Legendary Tribal Instants with Partner **Circuit Challenge**
About a month ago, I suggested that @MTGCardsmith add Legendary Instants, Legendary Tribal Artifacts, Legendary Tribal Enchantments, Legendary Tribal Sorceries, and Legendary Tribal Instants. On April 24th, they obliged! With the introduction of these new card types, tons new possibilities were created... and then pretty much nothing was done with them. It's about time we change that!
Right now, there is no in-game meaning for Legendary Tribal Instant/Sorcery. Theoretically, the "tribal" card type could be used as a rules modifier, like the "Legendary" card type on Legendary Sorceries. Here is what I have come up with:
(You may cast a legendary tribal instant/sorcery only if you control a planeswalker, legendary creature, or SUBTYPE OF SPELL.)
This new rule should become our new standard for making Legendary tribal spells. That's why this contest exists. However, I recognize that there isn't a whole lot of design space for this new mechanic. So, I will be using some of Maro's new "batching" technology to include my new noncreature partner card rules!
Partner for Noncreature Permanents:
Partner with CARDNAME (When this permanent enters the battlefield, target player may put CARDNAME into their hand from their library, then shuffle.)
(This is a keyword triggered ability)
Partner for Instants and Sorceries:
Partner with CARDNAME (Target player may put CARDNAME into their hand from their library, then shuffle.)
(This is a Keyword action)
Yeah, sure, it's a bit weird to have the same mechanic work differently depending on whether it's attached to a permanent or a spell, but, it works.

Any useful resorces?
This for uploading card images and this for forum coding.

Anyways here's my first entry!
https://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Zelpoke/sets/31772
With the planeswalker I could not put partner so it is shoved in the first slot of the walker. Also, there are a few grammar mistakes in addition. Hopefully that will not matter.
I would like everyone making partners to remember that both halves of the spell should be playable without the need for the other. For example, @TenebrisNemo entered a pair of really cool cards, but Moonlit feast is just much worse if you're playing it before Maiko. If you look at the official partner pairs, neither partner is just "worse" if it's played first. It doesn't matter if you play Soulblade corrupter or Soulblade renewer first- playing them in either order is good no matter what.
Here's some ideas that came to mind as I read this. And, just for a little clarification, I chose human tribal's as ghoulcallers exist. Makes them more useful I would say.
(Also, here's what graf does - https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/graf)
Not sure how well costed the abilities are, but here's a couple of lands with partner that can work well together if your deck (or decks, in 2HG) are built the right way.
Disclaimer: I realise I have used the old shuffle wording on one and the new wording on the other. Will repair soon.
Disclaimer 2: I appear to have cut off target player's hand in Lone Lighthouse. I will stitch it back immediately.
(Notice that Captain's ability is worded so that it will make sense in formats with or without teammates.)
@WickedShadow196 Cool entries!
Yes, but formats without teams don't allude to them.
