Mayora see a giant tsunami coming at her and promptly make an answer.
" To fight a natural disaster, create another natural disaster ! Drought !" Then , she put her hand , palm to the sky and summon a great great heat wave to evaporate a part of the tsunami coming at her, to survive to this tsunami... Ingenious, didn't it ?
La'ayiv shifts the parallel, moving the earthquake to another version of the same plane, in the same place as this earthquake. The best way for a disaster to be stopped is for it to never happen.
Card notes: I think I made a mistake, can you treat it as though I made a rare? It should be, but I don't have premium so I can't edit the card, and I hate remaking cards.
Also, what's our current max CMC?
The first wave is gone, but there might be more to come. Bagej needs insurance that his mortal pawns won't be swept away. And so he speaks to a select forty mages or so in their dreams. He leads them up the spire. Enntranced, each night, he whispers them secrets of a powerful hieromancy, one with which, if they came together, they could stop any wave.
And indeed they do. Every night, they take turns and watch. Every time watery danger comes, they protect the other cultists. They protect the vessel of Bagej.
And to lighten the mood, they make a song and dance of it!
Storm Petrel are a northern Pacific bird that actually burrows into the ground and crevasses to escape the harsh weather.
*"Storm Petrels are a northern Pacific bird". Petrel's is a contraction for Petrel is, or a possive (Petrel's significant doubts about that last gram of bath salts)
Aside from the grammar, very nice cards! The zone exchange is very unique, and not done a lot on magic cards
It is 4 mana though.
Edit: Now that I think about it, you kinda have a point. I'll see if I can rebalance it, thank you.
It is versatile, but also limited. Maybe make the Obelisk of Tide more specific.
Guys, GUYS. No need to make a big deal out of this. I knew what I was doing, and am aware of the dangers of messing with the colour pie, but I like to experiment. Besides, having blue be the only colour with good counterspells is a valid complaint, and also one of the main reasons I love blue. I will try to bring this goodness to other colours, because Bagej is attempting transcedence anyway, even if that brings me down on points.
2nd, the challenge:
The quickest option of evading the tornado was the alteration of their own bodies. With the help of the newfound allies, they turned themselves into shadows to evade any harm.

Now, without further ado, here is the next challenge!
Challenge 5: Planeswalker's Pick
After having not died in the disaster, you explore the Overlay and, while doing so, find a secret room. All that is in the room are 2 objects. Welcome planeswalker. You hear a strange voice that reverberates all around you. I see you have found the room of power! Now, you may take one and only one of these powerful artifacts. Once one leaves it’s pedestal, the other will disappear. Choose wisely.
This challenge is a split challenge! This means you choose one of 2 options, and you get different new stats and have to complete a different challenge depending on which you choose!
Option A:
Take the artifact on the right. You gain:
~A New Color
~1 Legendary Slot
~1 Mythic Slot
Create the artifact. It must be a legendary colored artifact monocolor in your new color.
Option B:
Take the artifact on the left. You gain:
~1 More max CMC
~1 Legendary Slot
~1 Mythic Slot
Create the artifact. It must be a legendary artifact, either colorless or colored in one or more of your current colors.
And with that, Good Luck, Have Fun, and Happy Cardsmithing!
Well done on taking my No.2 spot. I'm not salty, but I hope to get back at you this time
