  Thank you for the feature! This was really unexpected, and I’ve really enjoyed being a part of this site for the past few years.

  @TheDukeOfPork in cosmic reign, can't you not play the cards you draw, so its worthless?

  @The_333_ It's a Johnny card, it's up to you to set up a board state before you cast it to try and make an extra draw each turn useful.  Or somehow make an opponent play it

  Here's my entry into the Epic contest. I think this works well.

  Hold on hold on. Do you understand that when you have five mana with this card in hand you can mill 20 or more cards and then win the game? That's way too overpowered with the "mill X cards from the top of your library clause". I think that the sacrifice and discard are fine because the card is in black and red and not white or blue. I would increase the coloring to prevent splash because that card is really powerful.

  @SPyBondPlays I hadn't seen it that way, but you're absolutely right! XD

  Good job @hileandr, you beat me to making a modal Epic spell.  It's a great idea to introduce some choice in the mix so it's not all one-note for the rest of the game.

  My thoughts exactly! Great minds think alike.

  I've been around since Odyssey and Onslaught days so I wanted to make a card to take advantage of all the morph flip effects I saw back then.  Limited the mana cost of the creature you can search so you just don't grab Krosan Cloudscraper and call it a day.

  Manifest is another great idea to give ongoing usefulness to lands once the player can't cast spells anymore.  Would've been great to see a better power balance and distribution of usefulness across the different modes rather than having modes 2 and 3 be "servants" of mode 1, even if it meant going down to two modes (E.g., Exile target permanent.  Return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of that player's next end step.)  This suggested wording would achieve the goal of getting a free flip for manifested cards as well as get blockers out of the way on your opponent's side and/or deny them the use of the targeted permanent during their next turn, and it wouldn't delay attacking with your own creatures since the current wording of the blink ability doesn't return the creature to the battlefield with haste anyway.

  @Jadefire
  Good points. When I designed this card I was heavily focused on flavor and didn't think as much about the play patterns. Though I also thought about manifest as a way to use mana. Mostly, I figured Manifest, Flying, and Disappearing/Reappearing are dream themed. Perhaps I will remake this one once I think about it a little further.
