Edit: how about Phobia of (quality)? Conveys exactly what needs to be conveyed.
@jpastor @Corwinnn: what think you?
Did a complete U-turn and went with Fear of quality, since it sounds so much better. I'll just pretend the old fear doesn't exist. This card is basically a whole bunch of references, MtG and otherwise, thrown together. When I saw Fear of, the first thing I thought of was Progenitus, and Fear of Everything obviously led me to Norin the Wary. I was initially going to make it a female Norin counterpart called Nora the Cautious, but once I saw the pun opportunity there was no looking back. Flavour text was another golden chance I couldn't miss. The power/toughness might seem too high on an explore creature, but it's actually fairly arbitrary considering it won't usually stick around until combat, with even a land played by the opponent sending it back to hand. The value is in the repeatable explore. It's also balanced by being in a colour combination that can't really abuse the repeatable explore. It escapes the likes of The Eldest Reborn, any planeswalker with a removal ability, Dead Weight, Seal Away, Oblivion Ring, Arrest/Pacifism, and Ravenous Chupacabra, the latter prompting me to put it in RIX and not XLN. Mythic because 'X of Everything' is a very splashy and cool looking keyword that deserves to be mythic (also the rare symbol colour doesn't look good on gold cards XD).
And a cycle of allied dual lands using Hazard by TemurGideaon (TheCenterOfTheUniverse, sorinjace, Dechujoh64 version)
(I know it is supposed to be for creatures, but I decided to do something different with it.)
Edit: I just realized that I forgot to put the "enters tapped" clause, so just pretend they all have that because I don't really want to remake them all.
Entry 2, using phalanx by @Jonteman93. Phantom Lancer was the first thing I thought of when I saw the phalanx mechanic.
