(I hope at least someone gets the joke XD)
Rulings
If you play an instant or sorcery spell face-down and activate the Lurk ability, the card is permanently exiled.
If you play a noncreature artifact or enchantment face down and activate the Lurk ability, I believe it will still come back from exile, but it won't be tapped and attacking.
A creature entering the battlefield from exile whilst lurking will cause Enter the Battlefield abilities to trigger. Cast triggers and turned face up triggers will not.
Hmmmmm
EDIT:
Entry 2. Fancy that.
EDIT 2:
Entry three? I might have to start using coloured text again.
If i could get some formatting help to make my cards pictures with clickable links, I'd appreciate it.

His contemplation upon the world and himself allows him to see all, including danger. I felt the card was better without flavour text. It's more understated this way.
Relicbind [cost] ([cost], Exile this card from your hand: When target noncreature artifact is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put this card from exile onto the battlefield under that artifact's controller's control.)
Right now, the mechanic only works if someone actually destroys the artifact with a spell or ability. With my wording, it also works if you sacrifice the artifact. This allows for more fun and interesting gameplay in my opinion, since it allows you to build your deck around the relicbind card for value rather than having it be a burden (i.e. having to mainboard artifact destruction just to cast relicbind things.)
Should make for some fun interactions. Entry 2.
