Unique costs of keyword abilities
Some keyword mechanics have their costs. Normally they are just mana, like Dash {2}{r}, Overload {3}{u}, Morph {2}{b}..
But did you know that they can have more costs other than mana if you use hyphen and period? Check out Deep Analysis.
In this challenge, I'd like to see cards with

But normal link is fine:)
Would this one have a period?
I think if the cost has anything other than mana, it would have period. But I'm not sure. Either way that card is ok in this challenge.
Thanks!
Yes. There's no limit in this challenge
Thanks for your entries! Sorry, can you post links to your cards' pages instead next time?

It helps when I want to add your cards to my set/favorite.
( i just now remember @tomigon actually already seen it and commented it. sadly i cant find the art to edit the card. If i find the art I might make a change to it)

EDIT: I've toned it down. It's a little ways down thread.
I remember that card!
@KingWatherton
You make interesting cards:) If you do capitalizing, italicizing, using periods properly, your cards would look neater.
I use 'shuffle your creatures' to mean mix them around so the opponent doesn't know which face-down card is malicious trickster
@Scott_Anderson
Aspect of Aries seems very op. You can put it out and flip it in turn 3, and kill all blockers. 8 damage in the next turn. At least you should pay red mana to flip it, otherwise it's color pie break. Also "When Aspect of Aries is turned face up, it deals ... " is the correct wording.
I'd especially like to see the idea that the keyword's cost helps the card's effect..
It is very strong. It’s either seven mana or three cards, so it should be! You’re right about the colored mana cost.
I will think about it and balance it better.
Thank you for the template help.

Even if I knew about the camouflage, I wouldn't be able to use that text, because the card's text would be so long you wouldn't see the flavour text
Here's one where the cost helps the card's effect
