@bnew07 this count?
Is it granting some form of card advantage?
Yes that does count.
@Faiths_Guide
For reference, entries don't have to grant card advantage they just have to address white's longevity problem in games which is most easily addressed with card advantafe
Well then, I'm confused:
"Prompt
For this challenge, I want you to design cards to showcase other ways to help white gain card advantage."
I think bnew07 means he doesn't want to see symmetrical card draw effect like Happily Ever After.
Basically all 2 for 1 cards can let you gain card advantage. @Fantastickill7's 2nd entry does that.
Yes, no symmetrical draw.
@Fantastickill7's does? Could you explain?
I realize there are a lot of forms of card advantage (per the Reid Duke article I linked on page 1), but I couldn't figure out how Lights Final Blessing worked in any of those ways.
Opponent controls two 1/1s. You cast Lights Final Blessing. That's 2-for-1.
So it's an extremely situational 2+ for 1, not at all guaranteed, right?
"Put a -1/-1 counter on each nonwhite creature." is a powerful effect, but that card is a legendary sorcery, so yeah, it is situational.
Ya, no denying it's powerful!
We all know what the #1 card advantage engine for white is. Give it more potential and the ability to synergize with white's ability to flicker and my mans is going to single handedly take down tyranny.

Those are both acceptable entries.
UPDATED!
Later this evening is perfectly fine.
Here are my entries. I wanted each one to do something different from the others. Hopefully they all do something interesting. Please see my comments under each card and, if anyone would like, please leave comments (and critiques!) of your own. Thank you and thanks to @bnew07 for taking care of all of this.
Oh well
I will give you a 1 day extension.
For the rest of the entrants,
