A Blast From The Past
Hello and welcome to something unoriginal, that could be interesting or just flop.
The challenge is this: I will randomly select a set from magics past and it is your job to create a card from that set, but new, shiny and (hopefully) better. Please follow the usual rules and try to use proper formatting. You will have 2 weeks to make your card and I am allowing 2 submissions per person.
Prizes
1st-4 favourites and a follow or 6 favourites of your choice
2nd- 3 favourites of your choice
3rd- 2 favourites of your choice
Now let's get smithing!

This one always seemed like an odd fit for color pie, a blue enchantment that turned everything into Dragons (it also seemed more like a sorcery than an enchantment). I kept the color, changed the type, and went with a Kraken instead of a bunch of Dragons and got this:
1st: @sorinjace
2nd: @Lastjustice
3rd: @Pauli
Congratulations to all the winners, message me for the prizes.
The next set is the first set, what else but Alpha!

Ooh Alpha
BONUS:
The dexterity card is based on Chaos Orb, but it's more dangerous because you might take an eye out.
It's also not disability-friendly; not everyone can grip and throw a card, nor can everyone stand.
It's space-intensive; not everyone has six feet of space, especially in a tournament setting.
I used the land border to better simulate the old brown artifact border.
It's a Mono Artifact, meaning you tap it to use its ability, but there's no tap symbol on the card.
Boman's Jet is an anagram, like a lot of the older cards. Its original name was Jam(b) Stone.
