Quick Challenge — White Card Draw [RESULTS & FEEDBACK AVAILABLE!]
Hello everyone!
I'm hosting this quick contest after some debate in the Rezatta thread over White's card draw abilities. As you may know, White is slowly getting more card draw effect in recent sets, but WOTC is still trying to find the correct way to do it while respecting the colour pie. Here are some recent examples:
Now, I challenge you to make some monoWhite designs that draw you cards! Here are the rules:
In addition, here are some rules for the contest itself:
I hope you'll get inspired by this quick little challenge!
I'm curious to see with what you all will come up =D

Here are some recent examples:
Now, I challenge you to make some monoWhite designs that draw you cards! Here are the rules:
- Each entry must be monowhite.
- Each entry must allow you to draw one or more cards.
- The card draw ability must respect the colour pie philosophy. No colour-shifted Divination.
- The card draw ability cannot simply be a cantrip. (A cantrip just adds "draw a card".)
In addition, here are some rules for the contest itself:
- The deadline is in one week, on Sunday, March 21st
- Each participant can submit up to three entries
- Old cards are allowed
- Text-only cards are allowed but you must link the illustration that would go with it
- Rewards are:
- 1st place: 5 favourites of your choice
- 2nd place: 3 favourites of your choice
- 3rd place: 1 favourite of your choice
I hope you'll get inspired by this quick little challenge!
I'm curious to see with what you all will come up =D

Also are we allowed to do something that's card advantage but not necessarily card draw? Like "impulsive draw" in red?
Sure, any effect that ressembles card draw is fair game ^^

Thanks for entering! =D
Just to give you a heads-up, I am going to consider Soul Purging as a cantrip — and therefore against the rules — as it is ultimately a card with a weak effect with "draw a card" so it replaces itself. I know it's a little weird to have this rules because some examples I gave in the introduction (namely Farsight Adept, Happily Ever After and Shatter the Sky) could also be considered cantrips, but I'll consider it an exception if the way it's drawing cards is meant to explore specific White design space.
Sorry!

Both of the cards have embedded links. I made the second one's card draw conditional, if that's okay.
That's perfectly ok, thanks for entering! =D
Hey, thank you for participating! ^^ I'm going to rule Feel to Victory as a cantrip, which would be against the rules of the challenge, unfortunately. >.< Sorry!

was gonna make a new card but then I realized that I had one card exactly like this from my more underrated sets.

Hey! Thanks for entering! ^^
As mentioned in the introduction, the number of entries per participants is limited to three cards, and you've submitted four. Would you mind removing your least favourite? ^^

Quite a fun card in my opinion, but it might be a bit too OP
The art is originally from here, but I don't know the exact artist: https://sv.bagoum.com/cards/900224010
Edit: Yes, when you blast a 1/1 with it, it becomes a cantrip, but I hope it still counts, because why would you ever do that lol
Don't worry, this definitely doesn't count as a cantrip
