.
Old contest card that just didn't make the cut, but I loved it so here it is again
Here's my take on @Mila 's Pioneering mechanic.
